Chapter 390 - The Feud between Princess Royal Yunruo and Princess Shuanglan
Chapter 390 The Feud between Princess Royal Yunruo and Princess Shuanglan
It seemed that the marriage contract between her and Bai Yihao was probably the promise that her aunt made just to gather support from her mother. Her mother bore no attention to it, and her aunt either. After all, with the status of Bai Yihao, Qin Kingdom would rather marry a princess than her.
No wonder she never saw a single marriage proposal in her previous life. She was bullied and knew nothing, unable to resolve her own matters. The arrogant Bai Yihao would not be interested in her and thus destroyed the marriage proposal.
However, why did he bring out the marriage proposal this time? Even though she was different from her previous life, she was merely a small princess who married Feng Yuran. Why would Bai Yihao want to kidnap her? She did not suspect the news that Feng Yuran told her as she had full faith in his ability to get to the end of the matter.
She never imagined that Bai Yihao was the shadow behind the abduction today. Didn’t the man return to the Yan Kingdom today? A few days ago, she still heard the news of the conflicts between him and Bai Yichen, which was the most crucial moment for him. It was unexpected that he still had time to be involved in matters of the Qin Kingdom.
Of course, she never once doubted his chance of victory. He had always been the one hinged on success!
She was merely curious as to why he would want to deal with her!
Could it be because of the marriage proposal she burnt that evoked his anger? Or was it because he wanted the secret guards to be by his side, using her as a tool? To destroy her reputation before kidnapping her! Indeed, he treated her as a chess piece, and that made her involuntarily angry!
“Is this real?” Even though she believed in him, Mo Xuetong still pursed her lips and asked in anger.
“It’s definitely true. Otherwise, why would your mother set a marriage proposal with such a man, having no consideration for you? Knowing your mother, would she write such a marriage proposal if she was not forced?” Feng Yuran was satisfied by the anger hidden in Mo Xuetong’s eyes. Pulling Mo Xuetong’s slim hand up to him, he placed it at his lips and kissed it. Enjoying the fragrant and comfortably soft skin, he smiled devilishly.
For her, having her palm gently kissed by him was like feeling a tiny warm stream flowing through her body. It made her fatigued body livelier and made her feel doted and loved. This resulted in a gentle smile appearing in the corner of her lips and she followed his words, “So that’s why. No wonder he would arrange a marriage proposal with me. No wonder these secret guards would be listening to him. After all, he was their real master, their real master who could obtain the throne!”
She cared lesser once she understood the whole situation. After all, Mother did love her greatly. She hugged his muscular waist and remained quiet.
“It’s OK. Everything is history. I won’t let him take you away.” Feng Yuran comforted her as a tinge of hatred flashed across his eyes. Tong’er was his woman and he would not allow Bai Yihao to snatch her away from him. As a man, he could notice the difference in Bai Yihao’s seemingly uninterested eyes.Read more chapters at L isnovel
It was a kind of love from a man to a woman!
No matter what would happen, Tong’er could only be his! He would cure the poison that Tong’er had and would not see Tong’er end up in the hands of Bai Yihao.
“Who else was involved?” After her minutes of silence, Mo Xuetong gathered her thoughts. She was a smart woman who was merely distressed because of the sudden changes. She thought about it carefully and had a new question. Even though Bai Yihao had people in the Qin Kingdom, he would not have many of them. How could he have the time and effort to be involved in the Qin Kingdom since he was still settling the matters inside the Yan Kingdom?
It was impossible for him to control the situation here.
“Feng Yuxuan!” Feng Yuran explained calmly.
Mo Xuetong was shocked as she raised her head to look at Feng Yuran, “Why is he involved with Bai Yihao?”
“Since Bai Yichen can form an alliance with Feng Yuzhen, Bai Yihao can form an alliance with Feng Yuxuan. The enemy of an enemy is a friend.” Feng Yuran explained.
Mo Xuetong believed in that. The man dressed in white like a fairy was highly intelligent and did not usually follow the rules. However, she did not expect his deviousness to be used on her with a scheme that was so cruel. That made Mo Xuetong angry and frustrated.
“Alright, let’s go back first and discuss later.” Seeing that she was in deep thought, Feng Yuran let her down and stood up, hugging her waist before letting it go. He announced, “Feng Yue, prepare the horses.”
“Yes!” Hearing the usual lazy voice inside, Feng Yue heaved a sigh of relief at the knowledge that his master regained his composure. He replied and went down to prepare the horses.
At the other end, Mo Xuetong helped Feng Yuran out of the room. After all, this man’s leg was still injured, making it difficult for him to walk.
“Greetings to Your Highness and My Lady.” Outside the door, Shopkeeper Xing greeted politely and respectfully, with his head lowered. He was all proper, making it difficult to imagine that he had just kidnapped Mo Xuetong a while ago.
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Mo Xuetong explained calmly.
Shopkeeper Xing stood up and unconsciously glanced at Feng Yuran. He was astonished and retreated for two steps before stopping.
He had seductive red lips and a pair of extremely handsome brows. The eyes hid a slight chill, emitting a deep dark light from within. Looking at him, Shopkeeper Xing found his lips curved into a seductive curl. He wore a flamboyant purple robe, making him seem as elegant as jade. As that pair of majestic eyes examined Shopkeeper Xing, the hatred and bloodthirstiness from within made him seem like a demon from hell.
His devilish smile was like a flower that could engulf a human in one instant…
“Why? Are you afraid of me?” The lazy voice came from his body, without any charisma. If not for the high self-control of Shopkeeper Xing, he would have screamed out as if he just saw a ghost. How could the lazy and handsome youth in front of him really be the bloodthirsty and chilly person that he just saw?
“No, no. It was my first time seeing Your Highness, and hence I was frightened.” Shopkeeper Xing was an experienced man and turned sober instantly from that frightening look. He lowered his head and explained meekly, not daring to look at him anymore.
“There is no need to be afraid of me. I naturally will like the subordinates of my lady, and will not treat them harshly.” Holding on to Mo Xuetong, Feng Yuran raised the corner of his lips in an undecipherable smile.
A chilly tingle spread from his feet to his body. Looking at the flamboyant purple in front of him, Shopkeeper Xing struggled to form a sentence, and could only feel cold sweat from his back. He followed King Jin before and even being the most doted prince, King Jin was nowhere as flamboyant as the man in front of him. In comparing charisma, even King Jin paled in comparison to the man before him.
Shopkeeper Xing believed that any sense of disagreement would mean the death of him from that prince. That was the prince’s last warning!
If he dared to betray the lady, the prince would use his own cruel ways to kill him and all his men.
The bloodthirsty feel from him made him seem to come from hell. It would only be possible if he had the blood of numerous men in his hands.
This was really the most useless and extravagant King Xuan!
For the first time, Shopkeeper Xing felt that Yan Yue’s plan might not be suitable for everyone. He must discuss the matter further, and not to sacrifice the large goal for something minor.
“Yes, yes!” He only dared to agree and evade Feng Yuran’s gaze. This handsome man had placed immense pressure on him. As a secret guard amidst the common people, he lived as a small shopkeeper for many years and became more street-wise. Facing the dominance of Feng Yuran, he dared not say anything more.
“Shopkeeper Xing, do use the original price for those goods. Even though it might be more expensive, they are worth this price. However, if they increase prices again, there is no need to entertain them further. There are plenty of other suppliers outside for us to choose from.” Mo Xuetong smiled slightly as if she were really talking about goods related to the embroideries. Her voice was gentle and sweet!
“Yes, yes!” Shopkeeper Xing sweated as he lowered his head, grinding his teeth.
This couple seemed harmless, but he felt a chill run down his spine as if he were being stared at by a vicious wolf.
No, he still had to go back and discuss the matter with Yan Yue!
Inside the large bedroom, the flying curtains fell gently. Pearl beads draped gently down. He wore white-colored clothing that was as pure as snow. His handsome face was elegant and ethereal, calm and graceful. He sat behind his table and his hand holding the documents was jade white, shining brightly like a beautiful piece of jade!
The wind blew up a corner of the curtain. The servants standing in the garden could only see a corner of the white clothing, and yet they were mesmerized by the man, with them staring like drunkards until the curtain fell again. They then sighed, wishing for the wind to blow again.
That was their master, the elegant and gentle Crown Prince that’s akin to a fairy!
Such an elegant man should only exist in myths. How would that not make them mesmerized!
Lin Yu came in hastily and saw such a scene. He saw the blushing faces of the four servants outside and frowned before entering. Those servants were gifted by the Empress, and the Crown Prince left them here after accepting the gift.
“Your Royal Highness, Lin Yu wishes to see you.” Lin Yu walked to the front of the door and asked respectfully.
“Come in!” The gentle and leisure voice came from within the room. His voice was like an angel’s, with a slight magnetism that was akin to a gentle spring breeze.
Outside, the few servants threw their heated glances over. One moved as if she wanted to come over, but was pulled back by another servant who reacted.
On the other side, Lin Yu entered the door amidst the jealous stares of the servants. He closed the door and Bai Yihao sat in front of the large wide table inside. His handsome face wore a gentle smile as he placed down the documents he was reading. A natural majestic aura emerged from him.
As he was no longer a hostage by the Qin Kingdom, he needed not to conceal his sharp edges.
“Your Highness, do you need me to take care of those people in your garden?” Lin Yu was unhappy about the servants outside. His Highness had many things to take care of and sometimes needed to avoid others. It was inconvenient for him to be monitored directly by these people.
“Since the Empress sent them there, I should let them feel rest assured.” Bai Yihao smiled as he said gently. He should follow what the Empress wanted since she was suspicious of him. Even though they were here, what they could see and what they wanted to see was all according to his orders.
Seeing that the Crown Prince had made up his mind, Lin Yu didn’t press on further about the issue. He took out a secret report and passed it over. “Your Highness, a secret report from the Qin Kingdom. The matter did not succeed!”
He was talking about the kidnap of Mo Xuetong. Slowly examining Bai Yihao’s calm demeanor, he moved his mouth but did not know how to continue.
As the bodyguard of Bai Yihao, he naturally knew what he was thinking about. It was a good thing for his cold-hearted master to fall in love. However, the timing was bad and the choice was even worse!
At this time, the Empress and the First Prince had the alliance to suppress him in court and in the palace with numerous devious plans. Anyway, the Empress had the status as the stepmother of His Highness, which was well-hidden due to the Emperor’s orders. Even though no one knew this matter, the two were unrelated to each other and had no care and concern akin to that of a parent and a child.
The Empress used numerous plans she could think of in succession to make His Highness fall out of power!
His Highness should focus on dealing with the crisis, and should not care about the useless girl in the Qin Kingdom. Furthermore, that girl was the consort of Feng Yuran.
