Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 365-366

Chapter 365 Whom was Emperor Zongwen’s Favorite Candidate?

“Well, rest assured. Li Youmo is definitely a good husband. It is a good thing that Your cousin can marry Li Youmo, since she can both escape from the Empress Dowager’s scheme, and enjoy happiness. Your grandmother is so prescient. Could she make the wrong decision? Tong’er, you don’t need to worry about anything.” Seeing her confused but smart eyes, Feng Yuran said with a smile and stretched his hands to her and kissed her hair on the temple.

“Your Royal father is not…” Looking at his handsome and gentle face, Mo Xuetong felt unaccountably relaxed, and the words rushed out involuntarily. Before finishing speaking, she covered her mouth hurriedly, and her long eyelashes flashed. She clung to his chest without saying a word. Even though something was no secret, it was still clearly unpleasant.

Sure enough, the atmosphere froze immediately. Feng Yuran did not answer her but closed his eyes and fell into a silence.

Mo Xuetong was annoyed about herself a little. She knew clearly that something was inappropriate to speak out. Why did she just mention it? But he ignored her, which made her a bit embarrassed. Then, she felt uneasy to lean over him, wondering whether she should stand up and leave, or continue to be in his arms. The sight of his coldly closing his eyes was rather chilly to the bones.

It was as if his warm smile were just an illusion.

But at this time, if Mo Xuetong stood up and left, it might seem…

“My mother was murdered.” It took a long time before Feng Yuran opened his eyes and said calmly.

Didn’t she die of illness in the rumors? But Mo Xuetong did not ask, as seldom rumors were true. Consort Xian died of illness when she won the Emperor’s dominant favor. She was just about 20 years old at that time, so why could she die so abruptly, leaving a young prince in the palace? The reason for this was not talked in a few words.

A woman, who did not have power or influence, even no strong family background, won the Emperor’s favor and gave birth to a cute child. Definitely, she was also envied in the whole harem. How could she survive. No matter how deeply the Emperor loved her, it was impossible for him to guard her 24 hours a day. There were various deadly tricks in the palace. How could ordinary people know them?

Therefore, Feng Yuran almost lost his own life at an early age, and had to be sent out of the palace. A prince could finally return to the palace after so many years. His bitterness and sadness were not less than Mo Xuetong’s rebirth. And he was a man, so he was unwilling to say something. But she understood him well and felt sorry for him.

She stretched out his white-jade hand to touch his unparalleled handsome face and said heartily, “We will take revenge for our mother.”

After saying the words, Mo Xuetong flicked her eyes and thought about his words. She was stunned for a moment. She bit her lips, only feeling the faster heartbeat, held her breath and asked, “You, you want?”

Although she had thought he was not simple long before, she did not expect that he could win the Emperor’s support rather than that of his mother’s family. From the first time they met, Feng Yuran always behaved in a romantic and arrogant manner in public. No one could ever imagine that the Emperor’s favorite candidate was the King Xuan, the least likely one to succeed to the throne.

Then, something would make sense. Feng Yuran was not seriously injured, but he had to pretend to be badly ill and stay at home. On the first day of the wedding, the words when they served the tea sounded reprimands to him that demanded him to do some decent work and to administer affairs of the court, but in fact, all were paving the road for him.
