Chapter 480 - Being Provocative, Apologies from Concubine Qin (1/2)

However, no one expected Ling Rui’er to create such ma.s.sive trouble and smashed the medical box of the lead imperial physician from the imperial hospital. Moreover, there was a single pill of medication within the medical box for the Emperor to consume. She was indeed digging her own grave by being so arrogant in the Empress’ palace, which made Feng Yuxuan extremely disappointed in Ling Rui’er.

“Why can’t this idiotic woman be more reserved? How dare she ask him to beg for her forgiveness in front of the Emperor? This good idea was probably given to her by his good aunt, the Empress. An idiot, truly idiotic!”

However, Ling Rui’er was Ling Rui’er and Duke Ding was not like her. He would be able to see through her. Since Ling Rui’er returned to Ding General Manor, they could add fuel to the fire, which was the plan of his official.

“Any good ideas?” Feng Yuxuan caressed his head and asked, frowning.

“Your Highness, please allow me to think further.” The official was a little embarra.s.sed. He only had a brief idea of the plan but have not linked all the steps up together, and was unable to propose a better idea. Just now, he was anxious to prove himself and push the matter to Ding General Manor instead. However, he had no idea how he could carry out that plan.

Seeing the sheepish att.i.tude of the official, Feng Yuxuan was a little frustrated. He waved his hand to signal for his retreat. Then, he turned around and walked in circles within the room, like a trapped beast. After a while, he finally returned to the front of the table and pondered for a while before lifting his brush and writing again. The room was extremely quiet, with no human noises other than the training of soldiers far away…

“Come.” Feng Yuxuan placed down his brush and checked the letter again before raising his voice.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Outside, the guards guarding hurried in.

Feng Yuxuan placed the two letters he wrote into two separate envelopes before pa.s.sing to the guard. “Send the small envelope secretly to Ding General Manor and place it in front of Ling Rui’er’s bed. Send the large one to the imperial palace, for my mother.”

This matter could not be settled by Ling Rui’er alone, and he had no intention to use his final plan. Now that he was trapped in the military camp, unable to go out and communicate, he would want his mother to monitor Ling Rui’er lest she should create more troubles.

“Yes.” The guard nodded and was about to retreat.

“Wait.”

Feng Yuxuan nodded and touched his forehead before ordering the guard once more. “Go to Qin Manor after you finish your errands and see if Young Master Qin was around. Just send him my concern.”

Qin Yufeng was going to partic.i.p.ate in exams and had not appeared before him for a long while. Feng Yuxuan found that there had been lesser and lesser capable individuals by his side, and he naturally should show his concern since he was sending his guards out.

“Yes!” The guard nodded and paused to see if Feng Yuxuan had any other orders before retreating respectfully.

“Is His Highness really suffering in the military camp now?” Ling Rui’er wiped tears off her face and asked the servant who sneaked in with care and concern, lowering her voice. Once she thought about how Feng Yuxuan ate and lived with those from the lower cla.s.s, Ling Rui’er felt that she had done him a great injustice.

Even though he loved her so much, she lamented herself for not even guarding her position of consort, even bringing that much trouble to him.

“His Highness said that he isn’t suffering. Once he thought about how Her Lady was suffering outside, he became miserable and said that he’d rather suffer instead of a weak woman like you. If not for the fact that His Highness was forced to remain in camp, he would never allow you to suffer so much.”

Such words touched Ling Rui’er again. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about how Feng Yuxuan treated her the best. Remembering when she first appeared, Father and Uncle both seemed to dislike her for her stupidity, she became even more upset. These few days, even the nannies seemed to neglect her for losing the position of Consort Chu.

She held the envelope to his chest and sniffed it. After being in deep and painful thought, she suppressed his voice and said, “Go back and tell His Highness that I will listen to all his plan. Tell him that there is no need to miss me lest he should get tricked by others.”

She felt extremely touched as she caressed the letter in her hand lovingly. She told herself not to act rashly and not make him troubled again. She finally realized that he was sent unreasonably to the military camp by the Emperor because he was tricked. What happened afterward was all because of the plans of her aunt, the Empress.

No wonder she was originally merely punished by the Emperor to kneel until the Empress arrived and brought her down. Remembering what happened in the Empress’ palace, she was extremely hurt and her heart was filled with hatred. When the guard left, she thought to herself that the aunt she treated with dedication and love used her to deal with Feng Yuxuan. She would never let her get away with that.

After having a long night’s chat with Feng Yuran, Mo Xuetong slept all the way until the next morning. Raising her head, she realized that Feng Yuran was not there already. She knew that he was settling his affairs at Jinwei Pavilion and hence drank the tea that Mo Yu pa.s.sed her before getting up. After was.h.i.+ng her face and brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, she was about to do her make-up when someone outside reported. “Concubine Qin is here.”

“Let her get lost.” Mo Yu gritted her teeth and was about to charge outside.
