Feng Yuran really liked to see Mo Xuetong like this when he saw her bright and beautiful eyes and red cheeks, which made her look charming. However, he knew that she was really embarra.s.sed and annoyed. He immediately stopped teasing her and took her to the couch. He held her in his arms with one hand and picked up the book she had thrown aside with the other. He flipped through it and his handsome eyes raised. “Tong’er, do you want to be a female doctor?”
The book that Mo Xuetong had casually flipped through was a medical book. When she was free, she would flip through it. This book was left to her by Bai Yihao in the past. There were some of his ideas written on it. It was much more precious than ordinary books. The explanation in the book was thorough and it also detailed several of the methods that Bai Yihao had understood.
Seeing that he didn’t mention the embarra.s.sing topic just now, Mo Xuetong became normal and tried to get rid of his arms. She failed, so she just let him hold her and lazily leaned into his arms. She glanced at the book and said, “Can’t I read it if I don’t want to be a female doctor? I heard that there are a few great books in the palace. Take them out for me sometime.”
Feng Yuran reached out to flick the pages of the medical book, raised his eyebrows, and said evilly, “There were indeed a few precious unique books in the palace. But I don’t know where they have been after so many years. They seem to have disappeared. I wonder if someone likes medicine and took away those books.”
Mo Xuetong’s heart skipped a beat. She blinked her watery eyes, suddenly moved closer to him and asked, “Feng Yuran, tell me, do you know something?”
She didn’t intend to make puzzling remarks with him. This man was very sly, and it was rare for him to tell the truth in front of people. If she didn’t ask him directly, he would be willing to beat around the bush with her until she got lost.
“Hahaha…” Feng Yuran laughed out loud when he saw she pouted and looked adorable. He threw the book in his hand onto the ground, hugged Mo Xuetong with both hands and rolled on the pillow beside him. He put on an evil smile on his handsome face. He raised his pretty eyes and said, “Oh, Tong’er, what do you want to know?”
“Is there another person in the capital who has learned medicine, and his medical skill is not much inferior to Bai Yihao’s?” Mo Xuetong was a little dizzy because of his rolling. She pushed him hard, gritted her teeth and asked the question in her heart.
She had been suspecting that apart from Bai Yihao, there was another person who had learned medicine in the capital and had excellent medical skills. First, it was about Mo Xueqiong. Mo Xueqiong had been disfigured then and Feng Yulei did not like her. However, no matter what, she was a second consort of the royal family, and she was given to Feng Yulei by Emperor Zongwen as punishment.
As long as she behaved herself, Feng Yulei would not dare to vent his anger on her!
You Yue’e naturally knew about this as well! The Emperor had no family affairs, and the same could be said of the princes. There was a strong connection between the back courtyard and the court. You Yuecheng was clear about what happened to Feng Yulei and the fact that Mo Xuetong had been plotted against. How could You Yue’e not know that Mo Xueqiong had become her husband’s second consort because of the Emperor’s anger? How would she dare to really kill Mo Xueqiong and cause trouble?
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for Mo Xueqiong to put all her eggs in one basket.
She had framed Mo Xuetong, which meant that she would never appear as King Yan’s second consort in the future. Given Mo Xueqiong’s character, how could she be willing to live a life in the dark for the rest of her life? What was it that made her do this at all costs? Mo Xuetong thought over it and felt that she should a.n.a.lyze it from her appearance.
Before Mo Xueqiong was disfigured, she could be considered a pretty girl. She had always thought highly of herself. After her appearance had been ruined, even though she had become Feng Yulei’s second consort, she did not win Feng Yulei’s favor. She would definitely blame it all on her disfigured face. She would do anything as long as someone told her that he could help her restore her appearance.
Mo Xueqiong had always been selfish. As long as it was beneficial to her, she would do her best to do it regardless of whether it was harmful to others or not. Furthermore, she had been disfigured at that time, and she must think that it was Mo Xuetong’s fault. If someone had given her hope and told her that she could regain her looks and live happily in the future, there was nothing that Mo Xueqiong did not dare to do.
However, that was on the premise that Mo Xueqiong acknowledged that person’s medical skills. Even though Mo Xueqiong was not smart, she was a person who would not act rashly until she got the purpose. Furthermore, after each failure, she would be a little smarter. From this point of view, there should be a doctor in the capital, who was highly skilled in medicine and even could restore the face of a disfigured person.
The appearance of another person also proved this—Yu Sirong. The disfigured Yu Sirong had appeared in the capital, and there was not even a single trace of scar on her face. Mo Xuetong knew Yu Sirong’s injuries best. Those two sharp stones had left scars on her face and they had ruined her last life.
In her past life, she had looked for all the famous doctors in the capital and asked many people to see the scars on her face. Everyone loves beauty. Moreover, she had bent wholeheartedly on winning Sima Lingyun’s heart at that time. How could she be willing to face the person she liked with that kind of appearance? However, everyone shook their heads and said that the wound could not be cured and it was inevitable that it would leave scars.
In this life, Yu Sirong’s injury was even worse than hers. An injury like that should be impossible to repair. However, Yu Sirong was cured. Did this mean that Mo Xueqiong had made up her mind to frame her and Yu Sirong appeared in King Yan’s Manor all because there was a mysterious and masterly doctor hidden in the capital?
And this person was Mo Xuetong’s enemy!
“There should be such a person. Be careful when you go out.” Feng Yuran loosened his arms around her slender waist and leaned over to carefully put her aside. He put his elbow on the couch and looked at her. He felt as if he was holding her in his arms. A hint of gentleness crept over the corners of his eyes. “It’s the same in the Southern Barbarian Lands. Both Princess Caifeng and Hu Qianyue are from the Southern Barbarian Lands. You have to be careful when you go to the banquet and don’t use anything casually.”
Mo Xuetong could sense the strangeness of the Southern Barbarian Lands from the string of necklace of South Pearls. The box deserved to be called Duo La. It would be a disaster if it was opened. Fortunately, the box had been kept by Xieyue. Otherwise, something bad might have happened.
Speaking of the Southern Barbarian Lands, Mo Xuetong turned her attention to the banquet held by Princess Caifeng. She pulled the silk ribbon on Feng Yuran’s belt and wrapped it around her hands. Then, she raised her charming face, her eyes as clear as water. “In a short period of time, Princess Caifeng will marry Feng Yuzhen. Our Sixth Princess will also marry the Third Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands. In the future, one of them will stay in the Qin Kingdom and the other will stay in the Southern Barbarian Lands forever. Is Princess Caifeng welcoming the Sixth Princess?”
Princess Caifeng welcomed the Sixth Princess?
Feng Yuran smiled lazily and reached out to lift her chin. “Are you so mischievous?”
Mo Xuetong blinked her watery eyes and pretended to be confused. “Isn’t it right? One of them has just come to the Qin Kingdom. It’s a welcoming banquet!”
“But isn’t it more suitable for the Sixth Princess to invite Princess Caifeng? The Sixth Princess is the master,” Feng Yuran asked, pretending to be confused. There was an evil look in his eyes. His handsome face made it hard for others to look at him, as if he were glowing. Mo Xuetong’s heart could not help but beat faster when she looked at him.
This devilish man always put on a seductive look on his face. No wonder after Princess Caifeng saw him, she could not help but attack her and wanted to steal her position as Consort Xuan. She glared at him viciously and pouted, “You are indeed good at making plans for Princess Caifeng. You know that she has suffered a loss. You are going to seek justice for her now!”
After that, Mo Xuetong was so embarra.s.sed that she lowered her head.
Feng Yuran was stunned when he heard that. Then, he looked at Mo Xuetong’s increasingly red face and even lifted her head up. He said curiously, “Tong’er, you are jealous of Princess Caifeng. Why weren’t you jealous a few days ago? Why are you jealous today? You acted a little slowly. I really don’t understand!”
“I’m not jealous at all. I’m just asking why the Sixth Princess doesn’t hold the banquet, but Princess Caifeng is going to hold it.” Mo Xuetong was embarra.s.sed by what he said. Then, seeing him looking at her with a teasing look in his eyes, she pretended to be serious and pushed his hand away, as if she was talking about something serious.
However, her coquettish and shy look was not convincing at all!
Feng Yuran knew that if he continued to tease her, she would definitely become angry from embarra.s.sment. He immediately stopped and coaxed her. “Oh, let’s get down to business. If Princess Caifeng holds the banquet in Feng Xuehe’s stead, what would Feng Xuehe do according to her temper?”
“On the surface, the Sixth Princess, of course, will appear educated, reasonable, elegant and gracious. She and Princess Caifeng are both the princesses who are going to marry into another country. Now they are in the territory of the Qin Kingdom. As a well-educated and reasonable princess, she should show some kindness to the princess who has come from afar.”
Mo Xuetong thought about it and responded softly.
“What else?” Feng Yuran asked, leading her to think as a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips. A strand of black hair had fallen on her pink cheek because of the horseplay and he reached out to push it behind her ear.
His delicate movements and his dedicated expression made it seem as if there was nothing more important than this. Mo Xuetong blushed and lowered her head. She felt sweet as if she had eaten honey. She tugged at the corner of his clothes subconsciously and did not dare to look at him.
In order to distract her attention, she continued to a.n.a.lyze, “The Sixth Princess will definitely attend Princess Caifeng’s banquet this time. Not only will she attend it, but she also has to show how educated and reasonable she is. Although the banquet is hosted by Princess Caifeng, the Sixth Princess has to accompany her to the end, so that people will say that the Sixth Princess is elegant and generous when they talk about how hospitable Princess Caifeng is.”
The Sixth Princess and Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen were both good at acting. This kind of person had endured for such a long time, so they would not leave a subject for ridicule because of a small thing. The Sixth Princess might haven’t expected that Princess Caifeng would suddenly hold a banquet. But now that she knew it, of course, she had to think of a way to deal with it, or she would be at a disadvantage.
That was to say, the Sixth Princess would definitely attend Princess Caifeng’s banquet. Coincidentally, Mo Xuetong had always been suspicious of the Sixth Princess. Princess Caifeng’s banquet would not be held for no reason. Miss Hu Qianyue must have been involved in it. This was good. Mo Xuetong would observe them secretly while they were fighting.
Feng Yuran caressed her head dotingly and said softly, “When you go there, you can only watch aside. Don’t get involved.” A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes but Mo Xuetong couldn’t see it. He knew about it very well, so he didn’t want her to get involved in it. She just needed to watch from the side so as not to put herself in danger.
“But what if they drag me in like what happened in the Mingguo Manor last time?” Mo Xuetong’s heart had softened when she heard that he was concerned about her. However, she continued to ask stubbornly.
“I’ll be there for you.” There was a trace of coldness in his lazy voice. Obviously, he was angry.
“Got it. I’ll just watch from the side this time, alright?” A charming smile appeared on Mo Xuetong’s face. She leaned against him and said in a gentle and sensible voice. Anyway, the Southern Barbarian Lands was very sinister and she did not dare to act rashly. She would just wait and see how Hu Qianyue and the Sixth Princess would fight. It was impossible for Princess Caifeng to marry into King Xuan’s Manor now, and the manor had nothing to do with the Sixth Princess. It could be said that they did not have anything to do with the matter at all. It was the perfect time for Mo Xuetong to watch the show.
She was not interested in acting with them at this moment…
