Chapter 82 Mo Xuemins Backup Plan (1/2)

He was the honorable and n.o.ble eighth prince, King Xuan!

Mo Xuetong scolded him in her heart but could not scold him out loud. She glared at Feng Yuran angrily and in an aggrieved manner, reigning in her temper as she gritted her teeth.

”Oh, that's more like it.” Feng Yuran was satisfied, especially when he saw the aggrievedness in her eyes. Laughter flashed through his eyes and he picked up his teacup and took a sip. He said, ”I will reward you today and allow you to admire the blossoms from here. Remember that you owe me yet another one.”

”Yes!” Mo Xuetong was speechless and the veins on her forehead twitched. She forced herself to turn away and looked at Feng Yuran's handsome face. She was afraid that she could not control herself and would slap him.

She turned around angrily to look at the forest. She did not want to see his handsome but irritating face.

However, she did not expect that a closer look would be so different.

It was one feeling to admire the plum blossoms from among them, but admiring them from where she was now was yet another experience.

This was indeed the best spot to admire plum blossoms. She looked across below at the flowers on the branches. There were flowers on the verge of blossoming and flowers in full blossom. There were flowers hidden in the middle of the branches. There were traces of snow on each branch. It did not look sad, but made it feel as if the blossom had grown out of the snow.

There were people who appeared in the forest from time to time in groups of three to five or four to six. They stood in the forest leisurely. Their elegant and colorful clothing dotting the plum blossom forest, making it seem even more lively. This was something that could not be observed from inside the forest.

One did not know how the plum blossom forest truly looked like when they were inside it!

The proud plum blossom forest seemed even more beautiful, like a girl clothed in white. She should have flown into the heavens, but had entered the mortal realm, stopping in a patch of snow that was as clean as her. She was as beautiful as a flower, second to none.

”Isn't it beautiful?” Feng Yuran said lightly from behind her. Mo Xuetong felt that he sounded sad for some reason.

”It is very beautiful.” She no longer fought with him. She had calmed down looking at the beautiful scenery. She felt that only the plum blossom forest existed in the world.

”So what if it is beautiful? The most beautiful King Jin manor no longer exists, but this plum blossom forest still remained. It is just like human beings. What is the point of missing the past if a person is no longer around?” His tone was filled with sarcasm and his aura turned cold and gloomy.

”You are wrong, Your Highness. Even if a person is no longer around, as long as you think of him, then it would be as if that person was rebirthed in your heart. If that person in heaven knows, he would be happy as well. Just like this plum blossom forest. It is said that King Jin's wife loved this forest the most. Even though she is no longer around, every time someone mentions this forest, they would think of that stunning beauty walking through the flowers. Is this not another form of eternal life?” Mo Xuetong turned around and looked quietly at Feng Yuran, who had turned cold and dark.

”It is better not to have this kind of eternal life...” Feng Yuran laid back onto the couch. Mo Xuetong could not see his expression from where she was standing. She could only see his flawless side profile. However, Mo Xuetong could sense that he was sad and lonely.

What did he mean? Was he talking about his mother? She heard that his mother was the woman Emperor Zongwen doted on the most, just like how he was the son Emperor Zongwen doted on the most now. Was there still anything he was dissatisfied with?

”This sort of eternal life is still eternal life. It is more eternal than life that fades away. A person would grow older and die. But the eternal life in one's heart would be forever happy. As long as the person who misses her does not die, then she would be forever alive. Your Highness, do you think that this form of eternal life is not eternal life?” Mo Xuetong was suddenly unwilling to see Feng Yuran be depressed. King Xuan should be lively and energetic!

Feng Yuran was startled and he turned around to look at her until she grew uneasy. She did not know what she had said wrong. Did she annoy him again? Feng Yuran was silent and gloomy. Was he still that lively King Xuan!

”Why are you comforting me suddenly. Do I look very sad?” Feng Yuran suddenly smiled charmingly. He raised his brows and had a teasing smile on his lips. The coldness in his eyes disappeared with the wind and he did not seem as sad as before and instead was like a teenager again.

”I do not dare. I was just speaking facts.” Mo Xuetong answered carefully. King Xuan was lively again and was naturally dangerous. She could not help but laugh to herself. King Xuan did not seem like he was in a bad mood at all. The smile on his lips was just as dangerous and sly as before.

”Alright, then you can talk facts here. I still have something on and shall leave now. You can have the fruits and whatever here. Remember that you have received kindness from me again. Your debt of grat.i.tude is getting larger and larger.” Feng Yuran suddenly stood up and dusted his robes. He left but stopped when he pa.s.sed Mo Xuetong and saw that she had already stood up and was curtsying politely.

He said coldly, ”Mo Xuetong, if there's nothing on, stop hanging out with that Sima fellow. Even if you cannot become a gentlewoman, at least pretend to be one. Are you dumb to come to admire the blossoms with a man! Don't let me find you entangled with another man, or I won't spare you.”

Then, he brought Feng Yue with him and walked down the fake mountain without even turning around. He entered King Jin's old manor under Mo Xuetong's surprised gaze. Then... then nothing happened and he disappeared!

What did he mean? Mo Xuetong was furious after the shock pa.s.sed.

What pretend to be a gentlewoman, what being entangled with another man and what spare her. Even if she was entangled with another man, it had nothing to do with him! Pft! Furthermore, what was he even talking about, and with another man? Did Feng Yuran know what he was talking about? If this were to spread, she would be ruined!
