Chapter 632 - Princess Caifengs Mind (1/2)
“Mo Ye, what did you find over there?”
Mo Ye lowered her voice and answered, “When I went to the Sixth Princess’ palace, I didn’t go in directly from the front door. It seemed that the palace was heavily guarded. Any person who entered the Sixth Princess’ palace has to be inquired clearly. I saw that a palace maid of Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen was coming from her mistress’ palace, and entered the Sixth Princess’, accompanied by palace maids.”
After she wore the palace maid’s clothes, she realized that she could not enter that place at all. She did not expect that the Sixth Princess, who was gentle and even weak in usual days, would guard her palace so tightly. It was really suspicious. Finding that she could not get in from the front door, she turned to the back hall, where was outside the back door.
As the front door was tightly guarded, she became more vigilant when she was about to go through the back door. She deliberately stopped on a tree outside the wall. After observing for a long while, she found that it was not so easy to enter. There were two palace maids capable of performing powerful martial arts inside, and they cruised the backyard from time to time. These two palace maids appeared to be wandering around casually, but in the eyes of a martial artist, they were obviously patrolling.
The two of them happened to appear one after the other. Almost one of them went away as the other came.
The inspection was very close.
“It means that the Sixth Princess has a secret that she doesn’t want others to know. That’s why she ordered people to guard her palace so tightly!” Mo Xuetong lowered her eyes and said after thinking for a while.
“I also think so. Originally, I wanted to sneak into the palace and have a look, but it was too late, so I came back first. Although the two palace maids were equipped with martial arts, they were just better than ordinary people. They should not be the royal secret guards.” At that time, it was really too late. Previously, since she was not familiar with the place, she wasted some time. Later, she had waited for a long time beside the back wall.
They were not the royal secret guards? It meant that the two palace maids who were capable of performing martial arts were chosen by the Sixth Princess herself or Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen? They had secretly sent them to the palace! Since the Sixth Princess was not a prince, what secrets did she have to keep? Furthermore, she had taken two palace maids who were capable of performing martial arts into the palace to protect her palace.
An idea came to her mind and she immediately thought of the scene that she had suspected before. Her slightly lowered eyes looked a little shocked. She thought quickly in her mind. “The Sixth Princess is not simple, and Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen seems even more scheming. But what do they want? Not wanting to marry into a foreign country? After all, if she is going to marry into another country, even a princess might not have a good life.”
But that was not right. This matter would be decided by the Emperor alone and had nothing to do with the palace maids who could practice martial arts.
Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen did not have a son, so she was not involved in the fight for the throne. In the future, no matter who became the next Emperor, she would be the Consort Dowager. It did not matter how high status she had. If the Sixth Princess married close, she could go to her mansion with her. If the Sixth Princess married far away, she could only stay and die in the palace.
If she did not want the Sixth Princess to marry far, she had no choice but to curry favor with the Emperor. It was nothing if she did this! She was just an imperial consort without any sons. Could it be that she was involved in the fight for the throne?
Mo Xuetong was suddenly shocked when she thought of that. A ray of light flashed across her eyes. She remembered that when the Empress mentioned two topics about the Sixth Princess in her palace today, she was all interrupted by Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen. However, Mo Xuetong could still sharply sense that the Sixth Princess seemed to know medical skills. So what if the Sixth Princess knew medical skills? Bai Yihao had once been well-known for his medical skills, so even if the Sixth Princess knew a little about medical skills, she did not have to keep it a secret.
The Sixth Princess seemed to be really mysterious!
She had to pay more attention to her in the future. She would tell Feng Yuran her thoughts later so that he would not ignore Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen. She always felt that Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen, who had a better reputation than the Empress in the palace, was perfect. Such a person almost did not exist. Then, it meant that she was pretending. What was the purpose of her pretending?
She had been pretending for decades, and she must be ambitious!
If she would only give a push during the fight for the throne, even if the new Emperor ascended the throne, would he be able to crown her as the Empress Dowager? The dignified Empress would be the Empress Dowager in the future!
“Mo Ye, go out and tell Mo Feng to investigate Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen’s parents’ family and how she entered the palace!” A look of pondering appeared in Mo Xuetong’s eyes. She had already made up her mind. No matter what Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen wanted, it would not be a small matter. Since she could not figure it out at the moment, she had to steady herself for the time being.
Recently, the situation in the palace had changed drastically, and the princess marriage was upcoming. She did not believe that Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen had no reaction to this matter, which was related to the Sixth Princess’ lifelong happiness. Now that the candidate had not been decided yet. If the Emperor made it clear that he wanted to choose the Sixth Princess to marry into another country, would Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen still be so calm?
“Yes, I will tell Mo Feng right now.” Mo Ye nodded and turned around to leave.
“My Lady, Princess Caifeng invited you over. It’s so annoying. Why can’t she let others live in peace?” Mo Yu flung the curtains angrily and came into the room. She held a plate in one hand, where sat a porcelain teacup. She had gone to make tea for Mo Xuetong earlier, and unexpectedly, she heard the commotion at the entrance of the courtyard the moment she came out.
When she went out to take a look, she saw that it was Princess Caifeng’s personal maid again. She immediately got mad.
However, they were guests, and it was said that they were about to move. Therefore, Mo Yu did not dare to slight them and could only come in to report to Mo Xuetong. Mo Yu already knew what had happened in the Empress’ palace. When she thought that Princess Caifeng had almost harmed Mo Xuetong, she felt that she was filled with hatred on the princess and wanted her to leave King Xuan’s Manor quickly.
“Mo Ye, wait for a moment.” Mo Xuetong stopped Mo Ye, who was standing at the door.
What Princess Caifeng had done in Cining Palace today had made her a little wary. She had known that there was something wrong with the South Pearl necklace in her previous life. However, it was impossible for the Southern Barbarian Lands to give such a “valuable gift” in order to harm her, and their target was at least at the level of the Emperor’s favorite concubine.
In her last life, the necklace had led to a b.l.o.o.d.y crime and had caused many deaths!
But in this life, Princess Caifeng tried to take advantage of it to plot against Mo Xuetong? This was completely overqualified!
