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

Of course, Feng Yue would not tell it directly to Feng Yuran, because it was equal to courting death. The king held his consort in extremely high regard in his mind.

Unwilling to guess in that respect, Feng Yue asked prosaically, “Then… Your Highness, you mean?”

“I meant nothing, and just feel the backyard is so spiritless and the group of women are lonely, aren’t they? Anyway, the yards they are living in are so big and close to the back door, which provides facility to come in and go out. And it is separated by a door from Tong’er’s real backyard. Be on guard there more strictly, and do not allow anyone to come to Tong’er’s backyard willfully.”

Feng Yuran said leisurely. Now, he was in good humor. As the wind blew his large sleeves, he stood straight in the wind with fluttering sleeves, plus his handsome look, which was rather alluring. But Feng Yue just had a dry mouth, feeling weak and chilly. He could not help but sigh inwardly that His Highness was too partial to the extreme.

“Yes, I will do it.”

Feng Yuran nodded his head and said unconcernedly with a soft smile at the corner of his mouth that even he did not notice, “You don’t have to do it and leave it to w.a.n.g Fu. Ask him to make good arrangements and don’t make any rash action. When Her Highness casts a bone well in the backyard, deals with those standing out, and when she plays enough, deal with the rest and don’t mess up Her Highness’ plan.” Then, Feng Yuran strode out.

Play enough?

Feng Yue felt chillier, and ran to keep up with his master.

“Your Highness, the prince of Southern Barbarian Lands asks to see Your Highness privately.”

Feng Yuran put his hands behind his back and smile slightly, “I have been grounded by His Majesty these days, so I am powerless to render any help to that crown prince.”

“Yes, I see.” Feng Yue certainly understood that Feng Yuran wanted to leave out the Crown Prince of Southern Barbarian Lands. On the other hand, Feng Yuran also needed time to integrate and contemplate more carefully the information from the Southern Barbarian Lands, so Feng Yue took the hind and nodded understandingly.

After taking a bath, Mo Xuetong went back to her yard to take a nap and awoke feeling rested and refreshed. But she just got up for a while, and she heard a noise from outside. Mo Xuetong took a look at Mo Lan who seemed to be deaf to the noise, and then cupped around the iced watermelon juice and took a sip.

Mo Lan waited for Mo Xuetong finished drinking, took the celadon flower bowl, and said to Mo Xuetong in a soft voice, “My Lady, Concubine Yun is here. She said Concubine Lian was ill and wanted to find a doctor outside. But the manor’s door was closed, so they could not go out. Concubine Yun hurriedly came to see you, hoping you to help them find a doctor.”

It was an excuse to find a doctor, but the truth to feel out Mo Xuetong.

Since the front gate of the manor was closed, the guards for the concubines in the back yard became lax. Although Mo Xuetong did not ask them to pay respects, she did not ban them to come, either. So the concubine’s coming showed that they couldn’t wait any longer.

But what did they want to feel out? Mo Xuetong was silent and curved her lips coldly. Of course, she did not think that these concubines were in a good relations.h.i.+p.

Something seemed to occur to her, and she frowned slightly and asked suddenly, “Where is His Highness?”

“His Highness said he went to the front to read books, And then, Steward w.a.n.g said in order not to disturb your rest, His Highness came to the Jinwei Pavilion to take a nap. You wake up early, and His Highness may still take a nap now.” Mo Lan answered after thinking, but she seemed to remember something. Her face turned pale with a shock flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.

Mo Xuetong asked softly, “How long has Concubine Yun been here?”

“Concubine Yun has been here for a while, at least an hour. She was messing outside, crying and shouting to see you. Mo Lan told her that you’re taking a nap, and she had to lower her voice.” Mo Yu also understood the situation, looked at Mo Lan, and said discontentedly, “Just now, I wanted to drive her away, but Mo Yu said it was not proper. No matter what, Concubine Yun is His Highness’ person.”

After finis.h.i.+ng words, Mo Yu tidied up the stuff on the table angrily and complained for Mo Xuetong.

Mo Lan said hesitantly, “My Lady, would you want to go to the Jinwei Pavilion?”

Mo Xuetong’s watery eyes narrowed slightly, and then, she said calmly, “No.”

Concubine Yu came an hour ago. So during the time, something would have happened if it would. But Mo Xuetong would rather believe that Feng Yuran was sincere to her, and would rather believe that Feng Yuran would not treat her like that.

Thinking as she was, she seemed to see everything in Jinwei Pavilion, where Feng Yuran was talking and smiling with another woman. The thought made Mo Xuetong heart-struck and angry.

Seeing the sudden change on Mo Xuetong’s face, Mo Yu put down the stuff in her hands, hurried to rub Mo Xuetong’s back, and said with anger, “My Lady, what ails you? Do you need to take a rest? I will send people to drive them away. It is rather noisy outside.”
