NFBE Chapter 275: Destitute Mo Han
Chapter 275: Destitute Mo Han
After leaving Yongning Palace,
Feng Zhaoyun walked towards the side hall of the Yangxin Palace where he lived with a bad look on his face.
The Empress happened to be in the garden. Seeing the Princess aggressively entering the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, she was puzzled. "What happened to her?"
At this time, Zhou Fuhai looked at the people around him. A young eunuch beside him immediately understood and withdrew. Zhou Fuhai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Sit down and have a cup of tea first."
The empress nodded.
Soon, the young eunuch who had just left came back and talked to Zhou Fuhai for a long time. Zhou Fuhai couldn't help laughing, which alarmed the empress.
The empress looked at him coldly, which frightened him. Zhou Fuhai lowered his head in panic, and then ordered the people around him to go back.
Walking up to the Empress, he said, "Your Majesty, the Princess Royal just went to Yongning Palace and seemed to invite His Royal Highness Prince Shang to go out for a walk, but was rejected. Then... she even teased His Royal Highness Prince Shang in public. His Royal Highness Prince Shang was so ashamed and angry that he refused to go. His Royal Highness Princess Royal was a little angry and has now returned to the side hall."
After hearing this, the empress couldn't help laughing and almost spilled the tea in her hand. "Okay, okay, I knew it. Shang'er is still suitable to be the Crown Princess. But don't spoil her too much!"
Zhou Fuhai smiled beside him, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. The person he chooses will definitely not be wrong."
The Empress put down her teacup. "She must have gone to such great lengths to find Bai Mohan in the suburbs of Beijing. There's been a lot of chaos in the suburbs these days. If he's been killed by bandits or other bad guys, it's none of my business."
Zhou Fuhai understood and bowed before retreating, "Yes, I understand."
............
In the suburbs of Beijing, there are a few ordinary houses in the home of an ordinary farmer. The family seems harmonious. The young couple is working in the yard. The scene is very warm.
But there is actually a mystery hidden inside.
A huge darkroom was built in the basement of the house, which was beautifully decorated and was no less beautiful than those in wealthy families' homes.
Feng Yaoxue sat at the top. Beside her sat a woman with striking features, but she was missing an ear. This person was none other than Zhuo Yueli, the daughter of the Western Region royal family.
The resources of the Western Regions were left to him by his ninth sister Feng Yaoyu. The Ninth Princess once colluded with the royal family of the Western Regions and almost killed Feng Zhaoyun at the border of Yan State.
Now that the Ninth Princess has been executed by Feng Zhaoyun, this connection naturally belongs to me.
The maidservant beside Feng Yaoxue said, "Your Highness Zhuo, my prince has promised that if this is accomplished, he will give you two cities in the west and will help you ascend to the throne in the future!"
Zhuo Yueli smiled sinisterly, his smile was extremely arrogant, "This Feng Zhaoyun, back in Yan State, pretended to be stupid and shot me in the ear, causing me to lose the chance to be crown prince. I will make her pay for it!"
Seeing her fierce expression when she mentioned Feng Zhaoyun, Feng Yaoxue felt relieved. It seemed that Feng Zhaoyun had offended many people, and so many people wanted her dead. This time, she must rely on the power of the Western Region royal family to get rid of Feng Zhaoyun in one fell swoop!
Both she and Zhuo Yueli were left with physical defects because of her, and had no chance of becoming emperor. Now people were talking about them in private. If she succeeded this time, she would definitely let her have a taste of what it was like.
At this moment, the people around Feng Yaoxue appeared and knelt down, "Your Highness, Bai Mohan has been sent to the royal villa outside the capital."
Feng Yaoxue's eyes widened in disbelief, and she suddenly grabbed the side of the armchair.
The guard looked up, seeing her agitated expression, and added, "The Empress sent someone to bring it. Her Highness, the Crown Princess, was not with her, nor was the Bai family with her."
After hearing this, Feng Yaoxue's mouth opened into a very creepy smile. Her tongue was cut, so she couldn't laugh out loud, and her smile was truly terrifying.
Zhuo Yueli looked at her madness and sneered, "I heard that you were injured by him. This king has a grudge. I have been fond of Bai Mohan since I was in Yan State. How about you cut off his tongue and give it to me?"
Feng Yaoxue glanced sideways, looking coldly at Zhuo Yueli. Was this woman crazy? She actually liked Bai Mohan, a sickly pervert?
She withdrew her eyes and nodded, which meant she agreed.
Seeing her agree, Zhuo Yueli's face became even more excited. He waved his hand and called his subordinates, "Give the order and send a team to help the Third Prince."
Western Region Guards, "Yes!"
..........
Bai Mohan was still unconscious when he was sent to the royal villa.
He was seriously injured this time. He didn't expect that Nangong Shang would commit a crime in the Shang Kingdom Palace, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess did not come to rescue him because of Xiao Qingyue. This time he was seriously injured.
Taking advantage of Bai Mohan's serious injury, Bai Jinzhi privately dealt with many of his secret guards and replaced them with his own people by his side. It was really time for his younger brother to teach him a lesson.
The door to the Royal Courtyard was knocked open. A eunuch in charge saw the visitor and quickly saluted. "I wonder if your Highness the Crown Princess has any instructions?"
The guard beside Feng Zhaoyun put away the token in his hand, "Her Royal Highness has ordered that all arrangements for Bai Concubine must be made according to the standards of the Crown Princess. I am here to deliver something to Concubine Bai. Please move aside."
The eunuch in charge rolled his eyes, bowed politely and said, "The Royal Courtyard, His Majesty has issued an order to seal it off. No one is allowed to enter without permission, especially the people of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please, sir, just give the things to this old servant."
The two guards exchanged a glance and signaled the person behind them to hand the item to him. "You must give it to the side lord. If my prince finds out about what you've done, I'll kill you!"
The eunuch in charge quickly sent someone to take the things and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, please rest assured, Your Highness. This old servant will take good care of you, my Lord."
After the people around Feng Zhaoyun left, the door closed and the eunuch supervisor looked at these things. They were all top-quality medicinal herbs and clothes, including ingredients for body conditioning.
The princess really dotes on this concubine. What a pity, the current concubine doesn't need these good things.
This place has been surrounded by His Majesty's men. The order from above is that no medicine is allowed to be used, regardless of whether he lives or dies.
The eunuch in charge said, "Since it is your highness's kindness, please send it to my room and keep it for the concubine temporarily."
At this time, not far away, several people close to Bai Mohan happened to see this scene. They walked out and were about to question why the things sent by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess were withheld.
But several guards came out from nowhere.
The eunuch in charge laughed, "You overestimate your abilities! Do you really think you're the princess' concubine? Get the hell out of here!"
Bai Mohan's men saw that the other side had a large number of people and their martial arts were not low. Now there were only a few of them around His Highness, and His Highness had not yet woken up, so they could not act rashly.
The few of them had no choice but to accept the loss.
Three days later,
Bai Mohan just woke up...
His lips were pale. He hadn't taken any medicine in the past few days and had only relied on his own strength to get through it.
The guards beside him saw that he had woken up and hurried forward, "Your Highness, you are awake!"
Bai Mohan looked at the surrounding environment. The environment here was simple. The table placed not far from the bed had some paint peeling off. This place was not even as good as the place where his guards lived. It was very perfunctory.
He supported his chest and stood up, half leaning on the bed, "My lord, where is this?"
Guard One said, "Your Highness, you have been imprisoned in the Royal Villa for three days by order of the Queen of Shang."
Bai Mohan was stunned. "If it's a royal villa, why is it so shabby?"
The two guards looked at each other in embarrassment. The second guard said, "Your Highness, the people here are very powerful, and there are guards guarding in the dark. It's all my fault for being incompetent..."
Bai Mohan forced a smile. He finally understood that this was the Empress's intention. She wanted him dead.
He sighed, "Your Highness, do you know about this?"
Guard One: "My Lord, the Princess knows about this, but with the wedding of Her Highness and Nangong Shang imminent, I'm afraid...she has already forgotten us."
Bai Mohan was furious and was about to lose his temper, but his breathing was unstable. He covered his chest and coughed violently a few times.
After a while, "Forget it, help me up and serve me the meal."
Two guards rushed forward and helped him up. Bai Mohan had been lying in bed for three days, and he looked even thinner. His thin legs could barely stand. He looked very weak.
He sat down at the table, and soon a guard came in with a meal: stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried carrots, scallion soup, and a bowl of rice.
Bai Mohan looked at the meal in front of him and frowned, "What is this!"
The two guards knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the eunuch in charge here has been skimping on food, not to mention medicine. Just now, when I went to collect the food, I received a lot of gossip from them."
Bai Mohan clenched his fingers into fists, until his knuckles turned white, but he loosened them powerlessly...
He looked at the kneeling guard and said, "Tell someone to go out and get some food and medicine."
The second guard lowered his head and said, "Since you fell into a coma, Your Highness, there has been no news from the secret guards around you. Now, there are only the two of us left."
Bai Mohan was shocked, "Who did this?"
The guard said, "I don't know."
Now, besides the Empress and Nangong Shang, the ones who want him dead are probably his own brother as well. It must be one of them who is responsible.
Bai Mohan sighed, what a bunch of losers! He hadn't eaten for several days and felt weak all over. Without any medicine to support him, he had to endure every night of the past three days by himself.
He picked up the chopsticks and started eating no matter how bad the meal was. Now he had to get his body in good shape so that he could go out and kill them!
