The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 150 Afraid of being suffocated

Mo Yuchen ignored Liu Zhao's cry of injustice and turned to the seven or eight concubines behind her and said, "Don't think that this king doesn't know. The reason you are willing to testify for Concubine Liu is because she has been trying to win you over and instigated your Third Miss to marry into the family, which is why you are loyal to her and try your best to get her into my favor, thinking that raising her to be a concubine will protect you."

"But I have said that I will not promote anyone to be a concubine, let alone make any concubine my first wife! All your efforts are in vain!"

"Since you all cannot distinguish between good and evil, have evil intentions, and are still messing with my backyard, I think you should all be sent back to your respective residences. Please teach them carefully, and you don't have to stay in Luowang Mansion!"

"He Yuan, Lin Yue, the two of you should personally lead people to send the young ladies back."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me!" No matter how those young ladies resisted and how unwilling they were, they could not change their fate of being sent away.

Only then did Liu Zhao really believe that Mo Yuchen was not joking. She was so scared that tears streamed down her face. She knelt down and crawled towards Mo Yuchen, begging for mercy in panic, trying to make Mo Yuchen soften his heart: "Your Highness, I don't have that kind of thought, really not!"

Mo Yuchen frowned. Seeing this, Yizhu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhao, preventing her from getting close to Mo Yuchen.

"Your Highness, I didn't realize two days ago that Madam Liu had secretly hidden a piece of brocade." He Rong added the final word at the right time.

"I didn't!" Liu Zhao screamed loudly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, struggling to pounce on He Rong, "You little bitch, it's you who slandered me! It's all your fault! It's you! It's you who wanted to become a concubine! It's you who teamed up with them to frame me!"

"Your Highness, you only need to send someone to search Madam Liu's residence, and you will know whether Madam Liu has secretly hidden Tuanjin."

"Liu Zhao, I have never given any of my concubines a brocade, and Concubine He is so sure that there is a brocade in your room. If I find it out, I will have to send you to the Dali Temple for trial." Mo Yuchen's expression did not change at all, and his cold tone did not fluctuate at all.

"I, I..." If she did not admit it, His Highness would definitely send her to the Dali Temple; if she admitted it, His Highness would no longer keep her in Prince Luo's Mansion.

"Your Highness, the third lady is here and is waiting in front of the mansion." He Yuan, who was escorting several concubines away, ran into Xia Yanxiang's carriage as soon as he left the mansion. After handing the person over to Chang Linyue, he turned back to report.

Mo Yuchen and Xia Zhibai's faces relaxed immediately, and Mo Yuchen's voice softened, "Why are you waiting outside the house? If she wants to come, she can just come directly. Is there anyone who dares to stop her?"

"...Miss Third said that she was here to pick up General Pu Wei." No matter how cold He Yuan was, he couldn't help but break Mo Yuchen's fantasy.

"..." Why is Yanyan like this? "Since you are here, why not invite Miss San in for some tea."

Xia Zhibai glared at Mo Yuchen. Did he want Yan'er to take care of it for him?

"Yes." After answering, He Yuan went out to greet people.

After being interrupted for a while, Mo Yuchen regained his indifferent expression and continued to question Liu Zhao: "Liu Zhao, did you steal the group brocade? If you don't tell the truth, I will send someone to investigate immediately."

"I, I..." Liu Zhao stammered and couldn't say anything.

Mo Yuchen lost his patience and immediately ordered, "Come here, search Aunt Liu's yard. Cao Ju, you go and keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

Liu Zhao collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. Everyone was confused, especially the concubines behind He Rong. They were often bullied by Liu Zhao on weekdays. Today she finally got caught and they felt so happy.

Xia Zhibai looked at all this coldly and drank a sip of tea slowly, but he felt that the tea in Prince Luo's Mansion was just so-so. Ever since he drank Yan'er's tea, he felt that other teas were bland and boring.

After a while, He Yuan and Xia Yanxiang arrived first, followed by Yu Kui and An Zhi.

"Your Highness, the Third Miss has arrived."

"Yan Yan!" Mo Yuchen's expression immediately relaxed. He stood up and walked forward a few steps, but was glared at by Xia Zhibai and stopped in his tracks.

Xia Yanxiang was wearing a light blue long dress with a front opening today. She stopped at the door and said, "I'm here to take my brother back home."

"Don't worry. Prince Luo's Mansion has added a few new tea dishes. The prince has invited the general to dine with him. Yanyan should come too!" Mo Yuchen's eyes were slightly excited. Regardless of Xia Zhibai's murderous look, he walked over and held her hand. "It just so happens that we can settle this matter together."

Xia Yanxiang still stood there without moving, and said hesitantly: "I will not go in. It would be bad if I fainted later."

Everyone was shocked. How could she faint? Could it be that the Third Miss fainted just like that?

Mo Yuchen's face froze. Just as he was about to ask her if she was feeling unwell, Xia Yanxiang slowly added, "Fainted from the fumes."

"..."

Xia Zhixiang also stood up at this time, shook his robe, and bowed to Mo Yuchen and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Since my sister came to pick me up in person, and my wife and children are waiting for me at home, I will not stay any longer."

Mo Yuchen didn't want to let Xia Yanxiang leave. Now that she had moved to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he hadn't figured out the guards' movements yet and didn't dare to sneak in. He hadn't seen Yanyan for several days.

Mo Yuchen couldn't stop Xia Zhibai, so he could only squeeze Xia Yanxiang's hand and ask her for help.

"Brother, His Highness has not given me something yet. Why don't you wait a while?" Xia Yanxiang said.

Xia Zhibai was so angry that his head hurt.

Mo Yuchen turned around and winked at Mo Yuxuan, who immediately came over to persuade Xia Zhibai: "General, don't be anxious! You were present when my second brother dealt with these concubines today, so it won't be too late for you to at least bear witness before leaving! Besides, it's still early now, and the general's wife might still be shopping with your daughter and hasn't returned home yet! How can I let you go back and sit there?"

Xia Zhibai glared at Mo Xuanxuan again. This guy is not a good person either!

These two brothers have been thinking about kidnapping his two sisters all day long, they deserve to be beaten!

However, Xia Zhibai gritted his teeth and stayed: "In this case, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

But Xia Yanxiang didn't want to go in. She stood outside the door and felt dizzy because of the smell of powder.

Hmm, it seems having too good a sense of smell isn’t such a good thing!

Mo Yuchen took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to Xia Yanxiang: "White orchid powder should be able to resist for a while."

Xia Yanxiang thought the purse looked familiar, so she took it. Without even picking it up, a fresh and clean scent of white orchid entered her nose, instantly alleviating the pungent smell of powder.

Mo Yuchen kept staring at Xia Yanxiang's face, and only said after seeing that Yanyan was feeling better, "Let's go!"

After entering the main hall, Mo Yuxuan subconsciously called out, "Third sister... Third Miss, are you feeling better?"

Xia Zhibai and Xia Yanxiang glared at him at the same time. Xia Yanxiang said coldly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."

Mo Xuanxuan felt a chill on his back, shut up and continued to be invisible.
