Chapter 397 - The Long Hidden Identity of Princess Royal (2/2)
If he rushed forth and lost his composure, Ding General Manor could easily fault his plans and they would have gone to waste.
Lying on his chest, she changed the topic. “Mother would want us to come over tomorrow for a family banquet at Princess Royal’s manor. Do you want to go together?”
Feng Yuran closed his eyes for a while before opening them, with the usually seductive smile returning to his face. “How can I not go to my aunt’s family banquet? She’ll believe that I’m too arrogant if I miss it!”
Princess Royal had always been nice to Feng Yuran, loving him the most and helping him most of the time. Even though Princess Royal had a family banquet this time, everyone who came was connected. On this occasion, the four possible candidates of the throne would be together.
With the prestigious status of Princess Royal in the imperial family, everyone would join this banquet!
“What does Mother want?” Mo Xuetong played with the b.u.t.tons of Feng Yuran, b.u.t.toning it and unb.u.t.toning it profusely as she asked in confusion.
She believed that Princess Royal had a deeper intention to this matter. If Princess Royal was the second daughter King Jin sent secretly into the palace, she must be affiliated with Bai Yihao, who was someone Mo Xuetong was also jealous of. Furthermore, Princess Royal had helped Bai Yihao in his recent plan to hurt Mo Xuetong. That made it hard for Mo Xuetong to believe that Princess Royal merely wanted to talk to her nephews because she was bored.
“Don’t worry. I will accompany you; it will be alright.” Feng Yuran touched her head and smiled.
“But aren’t you worried that she’ll kidnap all of you for Bai Yihao?” Mo Xuetong asked depressingly. The thought of Princess Royal, whom she treated genuinely with all her heart, hurting her secretly made her unhappy.
Qin Kingdom would have no future if she kidnapped all these four princes and sent them to Yan Kingdom. Bai Yihao would have the most to gain, increasing his territory.
Mo Xuetong did not know how Bai Yihao found Princess Royal but the thought of his mother, Princess Shuanglan finding Mother made her realize that it wouldn’t be a difficult task for her to find her own sister. Princess Shuanglan was not an easy character, having everything under her control. Her son was equally amazing.
“Aunt won’t do it. After all, she is descendent of the Feng family.” Feng Yuran explained.
The thought of Mo Xuetong worrying for his safety made him smile involuntarily. He was all smiles and was truly happy compared to before.
“However, what if Bai Yihao forced her?” Mo Xuetong could not help but be reminded of the bitter end of Princess Royal, where she was imprisoned by Emperor Zongwen. She had originally thought that a princess like her with no children would not need to get involved in the mess of succession, as she did not know the complicated details within. To think about it, as a niece, she was placed of a much lower priority than Bai Yihao.
If Emperor Zongwen knew that Princess Royal helped Bai Yihao to hurt children of the Royal family, she would naturally be imprisoned.
Bai Yihao was extremely arrogant and heartless but he would not force Princess Royal to do something she did not want to do. After all, Princess Royal was his aunt, and he would treat her nicely for King Jin or for Princess Shuanglan. I heard that Princess Shuanglan was extremely close to Princess Royal. As Consort Jin’s second daughter died early, she loved Princess Royal, who was born around the same time as her second daughter. Hence, she kept inviting her over to play, developing a good relations.h.i.+p with her.” Feng Yuran squinted, hiding the darkness from within.
“Which meant that Princess Shuanglan knew about all these, and must have contacted Princess Royal before.” Mo Xuetong frowned.
“She did contact her. However, as a woman, it was inconvenient for Princess Shuanglan to leave Yan Palace, restricting their interactions with each other. But when Bai Yihao was sent to Qin Kingdom as a hostage, Princess Royal treated him nicely and even spare a garden in her manor for him to stay.”
A garden? Mo Xuetong thought of the garden full of peach blossoms and the man dressed in snow white within. She s.h.i.+vered involuntarily.
That man gave her an extremely dangerous and disturbing feeling. He was not here but every time she thought about it, she would be uncontrollably nervous! As if there were still a web in the dark, silently opening its mouth!
“Focus, you can only think of me now.” Sensing her distraction, Feng Yuran lifted her small head unhappily. His eyes fell on her crimson lips as his lips covered hers as a punishment.
At first, he merely touched her. But when she moaned uncontrollably, his kiss continued eagerly and enthusiastically. He pierced open her cherry lips arrogantly and kissed her gently, an inexplicable excitement within the slight pain.
She felt as if she were in a fire, where every part of her body burnt. The fear and panic just now dissipated in the fiery flames. His body smelled like the aura of masculinity as he opened his arms to hug her slender waist. He rea.s.sured her inexplicably.
The fiery pa.s.sion of the man beside her made her lost. Not knowing what to do, she could only open her cherry lips to let him intrude.
Her body was tightly wrapped in his arms. His shoulders were wide and his muscles were tight, and it was easy for him to turn around and cover her body. Her soft body was the best encouragement for him as he pounced on her.
