Chapter 501 - If You Could Be More Obedient to Me (1/2)

As Mo Xuetong was thinking, the door was pushed open. Then she heard someone calling in a low voice, “Your Highness.”

She knew it was Feng Yuran coming.

As expected, when she turned around, she saw Feng Yuran, who was wearing a purple robe, standing by the door. When he saw Mo Xuetong, the bloodthirsty look on his face faded away and replaced by a gentle and charming smile. After he came in, he waved off the maids who were waiting in the room, walked over, and felt Mo Xuetong’s head.

Sensing the mild temperature coming from her head, he asked with a smile, “How do you feel now?”

“I feel much better now, just like usual.” Mo Xuetong held his big hand and rubbed her face. Then she smiled and asked, “What happened in the yard? Is there anything wrong?”

Mo Xuetong did not know why but she felt that it was no big deal with him around. As such, she did not care when she heard the noise outside, especially when she saw that he was neatly dressed. It did not seem like there was any danger.

“It’s alright. There are only a few a.s.sa.s.sins coming to our manor and they killed some people,” Feng Yuran replied casually. He then sat down on the bed, leaned against the bedhead and hugged Mo Xuetong in his embrace. As he heard the soft sounds in his arms, he felt as if his anger had been vented.

His eyes had become deep and blood-thirsty, but Mo Xuetong did not see it!

He would never show any mercy to anyone who tried to harm Tong’er.

“Who is dead?” Mo Xuetong was shocked and wanted to prop herself up anxiously. However, since her movement was too violent and she was weaker than before, she felt dizzy and her hands were limp. Fortunately, Feng Yuran reached out and held her.

“Nothing serious. A few concubines who were out of their rooms died, as well as a few servants,” Feng Yuran replied in a relaxed voice, sounding unconcerned.

Mo Xuetong could tell that something was amiss. Why did he look so casual when some a.s.sa.s.sins had entered the manor? She thought about it for a moment and soon understood. Then, she leaned closer to him and asked softly, “Whose people are those a.s.sa.s.sins?”

“Not mine anyway.” Feng Yuran smiled evilly. He lifted up his handsome face, looking rather pleased with himself.

“This man is really proud!”

Mo Xuetong could not help but smile and asked, “You’re injured, aren’t you?”

“Of course. I was in the room with my little wife when the a.s.sa.s.sins suddenly appeared. Since I’m not that powerful, I failed to stop them. So it’s reasonable for me to be stabbed.” Feng Yuran sat up straight with a smile on his face and gently put Mo Xuetong on the bed. He took off his coat, lay down on the bed, and took her in his arms again.

Mo Xuetong reached out to touch his face, then patted his arms and waist, and even kicked his legs with her foot.

“Tong’er, what are you checking?” Feng Yuran smiled at her and looked at her with his pretty eyes when he saw how serious she acted.

Mo Xuetong heaved a sigh of relief when she found that he was not injured at all. There was a hint of a fake angry smile on her lips as she pouted, “I just checked if you’re hurt!”

She could not forget that when Feng Yuxuan and Qin Yufeng had plotted against her, he had gone alone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Feng Yuxuan and finally were seriously injured.

“You, why are you so smart?” Feng Yuran sighed and his red lips landed lightly on her ear. He smiled dotingly and held her tighter. “Don’t worry. I am not the one who has been injured.”

“Who is it?” Mo Xuetong turned around, stunned.

“Of course it’s my Third Brother, King Yan.” Feng Yuran smiled more lazily. His bright eyes narrowed slightly. His red and seductive lips, Roman nose, and beautiful chin with a perfect line all made him look like the most devilish and beautiful elf in the dark night. However, he was a bloodthirsty elf right now.

This made Mo Xuetong feel at ease for no reason.

She had never thought that there would be such a person making her feel at peace just by holding her slightly and making her lean against him. It was as if she was not afraid of anything as long as he was around. She did not feel at a loss, nor did she feel nervous. It made her feel completely relaxed. She did not have the energy to say anything else to him, just found a comfortable position in his embrace and fell asleep, feeling the relaxation.

Since he had everything in his hands and had already come up with a plan, there was nothing for her to worry about!

Anyway, even if the sky had fallen, he was there. In a daze, she stopped being afraid anymore when she was leaning on him.

When Mo Xuetong slowly woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. She had a very good sleep this time. Even though she still felt stuffy in her chest, she was fine. She felt no different from usual.

Mo Lan hurried to help Mo Xuetong up when she heard that she had gotten up. Mo Xuetong had just sat by the bed when she saw the curtain was lifted. Then Feng Yuran strode in. Sweat was still beading on his forehead. He seemed to have returned after exercising.

“Why aren’t you going out today?” Mo Xuetong asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice as she stood up. He had been out every day for the past few days to look for the Crown Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands. Then why was he still here today?

Feng Yuran helped her to sit down in front of her dressing table. When he saw that her face had regained some color, he sat by the side and watched her making up. “There were a.s.sa.s.sins coming to the manor last night and I was injured. Of course, I have to recuperate at home. Father will soon send imperial physicians over. I have to stay in bed,” he said with a smile.

It seemed that he was in a good mood.

Mo Xuetong knew that he could not be taken at face value. Knowing that he had a well-thought-out plan, she stopped asking more about that, but changed a topic and inquired, “What other manors were involved yesterday?”

Feng Yuran took the wet towel Mo Ye handed him, wiped his face, and casually smiled, replying, “Too many, Fu General Manor, Ding General Manor, Ping General Manor, Mingguo Manor, King Xuan’s Manor, King Chu’s Manor, King Ning’s Manor, and King Yan’s Manor. Oh, I heard my Third Brother got hurt in the hand, causing it to be fractured.”
