Not to mention that the censor would chastise Feng Yuzhen with the pen, the people in the world would not stand by his side. It could be said that Feng Yuzhen was doomed.
How could the Empress Dowager be willing to see her own grandson end up like this?
"Your Majesty, Zhen'er must have been fooled by someone else. It must not be his intention. It might be his subordinates who did it themselves and he might really not know anything. He has a good relationship with King Chu and the other brothers. How could he do something like that?" The Empress Dowager paused and said anxiously. She did not continue the topic of asking the three judiciaries to deal with the case.
"Good relationship?" Emperor Zongwen gave a wintry smile and looked the Empress Dowager in the eye. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to look away. "Mother, King Ning really has a good relationship with his brothers. Not only does he treat them well, but he also treats me well. Whe
King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, had not been punished, but Auntie Qing, Mo Yufeng, Yu Feng, and Mdm Chen and her daughter were all punished. However, since the principal culprit King Ning wasn't criminalized, they naturally would not be sentenced to death. Each of them had been beaten 50 times. How could an ordinary person bear the punishment from the palace? Furthermore, the torturers knew that the Emperor was angry and thus worked even harder.Auntie Qing, Mdm Chen and her daughter were weak, and their legs were broken on the spot. Then they died soon after getting home.Not long after Mo Yufeng who had become a bloody pulp was carried home, Mo Huawen asked the doctor to take a look at him. Then, he gave the young man some medicine and silver and asked the manservant to carry him to an inn, find a room and throw him there. Then, Mo Huawen opened the ancestral temple and deleted him from the Mo family tree. From then on, Mo Yufeng had nothing to do with the Mo Man
When it was daybreak, Madam Qu went to pay respects to the Old Madam with her servants. The Old Madam was currently in poor health and did not ask Madam Qu to pay her respects all the time. This was especially so after the incident caused by Yun Ya. The Old Madam had become colder towards Madam Qu. The latter had sensed it and thus usually would not come to her place when there was nothing needed to deal with.It was rare for her to come over to pay her respects to the Old Madam. Before she walked into the room, she heard the Old Madam and Nanny Shen, the personal nanny, talking about something, along with a burst of laughter. Apparently, the Old Madam was in a good mood. Madam Qu heaved a sigh of relief and her eyes flashed slightly. Then, she put on a big smile on her face before entering.A maidservant had already seen her coming and hurried in to report to the Old Madam. Then someone had come to lift the curtain for her.When she entered th
Coming out of the Old Madam's courtyard and returning to her own courtyard, Madam Qu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and almost shattered them. She grasped the things by her hand and threw them to the ground. In a while, all kinds of expensive porcelains were broken all over the ground. The young and old maidservants were so frightened that they trembled. They stood at the door and did not dare to move, afraid that they would annoy their mad mistress and get themselves into trouble.When the things in the room were almost smashed, Madam Qu stopped, panting. She sat in a pile of broken utensils with a gloomy face. After a long time, she stood up and ordered the nanny coming from her parents' home to come in. Then she took out a letter from her arms. It was the letter that she had planned to send out of the manor today. It was the evidence that she had collected after a long time of collating. Originally, she wanted to send it out in person.It seemed
It was the afternoon of the second day when Mo Xuetong woke up from her dazed state and opened her eyes slightly. Seeing the familiar curtain embroidered with flowers and butterflies, she inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief. Sensing her body, she felt that she was okay, and just a little weak."Her Lady has woken up.""Her Lady has woken up!""Come on, bring the medicine to Her Lady and bring some preserves Her Lady had eaten last time to help her have the medicine.""Okay, I'll go and take it now. Go and check on Her Lady's health first!"Mo Xuetong could hear the excited babble of her personal maidservants. Even Mo Lan, who had always been calm, seemed to have lost her composure.Mo Xuetong propped herself up and tried to sit up. She touched her head gently. Someone had already propped her up and placed a soft cushion behind her back. Mo Lan and the others helped her take the medicine and then she regai
"After the incident last time, we investigated everyone in the manor and found that many people weren't innocent... So Her Highness fired many servants. Later, Princess Royal fell ill and enjoyed peace and quiet, so we just let it be first. When Her Highness gets better, we will pick some servants to come in," Nanny Qin explained with a worried look, but her words were noncommittal.Mo Xuetong knew that she was referring to Ling Fengyan's death. Even though it was said that it had nothing to do with Princess Royal in the end, was it true? Why did she hold that banquet? Why did she invite all the princes to attend it? Why wasn't there anyone ask others when the incense was lit? Or perhaps there were other small matters that appeared suspicious. If Mo Xuetong came to think of it carefully, how could Princess Royal's Manor really be innocent?It was very convenient to send someone into a manor like Princess Royal's where there was only a idle mistress. In the
Mo Xuetong woke up in the morning light. Looking at the curtains shining with multicolored light, she could not come back to her senses. The seats of the large carriage were covered with bamboo mats. The curtains fluttered in the breeze and the morning light shone brightly. It was as beautiful as brocade. This was an extremely rare piece of cloud satin. It was a tribute from overseas and was rarely seen even in the imperial palace of the Qin Kingdom.Because of the small number of it, this satin was only used to make handkerchiefs for the favored imperial consorts. Unexpectedly, there was such a large piece of cloud satin to be used as a window curtain in the carriage. It was extremely extravagant!"You're awake." A clear and sweet voice came.Mo Xuetong looked in the direction of the voice and realized that there was also a beautiful lady sitting in the horse carriage. The lady was dressed in a long snow-white dress that outlined her graceful
The horse carriage continued to move slowly and it was very quiet inside. Bai Yihao reclined in the seat in a comfortable manner. His eyes were as bright as stars and he had a faint smile on his face. He expertly took out a pot of tea from a hidden compartment beside him with his slender fingers. Then he fetched two teacups from under the table before he picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Mo Xuetong.After that, he poured another cup for himself and turned to look at Mo Xuetong's red and swollen face. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it immediately turned into a warm smile. Taking out a jade-white porcelain bottle from his arms, he asked with a smile, "Do you want me to apply medicine for you?""No!" Mo Xuetong refused lightly."All right!" Bai Yihao did not make things difficult for her. He pushed the porcelain bottle in front of her and said, "Then you apply some medicine on yourself later, or ask Qing Zhu to
It was very quiet in the carriage as there was no sound for a long time. After a while, Bai Yihao opened his eyes and smiled, "Not yet. The poison hasn't spread to your lungs, so it's not the worst. When we arrive at the capital of the Yan Kingdom, I'll write a prescription and get medical herbs."Mo Xuetong thought for a while and said, "If you want that jade token, I'll go back and find it for you. It's not mine anyway." She had sensed that those secret guards had long since wanted to work for Bai Yihao. Only Shopkeeper Xing was willing to work for her for old times' sake. The assistant leader of the secret guards had already had his own idea, and it was meaningless for Mo Xuetong to stop him. Besides, the old master of those secret guards was King Jin. Now they worked for the most powerful man, Bai Yihao, which meant that they found a good master.As they were able to quietly leave the capital of the Qin Kingdom, those secret guards must have played an i
