Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 633 - Live and Die Together

Chapter 633 Live and Die Together

Feng Yuran came back with Crown Prince Xieyue. Noticing was too late, Feng Yuran asked someone to send a message to Mo Xuetong, saying that Crown Prince Xieyue and his people would not move today and would move when the helper came tomorrow. He also asked Mo Xuetong to have dinner first as he would be with Crown Prince Xieyue outside.
Mo Xuetong told the little eunuch who sent the message to serve Feng Yuran well. She ate inside. Noticing that it was late, she asked the maidservants to leave and started to make clothes under the lamp. It was Feng Yuran’s underwear. Since she married Feng Yuran, she had never asked anyone else to make these clothes.
Even though the two of them hadn’t had sex yet, they inevitably had such a desire. Fortunately, Feng Yuran would stop at the important moment, which made Mo Xuetong feel guilty, especially when she saw the strong desire in his beautiful eyes but he had to hold it. She felt that she had been a little sorry for him.
Fortunately, when she counted the time, she found that her mother’s mourning period almost came to an end. At that time, if he wanted to…
At this thought, a blush came to her white face. She bit her lips and could not suppress the heat in her heart. She stood up suddenly and put down the embroidery in her hand. Then she walked to the window and took a few deep breaths to suppress the heat in her heart!
“Why did you open the window? It’s getting cold and you should take care of yourself.” Feng Yuran’s lazy voice came from behind her. He reached out and closed the window for her. Then, he held her in his arms. The faint smell of wine and his sweet body scent rushed into Mo Xuetong’s nose. Immediately, the blush, which had just faded away, came to her face again.
“Why did you come back so late?” She leaned into his arms tactfully and asked softly.
Feng Yuran hugged her and rubbed her hair gently with his chin. “There was nothing else to do, anyway. It’s just that Crown Prince Xieyue kept asking about you. It’s really strange. You just saved him once, but why did he thank you again and again?”
The strong jealousy in his words made Mo Xuetong laugh. She reached out to push him, but his arms were wrapped around her slender waist tightly without any sign of releasing. She could only smiled, “Don’t worry. I don’t know him. Isn’t that token still in your hand? Have you given it back to him?”
“Not yet. Xieyue said, he must thank you for saving his life; although he can’t repay you in full, at least he has to leave a token; if you need any help in the future, you can seek help from him.” Feng Yuran spread a hand indifferently. Mo Xuetong could not help but smile when she saw the ring on his thumb.
Feng Yuran waved his hand in front of Mo Xuetong’s eyes and quickly took it back. He squinted his pretty eyes and said, “Since Xieyue was so polite, I just accepted it. I also told him that you told me everything clearly about you saving him after you came back, and that you gave me the thumb ring at that time.”
He said these words a little proudly, and especially when he saw Xieyue’s eyes turning dim instantly, he suddenly felt that it was worth it!
“How dare he dream of getting my Tong’er? It’s impossible for him to make it for the rest of his life!”
Of course, he would return the previous thumb ring because Xieyue gave it to Tong’er in person, which had nothing to do with him. Although the one in his hand was the same thumb ring now, it was different. There was an essential difference between giving it to him and giving it to Tong’er. Thinking of this, Feng Yuran felt very happy.
He held Mo Xuetong in his arms, walked to the couch and sat down. Then he tilted his head to look at the redness on Mo Xuetong’s white skin. The smile in his eyes grew clearer. “My Tong’er is indeed the most beautiful girl. I will definitely get rid of anyone who dare to dream of getting her.”
“I have something to tell you.” Mo Xuetong blushed again when she was embarrassed by his direct stare. She nudged him and rolled her watery eyes.
“What is it? Tell me, I’m listening to you!” Feng Yuran liked her shy and timid look very much. While saying this, he couldn’t help holding her tighter in his arms. He kissed her on the cheek with his thin lips, which carried the nice smell of alcohol.
“It’s about the Sixth Princess. What do you think?” Even though she was shy due to his kiss, Mo Xuetong insisted on finishing what she wanted to say.
“What’s wrong? Did she offend you?” Feng Yuran turned to look at her face sensitively.
“No. I just feel it strange. The Sixth Princess’ palace is heavily guarded. Mo Ye said that someone has been keeping an eye on the walls of her back yard,” Mo Xuetong said softly and told him everything she knew. “I went to the Empress’ palace today, and Imperial Noble Consort Wen was also there. But every time the Empress mentioned the Sixth Princess, Imperial Noble Consort Wen interrupted her. But I always feel that Imperial Noble Consort Wen was hiding something for the Sixth Princess. It seems that the Sixth Princess knows medical skills. Has she ever learned medicine?”
“I have never heard that she has studied medicine. But since you think so, she should have learned it. Don’t worry. You can stay away from her in the future. I will investigate these things,” Feng Yuran stated lightly after thinking for a while.
Mo Xuetong nodded. Even though Feng Yuran did not grow up in the harem, he spent most of his time in the palace. It was indeed more convenient for him to investigate someone than she did. However, he reacted too calmly. She blinked her watery eyes, suddenly looked up, tugged at his clothes, and pouting an asking.
“Have you already sensed something strange with her, haven’t you?”
Feng Yuran’s deep laughter rang in her ears. He could not help but pinch her nose when he saw how adorable she was. He coaxed her softly, “I know that Tong’er is the smartest.”
“Tell me, when did you start to suspect them?” Mo Xuetong slapped Feng Yuran’s messing hand away and asked coyly. She had happened to encounter this incident and felt that something was amiss. However, Feng Yuran had already sensed it quietly, but he did not tell her about it. How could she not be upset?
Feng Yuran immediately understood what she meant when he saw her pout. He hurried to explain, “Tong’er, be good. You don’t have to worry about those things. You just need to take good care of yourself and be a happy little consort in the manor. I will do with all the things.”
The other princes had married the women who had a powerful family background and considered whether it would benefit him or not. He was the only one who was loyal to her and did not want her to suffer any grievance. He even punished the women in the backyard by himself. In the end, he even took the responsibility.
A bitter and painful feeling surged in her heart, as though her heart had dissolved. For some reason, her nose felt sour. She bit her lips and suppressed the sadness in her heart. She lowered her head, looked down, and grabbed his robe to shake. “No, sometimes I just want to be with you.”
It was not easy to get such happiness!
In her previous life, her tragic encounters seemed to be on her side. Therefore, for the happiness of this life, she must not be passive anymore. She would definitely maintain this happiness, even if she had to do what she thought was cruel in her last life. The blood feud in her last life finally made her understand that being kind to her enemy was cruel to her. So, in this life, she would not give in. She would stand with him.
They would share life and death with each other!
In order to maintain the happiness, even if she only had a little bit of power, she would still offer.
Feeling Mo Xuetong’s insistence, Feng Yuran reached out and patted her tight shoulders. He changed the topic and began to explain what he had said before. “The death of my mother is really suspicious. The Empress’ behavior was very clear and bold. At that time, my mother was the favorite consort of Father. No matter how strong the Empress was, she did not dare to confront Father’s power. So I think there must be something wrong with it.”
“So, you investigated it?”
“Yes, since I had returned to the palace, I would investigate it first. On the one hand, I used the identity of Peony Master to investigate it; on the other hand, I planted some people in the palace to investigate what happened that year. Unexpectedly, I did not find out the truth about my mother’s death, but I found something about Imperial Noble Consort Wen. I felt that Imperial Noble Consort Wen was too virtuous to be real, so I specially investigated her matter. As a result, I grew suspicious after this investigation.”
Under the lamp, Feng Yuran’s beautiful eyes sparkled, but there was a strong evil spirit in them, and even the air became cold.
Sensing that the topic was too heavy, Mo Xuetong took the initiative to put her arms around his slender but strong waist. She also imitated him and patted him to calm him down. “There’s something wrong with Imperial Noble Consort Wen?”
“Yeah, she is very unusual. She treats everyone in the palace well, but she does not get close to anyone, as if she is an aloof person in the palace. Even Father treats her with some respect. So even though her parents’ family is not prominent and she did not give birth to a prince, she has been promoted to the position of imperial noble consort.” Feng Yuran relaxed his body slowly and he caressed the beautiful woman’s black hair gently with his hands.
“Maybe His Majesty gave her the title of imperial noble consort because of her virtuousness,” Mo Xuetong stated after thinking for a while.
“She is very virtuous. Back then, she was pregnant with a child. But when the child was about to be born, she encountered something like Consort Yu and Consort Zhao. The male fetus had taken shape but was dead, but she didn’t mean to punish that consort at all, and even begged Father to spare that woman. Although that woman was finally sent to the Cold Palace by Father, people in the palace thought that she was a virtuous person from then on, and even Father thought highly of her because of that.”
Mo Xuetong was stunned. Her long lashes fluttered and she could not believe it. Even a woman in an ordinary family would not plead for the person who had caused her male fetus to die, not to mention the women in the palace. Mo Xuetong really did not believe that there was such a woman in the world. Furthermore, the woman was still alive in the palace and her life was getting better and better.
In her past life, Mo Xuetong had experienced such a sharp pain. At that time, she would rather die herself or die together with her child. So even though she was so weak, she still wanted Sima Lingyun to punish Yun Yiqiu. And she even cried and fell ill on the bed for months because Sima Lingyun repeatedly protected that woman.
How did Imperial Noble Consort Wen do it?
This… this could no longer describe her as virtuous. Mo Xuetong felt that a woman like this could only be described as scheming.
“Could it be that she was not pregnant?” It seemed that except for the loss of a son, everything was in Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s favor. It was also because of this that she was doted on by Emperor Zongwen and her status in among the consorts had risen, which made Mo Xuetong have to guess the crux of the matter.
“No, a real infant. I’ve checked the pulse diagnosis in the Imperial Institute of Medicine and found that there was more than one imperial physician to feel pulse for her. With Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s power at that time, she wasn’t able to bribe the entire Imperial Institute of Medicine,” Feng Yuran responded with certainty.
