Chapter 580 Second Consort Mo’s Invitation

After a long while, the Sixth Princess put down Mo Xuetong’s wrist and put on a look of slight apology on her face. “Eighth Sister-in-law, I... didn’t find anything. I just feel that you’re a little weak. Other than that, I didn’t find anything else!”

She meant that she was not good at medicine. No one demanded a princess’s level of medical skill. It was not a big deal whether she was good at it or not. Especially in such a situation, she still reached out to examine Mo Xuetong. The Sixth Princess was more respected. It seemed that she was a really kind person.

Mo Xuetong retracted her wrist as if she did not care. With a smile playing on her lips, she said sincerely, “You’re too polite, Sixth Princess. Thank you for seeing me. His Highness has to thank you heavily later.”

It sounded as if the Sixth Princess had come specially to examine Consort Xuan. Then some people thought that maybe the Sixth Princess was a medical expert as Consort Xuan had immediately reached out to accept her examine and refused the other imperial physicians in the hall as soon as she arrived. Someone could not help but remember that Bai Yihao, the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, used to be close to the Sixth Princess when he was in the palace. They wondered if the Sixth Princess had learned medical skills from Sir Bai.

The conjecture seemed reasonable. Although all the imperial physicians of the Imperial Institute of Medicine had brilliant medical skills, they obviously could not compare to Sir Bai. He was the one who could bring a patient back to life. One could tell that through the fact that when Empress Dowager was ill, those imperial physicians could do nothing about it and only Sir Bai could treat her. If the Sixth Princess really learned medical skills from Sir Bai, she should be good at it.

However, when these people thought about it, they felt that there was something wrong. It was no longer a secret that the Fifth Princess liked Sir Bai back then. She had chased after Sir Bai all day and did not even care about her reputation as a girl. Fortunately, she was the Emperor’s daughter and did not worry about her marriage. As such, no one blamed the Empress or the Emperor for this. But no matter what, everyone thought that the Fifth Princess had lost the decency of a woman while the Sixth Young Master was the model of a woman.

However, if the Sixth Princess was truly learned medicine from Sir Bai, then it would be arguable!

As soon as Sir Bai entered the palace, the Fifth Princess followed him. When did the Sixth Princess learn such excellent medical skills? Everyone in the palace didn’t know about it. Did it mean that Sir Bai had taught her medical skills secretly? If so, was it a private connection?

Everyone’s eyes were full of suspicion. Although some of them still talked to each other, they all pricked up their ears, hoping to get the latest news. This would be the most sensational news. When the Fifth Princess chased after Sir Bai, Sir Bai sneaked into the palace to teach the Sixth Princess, or the Sixth Princess secretly went out of the palace to learn medicine from him.

And it was obvious that the Fifth Princess didn’t know about these things. Otherwise, with her overbearing personality, she would definitely interfere with the Sixth Princess!

Now that she was able to keep it from the Fifth Princess and the Empress in the palace, the Sixth Princess and Imperial Noble Consort Wen seemed to have to be reckoned with...

If you dug into these questions one by one, you would find it kind of weird, and there were more and more things involved.

The Sixth Princess seemed to have sensed this as well and her face froze slightly. However, she then smiled gently and shyly and answered, “Eighth Sister-in-law, you must be joking. I can just make prescriptions to treat headaches and fever. I just have read a few prescriptions at the Imperial Institute of Medicine. Prolonged illness makes a doctor of a patient. I used to be in poor health, and gradually I could make a few prescriptions myself. Since you’re my Eighth Sister-in-law, even if I were wrong, you wouldn’t blame me, would you?”

“I can’t thank you enough, Sixth Princess. How could I blame you? Sixth Princess, when you’re free in the future, come to King Xuan’s Manor to chat with me.” As if she did not understand what the Sixth Princess had said, Mo Xuetong invited her enthusiastically.

“Alright, I will definitely come to bother you then, Eighth Sister-in-law!” Sixth Princess agreed readily, and there was even a joyful smile on her face. It was obvious that the two of them were congenial.

Mo Yarui’s expression relaxed. She had felt that something was wrong between the two earlier, but she could not tell what it was. She was even afraid that something was really wrong with the two of them, and if something were to happen, it would be troublesome. She was representing the back yard of King Chu’s Manor today, and if anything were to happen between Mo Xuetong and the Sixth Princess, King Chu would definitely be unhappy.

Now, when she saw that the two of them were talking smilingly and looking intimate, she thought that she had thought too much. How could there be something wrong between them? Both of them had very good characters. Even if they did not like each other, they would not make a fuss like Consort Chu, who not only made people angry, but also made others feel that she was not decent.

Sure enough, when she had just finished thinking, Consort Chu grew unhappy again. “Second Consort Mo, has the banquet start? How’s everything going inside? Make sure to avoid some unpleasant things; otherwise His Highness’ banquet has to be delayed. Do you want to go out and have a look?”

Mo Yarui sighed secretly as she put on a smile on her face. “My Lady, I’ve already checked. There shouldn’t be anything wrong. The banquet will start once His Highness sends his orders. My Lady, please don’t worry.”

“You have never held such a big banquet before. It is better to check it more carefully. If I had not been in poor health recently, I would have done it myself.” Ling Rui’er’s expression looked not bad, and there was even a rare hint of a smile on her face. However, the implications in her words were too much that others could not compliment her.

What did she mean by saying that she was in poor health? Even though people were not allowed to spread the matter in the palace, many people knew what had happened. Everyone knew that Consort Chu was not really ill but had been locked up by King Chu. She was not even allowed to hold King Chu’s banquet, but she was still trying to save her face.

“Yes, I will go and take a look.” Now that Ling Rui’er said that, if Mo Yarui did not go and take a look, it would seem a little cheesy. She then went out with her maidservant Mei Yu to check if it was really prepared. Actually, she did not have much confidence. She used to help her mother manage the household affairs when she was at home. However, how could the Assistant Minister’s Manor compare to King Chu’s Manor?

After having chatted for a while with the Sixth Princess, Mo Xuetong brought Mo Lan and Mo Ye out to walk around the garden. It was still early for banquet and most of the madams and ladies only sat for a while before they brought their maidservants out to walk around the garden. The garden in King Xuan’s Manor was one of the most famous landscapes in the capital. It was said that it was built with the expertise of different craftsmen and took a lot of effort in the past.

This was Mo Xuetong’s first visit here, and she naturally wanted to take a look. Furthermore, it was really uncomfortable to see Ling Rui’er sitting there and stating some harsh words from time to time.

Luo Mingzhu did not come today. She claimed that she was still ill and afraid of spreading the disease to others, so she only sent gifts here. Mo Xuetong’s eyes darkened as she heard it. She sighed in her heart and did not ask anything else.

She only hoped that Luo Mingzhu would be able to straighten her thinking as soon as possible. The past was a mess and she didn’t know what had happened. If Luo Mingzhu could stand on her side, the two of them could investigate together and would definitely find out more about it. As for whether her second uncle had a crush on her mother, Mo Xuetong did not care. Actually, her second uncle and her mother were not related by blood. So what if her second uncle had a crush on her mother when he knew about it?

Furthermore, nothing had happened between her mother and second uncle. When her mother was still alive, Mo Xuetong could easily see the happiness in her eyes every time she saw her father. Therefore, her mother loved her father, and her second uncle had been watching her politely and never disturbed her mother’s life.

Mo Xuetong did not find such admiration intolerable!

However, if Luo Mingzhu was on Madam Qu’s side, she would feel unbearable. Madam Qu was wholeheartedly taking care of her husband, but there was another woman in his heart. Even if this woman was his younger sister, she could not stand it.

But that was a long time ago, and Mo Xuetong’s mother had passed away. No matter what had happened, what could they do?

Mo Xuetong just hoped that Luo Mingzhu could see it more clearly.

“Consort Xuan? Our Second Consort wants you to come over. She has something to tell you!” A clever little maidservant came over from behind a rockery. It was a very quiet place, and Mo Xuetong strolled around for a while and did not see anyone. The tree shadows were slanted, water was flowing from the rockery, and the wind was blowing. Reaching here, Mo Xuetong did not want to leave and decided to sit down beside.

“Who is your Second Consort?” Mo Ye took a quick step forward and stood between the little maidservant and Mo Xuetong. There were other second consorts who had come today, so who knew who she was referring to.

“I was sent by Second Consort Mo. Just now, she remembered something and wanted to ask Consort Xuan about it!” the little maidservant replied with a smile.

Mo Yarui had something to ask Mo Xuetong about? Mo Xuetong paused and then said with a smile, “Since Second Consort Mo has something to ask me, let her come here.”

Mo Xuetong was Consort Xuan, but Mo Yarui was just a second consort even though she was the hostess here. It was by no means reasonable for Mo Yarui to order a maidservant to ask Mo Xuetong to come to her when she wanted to ask her about something.

“It’s...” The maidservant was in an embarrassing situation.

“Go and ask Second Consort Mo to come over. I won’t leave here anyway. She can ask me when she comes.” Mo Xuetong waved her hand and sat down on a chair beside her.

“My Lady, can you ask this elder sister to go with me and tell Second Consort Mo about it? I’m afraid that our Second Consort will think that I don’t know how to do things and offend you, so you refuse to go there.” The maidservant pointed at Mo Lan timidly.

Mo Xuetong frowned and became unhappy.

The maidservant knelt down hurriedly. “My Lady, please forgive me for my rudeness. I, I am afraid that passing the message in this way will delay Second Consort Mo’s business.” Then, she kowtowed heavily to Mo Xuetong twice. Not far away, several madams looked at them and frowned, not knowing what was going on.

“Mo Lan, go with her and take a look. Remember to explain it clearly to Second Consort Mo.” Mo Xuetong thought about it and waved her hand with an indifferent expression. She smiled and nodded at Mo Lan. Mo Lan’s lips curved into a cold smile and she nodded her head understandingly.

“Thank you, My Lady. Thank you, My Lady!” the maidservant thanked her profusely and then stood up. She and Mo Lan, who was standing beside her, walked towards Mo Yarui’s yard.

Mo Xuetong and Mo Ye were still resting under the trees, waiting for Mo Yarui to come over.
