Chapter 476 - The Two Concubines Scheme, A Secret Meet in the Jinwei Pavilion (1/2)

A trace of gloom and fierceness flashed in Feng Yuran’s handsome eyes, but soon turned into tenderness. His slender fingers stroked Mo Xuetong’s black hair, untied her hair bun, and caressed her silky hair, and he said in a soft voice. “You’re talking something strange to me again. It’s alright. Doesn’t Tong’er believe me?”

Concealing the cruelty in his eyes, he was more like a fierce beast protecting his cub at this moment.

In any case, he would find the antidote to save Tong’er.

Mo Xuetong said softly, “Tong’er definitely believes you.” She patted his tight back and soothed him. At that moment, he still kept a straight face, but in fact, he was furious already.

“I’m fine now, thanks to your medicine. Rest a.s.sured, your medicine is effective, otherwise, I can’t be so well now. Rest a.s.sured, I will be fine. The toxin will be detoxified little by little. You might forget that I also know something about medical skills.”

It was the first time that Mo Xuetong had unreservedly expressed her views on the poison inside her body to Feng Yuran. Some words had been hidden in his heart, because it would link to her mother, Luo Xia, when she mentioned it, which would bring inexpressible sorrow and agony, or something else to her. Mo Xuetong could not tell what the thing was indeed, so she had to subconsciously bury everything about Luo Xia.

But now, seeing the brutality hidden in Feng Yuran’s eyes, Mo Xuetong felt her heart ached suddenly…

If she escaped again, he would become more suspicious. Wasn’t it easier for two persons to face it than one?

“It’s good that it works. The bath pool is modeled on hot spring, but it is not natural. After some days, we will go to the secondary courtyard where the hot spring is more effective.” Feng Yuran said in a conciliatory tone, and looked at Mo Xuetong quietly. Seeing her smiling brightly and calmly, but not perfunctorily, he felt a bit relieved finally.

That medicine might not be the real antidote, but still worked definitely.

He patted her head, sensed her warmth, and took a long breath out. He made up his mind again that he would find an antidote for Tong’er at any price.

Mo Xuetong felt her heart melted, gave Feng Yuran a nudge, and took a long breath, and she said prettily, “Come out. I’m going to take a bath, and it’s hot here.”

After saying the words, she shook her hand like a fan. Since the hot spring was prepared for her, there must be a certain amount of Chinese medicine in it. As she breathed, she could smell some medicine, each of which was precious for her, but was not the same case for Feng Yuran.

All the medicine was poisonous, to some extent. So a healthy person should stay away from the herbs.

“Tong’er is so anxious to take a bath with your husband. Fine, I am anxious to be with you.” Seeing she was in a good mood, Feng Yuran was relieved inwardly, and his lips curled up slightly. He put down Mo Xuetong and stood up, about to undress. With a flirtatious glance at Mo Xuetong, Feng Yuran acted like a playboy, and even arched his eyebrows at her. Bathed in the vapor, he looked more distinguished and charming.

Mo Xuetong could not help but let out a sigh that being too handsome was a sin for a man. This kind of man was born to seduce women. How could a man have such good looks?

She raised her pink and attractive slightly, and pushed him hard to the side. She flushed, pretended to be angry, and said, “Please leave here quickly. If you continue to say, I will not take the bath.”

If he still stayed here, she could not control herself but came to fondle his face.

Seeing that she was deliberately pretending to be angry to conceal her bashfulness, and glaring at him with feigned calmness, Feng Yuran could not help laughing. His Tong’er only behaved like a pretty woman in front of him, which satisfied him a lot.

Knowing that she would turn angry from shame if he went on saying, he simply stopped, reached over to give a kiss on her sweet lips, and left with a laugh before Mo Xuetong got angry.

Feng Yuran strode out, and the smile on his face faded away slowly and was replaced by an austere, terrifying look. His eyes narrowed coldly with his eyebrows raising. Compared to his common charming expression, he looked more ferocious with a forbidding killing intent, which shocked Feng Yue who was following him to simply bend down, step back and pretend to be dumb.

However, Feng Yuran stopped walking and stood still suddenly, and Feng Yue narrowly reacted to his abrupt movement and almost hit him.

Feng Yuran raised his eyebrows and regained calmness in his eyes. He said with a mocking sneer, “When the days pa.s.s, ask the guards not to keep a close eye on the backyard. I heard that a few playboys usually pa.s.sed through my backyard.”

Startled, Feng Yue grumbled unbelievably after a long while, “Your Highness, if the vigilance in the backyard is slackened, then everyone is able to come in… As for those playboys, I asked people to beat them last time, so that they didn’t dare to hang around the manor. Now if…”

Feng Yuran laughed and seemed to be in a good mood. His eyes glittered, and he said smilingly, “Feng Yue, you’re so boring. Just a few of my friends of like mind wanted to sneak into the manor to see my collection. It’s not a big deal. I am not a stingy man. There are various kinds of women in the backyard, each of whom is attractive in her own way. Why not let them have a look?”

Not a stingy man?

Feng Yue pouted secretly and thought, there would not be a stingy man in the world, if His Highness was not counted. In the past, when His Highness privately met Her Highness, Feng Yue just took a few more glances, and His Highness looked surly and even made things hard for him. But thanks to Feng Yue’s cleverness and sharp observation, he came to realize the truth in time, and every time he saw Her Highness, he would lower his head, otherwise, he must lead a difficult life now.
