Chapter 395 - The Suspicious History of Consort Zhao (2/2)

“Darling, I didn’t want to lure them in. They wanted to sneak in by themselves. Darling, you must protect me from them or I would not be able to face you anymore.” Feng Yuran gave a timid look as he turned around, pus.h.i.+ng Mo Xuetong under him. He kissed her lips gently and teased her, and the gentleness written all over his eyes could almost drown Mo Xuetong.

This man was a luring peach blossom!

Seeing the mocking smile of Feng Yuran, Mo Xuetong blushed as she turned sober, realizing that she had been staring at him for a while.

“Aren’t you an expert at attracting these bees and b.u.t.terflies? This group in the back garden came just for you, and you plan to leave them like this?” Seeing his indecent look, Mo Xuetong pulled him up.

“Don’t worry, it won’t take long. You will not need to feel wronged anymore, darling.” Feng Yuran was addicted to calling her darling tonight as he spoke of it more often. Looking at the beauty under him, he felt l.u.s.ty as his heart heated up. Immediately, he flipped over and got up from Mo Xuetong’s body, complaining, “Don’t move!”

Sensing the changes of his body, Mo Xuetong’s face burnt. This man was really annoying. It was fine just now, but why did he suddenly…

“What kind of person is Consort Zhao?” To divert his attention, Mo Xuetong blushed and deliberately changed the topic.

She had a feeling that this matter regarding Consort Zhao and He family would not be so simple. The b.l.o.o.d.y case committed by Feng Yuran in her previous life laid on her heart like a heavy stone. She figured that the matter was 100% related to this mysterious Consort Zhao. She must investigate and resolve this matter before Feng Yuran got mad.

“Consort Zhao was around the age of Mother and is the proper daughter of He family. She entered the palace soon after Mother entered. Initially, Father did not notice her, letting her stay in the side palace of Mother’s palace. I heard that she was extremely nice to Mother, tending to Mother’s needs every day when she was pregnant. She was approved by Father and was somehow allocated the position of concubine. However, she was not favored but she did save the face of He family through Mother’s position.

“Afterwards, He family was met with trouble and Mother did not protect them, Concubine Zhao as well. She agreed to whatever Mother said. Later, He family was chased out and they did not communicate again. Mother was then met with that incident and I almost died too. I was sent away and Concubine Zhao became Consort Zhao, staying in Mingyue Palace now.” Feng Yuran frowned as he realized that Consort Zhao was indeed suspicious!

“Was Consort Zhao never jealous of your mother?” Mo Xuetong asked puzzledly.

“No, Consort Zhao was always very respectful to Mother. She said that it was because she entered the palace through Mother and did not serve Father initially, only giving her the t.i.tle of a concubine. She followed Mother from time to time and did not attempt to seduce Father. She was rumored to be very ladylike, and many servants of Mother praised her.”

Feng Yuran frowned slightly.

The more he spoke, the more suspicious he became. He was young initially and did not understand the mind of women, merely feeling that Aunt Zhao was someone likable. When he re-entered the palace, he only saw Consort Zhao once. Even though he felt that she had a gentle voice, he felt separation from her. As his mother had died, and since he did not like the He family, he never remembered the low-key Consort Zhao.

As he explained the matter, he felt very doubtful! His handsome face turned gloomy.

Was there really such a good woman in this world? Someone who could give up his husband and be gentle and gracious to another woman? The two women shared the same husband but only one was doted, with the other not even serving the husband in bed. She merely followed his mother, as if she were her servant!

Would this environment create a gentle and gracious woman?

Mo Xuetong felt amused. With the fact that Consort Zhao was favored all these years, she seemed to be an intelligent woman. She had seen such a woman before, and that was Mo Xuemin. She was gentle normally and seemed sincere to her, merely destroying her in one last blow.

Such a woman could only be described as evil and vicious. Mo Xuetong was 100% sure that Consort Xian’s death in her previous life was related to this woman. Perhaps He family sent her into the palace for an evil motive. Consort Xian had little attachment to He family, who might commit the crime for their position…

“I shall order my man to investigate the matter about Consort Xian.” Feng Yuran pushed Mo Xuetong aside and sat upright, wearing his coat outside.

“Alright, help me investigate the Yu family as well.” Mo Xuetong squinted lazily as she pulled his s.h.i.+rt, pursing her tiny mouth at his gloomy but handsome face.

Seeing her coquettish look, Feng Yuran sighed and relaxed, pulling her face instead as he appeased her, “OK, there is a separate doc.u.ment for Yu family. I shall let Feng Yue bring the doc.u.ment over for you to examine carefully.”

“Help me choose some practical ones.” Mo Xuetong complained coyly. She knew that Feng Yuran had a lot of doc.u.ments, with every single one more than three books in volume. It was really time-consuming to read them.

“Don’t worry, I will only pick the important ones.” Feng Yuran took his jade belt from the screen and tied it around his waist. “I will bring one about Princess Royal too. You can read it as well.”

Princess Royal’s doc.u.ments. Mo Xuetong’s heart jumped as she stared at Feng Yuran with her watery eyes.

“Similar to what you imagined. I shall tell you the entire truth in case your mind wanders off. However, you must promise me not to act rashly!” Feng Yuran tied his belt and squatted in front of the bed, kissing her lips gently and dotingly.

“OK!” Mo Xuetong’s heart was filled with sweetness as she wrapped her hands around his neck, nodding obediently.
