When Yun Ya came to Madam Qu's courtyard, Madam Qu hadn't gone to bed. In these days, the Ministry of Justice had a lot of things to deal with, so Luo Bin came back late. Sometimes, it was too late, and he would stay in the study outside for the whole night. Madam Qu felt worried about her husband, so she slept in the yard a little late. When she knew that Luo Bin was back, she could ask someone to invite him in.
Luo Bin had not come back till this time today. Madam Qu was embroidering under the lamp. When she heard that Yun Ya had come over, she hurriedly asked her maidservant to invite her in. She had only one daughter by her side. Now that her daughter was married out, she could not come specially to see her. When she saw Yun Ya, she really treated her as a daughter.
"Aunt." As soon as she entered the room, Yun Ya immediately became a delicate little girl. After saluting Madam Qu affectionately, she sat beside her and picked up her embroidery. "Aunt, you
Before Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong had time to go to General Manor, the next morning, Luo Mingzhu hurried into King Xuan's Manor and entered Mo Xuetong's room.Mo Xuetong had just gotten up and had breakfast. She asked the maidservant to pour a cup of hot tea for Luo Mingzhu. Then she noticed that the latter picked the cup, took a sip of it and looked around.Understanding what she meant, Mo Xuetong waved her hand, gesturing for the servants to leave. Then, she asked directly, "Second Cousin, what's the matter?"With a glance at Luo Mingzhu, she knew that something was happening. Luo Mingzhu's face was pale and she gritted her teeth angrily."Cousin Tong, Elder Brother..." Luo Mingzhu felt so embarrassed that she lowered her head. Putting down the teacup in her hand, she gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin Tong, Elder Brother was drunk yesterday and somehow slept with Yun Ya on the same bed. The manor was in chaos this morning. I he
Mo Xuetong asked Luo Mingzhu to wait in the yard and went to Feng Yuran's Jinwei Pavilion in the front yard to talk with him for a while. She refused Feng Yuran's good intentions of going with her and planned to go to General Manor by herself. Anyway, it was General Manor's domestic affairs, and it was a matter of the inner yard. It was not suitable for Feng Yuran, a prince, to come forward.When Mo Xuetong was ready, she and Luo Mingzhu hurried to have lunch before going to General Manor.After an hour, their carriages slowly stopped in front of General Manor.When the servants guarding the gate saw that it was the two young ladies who had returned, they immediately reported to Old Madam. Soon, Nanny Shen, who was by Old Madam's side, welcomed them to the main entrance."Greetings, Consort Xuan. Greetings, Second Miss." Nanny Shen hurried up to curtsy to the two when they got out of the carriage. However, she didn't look good and
"Mingzhu, how, how could you say that?" Madam Qu was stunned. She had never expected her gentle and kind daughter to say something like that. She looked up at Luo Mingzhu in shock."Second Aunt, what do you want Second Cousin and me to say? Do you want Second Cousin to give a face to a woman who has plotted against General Manor? Second Aunt, you are now a knife in someone's hand. Don't you know that you are used to plotting against General Manor? What would Second Uncle think if he finds out?"Mo Xuetong was furious as well. If she had not asked her people to watch Yun Ya, she would not have known that You Yuecheng was using her to plot against General Manor. No wonder You Yuecheng had so many speculations in the desolate little courtyard in the back yard and they were close to the truth. There was indeed someone who was passing on the message.Yun Ya was now the cousin of General Manor, and it would be easy for her to find out something about
"Consort Xuan, I don't know what I did to offend you, and you use these things to frame me. Don't blow this matter up not for my sake, but please for the sake of my aunt and General Manor. I promise you, Consort Xuan, that even if I marry into the manor in the future, I will find a desolate courtyard in the manor and live there. I will never see His Excellency again and affect His Excellency's marriage to his wife. I will only live quietly in the manor until I die."Yun Ya looked sad and her tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at Mo Xuetong pathetically and humbly as if Mo Xuetong had pushed her to death on purpose. Her request was simple. She just wanted a place to stay, even if it was just a desolate courtyard.Furthermore, she also mentioned Madam Qu and Luo Wenyou, as if Mo Xuetong refused to do them a favor and was intentionally making them lose face if she was against her.Such a weak woman was so sad and desperate. She would rather
"What?" Madam Qu was shocked as if she had been struck by lightning. She almost couldn't stand still."Madam, you didn't hear wrong. Your niece is no longer a virgin girl. She has more than one intimate encounter. It seems that it happened half a year ago." The nanny, who came out to report, glanced sideways at Madam Qu with sarcasm and said coldly.The two of them came from the palace, so they naturally did not have to care about Madam Qu's sensibility. What was more, their current master was Consort Xuan. Judging from Madam Qu's appearance, they knew that she hated Consort Xuan. Then, why did they have to save Madam Qu's face?"No, that can't be true. It's impossible. It must be impossible." Madam Qu staggered a few steps, and her face was as pale as snow. How could her delicate niece be a slutty woman? How could she not be a virgin girl? Did the nannies make a mistake? Her eyes suddenly met Mo Xuetong's deep watery eyes. The shock and confus
This was no longer a simple case of taking a concubine. However, it could not be used to testify against You Yuecheng. Yun Ya had loose morals and had already had an affair with someone else, and no one would believe her. You Yuecheng had always enjoyed a good reputation. A mere Yun Ya could not shake his reputation. Even though the jade pendant was owned by those who could enter the palace, You Yuecheng was not the only person who had it. It was possible that he would bite Luo Wenyou backHowever, Mo Xuetong thought they should not waste such a person. She might as well get someone to watch over Yun Ya. Yun Ya was still in her courtyard which would be tightly guarded but nothing could be seen on the surface. When there was a need, she could be taken out to testify against You Yuecheng. It would be the most appropriate use at the crucial juncture. However, it was still not a good time to alert the enemy.Then the servants took Yun Ya and her two servants ar
In Luo Bin's study, a celadon cup was thrown in front of Madam Qu. Luo Mingzhu, who was hiding outside, was so frightened that she trembled. Her father was really annoyed."Tell me, what do you want to do?" Luo Bin was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead bulged. He glared at Madam Qu. It could be said as the matter that Yun Ya wanted to marry into Fu General Manor as a concubine or the matter that might make them get into trouble and cause the whole family to be completely destroyed. Luo Bin was usually in charge of this kind of thing. How could he not know about it?It was difficult to guess the Emperor's intentions. He had not known for many years whether the Emperor knew about it or not, but this matter could not be made public no matter what. Once it was made public, Fu General Manor would definitely be known as the remnants of King Jin's faction. This was a grave crime that even the Emperor would not be able to spare them even if he wanted to.
Mo Xuetong and Luo Mingzhu parted ways at the entrance of Fu General Manor. They used to go the same way for a while before they parted. Today, Luo Mingzhu claimed that she had something to do—to visit an elder of the Li family. It happened that the two of them weren't on the same path, so they parted ways at the gate. Mo Xuetong sat in the carriage and watched Luo Mingzhu's carriage go away before asking her coachman to drive.Luo Mingzhu acted quite oddly. She had hurried into King Xuan's Manor in the morning because of what happened to Fu General Manor. Then, that matter happened in Fu General Manor. How could she be in the mood to visit an elder? She had been standing behind the study earlier and Mo Xuetong's second uncle and aunt had been arguing. It was said that the two had gotten into a big fight. Could it be because of this?"My Lady, are we going back to the manor now?" Mo Ye asked after getting on the carriage. As she noticed that Mo Xuetong was
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
