Chapter 80 Meeting King Xuan Again in the Plum Blossom Forest (1/2)

”Miss, shall we go there first?” Mo Ye saw Mo Xuetong picking up her skirt and approached with a smile. Her gaze landed on the horse carriage behind as she asked hesitantly.

”Let's go first. Fourth Sister still has something to say to the His Excellency.” Mo Xuetong swept her eyes over the carriage door disapprovingly as she hid the cold laughter in the corners of her eyes. Adding drugs that made my aroused to one that would knock a person out. Her Fourth Sister really impressed her. She was not any less vicious that Mo Xuemin.

Even though there wasn't too much arrosal drug, it was impossible not to affect someone when they stayed in a confined s.p.a.ce for so long. Furthermore, Mo Xueqiong had intentionally flirted with Sima Lingyun, and he only pretended to be a gentleman. How could he not resist acting on his desires? It had happened indeed, and she doubted that they would be able to leave any time soon.

Mo Xuemin wanted to plot against her but had not expected to let Mo Xueqiong get around to it first. She wondered if the people Mo Xuemin brought with her to watch the scene would be so angry as to vomit blood!

She tugged on Mo Ye's hand and ignored them, turning around and walking into the forest. She did not need to worry about anything else. If Mo Xuemin wanted to ruin her reputation, she would definitely plan to do something else when she realized that the people in the carriage had not gotten off. When she caught them at it, they would be the ones who would find it hard to explain themselves. Mo Xuetong antic.i.p.ated the result.

She was in a rather good mood and she felt that the blossoms that surrounded her were even more beautiful then.

The plum blossom forest was famous and there were quite a few people who had come to see it. A few n.o.ble ladies and gentlemen would walk by together. However, they were usually a couple made of a man and a woman. Coming out to play was an elegant matter, but if a man and a woman were there alone, it would create rumors. If Mo Xueqiong had not come today, she and Sima Lingyun would have become the subject of gossip. They would become a pair with bad reputations...

Deep inside the plum blossom forest, there was a gentle breeze that caused the branches to shake slightly. Petals fell, snow white flowers and pink flowers. They landed on the girl standing under the tree. She was so beautiful, a king would ransom his country for her. Her skin was like porcelain, clear and pale, and she flushed with redness from within. She was flawless and more perfect than the purest sheep fat jade. She was more beautiful than the most beautiful flower in the world, and more lively than the clearest waters.

She had an indescribable elegance and n.o.ble aura. Her eyes looked around, hiding slyness and intelligence within them. What was most beautiful about her was her smile. It was clean and pure. The breeze lifted her skirts and her sleeves fluttered in the air. Her white s.h.i.+rt was as white as snow and she looked like an ethereal fairy from the nine realms. A smile from her could shake the world.

There was a tall wall at the end of the plum blossom forest which was newly built by the government. In order to prevent King Jin's old manor from being destroyed, his manor was hidden despite the outer walls of the forest being destroyed. As such, they had built a new wall at the end of the forest, separating the manor from the forest.

In a pavilion on a fake mountain close to the wall, Feng Yuran laid on a couch with his legs crossed haphazardly. There was a cup of tea and a platter of fruits on the table beside him. There was a screen behind the pavilion which blocked the cold wind. He laid on the couch and watched the entire forest. It was the best spot ever.

He was looking at where Mo Xuetong was standing. She was looking down and taking deep breaths. He watched as she opened her eyes in a good mood and walked around the forest with light steps. Her perfect tightly shut lips lifted up slightly. His brows picked up and an interested expression appeared on his handsome face. He looked at her beauty and liveliness from above. She was not as defensive or careful as usual. She was like a dancing fairy in the forest at this moment.

She did not have any makeup and tilted her bare face up, looking at the sky. She wore comfortable and casual clothing, looking especially refres.h.i.+ng in the plum blossom forest. She was beautiful. When had the little wild cat kept her claws?

Feng Yuran's eyes moved from Mo Xuetong to another part of the plum blossom forest. His eyes suddenly turned grave as he looked over there. His eyes clouded over. His guard, Feng Yue backed away when he saw that expression on Feng Yuran's face. Only those who served Feng Yuran closely knew that the more devilish his smile, the more brilliantly his eyes shone, the angrier he was.

He did not know to whom the carriage belonged to. Feng Yue only saw Third Young Miss Mo getting off the carriage. It was obvious that there were still people in the carriage. He could tell when the driver carefully waited near the carriage.

If he was not wrong, the sign on the carriage indicated that it was not from the Mo Manor but from the Duke's manor!

His purple robes fluttered and he disappeared without a flash. Feng Yue turned to see where Feng Yuran had been looking at. Indeed, beneath a plum blossom tree, a young lady was looking at that handsome face in surprise.

His Highness had gone down after all!

He had to follow since His Highness had. He could not stand here at such great heights to admire the plum blossom forest anymore! This pavilion was not somewhere anyone could visit. Only his master, out of the entire capital, dared to come. He was not afraid that the Emperor would rebuke him! However, he would not be able to admire the plum blossoms now.

Feng Yue sighed to himself and left the pavilion in a flash as well. He discovered that the Duke's manor's carriage was surrounded by people from the corner of his eyes. They were too far away and he could not hear what was happening through the chatter. He could hear the cries of a woman that traveled with the wind. It seemed that something had happened. That was good, at least if His Highness unleashed his anger, he would not make Feng Yue do some immoral things!

”Feng Yuran...” Mo Xuetong looked at Feng Yuran's handsome face in surprise. She could not react at that moment and she stuttered. Then, her mind cleared immediately and she realized that they were standing very close to each other. She immediately took two steps back and curtsied, greeting him respectfully, ”King Xuan!”

Feng Yuran was annoyed when he saw how she carefully distanced herself from him as if he was a ferocious beast. He could not keep the smile on his face. If he had not had self-control that he had always been proud of...
