Chapter 438 - Cards on the Table, Aunt Deals with the Nephew in the Cining Palace (1/2)

Consort Yu managed to catch her breath with the support of Caining. She took the tea handed over by the palace maid and took two gulps of it before she recovered. She felt weak and knew that she couldn’t be angry at this time. She took a few deep breaths and gradually stabilized her breathing.

Consort Yu gritted her teeth. Her expression was vicious and fierce. “Caining, get someone to summon my younger brother into the palace. Tell him that I’m not feeling well. Ask him to find some ginseng roots of age and send them to the palace.”

“Yes, I’ll get someone to inform Sir Yu right now. Your Highness, please calm down,” Caining said, trying to placate Consort Yu. She was afraid that something bad might happen to her lady. She then reminded again, “Your Highness, you have to pay attention to the little prince in your belly. You mustn’t be angry anymore!”

There was a faint hatred in Consort Yu’s eyes. She sat down again and took a deep breath. “How can I not be angry!”

How could she not be angry? Consort Zhao had dared to bully her. It turned out that there was such a story behind He Yuxiu’s marrying her younger brother in place of He Yufen. Her younger brother was framed by He family and caused an embarra.s.sing thing. Then, they changed the bride to He Yuxiu who had a bad reputation in the palace. They had really regarded her younger brother as a sucker. How could Consort Yu, who had always thought highly of herself, not grit her teeth from anger?Read more chapters at ReadNovelFull.com

No wonder although her younger brother had always behaved indecently, the news of him did not spread in the entire city. She thought of how she had been reprimanded by the Emperor when her younger brother had gotten into trouble last time. From then on, Consort Yu had been holding a grudge against Consort Zhao.

Consort Zhao had deliberately said that she wanted a marriage with Consort Yu’s family and wanted to marry her most beloved niece to Mingyong. Unexpectedly, soon, things changed and she decided to marry her younger niece. She had really regarded Consort Yu and Mingyong as fools. Now, Consort Yu’s silly younger brother was probably still thanking the He family. She was really hateful.

Standing up, Consort Yu paced around a few times. Suddenly, she asked Caining, who had returned to the palace, “Where is His Majesty now?”

Caining hesitated for a moment and said, “I heard that His Majesty went to the Empress Dowager’s Cining Palace. I think he should still be there now.” When she went out to fetch the soup earlier, she saw the Emperor’s carriage heading for the Cining Palace from afar. Thinking about the mess in Empress Dowager’s place, she thought the Emperor would definitely not be able to get out in a while.

Consort Yu looked down and said coldly, “Get someone to keep an eye on it. Remember to inform me first if His Majesty returns to the imperial study.” She already had a plan in her mind. No matter what would happen, she would not let that s.l.u.t have the advantage.

Caining tugged at Consort Yu’s sleeve anxiously. “Your Highness, you mustn’t be rash. Even if you go to complain about Consort Zhao now, there is no evidence. The two palace maids wouldn’t dare to say anything bad about Consort Zhao.”

She was Consort Yu’s personal maidservant and had entered the palace with her. Caining’s relations.h.i.+p with Consort Yu was naturally different from that of others. She was afraid that Consort Yu would have such thoughts. Even though Consort Yu was pregnant with the Emperor’s child, Caining knew exactly what was going on. A mother was n.o.ble because of her son. Consort Yu had been banished to the Cold Palace a while ago. If not for the one in her belly, she would not even have a chance to come out alive.

It was said that Consort Zhao had been doted on for 10 years. Caining was really worried that Consort Yu would go against her regardless of anything.

Consort Yu said with a cold smile, “It’s alright, Caining. Rest a.s.sured, I won’t be rash.”

Caining heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the anger on Consort Yu’s face slowly subside. She nodded and went to serve Consort Yu with soup.

Before Mo Xuetong could leave the palace, she saw Feng Yuran hurrying over with a few eunuchs. His eyes, which had always been lazy, were filled with a hint of viciousness. He lifted his eyes slightly and his handsome face was as dark as water. His entire body was filled with aloof sharpness and his purple skirts fluttered in the air. He was in such a hurry that he seemed not able to wait for the eunuchs behind him.

Mo Xuetong really had never seen Feng Yuran like this before. She could not help but be shocked when she saw this. She thought that something big had happened and hurried up to greet him.

Mo Xuetong looked behind him and asked gently, blinking her watery eyes. “Your Highness, what happened?”

Feng Yuran stopped when he saw Mo Xuetong standing at the entrance of the garden. He looked at her up and down as if he wanted to see what was different about her. When he could see that she was fine, a beautiful smile appeared on his face. He smiled like a blooming flower, taking everyone’s breath away in the blink of an eye.

His beauty was so charming that it seemed to be carved in absolute allure. It could make people drunk at a glance.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Xuetong hurriedly looked away and scolded him in her heart: He’s really a devil. However, there was a sweet smile on her face. She knew that he was fine when she saw how he was as evil as usual. Did he become so abnormal because he’s worried about her? She felt warm in her heart as if she had drunk honey.

Feng Yuran’s beautiful lips curled up into a smile. “What can possibly be wrong? I just want to see if you have returned to the manor. I don’t have anything else to do now. You can return with me.” He walked over and held Mo Xuetong’s hand. His smile grew even wider. His ink-colored hair fluttered in the wind and blew across his handsome face.

Mo Xuetong did not break free and allowed him to take her small hand obediently. “Alright!” She followed him and walked out with him.

The wide sleeves blocked their hands holding each other. However, Mo Xuetong knew that his hand was holding her tightly. His hand, which had always been warm and gentle, was actually a little sweaty. Feng Yuran must have been worried about her! When she thought of this, her hand gently took the initiative to hold his hand. The corners of her lips lifted subconsciously. It seemed that as long as she had him by her side, she would feel a sense of peace and tranquility.

The carriage had already stopped outside the palace gate. Feng Yuran helped Mo Xuetong onto the carriage, and he followed her to board.

When the curtains fell, he reached out to grab Mo Xuetong, who was leaning on the side, and held her in his arms. His eyes slowly cooled down and he said, “Tong’er, did Ling Rui’er secretly frame you?”
