Chapter 370 - The Sudden Visit by Lady of Xian (1/2)

Chapter 370 The Sudden Visit by Lady of Xian

Feng Yuran was indeed met with an accident. He fell down from his horse and injured his leg. Even though it was fortunate that this did not make his disabled, he still had to rest for a few days at home due to his prestigious status as a prince. Furthermore, the imperial doctor stated that his leg could really be disabled if he did not rest well!

The entire King Xuan’s Manor was immediately on high alert as good medications and herbs were sent into the manor consistently. Even the imperial palace sent bountiful amounts of medications to King Xuan’s Manor as they were afraid of any mishaps happening to the doted prince of the Emperor, for no one could take responsibility for his injury.

Some were sad, some were disappointed, but others were delighted!

This matter happening at this crucial junction made everyone who had been paying attention to Feng Yuran relax!

He had to rest for at least three to four weeks after having injured his leg. It would be even better if his leg was broken as the Great Qin’s imperial rules stated that a disabled man could not be the emperor. As the face of the country, the Emperor needed not to be handsome, but he had to be able-bodied.

If Feng Yuran did break his leg from falling off a horse, he would lose the opportunity to fight for the throne. Even though not many speculators were interested in this prince despite him “turning over a new leaf” for these two days. Many believed that he was merely putting up a show and could not endure long. However, they still showed their concerns to him as he was, after all, an imperial prince.

It was at Feng Yuran’s Jinwei Hall.

Mo Xuetong was sitting in the little study on the middle floor. She was on the couch next to a desk, embroidering peacefully while being surrounded by the fragrance of the burning sandalwood. Next to the couch, a few precious antiques were placed in the well-decorated cabinet. Inside the long white beautiful porcelain bowl, a few branches of deviously beautiful flowers were blooming within.Read more new novels on ReadNovelFull.com

A pa.s.sionate sense of elegance was born out of the beauty, giving the peaceful room a shade of light pink.

She knew that above her, Feng Yuran was discussing with his confidants. Thus she had nothing to do but to embroider instead. With His Highness injured, his consort had to naturally stay here to tend to him or others would accuse her of not being concerned about Feng Yuran. King Ning had entered the palace already. He had gained a good reputation for replacing the imperial princes as the hostage and for his filial piety in rus.h.i.+ng back to tend to Empress Dowager’s sickness.

At this time, several princes were met with different incidents and King Ning’s splendid reputation made him the center of attention. Many court officials insisted on choosing a consort for King Ning. Hence, the Emperor had to put up a show and announced that he would allocate an obedient and virtuous girl as his consort. The responsibility of choosing the girl naturally laid with Empress Dowager, who had just recovered from her illness.

The Empress turned sick either due to Feng Yulei’s matters or poor health, which made her unable to tend to matters in the harem from Tianfeng Palace. Thus, Empress Dowager naturally took the power from the Empress, taking control of all the situations from within the internal palace. No matter how enthusiastic imperial n.o.ble consort Su was, her position as a consort could not be compared to Empress Dowager.

Even though Feng Yuxuan was involved in politics as well, his support from the imperial harem was less significant than Feng Yuzhen. However, in the official court, Feng Yuxuan held the position as Emperor Zongwen’s son, which made Feng Yuzhen conceal his actual thoughts on the throne, if he did have any.

Even though Feng Yuran had little outsiders’ support, he was the most doted son of the Emperor. He could also be considered a successor to the throne ever since he stopped being a promiscuous b.u.m. It used to be a triangular struggle for power between him, Feng Yuzhen, and Feng Yuxuan. However, due to his leg injury, it was now the conflict between two parties.

The situation became clearer and more intense!

Because of Feng Yuran’s exit, the situation in the imperial city became tenser!

“My Lady, Lady of Xian came to visit.” Mo Lan hurried in and reported.

Mo Xuetong was stunned. King Xuan’s Manor had not much contact with Lady of Xian, and they usually did not visit each other.

Why was Lady of Xian here!

Ever since the meeting with Empress Dowager, Mo Xuetong had never seen Lady of Xian again, and hence she bore no attention to her. Then, Empress Dowager wanted to marry her to King Ning and forced her to admit that she had a marriage contract. Even though Lady of Xian was there, her att.i.tude was unknown. However, d.u.c.h.ess Mingyang and Consort Yu behind her were obviously setting up a trap for her to fall into. Hence, she was particularly concerned about those two individuals!

Ever since entering the imperial city, Lady of Xian had been close to Empress Dowager, greeting her from time to time. Why would she come at such a sensitive time!

“Did she come all alone?” Mo Xuetong placed down her embroideries and asked, frowning.

“Lady of Xian came alone. She ordered a batch of embroideries from Xiuning Workshop and wished to increase the speed for their productions. She heard that Ny Lady is the owner of Xiuning Workshop, and hence came to discuss with My Lady about the production of these goods, as she is in a hurry to use them.” Mo Lan answered, knowing the intention of her master.

“Who told you this?” It was obvious that Lady of Xian purposely spread the news to everyone before even seeing her. Mo Xuetong was curious about her intentions of being so high-key and hence asked after pondering for a while.

“The head maidservant who received Lady of Xian said that.” Mo Lan responded.

The head maidservants of imperial families were the most well-disciplined and would not spread the news of anything before approval from their masters. It did seem that Lady of Xian used this matter as an excuse to talk to her, even though she was unsure of for what purpose, as only Lady of Xian would know what she wanted. Due to Mo Xuetong’s young age and Feng Yuran’s numerous accidents, she almost never left the manor, and only visited Princess Royal once during her stay here.

With Feng Yuran’s leg injury, she had to stay in the manor to tend to him. It did seem that Lady of Xian was intent in meeting her now!
