Chapter 221 Going according to plan
"I have sent a visiting card to Prince Wei, inviting him to go to Tanzhe Temple with me."
Xu Zhongshi nodded: "Be careful."
"Yes."
June 15th was the day that Mo Yufeng and Mo Yuyang agreed to go to Tanzhe Temple.
"I heard that Prince Wei and Prince Yuan are going on a trip together, and the date is set for June 15th." Tu Xiao told Xia Yanxiang the news, "But do you need me to go with you?"
Xia Yanxiang thought for a while and said, "Okay."
On June 15th, it was drizzling outside. Mo Yufeng and Mo Yuyang were delayed when they went out. After they burned incense, the rain got even heavier.
"Seventh brother, it's all my fault. I didn't choose the right day. Why did it rain so heavily?" After both of them finished burning incense and were about to leave, Mo Yuyang sighed.
How could Mo Yufeng really blame Mo Yuyang? "Brother, don't blame yourself. Who can know in advance whether it will rain or not?"
Speaking of which, we have finished burning incense, why hasn’t the third young lady come yet?
"I have already told the servants to get an umbrella. Now I'll have to ask Seventh Brother to wait with me."
Mo Yuyang looked at Mo Yufeng and saw that he didn't seem anxious, and he began to wonder in his heart, could the news be false?
"Thank you for your consideration, brother."
Mo Yufeng frowned slightly. Forget it. Since the Third Miss didn't come this time, if he pretended to wait, it would probably arouse Mo Yuyang's suspicion.
Mo Yufeng didn't plan to wait any longer, and just in time the servant brought the umbrella over.
Chu Qiu handed the umbrella to Mo Yufeng and secretly winked at him.
A pale green oil-paper umbrella slowly came up the stairs. The person under the umbrella seemed to be unaware of the person in front of him and dared to walk towards him.
Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng could probably guess who this person was, and neither of them made any move to move forward.
The oil-paper umbrella was lifted slightly, revealing the person under it.
Mo Yufeng and Mo Yuyang were both stunned.
The visitor was wearing a red dress of Gong Jinhong, which was very eye-catching in the hazy rain. She raised her head slightly, and the gorgeous makeup on Xia Yanxiang's face did not seem exaggerated at all. Her slender eyebrows, eyes and mole stained with slightly red became the most eye-catching parts, and her plump lips were moist.
Although Xia Yanxiang was dressed so stunningly today, her expression was still indifferent, giving people a sense of coolness.
Although Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng saw Xia Yanxiang, they did not say anything. Xia Yanxiang looked up and saw Mo Yuyang, with a visibly panicked look on her face, but she quickly concealed it.
Mo Yuyang took in every change in Xia Yanxiang's expression.
Xia Yanxiang lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and saluted Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng: "Your servant Xia Yanxiang greets His Royal Highness Prince Yuan and His Royal Highness Prince Wei."
Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng both nodded slightly, and Mo Yuyang said, "Miss Third, there is no need to be so polite."
"Why did the Third Miss come to Tanzhe Temple today?" Mo Yuyang looked at Xia Yanxiang from head to toe with amusement and said in feigned surprise.
Xia Yanxiang's expression did not change. She only glanced at Mo Yufeng before saying, "Your Highness, today is a good day, so I thought of coming to Tanzhe Temple to burn incense and pray for my mother."
Mo Yuyang nodded in understanding and deliberately looked at Mo Yufeng's expression.
Although Mo Yufeng tried his best to hold it back, he couldn't hide his surprise at seeing Xia Yanxiang.
Mo Yuyang curled his lips and smiled: "In that case, my seventh brother and I will not disturb the third young lady."
As soon as he said this, Mo Yuyang looked at Mo Yufeng and made a gesture to leave.
Seeing that Mo Yufeng didn't move, Mo Yuyang coughed, attracting the attention of Xia Yanxiang and Mo Yufeng: "Seventh brother, seventh brother."
Mo Yufeng seemed to suddenly wake up and bowed slightly to Xia Yanxiang: "Sorry, brother, let's go!"
Mo Yuyang was very satisfied with Mo Yufeng's actions. He turned around and said to Xia Yanxiang, "Miss San, we'll leave first."
"Your Highness, take care." Xia Yanxiang saluted the two again, and pretended to look up and exchanged a glance with Mo Yufeng.
Mo Yufeng didn't see it, but Mo Yuyang saw it, and he couldn't help feeling proud. It seemed that the news was indeed true. This Third Miss was really brave!
After Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng left, An Zhi and Ting Lan, who were following behind Xia Yanxiang, came up to her and said, "Miss."
"Go in!" Xia Yanxiang didn't say anything. After watching the two men leave, she went into the main hall of the temple to burn incense.
After Mo Yuyang and Mo Yufeng separated, they did not return home, but went directly to the Zuo Xiang Mansion.
"How is it?" Xu Zhongshi knew the day when Mo Yuyang had an appointment with Mo Yufeng, and he was not surprised at all when he saw Mo Yuyang coming.
"Xia Yanxiang is here indeed." Mo Yuyang said truthfully, "Not only is she here, but she really looks like she wants to seduce Prince Wei."
Xu Zhongshi asked, "Is there anything strange?"
Mo Yuyang thought about it carefully and said, "No."
"That's good." Xu Zhongshi nodded. "In that case, we should get the evidence against the two men as soon as possible and eliminate the left and right arms of King Luo as soon as possible."
"Yes."
For several days after that, Mo Yuyang sent people to monitor Xia Yanxiang's movements. Sure enough, three days later, they found Xia Yanxiang "accidentally" met Mo Yufeng on his way home from court.
Xia Yanxiang talked to Mo Yufeng beside his carriage for a long time. Although no one knew what she said, her actions were real and it seemed that she even handed something to Mo Yufeng.
"Your Highness, someone in the mansion seems to want to enter your bedroom these days." Chu Qiu discovered this and mentioned it when Mo Yufeng was handling government affairs.
Mo Yu didn't even raise his head: "Don't worry about it, I know what he is going to do."
"Yes."
Everything is going according to plan.
"Mother! I want to leave the palace!" Mo Yuanyue was still making trouble with the Queen because of being confined to her house.
The queen had lost all patience after being harassed by Mo Yuanyue these days: "Yuer! Stop making trouble!"
Mo Yuanyue was unwilling to accept this: "Mother! I am a princess! Why can't I even leave the palace?!"
"Mo Yuanli can go out if he wants to. Why can't I?!" Yesterday, when Mo Yuanli heard that Shen Che was bored in the palace, he took him out of the palace for a trip. When he came back, he ran into Mo Yuanyue in the Imperial Garden, which made Mo Yuanyue very angry.
The Queen now sensed something was wrong: "Yuer! Mo Yuanyue is a married princess with her own title. Who can control her? You just stay in the palace and don't go anywhere!"
Mo Yuanyue just refused to accept it: "No! I want it! I want to go find my father, I want to leave the palace!"
The Queen knew exactly what Mo Yuanyue was going to do outside the palace, and that was why she didn't allow him to leave the palace at this critical moment: "Enough! Even if your father knew about this, he would not agree to let you go!"
Mo Yuanyue was so angry that he smashed the teacup beside him: "Why?!"
