Chapter 252 - Feng Yurans Plot (1/2)

“Since you haven’t, then what were you doing there? I heard that some of the courtyards in that alley are occupied by beautiful women.” Feng Yuran’s light voice could be heard from behind the curtain.

Ling Fengyan could vaguely make out the figure of a woman inside as well. Feng Yuran was leaning onto the woman.

Ling Fengyan could tell that the woman was extremely beautiful even from just her silhouette.

“Your Highness.” Ling Fengyan stood up with tears in her eyes. She took out her handkerchief and tried to dry her tears. She continued before she even wiped her eyes, evidence of how sad she was, “Your Highness, I just wanted to pa.s.s through from there to get to the other side to see the fireworks. I didn’t expect someone to come after me and try to kill me. If not for your help. I fear I would have already…”

Then, she curtsied deeply and wiped her tears away in a frightened manner. Any man who did not have a heart of stone would feel their hearts stirred by such a beauty.

Mo Xuetong sat on the couch and sized Ling Fengyan up silently. The advantage of sitting behind the curtain was that you could watch someone carefully while not having to be worried that the other person would be observing you.

Ling Fengyan’s face had been carefully made up. There was a layer of translucent white powder on her face that showed off her gentleness. Her tears did not make any ugly tracks on the layer.

Even though her hair was messy, she seemed soft and charming. Her clothes were in slight disarray, but she was beautiful and seemed inviting…

Was Ling Fengyan trying to seduce Feng Yuran?

This knowledge made Mo Xuetong feel something that she could not describe. To Ling Fengyan, Feng Yuran should be a licentious prince. He was a useless playboy to her. Why would she be interested in him? Could it be that Ling Fengyan felt that having two princes fight for her was not enough and she wanted to add Feng Yuran into the mess?

“So I have saved your life then?” Feng Yuran’s voice was lazy and charming. It sounded flirtatious for some reason. However, his expression was one of faint mocking and Ling Fengyan, who was outside, could not see this.

How could this guy have such an expression while saying something like that that could make a person blush? Mo Xuetong could not help but glance at him.

“Fengyan owes Your Highness a big favor. I will definitely repay you.” Ling Fengyan’s eyes were filled with tears as she spoke softly. She sounded grateful and pitiful.

A woman whose eyes were filled with tears would be able to stir a person’s heart especially if her eyes were filled with emotion. Mo Xuetong did not expect Ling Fengyan to behave so pitifully. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was extremely beautiful and charming and would make a man want to protect her.

Her tear-filled eyes and porcelain skin, as well as her small trembling lips, made the beautiful girl look gentle and fearful…

Ling Fengyan had really given her all to seduce Feng Yuran. If Feng Yuran had been the playboy that he appeared to be, he would definitely have been seduced by the beautiful woman.

Indeed, an extremely interested voice rang out from behind the curtains. “How about you marry me then!”

He really dared to say something like that! Mo Xuetong was shocked. However, she realized that he squeezed her hand lightly, as if telling her that she could rest easy.

Rest easy? What was she worried about? Mo Xuetong was stunned by her question. She felt the heat rus.h.i.+ng from her hand to her heart and then to her face. Her pale face immediately blushed a light red. She was afraid that he would see her. As such, she looked straight forward and did not even dare to move.

She was just here to watch the show. Since the two people involved were not even shy, what did she have to blush about?

“Your Highness…” The coy voice sounded pitiful. One had to admit that Ling Fengyan was more skilled than Mo Xuemin. She had not even said anything but had already conveyed her intentions.

“Then that’s set.” Behind the curtain, Feng Yuran’s lazy voice sounded careless. This made Ling Fengyan secretly happy. However, she appeared to look shy.

If she could marry Feng Yuran, she would get what she wanted. Her eyes had always ended up landing on the beautiful youth. Despite having heard of his licentious behavior, she believed that she was different. She was beautiful, and every man who saw her would be interested in her. They would just fall before her.

On the other hand, this was the only way she could think of to get out of the difficulty that the Empress had posed. The Empress liked Feng Yuxuan, King Chu. She wanted Ling Fengyan to enter King Chu’s manor and test him out. If Feng Yuxuan was so easy to deal with, he would not have become Feng Yulei’s opponent. The Empress, her aunt, would not have been helpless against him either.

She did not want to end up being collateral damage!

She rather picked the most undependable Feng Yuran.

Feng Yuran would not be able to fight with the two. No matter who took the throne in the future, they would not ill-treat their only brother. She would be able to have the riches as well. Furthermore, she was rather interested in Feng Yuran. As such, her eyes flashed with satisfaction when she heard what he said.

“I will go to the palace and tell Her Majesty in a few days. I will take you as a second consort. You will be in charge of my inner courtyard before I marry my first consort.” Feng Yuran’s statement made Ling Fengyan look up suddenly at the man behind the curtain incredulously.
