Chapter 605 - A Token, Feng Yulei’s Token of Engagement (1/2)

In the room, a broken cup was on the ground, and the tea inside spilled all over the floor.

On the bed, Princess Caifeng was dressed thinly and leaned against King Yan Feng Yulei’s chest. Feng Yulei held her waist with one hand. The two cuddled together tightly. Hearing others’ footsteps, they looked up together. At the sight of You Yue’e’s pale face at the door, Feng Yulei subconsciously put down his hand, stood up quickly, and took a few steps back.

Princess Caifeng’s reaction was to pull her collars up forcefully. Looking at the men at the door, she screamed subconsciously. Who could tell her what was happening? She just wanted to seduce Feng Yulei a bit. She had intentionally dropped the cup and screamed in shock. When Feng Yulei came to her, she threw herself into his embrace in a panic so as to make You Yue’e, who would come in later, feel terrible. It would be best if this could make her leave.

But what was with those men?

She was confident that You Yue’e would only suffer in silence and would not tell anyone about it. After all, this matter would damage Feng Yulei’s reputation. Furthermore, she did not really want to marry Feng Yulei. Ever since she entered the capital, she had only wanted to conquer Feng Yuran. She wanted to marry Feng Yuran.

Why did other people come in and see them?

“Your Highness, Your Highness, what’s wrong? What happened?” Hu Qianyue came out of nowhere, lifted her dress, and knocked Lian An, who was standing at the door, into the room. When she got in, she saw Feng Yulei was still grabbing a piece of arm gauze that Princess Caifeng had put on the table in the hast of retreating. She was so shocked that her face changed immediately.

“King Yan, what do you mean by this?” She pointed at the arm gauze hanging from Feng Yulei and her face darkened.

Feng Yulei had completely calmed down by then. He turned around and explained to Hu Qianyue, “Her Highness wanted to drink tea just now and the teacup fell to the floor. I thought I might just get it on me when I was helping Princess Caifeng pick up the teacup!” Even though he wanted Princess Caifeng to marry him, he could not let the Emperor find out about his plot. Otherwise, if the Emperor thought that he was deliberately plotting to force Princess Caifeng to marry him, he would get nothing.

What was more, it was not good for his reputation.

So he had to defend himself at this moment.

“Yes… yes, His Highness helped me…” Princess Caifeng’s face was blanched and then livid. She hurriedly played along with Feng Yulei’s story. However, there was a hint of panic in her expression. It made one feel that something was happening between the two of them and that no one else knew about it.

“Your Highness, Princess Caifeng is the Princess that our Emperor dotes on the most. She has come to the Qin Kingdom in order to marry into your country. Her Highness does not know the characters of the princes, so she wants to investigate. She had planned to learn about what kind of men the princes were while she is injured. That was why she let you in. But now… Your Highness, our Princess has lost her reputation. What… what should we do?”

The panic on Hu Qianyue’s face was just right, as if she did not know how to deal with it. She was just an unmarried girl of16 or 17, and it was normal for her to panic.

She had just left everything to Feng Yulei!

Princess Caifeng suddenly turned her head and looked at Hu Qianyue in disbelief!

You Yue’e walked in slowly to Feng Yulei, and bowed to Feng Yulei. Then, she turned to Princess Caifeng with a smile and said softly, “It turned out to be a misunderstanding. His Highness just helped Her Highness pick up a teacup, but Her Highness’s reputation was damaged. Your Highness, why don’t we go to Father and Mother to clarify it, and prove the innocence of Princess Caifeng?”

“Alright, I will listen to Consort Yan.” Feng Yulei was fl.u.s.tered and when he heard what You Yue’e said, he heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at You Yue’e gratefully and went up to hold her hand gently. It would be completely different if You Yue’e could testify for him. If she spoke up for him as his wife, it would make it seem that he did not do it on purpose.

If he really wanted to have anything to do with Princess Caifeng, he would not have brought You Yue’e with him. Furthermore, if he were to tell the Emperor, it would demonstrate that he was honest and right-minded. On the other hand, Princess Caifeng had lost her reputation and would not be able to marry anyone else. Then his wish could be considered realized.

This was the best solution. Feng Yulei was freed from the awkward situation immediately. How could he not be grateful to You Yue’e?

This was what they thought, which could settle the matter perfectly. As for Princess Caifeng, Feng Yulei felt that he had already won her heart. As long as he spoke up now, Princess Caifeng would definitely say “yes”. To become King Yan’s co-wife was not something that an ordinary person could imagine.

“No, I don’t want that,” Princess Caifeng cried as she heard that her fate had been decided by these people in a few word. She knew that she could only marry Feng Yulei if the matter were to be brought up in front of the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom. How could she be willing to do that? As such, she flew into a rage and screamed. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the few people in front of her. “How, how dare all of you to plot against me? My royal Brother, I’ll tell my royal brother that the Qin Kingdom dared to plot against the Princess from the Southern Barbarian Lands.”

She screamed loudly, and her face was stern! All of a sudden, everyone was stunned!

If she didn’t want to marry Feng Yulei, then what about what happened between her and Feng Yulei just now?

“Your Highness, you…” Hu Qianyue still wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Princess Caifeng. She pointed at her with her finger and scolded, “Hu Qianyue, who told you to bring them into my room? He is a stranger man, but without my consent, he entered my room. How did you deal with this matter?”

“But, Your Highness, didn’t you allow that?” Hu Qianyue asked with a bitter face.
