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 back
However, 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
"Why are you back so late? Was it so troublesome?" When Mo Xuetong came back to her yard, Feng Yuran had already been waiting there. He threw down the book in his hand and looked up lazily. His bright eyes landed on her, a doting smile flashing in them.Usually, he was not at home at this time. The situation in the court had suddenly changed and he had many things to deal with. Even though Emperor Zongwen doted on him the most, if he did not have a certain amount of strength, Mo Xuetong believed that Emperor Zongwen would not choose him. Compared to the kingdom, Emperor's love for him was a little lighter.Then he was worried about her!Thinking of this, Mo Xuetong smiled even more sweetly. She walked to the couch and blinked her shimmery eyes. "Not really. It was not so troublesome, but I learn something else."Then she waved her hand and the maidservants in the room sensibly left one by one. Mo Ye had already gone to find Mo Feng
Mo Xuetong did not expect Shopkeeper Xing to be so efficient. The next morning, she received news that the woman in the painting was now in King Chu's Manor. She was Consort Chu's personal maid who usually stayed by Consort Chu's side, but she would not go out when Consort Chu left the manor. She would only help Consort Chu manage the matters of the manor.Yu Sirong had entered King Chu's Manor? Mo Xuetong did not expect a casual move of hers to be so useful.Mo Xuetong paused for a moment and then asked Mo Ye to send a message to Shopkeeper Xing, asking him to keep an eye on Yu Sirong's unusual actions. Yu Sirong returned to the capital secretly, but did not go to her parents or relatives. Instead, she sold herself as a servant and entered King Chu's Manor. Of course, it was not just because of her bad reputation that she was not allowed to live in the Yu Manor.In her past life, Yu Sirong was the victor. After Mo Xuetong married into Duke's m
King Chu's birthday banquet was neither too big nor too small. However, all the people who were related to King Chu came to the banquet. How could they not come? King Chu was the most popular prince now. King Chu was so close to the throne that officials who had little contact with him flock to visit him. As such, the tables that had been set were far from enough.Mo Yarui was in over her head and could barely have time to rest because the number of the table had to increase again and again. Although she was so busy, she did not forget to greet Ling Rui'er, who had been rounded. She was not so arrogant as to think that she was the most powerful mistress in the manor after Ling Rui'er had been grounded and she took over the power to manage the manor.As King Chu was still staying in the main courtyard, she knew that he was forced by the situation to imprison Consort Chu. And once the matter had settled, Ling Rui'er would still be Consort Chu, and Mo Yarui wo
The next day was King Chu Feng Yuxuan's birthday banquet. The gifts had already arrived yesterday, so there was no need to take gifts all the way. Feng Yuxuan was Feng Yuran's eldest brother and his relatives did not have to pay attention to empty forms. As such, his brothers' gifts were all sent to him one day earlier.This was to save the trouble of the birthday banquet. With their status, they did not care about whether the gifts were expensive or not because their gifts were often from the palace, each of which was a treasure. There was no need for these princes to compete with others. In this way, people would not think that their gifts were better than theirs as they were from the royal family, and in case that some people's gifts would be relatively shabby.Mo Xuetong did not want to attend such a banquet. She and Ling Rui'er hated each other. It could be said that they had been on bad terms since they met each other. So Mo Xuetong did not want to me
After a long while, the Sixth Princess put down Mo Xuetong's wrist and put on a look of slight apology on her face. "Eighth Sister-in-law, I... didn't find anything. I just feel that you're a little weak. Other than that, I didn't find anything else!"She meant that she was not good at medicine. No one demanded a princess's level of medical skill. It was not a big deal whether she was good at it or not. Especially in such a situation, she still reached out to examine Mo Xuetong. The Sixth Princess was more respected. It seemed that she was a really kind person.Mo Xuetong retracted her wrist as if she did not care. With a smile playing on her lips, she said sincerely, "You're too polite, Sixth Princess. Thank you for seeing me. His Highness has to thank you heavily later."It sounded as if the Sixth Princess had come specially to examine Consort Xuan. Then some people thought that maybe the Sixth Princess was a medical expert as Consort Xuan ha
Behind the rockery, a man looked at the woman at the corner in a daze. She walked casually under the tree with light steps. As the breeze blew gently, the hem of her dress fluttered loosely like fine sand, and the belt also danced in the wind, looking quite charming. There was only a delicate jade hairpin on her head. As the pearls on the hairpin swayed, her eyes appeared crystal clear and looked like water. Her dark pupils were like bright pearls.Her eyelashes were curved. As she slightly looked up, her thick and long eyelashes fluttered, making her as beautiful as a fairy.Was she like the woman who was so beautiful as to cause cities and kingdoms to fall?While he was staring blankly, someone suddenly pulled his sleeve. He turned around in a hurry and saw the manservant who took him in. The manservant stood behind him, sweating and said, "Sir Hong, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time. Didn't I tell you not to go away
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
