The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Mo Yuchen looked at Xia Yanxiang steadily.

"Does Your Highness Prince Luo agree to cooperate?" Xia Yanxiang suddenly asked Mo Yuchen in a hurry, but she lowered her head calmly to drink tea.

Mo Yuchen was silent for a long time before he said, "Miss San means to disclose this matter to the people of the Yang family?"

Xia Yanxiang put down the teacup, raised her head and said, "Yes, but don't say it was Xia Pinxiang who did it. Just let the Yang family know that this matter is related to Prince Yuan. That's enough."

Mo Yuchen frowned: "Do you want to meet?"

Xia Yanxiang thought for a while, and seemed to be a little distressed, and then said: "There is no rush for the time being. Xia Pinxiang is going to marry into Prince Yuan's mansion now. The Yang family will definitely send someone to the capital. Moreover, this cousin is the champion of Chuzhou this year and will soon go to Beijing for the imperial examination."

Mo Yuchen nodded, and then said: "In that case, we have enough time."

"No," Xia Yanxiang suddenly denied Mo Yuchen, "Since the imperial decree has been issued, it won't be too late to get married."

Xia Yanxiang paused for a moment, and then recalled the time of her previous life. However, in her previous life, Xia Pinxiang was not betrothed to Mo Fuyang. It was Xia Yanxiang who was betrothed to Mo Fuyang as his principal wife. But later an accident happened and Xia Yanxiang was forced to become a concubine.

"Is there any auspicious day recently?" Xia Yanxiang suddenly asked.

Mo Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "The nearest one should be the tenth day of July."

"Then it will be on that day. As a concubine, Xia Pinxiang's marriage process will not be too complicated. All we need to do is pick a good day and bring her into the house." Xia Yanxiang frowned and said, "We need to meet this cousin as soon as possible before the tenth day of July."

Mo Yuchen didn't quite understand: "July 10th? Although it's a good date, it's the emperor who personally granted the marriage. Although the second young lady is a concubine, she is still the nominal sister and niece of the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm afraid it won't be so hasty, right?"

Xia Yanxiang snorted in her heart. Although Mo Cheng seemed to favor Mo Yuyang and Mo Yuchen, he was cold-hearted when it came to matters that did not touch the royal family.

"Even if the emperor wouldn't be so hasty, Prince Yuan would be. Prince Yuan couldn't bring himself to please me, so he wanted to use the emperor's hand to let me marry him, but I was poisoned when the marriage was granted, and the marriage fell on a concubine's daughter. Unexpectedly, I was fine. Wouldn't Mo Yuyang be furious? Xia Pinxiang is not my mother's legitimate daughter, and my father has always favored his concubine over his wife. My uncle and brother will definitely not stand for Xia Pinxiang. Now that Mo Yuyang has married Xia Pinxiang as a concubine, it is impossible for him to marry me."

"Under such circumstances, Mo Yuyang will certainly not be kind to Xia Pinxiang." Xia Yanxiang has long been aware of Mo Yuyang's indifference.

Mo Yuyang was still thinking about ruining Xia Yanxiang's reputation after she had been granted to him as his principal wife because he was afraid of the power of Xia Zhibai and Tu Song. Only by completely suppressing Xia Yanxiang could he firmly control the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

Mo Yuchen nodded: "This is indeed Prince Yuan's style. I'm afraid the second young lady won't have a good life if she marries him!"

Xia Yanxiang found it somewhat amusing. Could it be that Mo Yuchen still felt pity for Xia Pinxiang's experience of marrying into Prince Yuan's Mansion?

"But Third Miss, you should be more careful!" Mo Yuchen didn't feel that Xia Pinxiang was pitiful for marrying into Prince Yuan's Mansion and suffering. He always knew what kind of person Xia Pinxiang was and didn't feel pity for her at all.

"Prince Yuan is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. I'm afraid he hasn't given up on you. In this case, he will either get rid of the second young lady and then find a way to take you into his palace, or he will tamper with your reputation and then replace you and get you into Prince Yuan's Palace. But since he wants the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, he will definitely use you to threaten them." Mo Yuchen said this with a gloomy tone, as if he was angry.

Xia Yanxiang was not worried: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Method?

Mo Yuchen thought of another possibility, coughed lightly, and then said meaningfully: "Is there any way to solve the problem once and for all? Unless we completely stop Prince Yuan from having this idea, he will definitely not give up."

"We don't have to do it once and for all. It will be enough if we let Prince Yuan know that the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion have already known his intentions and will not easily take sides just because of me." Xia Yanxiang did not understand what Mo Yuchen meant, but put forward her own ideas.

Mo Yuchen was furious, but he couldn't express himself clearly, so he just kept silent.

The matter was almost settled, and Xia Yanxiang had finished her tea. She felt that it was almost time to leave, so she put down the teacup and said, "In this case, the matter is almost settled. The rest is to trouble His Royal Highness Prince Luo. You must meet Yang Fan before the tenth day of July. If there is anything, Your Royal Highness Prince Luo can contact me at any time."

After saying this, Xia Yanxiang was about to leave.

Mo Yuchen suddenly felt a little flustered and quickly called out to her, "Wait a minute!"

Xia Yanxiang turned around in confusion: "Does Your Highness Prince Luo have anything else to say?"

Mo Yuchen called out to Xia Yanxiang, but he didn't know what to say, so he just coughed lightly and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that when I saw the Third Miss a few days ago, she had an injury on her hand. I wonder if she's healed yet? We're at Shangyaotang right now, do you want to take some medicine back?"

Xia Yanxiang listened to Mo Yuchen's story and raised her hand. There was only a shallow mark on the finger of her right hand. She didn't know why Mo Yuchen remembered this little thing, but she remembered another thing: "It's okay. When I was poisoned, someone from my family came to the Shangyaotang to get medicine. The doctor gave me the best medicine and also intended to send some tonic. Your Highness, didn't you instruct me?"

"Instructed?" Mo Yuchen arranged today's meeting here knowing that Xia Yanxiang would guess that the medicine was sent by him, but he couldn't admit it. "Xiao Wang didn't know about this, but recently there were kind people who helped Shangyaotang and sent a lot of medicinal materials. The delivery of medicine should be arranged by the doctor himself, right?"

Xia Yanxiang was suspicious and did not believe what Mo Yuchen said, but there was no point in dwelling on it, as they later secretly gave the money to Shangyaotang anyway.

Xia Yanxiang didn't say anything else, but nodded, turned and left.

Yi Zhu came in after Xia Yanxiang had almost left. He saw Mo Yuchen still standing alone in the room with a complicated expression on his face.

"Has she left?" Mo Yuchen ignored Yi Zhu's coming in and asked directly.

"I watched the Third Miss's carriage carefully and found no one following her." Yi Zhu knew what Mo Fuchen was asking, so he told Mo Fuchen what he wanted without him asking any more questions.
