Chapter 333 - A Pair of Second Consorts Enters King Yans Manor (2/2)
She thought she would be dead and did not expect herself to become the second consort of King Yan. Mo Xueqiong’s heart was swaying on heaven as she couldn’t believe this to be real. At this time, she heard the eunuch outside reading the orders and could not suppress the excitement in her heart. She pulled the curtains aside and was delighted to see that handsome face.
She could not care about etiquette, rus.h.i.+ng over to seek comfort.
Since the things that had happened today were too horrifying, she had been in a state of panic as if she had lost her soul.
After pus.h.i.+ng Mo Xuetong down the carriage, the carriage collapsed and her head hit the carriage walls heavily. The window fell on her face, creating a few scars there before she fainted. After she woke up, she was harshly interrogated by someone unknown. She dared not hide anything and explained everything she knew accurately.
Afterward, she was sent on a sedan towards King Yan’s manor.
She thought she must be dreaming to be married to the young and handsome King Yan as a second consort. She believed that she would be rich and famous in the future, enjoying all the resources out there. When Feng Yulei became the emperor in the future, she would be a doted concubine, or even the empress, enjoying a position second only to the emperor himself. Thinking about that made Mo Xueqiong not afraid anymore, as a surge of pa.s.sion rushed through her veins.
If she had known that killing Mo Xuetong was so beneficial, she would have struck earlier!
She had always been unsatisfied and envious at that b.i.t.c.h for her position as a princess and for her future marriage to a king, especially when she believed that she was not inferior to Mo Xuetong at all. She believed that she could achieve the same feat. See, as long as that b.i.t.c.h died, she was now becoming the concubine of a king, enjoying numerous riches.
She became prouder as she pondered on the possibilities. Shen then faked her affection and called out again, “Your Highness!”, completely ignoring the black face of Feng Yulei, who was about to explode in anger.
“Screw off!” Looking at this pretentious woman, Feng Yulei’s veins emerged from his face out of anger. Only this woman was possible of revealing to the Emperor the fact that he gifted her a piece of handkerchief. He stretched out his leg and kicked at the running Mo Xueqiong with great force. He was immensely angry and was nothing like his usual composed self.
Mo Xueqiong did not know that Feng Yulei would kick her and thus flew out without any defense. Her body knocked onto the white jade pillars behind, spitting blood upon impact with it. Her veil slipped off and a disfigured face was revealed. Two deep scars were across her face, dividing her nose and splitting her pretty face into two sinister halves.
“Your Highness, you…” She raised her head in disbelief. Looking at Feng Yulei, her eyes diverted away as she tried her best to utter words. However, her head just feebly fell down and then she fainted.
“Hurry and pull her down.” Feng Yulei looked at Mo Xueqiong in disgust and ordered harshly.
Seeing that their master’s att.i.tude, the two eunuchs came and pulled Mo Xueqiong down like a dead dog, grabbing her two arms respectively. After they were gone, only two light trails of blood remained. n.o.body cared about her life. Once inside this manor, she became an a.s.set of the manor. Feng Yulei, as the lord of this manor, would naturally destroy the lives of the people who failed to satisfy his heart.
In the other sedan, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably. She did not expect King Yan with a good reputation to be so violent. Now, she dared not speak at all. The thought of her being kicked just now made her face turn snow-white as she touched her stomach subconsciously.
Her fingers were pulling on the curtain as she tried her best to not make a single sound.
“Bring her down too.” Feng Yulei’s cold voice came from outside.
“Yes.”
Someone answered and the sedan was lifted up and slowly away from Feng Yulei. Throughout the entire process, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu did not utter a single word.
In King Yan’s Manor, Feng Yulei became angry and anxious, pacing in the room uncontrollably. Another person was equally furious.
King Ning Feng Yuzhen was pacing in Cining Palace at the same time. Empress Dowager sat gloomily on her throne. There was only one candle lit in the hall and the hall was dim as if many demons were inside it.
“Grandma, what now?” “You asked me not to marry w.a.n.g Xiuxiu, what now?” Feng Yuzhen’s face was dreary as he complained anxiously to Empress Dowager.
In the past, the decision to not marry w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was because he was not afraid of her escaping his control since he had promised her of a prestigious position in the future. With w.a.n.g Xiuxiu unable to escape, Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g would naturally be at his side. As long as he lured w.a.n.g Xiuxiu on, Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g could only help himself. With Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g’s power in the court, his development would naturally be smoother.
However, with w.a.n.g Xiuxiu entering King Yan’s manor, everything came cras.h.i.+ng down. Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g was now no longer his helper. If Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g betrayed him, it would be devastating since many of his secret intelligence came from Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g.
“Don’t worry. He dared not do so.” Empress Dowager answered coldly. Her wrinkled face under the candlelight made her seem as eerie as a ghost. “Don’t worry, Zhen’er. I have information that could be used against him.”
“Grandma, do we need to ask for marriage from General Manor now?” Feng Yuzhen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Empress Dowager’s words. He wiped the cold sweat off his head. They had decided for Empress Dowager to order marriage of General Manor but now did not seem to be the time since such an incident happened. Emperor Zongwen must be unhappy now, and if General Manor was unsatisfied with this marriage, the Emperor would naturally investigate further.
Fu General manor was not any ordinary aristocrat, for a quarter of Great Qin’s military was under their control. Feng Yuzhen dared not attempt this gamble However, he had left Yan Kingdom for a while already, and Emperor Zongwen must have sent people to investigate. If evidence was found proving that he was no longer in the Yan Kingdom, it would be an utter disaster for him!
That made more cold sweat emerge from Feng Yuzhen’s head.
“Zhen’er, don’t worry. I shall take care of this matter. I will ask the Emperor to send you back tomorrow.” Empress Dowager’s Buddhist beads seemed to be pulled on hard as the beads fell onto the ground, giving off a dull sound. In this mysterious hall, the sound made one inexplicably afraid.
It could not be later than tomorrow as the Yan Kingdom had sent the message that special messengers from the Qin Kingdom had entered their state, reaching the city tomorrow! It would be impossible for Empress of Yan Kingdom to conceal the information that Feng Yuzhen was not in the Yan Kingdom then!
