Chapter 312 Last-Minute Solution
The matter concerning Princess Yu'an...

The most satisfying one has to be the ink pattern.

The news of Princess Yu'an's embarrassment during the grand martial arts competition must have reached the Xu family's inner quarters as well.

However, the Xu family only mentioned it briefly, shook their heads, and did not discuss it further.

Mo Wen desperately wanted to know the truth, but who could she turn to?

Having broken up with Mo Yi and no longer able to visit her, she set her sights on Mo Yuan.

But since she couldn't go directly to the Crown Prince's residence, she sent someone to deliver some fresh things to Liu to elicit information.

As a result, Liu said proudly that Mo Yuan often went out and often came home.

So much freedom? So, I sent a letter to Mo Yuan, asking her to come to the Xu family when she had time.

Mo Yuan received the letter and went out happily.

She's doing quite well now.

The Crown Prince doted on her, and the Crown Princess was also very close to her. She became the most important person in the Crown Prince's residence besides the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!
They brought many new gifts when they came to the Xu family's house.

After going through the formalities with the old lady and Madam Xu, we arrived at Mowen's courtyard. After chatting for a while, Mowen asked about the most exciting things happening outside.

Mo Yuan knows this perfectly!

She went to the grand martial arts competition in person.

Princess Yu'an was assassinated. The Crown Prince told her about it, and the Crown Princess also told her a lot about it after being pestered by her...

So she started from scratch...

After describing Dongfang, she looked at Mowen with a cold smile, "Your husband, you should be considered quite prominent in the capital, right? But in front of Dongfang, he's at best a handsome man with delicate features, not even worthy of mentioning his name..." After saying that, she waved her hand, looking very contemptuous.

Mo Wen was furious. He cursed inwardly: What do you mean? What does it matter to you if Dongfang is handsome or not, even if you have a tael of silver?
This constant promotion and suppression of one person is insane!
However, she has now developed a certain composure, remaining calm in the face of both praise and criticism.

"really?"

"Hey, I'm not very eloquent, so I can't really describe it. But let me tell you, you know Princess Yu'an, right? Dongfang is her husband..."

Let me tell you, the moment the white-clad princess on her white horse appeared, Princess Yu'an was completely stunned. With a thud, she fell straight off the platform, which was more than two people high! My goodness… she almost got flattened. Even worse than what happened to Mo Yi! She couldn't get up for a long time…”

Mo Yuan, with her alluring eyes wide open, recounted the process vividly and with great enthusiasm.

Mo Wen closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief... Serves her right, why didn't she die from the fall!

No, no, no, don't die right away. I almost died last time, I can't afford to get hurt and suffer again this time!
Hmph, I believe there will be a next time!

Mo Yuan shook her head: "You can imagine how embarrassing it was for her, in front of officers from all over the country! Her reputation will be known everywhere in an instant!"

Mo Wen suddenly burst into laughter, feeling incredibly happy.

Mo Yuan had no idea what was going on. She laughed along, "I saw that the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince's faces had all turned green! Mo Yi and I had to pinch each other to keep from laughing..."

The two of them laughed for a while longer.

"After the Emperor issued the decree, I heard that Dongfang took the decree and ran to Princess Ming'an's palace, crying for a long time. I was so moved when I heard that... What is love in this world? It makes people willing to die for each other..."

Mo Yuan spoke with great emotion, "He even went to Princess Ming'an's tomb and set off fireworks in the middle of the night! What a romantic person! If someone like that treated me like that, I would die without regrets!" She wiped her moist eyes.
“Let me tell you about Mo Wen… For him to treat her like this, that Princess Ming An must be an extraordinary woman.”

Mo Wen nodded heavily, quite agreeing, "Absolutely. How could Princess Yu'an be worthy of such a husband! If I have the chance, I will also go and pay my respects to Princess Ming'an."

“Oh…” Mo Yuan said happily, “You know Yu’an… again! You’re injured, aren’t you?” She bit “again” very hard.

Mo Wen calmly said, "I've heard about it. They say he was assassinated."

"Yes. But you don't know how it's being spread outside."

"What's being spread..."

Mo Yuan then began to speak with great interest.

"It's said they've been dating in that courtyard for over two years. The young man is exceptionally handsome, and sometimes he even rides a yellow horse. Everyone around knows about it. But they never linger at the gate; they get out of the carriage and go straight in. They come out and leave immediately. So, no one knows their identities." Mo Wen, who had been listening to the jokes, couldn't laugh anymore. Her face turned pale with fright…

Mo Yuan was unaware of this and continued talking happily.

"I don't know if that man went that day or not, but when the princess was assassinated, only guards and maids were there. One guard died, two maids... and the other two guards were also injured. Tsk tsk, if the patrolmen hadn't arrived in time, they would probably all be dead..."

Mo Yuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously, "But I heard that the knife was plunged directly into the princess's tailbone, and then..." She covered her mouth and laughed heartily.

"What's wrong?" Mo Wen really didn't know.

"Think about it, if her tailbone slides down and gets stuck, where would that be?" Mo Yuan laughed until tears streamed down her face. "They say she's been able to lie on her stomach in bed these past few days. It's even inconvenient for her to pee. And think about it, if the wound gets dirty, it'll easily become red, swollen, and inflamed. She's really suffered a lot. Tsk tsk..." Mo Yuan couldn't help but sigh with a smile.

Serves you right! Mo Wen thought to himself.

This is divine retribution; she deserves it!
"Does nobody know who that man is?" Mo Wen asked cautiously.

"I don't know," Mo Yuan said. "The Crown Princess definitely doesn't know. As for the Crown Prince... he probably doesn't know either. After all, this kind of thing isn't honorable, what younger sister would tell her older brother, right?"

Mo Wen snorted. Then she thought, "That bitch is divorced now, and with this kind of thing happening, could she possibly start clinging to her husband from now on?"
Given her in-laws' character, they definitely wouldn't agree.

But if she really had such a plan, wouldn't someone as ruthless as her just kill herself and then plot something?

Thinking about it this way, I broke out in a cold sweat.

This scourge is incredibly lucky!
Princess Yu'an, just as Mo Yuan had said, has indeed suffered greatly.

I'm so afraid of defecating and urinating that I don't dare to eat or drink.

But the doctor said she had to eat and poop... otherwise the wound wouldn't heal properly...

She cried countless times a day, lying on the bed, thinking about all the grievances she had suffered since childhood.

She kept muttering curses under her breath, "I suffered so much as a child, and now that I'm grown up, I seem to have a glamorous life, but I've never gotten what I wanted. What am I going to do now? How can I get my brother to succeed to the throne quickly! Why doesn't Father just abdicate!"

The emperor, whom she once revered, has now deeply offended her.

Fortunately, the medicine in the palace was indeed effective. The wound is slowly healing...

During this time, many friends came to visit her, including several princesses and queens. The crown princess was pregnant and only came once, but she brought many gifts.

Right now, she was lying on the bed listening to the housekeeper outside reading out who had sent her gifts.

Bored, she listened for a while, then asked, "Where is Princess Mo of the Qi Prince's Mansion?"

After searching for a long time, the steward cautiously said, "Your Highness, no one from the Prince Qi's residence has come."

"No one came?"

Is Li Jing not even willing to do anything that looks respectable?
Is he like this, and Mo Yi is like this too?
That bitch! I treated her so well, always thinking of her, and she turned out to be so heartless!

"...What about the Xu family?" Actually, she wanted to ask Xu Ke.

The steward checked and said, “Your Highness, the Xu family did not come. Your Highness, those who came were mostly members of the royal family and noble families... We don’t usually interact with civil officials like them.”

Princess Yu'an hummed in agreement; she missed Xu Ke. She couldn't go to that little courtyard anymore.

What will happen between him and me next?

Xu Ke returned and, as expected, got the position he wanted.

His experiences during this period made him more mature, and he regretted his youthful folly.

Before he could figure out his future path, things took another turn: the princess finally divorced Dongfang.

This put him under a lot of pressure, wondering if that crazy woman would come back and bother him again...

Then, news of her assassination attempt came... and soon after, all sorts of rumors began to circulate.

Xu Ke finally understood what fear truly meant. He couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep. He was counting down the days until his exposure…

I can't even imagine what my grandfather, father, grandmother, and mother would think if they found out.
He, who had never believed in Buddhism, went to the Dajue Temple in the suburbs, knelt at the feet of the Buddha, and prayed with utmost devotion...
