Chapter 454 - The Fight Between the Wife and the Concubine Outside King Chus Manor (1/2)

“My Lady, are you really going to Puguang Temple?” Mo Yu asked with concern having realized that something was amiss.

“I am, of course I am. How will I find out who is plotting against me if I don’t go? What is King Yan planning? Is he trying to deal with His Highness through me?” Mo Xuetong picked up the teacup by her hand. Her voice was soft and she sounded as if she was talking to herself. The smile on her lips grew cold.

There was something she was very sure of. No matter who the man was, he definitely had something to do with King Yan. King Yan’s Manor was locked up and there were only that many people who can enter King Yan’s Manor. Mo Xueqiong was locked up inside of it and she could not see anyone she wanted. The only people she could see were those King Yan trusted.

As such, Mo Xuetong already had a vague idea of who the man was. He was so stubborn he was getting irritating.

She really did not understand what she did to him. In her past life, there were many entangled threads between them. However, there was no direct connection between the two of them. However, why was he so insistent on sticking to her in this life? He was like a stubborn piece of gum under her shoes she could not rip off.

However, the problem was that she had stepped on this piece of gum before, but she and that man really didn’t have anything in common.

“My Lady, you must bring Mo Ye and Mo Feng with you when you go. You also have to get His Highness to send you with a few more guards. Otherwise, I’ll be really worried.” Said Mo Lan even though she knew that Mo Xuetong had her own plans.

Mo Xuetong did not object this time. She said, “Mo Lan, go ask Feng Yue for a few men and tell him that I need them for tomorrow. Then, get him to prepare a horse carriage. It doesn’t have to be too big. Just get a regular one for consorts without the emblem of King Xuan’s Manor. We will go to pray at Puguang Temple tomorrow too.”Visit website ReadNovelFull.com

Since Mo Xueqiong had pleaded and begged her to go, she had to prepare well.

“Yes, then shall we tell His Highness about this?” Mo Lan asked hesitantly when she reached the door.

“There’s no need. His Highness is busy with the repairs in the palace recently. The minister keeps looking for him at all times. Let’s not worry him. Anyway, I have plans for tomorrow. Nothing will happen.” Mo Xuetong knew that Feng Yuran would find out about it. However, she still chose not to say anything. Anyway, this was no big deal. He would trust that she would be able to deal with it.

The palace was no longer the same. In the past, the Emperor had treated Feng Yuran very well. It seemed that he had acknowledged that Feng Yuran would succeed him. However, he now had Consort Zhao. It was said that Consort Zhao, who closely resembled Consort Xian was very much doted on. This had not changed over the decades. Who knew what Emperor Zongwen was planning?

Consort Zhao, who was up to something, might create trouble. Even though Feng Yuran was a cynical and sly man and had servants he could trust in the palace, he had to put in some effort to deal with Consort Zhao, who was in power right now. Furthermore, the other princes were all waiting predatorily and all had malicious intentions. Feng Yuran had to be careful with each and every step he took.

She should settle the troubles that had arisen because of her at a time like this lest she should trouble Feng Yuran.

Since Feng Yuran chose this path, she should help him settle these issues amongst women without holding back at all. The man should work outside while the woman should handle matters at home. She knew that he would not hesitate to protect her. However, how could she just watch as he worked hard alone? They were husband and wife and it was important that they shared the same goals and worked together!

And right now, it was time to deal with Mo Xueqiong!

If she did not deal with Mo Xueqiong, Mo Xueqiong might lead to greater troubles down the road. Even though Mo Xueqiong had married into King Yan’s Manor, the blood that flowed in her veins could not be changed. There was their father as well. Even though their father did not like Mo Xueqiong right now, in the end, would their father be able to steel his heart and deal with her? What if he couldn’t? Given Mo Xueqiong’s character, Mo Xuetong did not know when she would do something to hurt others again. As such, she might as well get rid of her before the trouble started.

The procession from King Yan’s Manor to Puguang Temple set off very early. It was a very hot day but the road to the temple was cool in the morning. Mo Xueqiong was woken up by Mo Yan and she cleaned up in a hurry. She put on a light green dress and wore a veil before going to the side entrance.

She had always hated such colors. When she lived in Mo Manor, she used to love dressing up in bright and eye-catching colors. However, she did not have the right to choose her own clothing now and did not have the ability to make brightly-colored clothes for herself. When she married into the King’s Manor, she had been brought in by a small sedan chair. She had nothing else but the clothes on her.

After that, Mo Huawen had sent two maids over but did not give her any money or things. He only told Mo Yan to tell her that she had best behave herself and that she was on her own.

Auntie Qing had gotten the two maids to bring some of her secret savings to Mo Xueqiong. However, they were in the King’s Manor where everyone was haughty and proud. How many servants could Mo Xueqiong bribe with the savings of an insignificant concubine? She did not have any savings left at all after a while.

Feng Yulei did not like her at all. Her existence was a reminder to him of his failed plots. His total ruin this time had not done anything to Mo Xuetong and had even gotten himself into trouble. Emperor Zongwen had imprisoned him in his own manor and still had not told him when he could leave.

This humiliation made Feng Yulei hate Mo Xueqiong to the extreme. He placed the blame for his failure onto Mo Xueqiong subconsciously. If not for her inability, would things come to this?

As such, it was impossible for Mo Xueqiong to have his affections even if her face was not disfigured !

You Yue’e was an extremely jealous person. The moment she married into the King’s Manor, she shut Mo Xueqiong and w.a.n.g Xiuxiu in the corner and usually ignored them.

Mo Xueqiong was disliked by the master and mistress of the manor. Coupled with the injuries on her face, it was impossible for her to gain the affections of the King. After she used up her money, none of the servants treated her well anymore. Mo Xueqiong’s days in King Yan’s Manor were very depressing. There was once when she was pushed onto the ground by a bed maid. She had gone to cry and complain to Feng Yulei. It was raining heavily outside and she had knelt in the rain. However, Feng Yulei did not even come to take a look at her.

He had gotten the guards to drag her out and toss her to the side. He did not care at all whether she lived or died.

She had given up on Feng Yulei completely!

“Oh, isn’t that Second Consort Mo? Why is she here?” The people at the side entrance saw Mo Xueqiong approaching and they all pointed at her and gossiped amongst themselves.
