It was very quiet outside the yard. Concubine Qin wore a light purple dress that was made of one of the 10 kinds of brocade. It made her look both unobtrusive and voluptuous, adding to the beauty of her delicate face. She stood in the shadows outside the yard and her eyes, which had always been proud, were not calm. She frowned slightly and waited quietly under the tree.
At this time, the moon had risen into the sky, but it was not bright tonight. The air was a little dull, as if a heavy rain was coming. It was a summer day with changeable weather—it could be sunny for a while and the next second thunderous.
A room in the yard was very lively. From time to time, women's exaggerated charming laughter could be heard. It didn't make people happy at night, because it sounded fake. Since Concubine Xiang was carrying King Xuan's child, no one in the yard was really happy.
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You must haven't expected that Concubine
Yu Mingyong's residence was also called the Yu Manor, which stood far apart facing the Yu Manor on the other side of the street. However, regardless of its gates' location, the location of the manor, or its scale, it was more magnificent than the other Yu Manor. After all, it was the Emperor's favorite consort's home. Even though Yu Mingyong had not made much progress, he was still able to support the manor.As soon as Consort Yu entered the yard, she heard Yu Mingyong's screams. "Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Damn it! Look at the wound carefully before applying the medicine! Are you trying to kill me?""Sir, don't move. The more you move, the more inconvenient it will be for me to apply the medicine.""You nasty servant! Get lost! You're being reasonable?!" There was the sound of objects being pushed over and down, followed by the sound of begging for mercy.The woman who walked into the yard frowned with displeasure. An older maidservant
"Look at you, why are you still trying to take revenge on them?" Seeing that Yu Mingyong still didn't listen to her, Consort Yu raised her voice and gritted her teeth angrily. She couldn't help heavily patting him a few more times."Ouch, Elder Sister how could you hit me when I'm already wounded? Anyway, I can't swallow my pride. So what if I'm in this state? The He family has never had a good time. I heard that they have been driven away by King Xuan from his house. It's now the time to strike them when they are down. Why can't I seek revenge for myself? I just don't believe that Consort Zhao in the palace dare to openly help them when something like this has happened."Yu Mingyong's voice grew louder and louder and he felt more and more rational. It was rare for him to look at Consort Yu so forcefully and insist on his plan. He had been framed over and over again recently and was already full of anger. He vented all his anger on the He family. He felt th
Not only did the He family not know how to repay a debt of gratitude, they had even offended Consort Xuan. The fact that they had dared to frame Consort Xuan had instantly spread throughout all the noble families in the capital.While everyone was wondering how King Xuan would deal with the He family, Feng Yuran really lived up to other's expectations. Before the banquet finished, he had driven the He family away from his house. He had also gotten people to say that his relationship with the He family was over. From then on, anything that the He family did had nothing to do with him, and they were just strangers.All of a sudden, it caused a big uproar in the capital.Some thought that the He family was too shameless and too bold that they dared to plot against King Xuan. They really did not want to live. If King Xuan had not considered that they were related by blood, they would have been sentenced to death.However, some people t
Mo Xuetong, who was in the West Hill Yard, did not know that something big happened in the capital once they left. Many people started to plot again because of this matter. The He family had already been driven away by Feng Yuran, and their First Miss who had been sent to King Xuan's Manor was said to have been sent to a brothel. This represented that King Xuan's Manor and the He family had officially broken up.Of course, there was another saying: King Xuan doted heavily on his little wife and could not bear to let her suffer a little and that was why he treated the He family that way.Of course, what happened to the brothers of the He family that night had been said to have been done by King Xuan in the beginning. However, it gradually died down. Those who knew of Feng Yuran's character knew that if he were to act up, he would not care when or where they were, and would definitely beat them to death if he wanted to. He did not have to wait until night and
Feng Yuran walked back to the pavilion, lifted the curtains and walked in. He met Mo Xuetong's bright eyes that looked at him through the thin blanket. When she saw him coming in, she immediately blocked the gap and hid inside it. Her cute and silly behavior made Feng Yuran amused.He came over and pulled off a part of her blanket to make her head peep out. "Don't you feel hot? Why are you so shy?" he asked with a smile.Mo Xuetong's face was red and she wanted to say something. However, when she thought of how she was not properly dressed under the thin blanket, she could not speak. Her mouth opened but she felt that she could not speak anything."Do you want me to help you put on your clothes?" Feng Yuran sat by the couch, looking as if he was going to pull her thin blanket again."No!" Mo Xuetong was determined. She blinked her watery eyes and her eyes were moist."Alright, alright. Then, get up quickly. I'll take y
Feng Yuran was not in a hurry to eat. After the meal, he chatted with Emperor Zongwen for a while before returning to the manor with his subordinates.When they reached the gate, Steward Wang and Nanny Chen who was in charge of the back courtyard were already waiting there. When they saw Feng Yuran dismount from his horse before the gate, they hurried over to welcome him.Feng Yuran got off the horse, raised his hand, and asked everyone to get up. He strode inside and said, "Wang Fu, you go to deal with the affairs in the outer courtyard first. Come to me later. Nanny Chen, come with me!"Steward Wang nodded and left after a salute.After they arrived at the hall, Feng Yuran sat down and a servant served him tea. He drank the tea before saying, "Nanny Chen, tell me what happened.""Your Highness, when you and Her Lady left, all the concubines in the backyard went to Concubine Xiang's house. I heard that they went to co
There had never been a manor where so many people had been beaten to death. Under the spread of people with ulterior motives, the fact that a dozen concubines had been beaten to death in King Xuan's Manor was spread around like the tide. It dispelled the previous controversy between King Xuan's Manor and the He family. This matter had nothing to do with Consort Xuan. It was said that she fell ill because of the matter about the He family and was still in the West Hill Yard.King Xuan had hurried back in order to protect the unborn child in a concubine's belly. However, he was too late. The concubine had miscarried because of the other concubines in the manor. This matter was not kept secret and the bodies of the concubines had been thrown out. There was not even a corpse left behind and they were all burned.Many lamented how cold and ruthless King Xuan and secretly felt fortunate that their daughters had not yet been sent to King Xuan's Manor. Otherwise, t
Mo Xuetong returned to the manor a few days later. Feng Yuran had Feng Yue bring her back and told others that she was ill because she had been framed again and again on her birthday. When she entered the manor, her carriage stopped at the second door, and then Feng Yuran carried her into the back yard because she was really ill.Of course, this illness was not due to anger as the rumors spread outside. Feng Yuran found a miracle doctor a while ago, who inserted needles in her body, which caused her to be weak for the time being. Although she was weak, she was in good spirits. Mo Xuetong knew that the poison in her body had not been removed, and was just controlled.Mo Yu came in happily as soon as she lay on the bed. She walked up to Mo Xuetong and said proudly, "My Lady, don't worry. I heard that the woman who offended you, named Concubine Xiang, died because she felt sad for losing the baby in her belly a few days ago."Mo Xuetong's maidserv
