Chapter 152: You Will Be Deceived



Chapter 152: You Will Be Deceived

"Back then, I accepted you into the Luo Palace because, firstly, I was old enough and could not refuse the wishes of the adults; secondly, some of your fathers were in the court and were in my favor; thirdly, I had a weak spot and could not fall into the hands of the other party, so I had to use you as a cover."

"Now that I'm letting you go, it's my little compensation." After saying that, Mo Yuchen looked at their moved expressions again, and then said, "Also, I drugged you, and I can give you the antidote right away."

The two concubines looked at each other, and saw in each other's eyes that they were ready to die. They kowtowed to Mo Yuchen as if they had made up their minds: "We are willing to leave and will not return to our original residence."

Mo Yuchen nodded with satisfaction: "But you can't leave Luo Wangfu on your own. I will send someone to send you back to the palace and then arrange for you to leave."

The two ladies had no objection.

"What about you?" Mo Yuchen turned to the other two aunts who had not spoken.

Both of them were timid. After a while of hesitating, one of them mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, we two have no skills and are timid. Can we just stay in the mansion? I...we will definitely not cause you any trouble!"

Xia Zhibai and Mo Xuanxuan were both a little hesitant. They looked really timid. Both of them were concubines' daughters and had grown up in fear at the hands of their mistresses. Once they left Prince Luo's Mansion, they no longer had any protection.

Mo Yuchen shook his head: "The Luowang Mansion is a place that attracts the wind. It has never been a safe haven. Besides, a woman's life should not depend on a man. No matter how difficult the world is, there is always a way to survive. Let's go. Miss He is going to leave the capital to do business outside. I will send someone to protect you secretly. From now on, the Wang Clan of Langya will be your confidence."

"If you find someone you like outside and are ready to get married, remember to send me a message. I will prepare a dowry for you and support you." These concubines have never caused him any trouble, and they were forced to move into the palace. Mo Yuchen will naturally not be stingy in making some plans for their future life.

The two girls finally nodded with tears in their eyes.

"I will send you back to the palace for causing trouble in the palace. Just put the blame on Liu Zhao and pretend to be remorseful. I will send someone to replace you tonight, and you will no longer be the same from now on."

“As for the medicine, I will give it to you after you change it out tonight.”

"Wen Rui, take them down first and pack your things."

The matter was finally settled, but He Rong bit her lip and continued, "Your Highness, why don't I use the medicine now? When I return home, everyone will just treat me like a piece of stinky mud and won't examine me. This will also give my sisters some peace of mind."

Mo Yuchen thought about it for a while. He hadn't proved himself to Xia Zhibai yet, so he might as well take this opportunity: "Okay, Yizhu, go get the medicine."

"Yes."

"Lin Yue, go to the side room and invite the third lady over." Now that the matter was over, of course Yanyan had to know about the proof.

"yes.*

After a while, Xia Yanxiang arrived first. The smell of powder in the main hall had almost dissipated, and Mo Yuchen sent someone to invite her back.

After coming in, Xia Yanxiang just glanced at the people below the stairs and didn't say anything.

"Yan Yan." Mo Yuchen stood up, walked towards Xia Yanxiang and took her hand.

"You sit with me in the upper seat."

"Your Highness Prince Luo, you haven't married my sister yet. Do you want to avoid suspicion?" Xia Zhibai was unhappy when he saw Mo Yuchen approaching his sister.

"After all, we two have the imperial decree to marry. No matter how much outsiders gossip, it will be useless. Besides, there are no outsiders in this room." Mo Yuchen didn't care about all that. He wished that the whole world knew that Yanyan belonged to him.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yanxiang spoke up instead: "I can just sit where I am now. Overstepping the boundaries is a serious crime."

"..." Mo Yuchen had nothing to say now, so he had to let Xia Yanxiang sit in the original place.

Yizhu brought the medicine quickly.

Mo Yuchen motioned him to give the medicine to He Rong: "Remove the wax seal and swallow it with water. In no more than a quarter of an hour, the official sand will appear."

He Rong controlled her trembling hands, took the medicine, and removed the wax seal. There was a pill in the box. She was a little excited, even a little bit unbelievable, but she still put it in her mouth, drank some water, and swallowed the medicine.

Everyone was looking forward to it, but He Rong herself didn't feel anything.

There was complete silence, and everyone was waiting with bated breath. Only Xia Yanxiang was sipping her tea slowly as if it had nothing to do with her, in stark contrast to everyone else's anticipation and nervousness.

After waiting for a while, He Rong lifted her sleeves and found that toad blood appeared on the inside of her elbow.

He Rong was very excited and immediately kowtowed to Mo Yuchen: "He Rong, thank you for not touching me, Your Highness!"

The four young ladies beside him all breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Mo Yuchen in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not touching me."

After sending these people away, Xia Zhibai finally asked impatiently, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Luo has anything to give to my sister?"

Mo Yuchen and Xia Yanxiang looked at each other and saw confirmation in each other's eyes.

"General, please wait a moment." Mo Yuchen turned around and gave Yizhu a look, indicating that he should bring the things over.

Xia Yanxiang shook her clothes, revealing the jade pendant around her waist.

A cold look immediately fell on Xia Yanxiang.

"This is what I want to give to Yanyan." What Mo Yuchen prepared was actually a dressing box.

"..." Xia Zhibai and Mo Xuanxuan were speechless.

This... Why does King Luo seem so sentimental? The two families are just cooperating, but have they gone to this extent?

Or...was everything planned by Prince Luo?! He had planned to marry Yan'er from the beginning?!

As soon as Xia Zhibai's idea came to his mind, he almost couldn't help but ask out loud, but fortunately he held back.

No, King Luo is a very scheming person. He was able to hide the secret from the world for so long. He is definitely not an affectionate person.

Not to mention Xia Zhibai, even Mo Xuanxuan was shocked.

Second brother, has he been possessed by another spirit?

Shouldn't I have a good talk with my mother about this? !

"..." Xia Yanxiang suddenly remembered that Mo Yuchen had said that her lip balm looked good.

However, Xia Yanxiang was not very shocked. After all, everyone loves beauty.

But Xia Yanxiang felt that it would be extremely embarrassing to accept this thing, so she hesitated for a while and was about to refuse.

Before Xia Yanxiang could speak, Xia Zhibai spoke first: "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Luo on behalf of my sister."

“!” What is my uncle doing?

Xia Zhibai felt that Mo Fuchen must be trying to gain Yan'er's trust. Yan'er must not fall into Mo Fuchen's gentleness, otherwise Yan'er would definitely be deceived by Mo Fuchen.
