After what had happened in the imperial palace, the Empress had given all the power to manage the imperial harem to Consort Su, and she herself had gone to the Buddha Hall to pray for the dead palace servants and sent most of the rest servants in her palace to other palaces. She looked as if she were completely dedicated to the Buddha and would no longer care about what was happening in the palace.
Once this news came out, everyone got excited.
King Chu was in charge of court affairs, and even though King Xuan would participate in it from time to time, everyone could tell that King Chu was in charge. King Xuan was just an idle prince who would work occasionally. Now Consort Su was in charge of the imperial harem.
King Yan was grounded in his manor, and the Empress no longer meddled in affairs of the imperial harem...
What did this mean? It was worth studying. Countless pairs of eyes in the court were watching these changes!

After the Qixi Festival banquet in the imperial harem, those young men and women did not become couples but made the Emperor and the Empress unhappy. After the news that the Empress entered the Buddha Hall of her own accord, it was also said that Consort Zhao also shut herself up in the Mingyue Palace to pray for blessings for the dead palace servants.The two powerful women were immediately isolated from the world, leaving Consort Su to outshine others. Was the Emperor trying to promote King Chu to the Crown Prince? The officials all had their own ideas. Someone had already secretly sent gifts to King Chu's Manor to privately show their loyalty to King Chu. However, most officials were just waiting and watching. It was not easy to guess what the current Emperor was thinking about.King Yan had already been of noble status and was about to become the Crown Prince, but he had been locked up since his wedding. In fact, there was no evidence about that matter.
Ever since He Yufen came to the capital, she was always thinking about this man, and all she wanted was to live a peaceful life with him. Perhaps she desired his handsome appearance, perhaps she craved his wealth and rank, or perhaps she just wanted to enter his heart and become the one he was willing to protect. But now, there was only despair and sadness in her eyes.Tears dropped unconsciously. Her hands clenched the dry firewood on the ground. Actually, there was already someone in his heart where no one else was able to replace. However, she had still thought highly of herself that she could take the place of Mo Xuetong by Consort Zhao's power and her own beauty.It turned out that everything was a fond dream!She clenched her hands tightly and the thorns on the firewood pierced into her palms. She almost screamed in pain, and tears rolled down her cheeks, but she still smiled. It was the He family that had given her the wishful thinking.
He Yufen left the capital hurriedly in the evening. She passed off herself as a maidservant and mingled with Mo Xuetong's maidservants. She followed Mo Xuetong out of the King Xuan's Manor and went into an embroidery shed, and then got on a blue carriage which had been prepared at the back door. She left escorted by an old maid and a coachman.Mo Xuetong sat on the upstairs of the embroidery shed and watched the carriage leave. With some faint ripples in her limpid eyes, she felt that there were secrets in the remote He family. However, the things and people were too far away from her. Even if she sent people there, some things still remained mysterious. It had been so long that Mo Xuetong was unable to detect any clues immediately.He Yufen was the best person Mo Xuetong could think of. Compared to He Yuxiu, He Yufen was obviously more patient and intelligent. However, she was not strong enough, and was more afraid of death. When a pill was put on her body
Mo Xuetong also let out a sigh and said, "Second Consort Mo, you must be joking. King Chu is such a wise person. How could he be like our King? Our manor leaks air everywhere, and not a person can prevent it. This time, it was our manor that got King Chu into the trouble. Please convey our apologies to King Chu when you return.""Consort Xuan, you are so kind. This is also our King's fault. How could he take the South Pearl head accessory as the present? Consort Ling had taken a fancy to this set for a long time, and I heard that she had asked for it from His Highness several times. However, His Highness doted on her usually, but he did not agree this time. I did not expect that it made Consort Ling keep thinking of it, and almost... cause great trouble. But for your cleverness, we would have been done this time."Mo Yarui patted her chest with a lingering fear on her face. Even now, she was still frightened of what had happened in the palace every time she
The lady was annoyed that she did not have enough money. When she saw Mo Yarui step out again, she immediately slammed the table, pointed at Mo Yarui, and scolded her impolitely, "Hey, who are you? Does this have anything to do with you? Where did you from? What? Do you want to help her? If you really want to help her, pay for all the embroidery first."According to Mo Yarui's temper, she was no match for the lady in an argument. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes as she heard the lady's scold. She turned to look at Mo Xuetong and wanted to ask for help.Mo Xuetong had to help her when Mo Yarui looked at her with eager eyes. She sighed to herself. Even if she did not want to make trouble, trouble would always come to her. Fortunately, she was not really afraid of getting into trouble. She stood up with the help of Mo Lan; her watery eyes rolled and fell on the lady across her. She smiled gently and asked, "Miss, have you just entered the capital? You ha
Hearing Mo Xuetong's words, no matter how much Mo Yarui wanted to argue, she immediately gave up. Anyway, she was King Chu's second consort. She could not stop an unmarried young lady and ask for money. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong seemed to have no intention of helping her. She could only nod. "It's all up to Consort Xuan.""Second Consort Mo, you're wrong. This is a matter of King Chu's Manor. I'm the first consort of a different manor. How can I make the decision? Second Consort Mo, you'd better take care of it yourself," Mo Xuetong refused with a smile. As Consort Xuan, she should not care too much about the matters of King Chu's Manor. The matter that happened in the palace had not been settled yet. Even though there was no rumor about it, what if there were more rumors about it now!"Yes, I'm in charge. I lost my mind just now." Mo Yarui immediately understood what Mo Xuetong meant and knew that what she said earlier was inappropriate. She hurriedly apolog
The woman had been hiding in the crowd and watching Qin Yuxuan from the side. When she saw him running away happily, the obsession in her eyes faded away, replaced by hatred. "Mo Xuetong, it's all that bitch's fault. Cousin Xuan and I are supposed to be a couple. If it weren't for you, I would have been in love with Cousin Xuan."The book in her hand had been twisted into pieces and fell from her hand. She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the bookstore viciously. After a while, she turned around and walked into an alley. There was a small door leading to King Chu's Manor's back yard. It was a shortcut to enter King Chu's Manor."Miss Sirong, you're finally here. Her Lady sent someone to see you just now and asked you to come over as soon as possible. Her Lady is angry now!" Seeing the woman coming in, the old maid who guarded the door hurriedly came up with a warm smile."Her Lady is angry again?" After standing still, Sirong to
Mo Xuetong did not know that Yu Sirong, the first miss of the Yu family, had entered King Chu's Manor with the name of Si Rong. Furthermore, she had become Ling Rui'er's personal maidservant. However, Mo Xuetong had gotten news that Yu Sirong had come to the capital in another way.The person she saw at Old Madam Qin's banquet that day was really Yu Sirong. This news made Mo Xuetong stunned and speechless.Back then, Yu Sirong had been disfigured and sent away, but the woman she saw that day definitely had a normal face."Is her face healed?""My Lady, after you told me about this person's appearance that day, I asked someone to keep an eye on Qin Manor. After seeing off the guests, Madam Yu of Qin Manor prepared a small sedan chair in the evening and went to a house. Other than one maidservant and an old maid served in the house, there was no one else."Mo Ye explained in detail to Mo Xuetong. "After that, I heard tha
