Chapter 620 - Confused, the Person That Always Couldnt Be Seen Through (2/2)

Mo Ye said clearly. She had been paying attention to the surroundings earlier. The two secret guards were hidden in the tree and she did not pay much attention to them. Since they were in the palace, no matter how out of control King Chu was, he would not order his secret guards to whisk Mo Xuetong away. However, the two people on the other side of the road were standing in different directions, so they did not seem to be together.

“My Lady, do you want me to investigate it?” Mo Ye asked worriedly.

“There’s no need. Even if they suspect something, there is no evidence. However, if we mess up, others will easily find clues.” Mo Xuetong smiled leisurely when she sensed Mo Ye’s nervousness. Other than the fact that she had been a little fl.u.s.tered by Feng Yuxuan’s wild behavior earlier, she had been very calm.

But this incident also made her secretly alert. She must not be careless in the future!

“Yes, My Lady. The Number One Scholar Qin came suddenly. He seemed to have headed forward earlier and was far away from us. I wonder if he came because he saw King Chu. Fortunately, he came; otherwise, it would have been troublesome,” Mo Ye commented fearfully. If they were to fight, even though Mo Ye was good at martial arts, she would not be able to hold back the two secret guards. What was more, Feng Yuxuan’s martial art was also extraordinary.

Mo Xuetong was a weak woman, even weaker than an ordinary woman. If Feng Yuxuan really went out of control and took her away, Mo Xuetong would not be able to block him at all. Thus, Qin Yufeng had indeed come in time. It was so coincidental that Mo Xuetong almost thought he was pa.s.sing through.

If she had not seen the paperweight in Qin Yufeng’s hand, she would have thought that he was really pa.s.sing through.

The paperweight was made of metal and stone, engraved with a lifelike golden dragon. Such a paperweight could not be given to him by the palace. So the only possibility was that he was delivering the paperweight. He just came from the Empress Dowager’s palace, so this reason could not be hidden. Then, the paperweight was going to be sent to the Emperor, ordered by the Empress Dowager.

The reason why the Empress Dowager did not ask a little eunuch to send it was because King Ning, Feng Yuzhen had made such a suggestion. This made it seem more casual between he and Qin Yufeng, making the two of them close. Although Qin Yufeng had not gotten any official position yet, judging from the Emperor’s high regard for him, one could tell that he would have a promising future. No matter who it was, these princes all felt that it was a good thing to build a relations.h.i.+p with him first.

It was indeed a sign of their close relations.h.i.+p for him to ask Qin Yufeng to send the golden dragon paperweight to the Emperor for the Empress Dowager.

The road where she and Feng Yuxuan were earlier was not the way to Emperor Zongwen’s Qianqing Palace from the Empress Dowager’s palace. It meant that Qin Yufeng had gone there intentionally. It was when Feng Yuxuan had pulled her. Qin Yufeng had come from behind Feng Yuxuan when Mo Xuetong was standing by the side of the road and was not blocked by Feng Yuxuan. That was to say, Qin Yufeng should have been able to clearly see Feng Yuxuan try to pull her from where he was.

But he didn’t say a word about it, which only indicated that he had seen it all, and kept it in mind even though he didn’t show it on his face.

In her second life, Qin Yufeng often gave Mo Xuetong a feeling that she could not see through him. In the past, even though she was clear that Qin Yufeng was on Feng Yuxuan’s side and that he was giving Feng Yuxuan private advice, Mo Xuetong still felt that he was shrouded in a layer of fog. He, who had always been in the fog, had always been partly hidden and partly visible.

Just like this time, he should have done it for Feng Yuxuan as well. Even though it would not end well for Mo Xuetong if someone said that she had something to do with Feng Yuxuan, Feng Yuxuan himself would also give others a handle, and might anger Emperor Zongwen. Then he was probably unable to bear the consequences. Was that the reason why Qin Yufeng had intentionally come over and helped them out of the predicament?

Mo Xuetong could not figure it out. She felt that there were other meanings behind his behavior. Qin Yufeng was too hard to understand!

Even though Mo Xuetong could not figure it out for the moment, she did not think too much about it. In this life, Mo Xuetong always felt that Qin Yufeng could not provoke her hostility. Although she was on guard against him, she had a vague feeling that he would not really hurt her. It was a strange feeling. Sometimes, Mo Xuetong also doubted it, but this feeling always came to her heart inadvertently.

Just like now, now that she could not understand, she did not want to think about it anymore. She might as well discuss it with Feng Yuran and listen to his ideas.

The Empress Dowager’s Cining Palace was ahead. Mo Xuetong gathered her thoughts, lifted her pale face and walked ahead. The situation in the harem had changed drastically. Consort Yu, who had been used as the last chess piece, was useless, and the male fetus who had taken shape had died as well. It had disrupted the Empress Dowager and Feng Yuzhen’s plans and forced Feng Yuzhen to b.u.t.ter up to Princess Caifeng. It was rare for Feng Yuzhen to enter the palace. The Empress Dowager had to discuss matters with King Ning and was not in the mood to pay attention to Mo Xuetong.

As expected, the eunuch led Mo Xuetong into the main hall. The Empress Dowager only asked about her health and then asked her to go back as she was weak. The old woman looked completely listless and seemed to have suddenly aged. It had only been a few days since they last met, but she seemed to have aged a few years. It seemed that Consort Yu’s incident had dealt a great blow to the Empress Dowager and King Ning.

Maybe King Ning was going to mess up!
