Chapter 625 - If Something Happens to Tonger, Ill Take Your Lives for It (2/2)

The wild joy almost made Crown Prince Xieyue unable to control himself. He clenched his fists so tightly that they were almost convulsing. The pain in his palms reminded him that he was not dreaming. The gloominess on his face faded away and he took a step forward. He could not help but want to pull Mo Xuetong’s hand.

He had thought that she had pa.s.sed away and that it was because of Consort Yan. He had gotten someone to find out about that matter. It was said that Consort Yan framed her for having an affair with a servant. He remembered that she was pretty. How could a servant match her? It was obvious that Consort Yan was the one who framed her!

So when he knew that Hu Qianyue had set up a trap, he played along. She was dead, and even though he could not take revenge for her, he would not let Consort Yan off the hook. He would drag her down from the position of Consort Yan and torture her to death. He would make her wish she was dead!

However, who would have thought that someone who was said to be dead would suddenly appear in front of him? It was a huge surprise that made the Crown Prince, who had always been able to control his emotions, lose control of himself. He stepped forward and tried to hold Mo Xuetong’s hand.

A hand reached out and grabbed his hand. “Your Highness, do you think it’s not convenient to take this box? I have a good idea. You can think about it!”

Feng Yuran held Xieyue’s hand unhappily as he was full of jealousy. He rolled his eyes at Xieyue. He had known that Xieyue had different feelings for Mo Xuetong. That was why he had intentionally tried to confuse him and mentioned the Third Young Miss Mo. He had pushed the incident that had happened to Mo Xueqiong to Mo Xuetong.

Anyway, Xieyue could not see Mo Xuetong under normal circ.u.mstances, so he pretended not to know what Xieyue was thinking.

Mo Xuetong did not expect that Crown Prince Xieyue in front of her was the one she had saved. She looked a little surprised when she thought of the ring he had given her. Fortunately, even though she did not expect to encounter Xieyue here, she knew that he was no ordinary person. She returned to normal after a moment of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Crown Prince Xieyue was the one who was really at a loss!

Mo Xuetong was stunned when she saw him reaching out to grab her. Then, she grew angry and backed away silently. She was about to speak when she saw that Feng Yuran had reached out to block Xieyue’s hand. She heaved a sigh of relief. There were not many people in the hall who were kind. It would be bad if others discovered that there was something wrong between her and Xieyue.

Xieyue also came to his senses at this time and knew that it would bring her trouble. He suppressed his doubts, turned to Feng Yuran, and asked with a smile, “King Xuan, what’s your good idea?”

“I have to ask you if there’s any poison outside the box.” Feng Yuran pretended to want to know more about the situation as he looked around the box. “You’d better take another box to put it away so that the poison inside will not leak out.”

“That’s good. Then I’ll have to trouble you, Your Highness!” Crown Prince Xieyue nodded.

Feng Yuran waved his hand and asked a eunuch to find a jade box. The jade was fine so that it was hard for the poison to leak out. It was indeed the best choice. Xieyue took the box and put it on the table. Then he carefully pushed the jewelry box into the jade box with a cup beside him and then closed it again.

As Princess Caifeng saw how careful they were, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She had been putting her hand on the jewelry box just now. Was she really alright? Had the poison left behind by the High Priest been leaking after so many years? That would be terrible!

She looked at Feng Yuran’s vicious and sharp eyes that looked as if they were tangible, making him look devilish and cold. Then, when she saw her elder brother who was holding his anger, she could not help but s.h.i.+ver with fear. Her face paled and she was no longer as carefree as before. She wanted to leave this suffocating hall wholeheartedly. She stood up and bade her farewell to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was frightened and her legs were weak. She was not in the mood to talk with them, so she waved her hand for them to do what they wanted.

All the people took their leave together.

Feng Yuran did not say anything else to the crowd. He held Mo Xuetong’s hand and strode forward. He was really worried and wanted to take Mo Xuetong to the Imperial Inst.i.tute of Medicine to have a look. When the jewelry box was sent to him, Mo Xuetong had once said that the things in the Southern Barbarian Lands were very strange and he was not allowed to open them. Furthermore, he was not curious about the accessories and sent it straight to the palace.

He did not expect that there were so many twists and turns in it. Fortunately, he did not open it at that time. Otherwise, if something happened to the Empress Dowager, others would blame him. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Now that Feng Yuxuan had sent the box to Mo Xuetong, did he really know nothing about it? Why didn’t he give the box to Ling Rui’er? At that time, he had been trying to please Ling Rui’er, hoping to get the full support of Ding General Manor.

It seemed that Feng Yuxuan had already been in touch with the Empress and the Third Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands. Feng Yuran had been investigating the matters of the Empress, but he had ignored the things around him.

“Your Highness King Xuan!” Behind him came the clear voice of Xieyue.

“Your Highness, what else can I do for you? Is it because of Princess Caifeng? It really has nothing to do with me?” Feng Yuran turned around in an exaggerated manner and said with a cold smile. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. It was not done yet!

Princess Caifeng shrunk her neck when she heard that. She had completely lost her momentum. She had seen how bloodthirsty Feng Yuran was, and then heard how he arrogantly and rudely talked about her life and death. Princess Caifeng had truly given up. If this man wanted to kill her, he would not even care about the Southern Barbarian Lands behind her. She had been completely mesmerized by his devilish beauty earlier and had totally forgotten an ancient saying in the Southern Barbarian Lands—the most beautiful thing was usually the most vicious!
