Chapter 250 - When the Fireworks Were Bright in the Sky.. (1/2)

He was King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, who was said to be untalented and useless and had been sent to the Yan Kingdom as a royal hostage.

Mo Xuetong was one hundred percent positive about that and then knitted her brows. In her last life, King Ning, Feng Yuzhen really even didn’t return to the Qin Kingdom and directly died in the Yan Kingdom. When Bai Yihao led his soldiers, this King Ning was affected and died in the battle even without putting up a fight.

In Mo Xuetong’s eye, Mo Xuetong always found King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, the most innocent person.

The Yan Kingdom sent the crown prince as the royal hostage, thus the Qin Kindom at least should send a prince. Who knew that they sent none of Emperor Zongwen’s sons but King Ning, Feng Yuzhen?

However, if one thought about it carefully, he would found it make sense to send King Ning. He was the Empress Dowager’s legal grandson and succeeded his father’s position as the new King Ning. His father, who should take the throne, died early, therefore, Emperor Zongwen came into power. If his father hadn’t died so early, he would have been the real crown prince.

No one would feel peaceful after such an incident.

After that, everything could make sense.

The Empress selected King Yan because as his legal mother, she would become the Empress Dowager. Moreover, she supported King Yan the most, and after his succeeding to the throne, King Yan must respect her, rather than treating her as a nominal and powerless Empress Dowager. However, the current Empress Dowager didn’t think so. She just wanted to make her grandson ascend the throne because he was her real legitimate grandson.

That being said, if her legal grandson wanted to become the emperor, he must dethrone Emperor Zongwen. When Emperor Zongwen fell out of power, the Empress would lose her status as well and the Empress Dowager dream would break. Therefore, in terms of this, the Empress and the Empress Dowager would never stand together. In terms of benefit, King Yan taking the throne was much more beneficial than King Ning descending the throne for the Empress.

The Empress could clearly tell the difference between an Empress Dowager and a prisoner.

Feng Yuran slightly smiled and his languid voice flowed like moonlight in the dark night. “Don’t worry. King Ning won’t succeed.”

The room was warm. It seemed to be equipped with heating. Mo Xuetong sat beside the table and considered, saying with a frown. “King Ning came with Yan Kingdom’s First Prince. Then, Yan Kingdom’s First Prince is already here?”

Feng Yuran smiled and warmness filled his eyes. He gently tapped on the table. “The Yan Kingdom’s First Prince hasn’t arrived, but I guess it’ll be soon. He’ll arrive about tomorrow.”

The closed door was opened, and a maidservant-looking girl walked in, carrying a tray.

There were two cups of tea on the tray.

Gently placing the tea and respectfully curtsying before Feng Yuran, the maidservant quietly left and thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Mo Xuetong said in surprise. “This is your place?” When they entered, it was already heated in the room. Feng Yuran skillfully jumped through the windows. The maidservant behaved herself and remained quiet… suddenly, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she rose, saying slightly angrily, “Send me home.”

Feng Yuran laughed and sounded languid like a touching melody, carrying a hint of teasing. However, he saw through Mo Xuetong’s mind. “Relax. It’s not my manor. How will I disrespect you like this? If I want to take you to my manor, I’ll marry you in a grand wedding and send you to my manor in a large sedan chair carried by eight people. How can I have you secretly in my manor like now as if we were afraid of being seen?”

Mo Xuetong flushed and very awkwardly glared at him. Biting her lips, she couldn’t help asking, “Where is here?”

Feng Yuran casually said and glanced at her with his attractive and s.h.i.+ning eyes, looking quite smug. “This is my private property outside the palace. Even a wily rabbit has three burrows, and I must be smarter than a rabbit, right?”

“In the future, when you miss me, you can meet me here.”

“Who will miss him? And who will see him? Why is he so thick-skinned?”

Mo Xuetong looked at him with a glower of annoyance, but didn’t expect her bright eyes, while on an angry face, looked cute. At the sight of this, Feng Yuran felt sweet and stared at her as if he were possessed.

Being stared at by him with his pa.s.sionate eyes, Mo Xuetong didn’t feel comfortable. She looked away and gently coughed, saying, “Though you said he hadn’t arrived today, his men are already in the city. How can he not enter the capital?”

Feng Yuzhen must hide in the guards of Yan Kingdom’s First Prince. The guards protected the First Prince, and only when First Prince entered the city, those guards would show up. Mo Xuetong knew Feng Yuran must know the causality. However, she couldn’t help reminding him. “Have you sent people to watch him?”

The Yan Kingdom’s First Prince hurrying to the Qin Kingdom was already very suspicious. Now, when he was almost here, he delayed his entering the capital, which aroused more suspicion.

Feng Yuran smiled widely. “Don’t worry. I have sent people to watch this Yan Kingdom’s First Prince’s whereabouts.”

While saying this, he suddenly looked cold. His smile seemed to carry a blood-thirsty and devilish feeling, and a trace of fierceness flashed through his eyes. “The Yan Kingdom’s First Prince should have Tong’er’s portrait. Who sent it? If one can do this without anyone’s notice, he must be Bai Yihao.”

Bai Yihao was really trying to set Tong’er up with that prince.

Feng Yuran smilingly patted his forehead. “Tong’er, I really can’t attend the party when Princess Royal adopts you tomorrow. Luckily, the Yan Kingdom’s First Prince didn’t publicly enter the capital today, or I couldn’t have spent the Lantern Festival with you. Ah, don’t go out since tomorrow. Only when the Yan Kingdom’s First Prince returns can I have the time to keep you company.”
