Chapter 276 - Bai Yihaos Suspicious Identity (1/2)

“Why? How did you become so excited when you just met me a while ago?” Feng Yuran gave a sly smile as he hugged Mo Xuetong tight. His profound smile hid a tinge of seduction as he whispered to her, grabbing her by her slim waist.

“What happened, Miss?” Hearing the voice of in the carriage, Mo Lan asked anxiously.

“Mo Lan, I’m alright.” Mo Xuetong became conscious of the situation as she struggled out of Feng Yuran’s hug, staring at him fiercely in the process. Sitting aside, she found the man inching nearer to her. She then pushed him out of embarra.s.sment and annoyance, “Go… go away!”

“Tong’er, you are already my lady wife, don’t be so polite.” Feng Yuran smiled as he focused his gaze on the beauty in front, extremely delighted.

“Who is your lady wife? I have nothing to do with you. The royal family knows only to order others and to lie, treating others’ lives as nothing. They are self-centered, killing and disfiguring others when they are merely unhappy! I don’t want anything to do with a King like you!” Mo Xuetong pushed his hand aside, venting her anger at the man in front.

Feng Yuran was extremely innocent but he still looked at her lovingly before suddenly giving off a seductive smile. She then squeezed her nose slightly and smiled evilly, “Don’t worry! I will seek revenge for you, and you won’t get bullied for nothing.”

Mo Xuetong was stunned before frowning. “It’s alright, I’m fine.”

Feng Yuran was deeply loved by Emperor Zongwen, but so was Fifth Princess, who was the most loved princess. Moreover, the Empress was behind Fifth Princess too, and the strong Ding General Manor was behind the Empress. She did not want to ruin Feng Yuran’s plan, and allow others to discover his hidden power.

He did not have a powerful mother and had a bad reputation as well. He merely wanted to hide in the crowd and not expose himself. If his plan was uncompleted, showcasing himself in front of others would set him in danger, which was something that Mo Xuetong did not want to see.

“Are you worried about me?” The handsome face was all smiles; he was obviously in a good mood.

Those bright and s.h.i.+ning eyes made Mo Xuetong turn her head away. She lowered her gaze, her eyelashes forming a curved ribbon that fluttered several times to hide her panic.

Seeing that she was quiet, Feng Yuran smiled like a devil and leaned back on the soft cus.h.i.+on. His devilish face turned cold as a b.l.o.o.d.y light flashed across his face, a sinister look appeared on his face. “Don’t worry, it will be fine. Ding General Manor will love to see Fifth Princess find a good marriage. If she can become the Empress of a kingdom, Ding General Manor will even be willing to sell her.”

Mo Xuetong was stunned as he did not expect him to tell her such information. Looking at him, she asked with some hesitation, “Do you mean that they want to marry Fifth Princess away to the Yan Kingdom?”

Feng Yuran looked at her with appreciation, before nodding leisurely. “The First Prince of Yan Kingdom came to the Qin Kingdom to find a wife. My aunt, the Empress, refused to consider for her own son, wis.h.i.+ng to instead marry Fifth Princess to this First Prince. The letter of request even went to Empress Dowager.”

“Since Empress Dowager was involved, she must have agreed. What about the Empress herself?” Mo Xuetong was shocked as she was quick to understand Feng Yuran’s words, asking.

Since knowing that King Ning Feng Yuzhen had entered the city that night, Mo Xuetong understood that the Empress was not on the same side as the Empress Dowager. It should be the same for this matter too. The Empress only had one daughter, and would not wish to marry her away, preferring her to stay by her side. But Empress Dowager had a different perspective, as the Empress of Yan Kingdom was her daughter.

For her daughter, she must marry Fifth Princess away to the Yan Kingdom, becoming their Empress. When the two generations of Empresses were all Qin Kingdom’s princesses, Qin Kingdom would benefit greatly along with the empress’s family. Such a plan would only benefit Ding General Manor, and they would be more than willing to do it.

Understanding this matter, Mo Xuetong exclaimed on Feng Yuran’s extreme meticulousness, for having noticed all these small nuances.

“Isn’t the Empress of Yan Kingdom Bai Yihao’s birth mother? Why is he not helping her son, instead of rebelling with the First Prince?” Mo Xuetong exclaimed.

“How did you know that my aunt will rebel?” Mo Xuetong’s words made Feng Yuran stunned.

That question made Mo Xuetong choke on her words as the words came naturally from experiences in her previous life. In her previous life, the Empress did not have a good end as she was locked up by Bai Yihao. However, that had not happened yet and she could not explain the situation clearly to Feng Yuran. She had to find a vague excuse.

“Since the Empress’ heart was not for Bai Yihao, she had to rebel. As the Crown Prince, Bai Yihao will not give up his throne so easily, even if that person is his mother.”

She imagined this based on the plot of Bai Yihao as an iron-fisted Emperor in her previous life.

That sentence somehow made Feng Yuran delighted as he smiled handsomely, showing off his good emotions without any restrain. His sharp gaze was inconsistent with his lazy and sly smile. “Tong’er is right. Bai Yihao is not an easy character to deal with. I’m afraid that my aunt had miscalculated the ferocity and ambition of her son. She had not managed to destroy her son.”

“Destroy?” Mo Xuetong blinked profusely and chose to ask the question hidden in her heart for two lives. Biting on her lips, she asked, “Is your aunt really not Bai Yihao’s birth mother? Or rather, she hated her son to such an extent to even help others obtain his throne?”

Feng Yuran smirked. “Tong’er is indeed smart!”

“Bai Yihao is really not Princess Royal Yunruo’s son?” Mo Xuetong was shocked and asked again, whispering this time. She had never heard such rumors before, even in her previous life. Even when Princess Royal Yunruo was imprisoned, no such rumors spread out. Bai Yihao was indeed harboring deep secrets.
