Chapter 380 - Beautiful Women of King Xuan’s Manor
After long, the breathing of the man beside her became lighter. Mo Xuetong felt her body stiffened and thus changed her position, twisting to another side. However, just as she moved a little, a strong arm stretched over and pulled her in his arms before hearing his satisfying moan.
“Did you see anything interesting today?” He asked with a playful voice, with a tinge of laziness hidden within.
Mo Xuetong stretched her limbs and found a more comfortable position in his arms. Her long eyelashes fell as she blinked, closing her eyes. “Did you know the situation long ago?”
The matter between Consort Yu and Feng Yuzhen didn’t happen overnight, and it was difficult to be done in complete secrecy as well. With the ability of Feng Yuran, he would have known about the matter for a long time.
“Empress Dowager thought that her plan was flawless. She used the child in Consort Yu’s womb as a bargaining chip to seek an advantage for King Ning. If King Ning fails, the kid is a useful chess piece to be used.” Feng Yuran’s lips curved into a smile, mocking, “Empress Dowager was indeed worked painstakingly for this child, even moving her subordinate to Cold Palace to help Feng Yuzhen act! As the Empress Dowager of a nation, who would have thought that she was helping someone cheat.”
“Emperor, does the Emperor know...” Mo Xuetong hesitated before asking the question as she felt that something was amiss.
“Don’t care about her, Tong’er. But take note that she might hurt you. I heard that she especially asked you to bring her in today. What a great plan! Unfortunately, his master behind her might not agree with this plan!” Feng Yuran replied lazily as he stretched out his hand to caress Mo Xuetong’s white hands before kissing it using his lips affectionately.
This remark made Mo Xuetong remember Consort Yu’s attitude. At the start of the day, she came to her and complained that she wasn’t feeling well before asking if she could help her into her room. After dismissing her head servant, she exchanged a few words with her. Her words conveyed a deeper meaning and her attitude seemed to be one of nonchalant when she was asked about the child she was pregnant with, as if it were extremely easy to bear a child!
...
Hence, she wanted to use the child she was bearing to frame Mo Xuetong. Any sign of miscarriage or stomachache would be framed as her fault. Of course, this was because Consort Yu did not place a heavy emphasis on the child she had. If anything did go wrong and a miscarriage was induced, she could seduce Feng Yuzhen again due to her young and beautiful appearance. As they were both extremely young, it was not difficult for her to bear another child.
Hence, she set up such a plan to get Mo Xuetong involved.
If not for the accident induced by Wang Xiuxiu, Consort Yu would naturally blame her for the problem. Facing the entire court of aristocrats, Feng Yuran was unable to save her even if he believed in her. Unless she could provide concrete evidence, the death of the child would entirely be her fault.
It was extremely devious how she used the child in her womb as a bargaining chip, just like Auntie Fang!
Such women were not worthy of being women.
Having remembered that Auntie Fang had similar plans to frame her before, chilly waves flashed across the clear eyes of Mo Xuetong.
“Rest assured, even if she wants to frame you, she has to see her status. As for the one in her womb... other than those few people... no one cared!” Having felt that the woman in his arms was biting her lips due to anger, Feng Yuran comforted her gently.
If not for the usefulness of the child, no one would have kept that illegitimate child! Consort Yu thought that her plan was perfect but she didn’t know that many people were eyeing her unborn child.
“If Consort Yu comes to disturb you again, you can just leave. After all, she was merely a second-grade consort, a grade lower than you. If you ignore her, she can’t do anything about it. I shall leave her child a while more as it’s not yet time...”
“What if she keeps disturbing me?” Mo Xuetong complained unhappily, her cherry lips pursed. If she dragged her hand like what happened today, it was not possible for her to just throw her hand away or Consort Yu could have just fallen and pretended to be hurt. Lying on his broad chest, Mo Xuetong was almost depressed.
“Oh, so this is...” Seeing how she was moaning, Feng Yuran laughed and pinched her upright nose, a seductive smile appearing on his handsome face. “If Tong’er promises me something, I will let Consort Yu stay in her palace until I need her to leave...”
He didn’t finish his words but Mo Xuetong completely understood what he meant. She stared at him and complained in shame, “No!”
A red blush appeared on her jade white face, making her face beautiful and picturesque.
“Really no? Don’t regret your decision, Tong’er!” Feng Yuran lifted his brows as his lips curved up in a mocking smile, his long slender eyes as clear as the crescent moon. His brows moved as he examined the beautiful and innocent lady in front of him; the red blush on her cheeks enhanced her beauty further.
He stretched out his hand to hug her tightly before releasing. He loved this little woman with all his life!
“Of course no, we’re talking about proper stuff!” Even though Mo Xuetong was chiding him, her voice seemed to be coquettish. Coupled with her red blushing face, she had no momentum and power, making him even prouder as he laughed more. Together with his pride was a sense of love that he didn’t realize himself.
“Of course we’re talking about proper stuff. Or is Tong’er reminding me that I can do some indecent stuff now?” Feng Yuran lifted up Mo Xuetong’s chin, examining her pretty little face which had nowhere to hide. A seductive smile curved up on his handsome face.
Having her chin lifted up, Mo Xuetong was unable to turn her head away and decided to stare at him, and saw that he was looking at her with a mysterious smile. As they were lying on the bed, his robes were untied and his black hair was spread on the bed, complementing his extremely handsome look. He looked seductive and devious, making one’s heart thump fast involuntarily.
How could such a beautiful man exist in this world? He was like a seductive purple lotus blossoming in the dark night.
“Tong’er, is your husband handsome enough for you?” Seeing that Mo Xuetong was staring at him blankly, blushing. Feng Yuran felt extremely delighted, loosening his robes even further as he glanced at her deviously. He pulled her hand to caress his handsome face, giving a seductive look as he asked mockingly.
Mo Xuetong turned sober at once as the blush on her face turned even redder. She could not help but rebut him due to the narcissistic nature of the man, especially since they were just having a serious conversation. Mo Xuetong ground her teeth and replied sarcastically, “My husband is so pretty that even a woman like me is jealous of your beauty. With your looks, you merely need to change your clothes to become an extreme beauty!”
With such thick skin and such arrogance, the more embarrassed you were, the further the man would go. If you became as shameless as he was, he would tone down.
The man flicked his brows. Ignoring her comment that he looked like a woman, he smiled devilishly. “I wonder if my face is desirable for My Lady’s eyes and heart?”
Even though Feng Yuran’s face was extremely gorgeous, the well-curved features and the elegant and handsome nature was completely different from the charm of women!
“It’s easy for such a pretty face to enter anyone’s heart!” Mo Xuetong replied resentfully as she remembered that she was almost sent to another king’s manor because of this face. She then turned the hand resting on his face and pinched him hard.
“Ouch, it hurts! Since I did enter My Lady’s heart today, how about you serve me tonight?” Feng Yuran’s handsome face turned bitter as he saw that she feigned nonchalance despite her extreme embarrassment, with even her jade white ears turning red. After some deep thought, he asked, with the smile on his lips turning more seductive.
“Serve him tonight?”
Suddenly, Mo Xuetong felt that she could no longer sustain a conversation with this man. His skin was so thick that her abilities could not counter him. If shamelessness were a competition, ten of her would not be able to match up to one of him.
Mo Xuetong exerted strength and threw his hand away before pinching his hand again. This time, she ignored him and laid down on his chest, pretending to be asleep.
His laughter was muffled at her ears. “Are you really angry?”
Mo Xuetong replied dully. “No!” There was no way she could talk to him now.
Feng Yuran explained to her gently but Mo Xuetong heard the chilly meaning hidden within. “Alright. Don’t worry, Consort Yu won’t be coming out to harm you from now on. I’ll let her stay in the palace obediently to tend to her baby. If she still has a miscarriage because of that, that’ll be the end of her life as a concubine.” He was angry!
“Is it because of me!”
A warm stream filled her heart as she rubbed her puny face against Feng Yuran’s body, feeling his softness and tenderness. “I’m sleepy. Let’s sleep for a while more.”
Feng Yuran obviously didn’t sleep for the entire night. Since she didn’t see him when she woke up last night, she deduced that he must have just come in.
Seeing her unguarded and innocent demeanor, and listening to her sweet and provocative voice, Feng Yuran found the anger residing in his chest disappeared. He always had Tong’er to accompany him. She was his wife, the one he loved. It was a great blessing that he was able to be together with the woman he loved in this life!
Hugging her soft and fragrant body tight, he rubbed his ruby red lips at her neck, feeling her skin and warm breath. He gently said without any trace of awkwardness, “Alright, I shall sleep too.”
Since Feng Yuran didn’t come back last night, Mo Xuetong didn’t have proper rest as well. Resting in his arms now and being in his fragrance embrace, she felt her eyelids became heavy as she found a comfortable position and continued sleeping.
Outside the room, the few servants were all Mo Xuetong’s close servants. They saw that the King had just entered the room and that they didn’t order them in, they knew that their masters were resting and hence retreated, whispering in fear of disturbing their masters inside.
The spring breeze blew as flowers fell gently down and branches gently swayed. Occasionally, servants smiled and giggled, peaceful and quiet.
“Sister Mo Lan, Sister Mo Lan.” Outside the garden, Mo Yu hurried in, pulling a corner of her long skirt up. As she was anxious, her voice changed as if she was frightened. When she entered the door, she stumbled on the threshold. If not for the fact that she grabbed onto the door frame, she would have fallen.
“What happened? Why in such a hurry?” Mo Lan put his hand on her lips, signaling for her to lower her voice before chiding her gently.
Seeing Mo Lan’s actions, Mo Yu took two deep breaths. Wiping the sweat off her face, she lowered her voice and replied, “Sister Mo Lan, something happened in the manor. Old Sir would like our lady to take a look.”
