Chapter 251 - Ling Fengyan’s Misunderstanding



“Why are you so shy? We are about to be engaged anyway. What are you afraid of!” Feng Yuran lifted his brows and smiled at her charmingly while looking at the top of her head.

“Your Highness!” Mo Xuetong flushed and almost bit her tongue. When did they become engaged? Nothing was set in stone yet but it sounded so natural coming from him. Anger filled her eyes. She had wanted to make small talk at first but could not say anything now.

“Alright alright, it was my fault. Let me show you something good.” Feng Yuran smiled charmingly and turned his body away to lead her. He pointed at a curtain that separated where they were from the inner chambers as if he was presenting her with treasures. He said, “Come and take a look.”

The curtain seemed to be made of an exquisite white fabric that was dotted with red plum blossoms. Mo Xuetong did not notice it earlier, but upon taking a closer look at the fabric, she realized that it would be beautiful even if it were made into a dress. She did not know why someone would use it for a curtain.

“Did you notice anything?”

Mo Xuetong looked at the fabric for a moment and said sincerely, “It’s really pretty. It’s such a pity to use such beautiful fabric for a curtain.”

He was really wealthy to use such gorgeous and expensive fabric as a curtain.

“Can’t you take a closer look?” Feng Yuran’s handsome face fell as if he had been hit. He pointed at the curtain and pulled her closer to it.

Mo Xuetong looked at it closely and realized that it was a little different from what she had seen earlier. The color seemed to have changed with the light. It had seemed white and shiny earlier. But now that she was closer to it, it seemed to be a faint blue like the sea and it sparkled slightly.

“It changes color as well. How pretty.” Mo Xuetong praised it once more sincerely.

“You women only know how to look at colors. Come it.” Feng Yuran glanced at her with a vague smile. He took her hand, lifted the curtains and entered.

“You can look out from here so clearly?” Mo Xuetong said with wide-eyed incredulity as she looked at the outside chambers from behind the curtain with shock. It was as if the curtain were not there at all.

“Of course. This is the only piece of fabric I found that can be used as a curtain. You can see everything that the people outside do from in here clearly.” Feng Yuran said with a satisfied smile. He took her hand and sat her at a couch by the side. There was only a couch in the room with a nanmu wood table by the side.

There was a landscape painting on the wall. In the painting, a tiger appeared hidden in the forests.

Mo Xuetong’s gaze ended up on the curtain once more. Her eyes flickered and she suddenly smiled, saying, “Is it true that the people outside can’t see you if you are seated here but you can see them clearly?”

She did not notice how clearly she could see the inside when she was out there. She guessed that at the most, she would be able to make out that there was someone inside. However, the person outside would not have expected that the curtain was so different. The person inside would be able to hear and see every single thing that the person outside did.

She would not think that Feng Yuran had hung this up just for fun. The special curtain was definitely useful.

She smiled, more graciously than before and turned to size him up. She said, “Your Highness, who are you meeting today?”

He had taken her behind the curtain especially. He did not just want her to admire it.

Feng Yuran narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes were as beautiful as the peach blossoms in March. He reached out for the kettle on the table and poured her a cup of tea. Smiling, he said, “Tong’er, you are indeed smart. Someone you would not expect will come later. Do you want to watch it with me?”

“No.” Mo Xuetong rejected him swiftly. She knew that he was up to no good just by the devilish smile on his face.

“You should have said so earlier then. It’s too late now.” Feng Yuran said with a sweet smile and sat down on the couch. He leaned back casually and propped his head up lazily.

Said so earlier? Didn’t they just arrive! How could she tell him any earlier?

Mo Xuetong was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, someone knocked on the door. A person said, “Your Highness, Second Miss Ling wishes to see you!”

Ling Fengyan? Mo Xuetong shut her mouth completely, not knowing what to say.

“Enter!” Feng Yuran said lightly.

“Yes.”

The door opened slowly. Ling Fengyan, who was wearing a light blue dress appeared at the entrance. Her plain dress cinched at her chest, showing off her slender waist and limbs. She also wore a jade pendant tied at the top of her dress. The pendant made a pleasant crisp sound when she walked. However, she looked rather pathetic. There was also some dirt on her face.

There were a few strands on loose hair that escaped her hair tie and she looked extremely scared as her maid helped her in. There were also some dirty spots on her dress.

Had she been robbed? Mo Xuetong turned to look at Feng Yuran. However, he only raised his handsome brows. He reached out and held her hand.

Mo Xuetong glared at him and wanted to shake his hand off. However, he pointed at the outside and put a finger at lips, gesturing for her to stop talking and moving. Mo Xuetong did not dare to move when she thought of how Ling Fengyan was still outside. She squeezed his hand tightly but he only scrunched up his face and pretended to be in pain. Mo Xuetong was speechless.

He was still playing in such a situation. She did not know whether he was brave or completely uncaring.

However, she did not dare to play even if he did. When she saw that he hand no intention of letting her go, she pinched his long slender pinky tightly.

“Fengyan greets King Xuan. Many thanks, King Xuan.” Ling Fengyan curtsied with the help of her maid. Even though she looked pathetic, she still behaved like the daughter of a good family.

“Second Miss Ling, what were you doing there? Were you... with the man...” Feng Yuran said to Ling Fengyan as he held Mo Xuetong’s hand and allowed her to pinch him. He smiled as if he did not feel the pain at all.

“Your Highness, how could you say something like that? How would Fengyan do something like that?” Ling Fengyan said with a flush and she almost cried, feeling extremely aggrieved.

She had been really unlucky today. She had been admiring the lanterns on the streets with her maid when she suddenly saw King Yan in front of her. Ever since what happened on the night before New Year’s Eve, King Yan, Feng Yulei, had ignored her. Sometimes, when Feng Yulei went to the Ding General Manor, Ling Fengyan would pretend to meet him by coincidence. However, Feng Yulei had only treated her distantly and politely.

He had completely distanced himself from her.

They were no longer as close as before. Ling Fengyan knew that Feng Yulei was angry. She was not the only one who had been embarrassed that day. Feng Yulei had been as well. There were many times in the past when Feng Yulei would tell her again and again that he would make her his consort. She had also agreed silently and shyly.

However, after the huge misunderstanding by the Empress, Feng Yulei must have misunderstood as well.

She had to explain the situation to Feng Yulei.

As such, she ran after him with his maid when she saw him.

Feng Yulei had walked very quickly and she and her maid almost lost him several times in the crowd.

When they finally saw Feng Yulei, he entered a little alley. Ling Fengyan followed him and saw the doors closing after he entered a courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was not the back door of any manor. The courtyard walls were ordinary, the house was ordinary, it seemed to belong to an ordinary family. There were tens and thousands of such ordinary dwellings in the capital. Why would Feng Yulei visit a place like this? Ling Fengyan stood outside dazedly. However, when realized that Feng Yulei was King Yan and was usually followed by guards wherever he went. However, he only had one guard today.

That was odd.

If she missed the chance today, he would be surrounded by people once more. There were things that they could not speak about in person.

As such, Ling Fengyan decided to wait for him outside.

The door creaked open after about ten minutes. Feng Yulei left with his head lowered.

“Your Highness.” Ling Fengyan said softly when he passed her.

“You are...” It was the sharp voice of a stranger.

Ling Fengyan’s eyes widened in shock. The light was dim and she could only tell that the man’s features were rather similar to King Yan’s handsome ones. However, it definitely was not him.

She suddenly thought of something in that moment and pushed away her maid’s hand forcefully. She rushed onto the main street, her maid falling down behind her. She could hear rushed footsteps. The man was chasing after her. The dim lights at the entrance of the alley were right in front of her. However, Ling Fengyan could also sense that the person behind her was getting closer and closer to her.

She could almost sense the breath of death behind her.

She did not dare to turn back and could only charge forward. She had not expected that the person who had entered earlier was not Feng Yulei. No wonder he was behaving so secretively. She had seen the man a few years ago. The Empress Dowager had a good relationship with the Ding General Manor meant that she knew him as well. But shouldn’t he be in Yan Kingdom?!

However, this was not the time to be asking questions. Ling Fengyan knew that her life was in danger if he caught her.

He would not want others to know that he, the royal hostage, had been here.

“Miss Ling?” A figure appeared at the entrance of the alley. The person asked with hesitation after seeing her.

“That’s me.” Ling Fengyan said hurriedly.

“Why have you only come now. His Highness has been waiting for you for a long while.” The person said somewhat unhappily. However, that was still better than dying.

Ling Fengyan said almost subconsciously, “Please have His Highness wait for a little. I will be there immediately.” What popped into her mind right now was Feng Yulei, King Yan.

The footsteps behind her hesitated a little. When she saw the well-lit main street, Ling Fengyan felt as if she was alive once more.

“You’re not Miss Ling?” A surprised voice said by her ear.

“I am.” Ling Fengyan panted, holding the walls.

“Miss Ling Ya’er of the Drunken Blossom Hall?” The voice hesitated as if he did not believe her.

Drunken Blossom Hall? Where was that? A brothel? Ling Fengyan looked up and realized that it was a guard in front of her. It was a guard she did not know. He was not one of Feng Yulei’s men.

Feng Yulei had not come to look for her. The licentious King Xuan had planned to meet the most popular courtesan of Drunken Blossom Hall here.

And thus, the beautiful coincidence had been enacted, planned by someone thoughtful!
