Chapter 419 - He Yuxiu Threw Herself On Feng Yuran (1/2)

“Now?” Feng Yuran’s beautiful eyes bent with a teasing look. Mo Xuetong’s present expression made his heart soft, and he thought how lucky he was that he could marry Tong’er.

“Yes, it is now,” Mo Xuetong said petulantly.

“Okay, then I’ll go into the palace now and speak to Consort Zhao clearly.” With a serious look, Feng Yuran held Mo Xuetong’s waist to support her to stand up, as if he was about to leave.

“You’re tiresome!” Seeing his serious look which seemed to tell her that he was going to the palace if she did not stop him, Mo Xuetong grabbed his hand in exasperation with a backhand and gave a hard bite. Since Feng Yuran had known that Mo Xuetong said the words deliberately, he still did it to annoy her.

“Ah, it hurts. My wife, please let me go. And I won’t do it again.” Feng Yuran screamed pitifully and stretched his slender hand in front of her, showing the wound which could not be hurt anymore. Grievance lingered on his beautiful lips. No one could believe that it was the arrogant and imperious King Xuan in others’ words.

Mo Xuetong snorted with laughter uncontrollably, and then her waist was surrounded by Feng Yuran’s big hands, and she fell into his arms again.

The two embraced each other, and were about to talk more when a voice rang outside, “Your Highness, the tea has been checked well.”

Feng Yuran tucked Mo Xuetong’s hair well, let her stand up, and said coldly, “Come in.”

Something was put in the tea as they guessed, which was the drug from the brothel to add fun. The drug mixed in the tea tasted too light, and was hard to smell without carefulness. However, if someone took that drug, he/she must know it after waking up.

Feng Yuran was said to be extremely arrogant, unbridled and headstrong in others’ words. It seemed that he was a totally self-centered person. If he discovered that his princess dared to put such drug in his tea, he would feel that he lost face without doubt, and would think Mo Xuetong was so undisciplined by nature that no one could predict what trouble she would make in the future.

If the matter was not handled well, Mo Xuetong would probably lose her life for the tea. With Feng Yuran’s temper, he would do anything he wanted.

Consort Zhao’s move was rather vicious, trying to take Mo Xuetong’s life first. Even if Feng Yuran let it pa.s.s for his face, the estrangement between him and Mo Xuetong had grown. And it was much easier for Consort Zhao to deal with Mo Xuetong. A woman, once losing her husband’s favor, would even not know how she would die in the future as long as she and her husband grew apart, let alone Mo Xuetong married into the royal family.

Boiling frogs in warm water. Mo Xuetong was more convinced that Consort Zhao was hounding her to death step by step…

Tea was given from Consort Zhao to Mo Xuetong, and then sent to Mo Xuetong’s yard. During the time when Feng Yuran was out, Mo Xuetong had enough time to mix the drug in the tea. When Feng Yuran came back, he fell into the trap at the right time. Therefore, no matter how the matter was explained, Mo Xuetong could not detach herself from it.

As for this scandal, Mo Xuetong was unable to justify even though she tried. Ashamed and guilty, the woman living in the inner courtyard took it too hard and would do something terrible, which had nothing to do with Consort Zhao at all. Perhaps, Consort Zhao could take this chance to help He Yufen to be the mistress of the manor. What a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone plot!

However, the plot also exposed some of Consort Zhao’s strength!

A fury covered Feng Yuran’s face, obscure and chilly. He did not care how others framed him, because he had seen various traps since childhood. But this time, he was really angry. He gave a cold snort, held Mo Xuetong and stood up. He slammed the table and said furiously, “I will go to the palace to see this Consort Zhao.”

After speaking, he was about to walk out in fury.

“Where are you going?” Mo Xuetong grabbed his sleeve.

“Go and invite Consort Zhao to have tea.” A chilly smile appeared on Feng Yuran’s enchanting face.

“Don’t go. It’s not time yet!” Mo Xuetong smiled softly, reached out to hold his waist, and gave him a sweet smile. “Just leave it to me. It is the matter in the inner court, and I will handle it. But the minister of the Ministry of Works came so coincidentally with so good reason. You have to help me to keep watch on him and check his background.”

Although Emperor Zongwen believed in Feng Yuran, he would not allow Feng Yuran to break into the harem to embarra.s.s Consort Zhao. Although the tea was mixed with medicinal powder, the tea was always in Mo Xuetong’s hands. No matter how the investigation would be carried out, the accuse would lead to Mo Xuetong surely. Besides, the more such a thing was explained, the more obscure it would be.

As long as Consort Zhao questioned what good was to her if she did put the medicinal powder into the tea, Mo Xuetong would be left without an argument.

Moreover, it was not the right time to confront Consort Zhao with toughness.

“You’ll handle it?” Feng Yuran hesitated, turned around and hugged her. He took an oblique look at her, showing his disbelief.

“Rest a.s.sured. If I fail, you can try, okay?” Knowing Feng Yuran was worried about her, Mo Xuetong said in a sweet voice and felt warmth in her heart. The undisguised concern in his eyes made Mo Xuetong curve up her mouth slightly. In her last life, she had pursued the concern but failed, And now, it was right before her. How could she not cherish it this life?

Of course, she knew that if Feng Yuran handled it, it would probably be solved more directly. But she still wanted to help him. The matter about the women in the inner courtyard should be solved within the courtyard. She was willing to do it for him. Besides, she could not set her mind at ease if she could not find out what crime He family had done to Feng Yuran.

After speaking, she pulled Feng Yuran’s sleeve, unwilling to let him go if he did not listen to her. At the sight, Feng Yuran let out a sigh, pinched her nose and said, “Okay, but if there is anything wrong, let me deal with it. Mo Feng and Mo Ye are always at your side to protect you. Just let them to do what you want.”

Would it be a great surprise for those who could see the handsome and fascinating King Xuan would behave like that?

“I know. I know.” Mo Xuetong said peevishly, “You just help me to investigate Lian An then.”
