Chapter 738 Something Weird Happened in the Lan Family’s Courtyard

Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen’s neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, “Don’t worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.”

“The old man won’t suspect us, will he?” Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried.

“Don’t worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can’t tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!” The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen’s handsome face, and she looked even more charming.

However, as the two of them were together, even though the Yan Empress was young, the faint crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden even with a thick layer of powder. She leaned into the arms of Bai Yichen, who looked much younger than her, soft as soap. It did not have any sense of beauty. As such, it was ridiculous for her to be so lovable and gentle.

Bai Yichen also felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, so he held her in his arms tightly so that he would not see the thick white powder on her face and she would not see the disgust in his eyes. “Have you not been sleeping with the old man these days?” he asked with concern.

“Are you jealous?” The Yan Empress was giggling up a storm, twisted in Bai Yichen’s arms and deliberately rubbed his body. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to mess with him. If he dies in my bed, I’ll get into trouble.”

All of their plans had been made, and the Emperor would die sooner or later. They didn’t dare to poison him, if Bai Yihao found out that the Emperor was poisoned, the two of them completely believed that Bai Yihao had the ability to trace it back to them. As such, they did not dare to act rashly. They could not use poison which was an obvious method to kill others.

Their method was more secretive and it was not easy to be noticed. If an Emperor was found to die in a woman’s bed, for the sake of the dignity of the royal family, instead of aggressively investigating, people would try to block the passage of information as much as possible. Even if they had some doubts, they would only investigate in secret.

The two of them did not do much in it. They had just ordered someone to instigate the Emperor to use some sex drugs when he slept with his consorts. No matter what, others would not be able to find out that they were the chief criminal. As they just did something in the medicine, no one could have imagined that the medicine the Emperor had volunteered to take had a fatal effect. It was not poison; it just contained too much analeptic. How long could an old Emperor, whose body had been weak, be able to hold on in such a situation?

“Yes, I’m jealous. Remember, you can’t sleep with him in the future!” Bai Yichen said in a very affectionate voice while he was secretly delighted. At this time, anyone who wanted to sleep with the Emperor could get into trouble. He didn’t want the Yan Empress to fail at the last moment. If Bai Yihao found any sign, it might lead to a great disaster.

His breath brushed past the Yan Empress’s ears. The tingling feeling made her speechless. She trembled all over and looked up to kiss Bai Yichen right on his lips. There was only his handsome face and affectionate eyes in her eyes. Her body turned into a puddle of spring water in his actions. She wrapped his arms tightly around Bai Yichen’s neck and tackled him!

She had been busy plotting for this period of time. Furthermore, because Bai Yihao had returned to the palace, she had been very careful and hadn’t met Bai Yichen privately for a long time. At this moment, her moves were hurried and fierce, causing Bai Yichen to be stunned. Then, disgust appeared in his eyes. However, he had no choice but to go along with her.

The matters of the harem were all in her hands. He had to serve her well before he could carry out his plans. He turned over forcefully and pressed her under his body...

When he became the Emperor in the future, he would get all kinds of beauties he wanted. At that time, no one would know the scandal between him and the old woman as long as he killed her. Bai Yichen decided that his life would never be controlled by an old woman like this one!

Watching the two of them rolling around, Feng Yuran could not help but marvel at how active his aunt was. As he sighed, he quickly covered Mo Xuetong’s eyes and retreated from the window. He held Mo Xuetong in his arms and appeared at a hidden corner on one side. His toes touched the ground as he flew past a tree in the dark corner like a wisp of smoke.

There was a courtyard among the thick trees. It was different from the surrounding buildings as it looked more ancient. Mo Xuetong was so careful that she found that there was an odd flower at the corner of the gate. Looking at it, Mo Xuetong felt her heart beat wildly for no reason. She felt a sharp prick in her head as if her head had been pricked by something.

Feeling that Mo Xuetong’s body was twitching, Feng Yuran loosened his hand slightly and whispered in her ear, “What’s wrong? Am I holding you too tightly?”

Mo Xuetong took a few breaths before lowering her voice to reply, “I’m fine.” She looked at the door again and the strange feeling disappeared. It was just an ordinary flower. The strange feeling just now seemed to be an illusion. If her fingers had not been clenched tightly, even she would have thought that it was just a momentary trance.

Fortunately, when she looked at it again, her heart didn’t beat fast anymore.

Feng Yuran calmed down when he saw that Mo Xuetong’s expression had returned to normal. Looking around at her surroundings, he entered a rockery by the side of the road with Mo Xuetong in his arms. “Wait here. I’ll go inside and take a look.”

“Is there the ancestral root of the Yuxiao Flower inside?” Mo Xuetong was very suspicious of it. She blinked her watery eyes in the dark and tugged on Feng Yuran’s sleeve. They were in the Yan Kingdom and she did not dare, afraid that he would make a mistake. She did not want him to take the risk for the sake of her poison that she did not know if it could be removed.

“Tong’er, are you worried about me?” The moonlight shone through the crack of the rockery and landed on the handsome face with a hint of coldness. Mo Xuetong’s face flushed slightly when she saw his eyes which held a bright smile. Then, she nodded forcefully and responded in a low voice, “Yes.”

The noble men dare not sit right under the eaves for fear of dropping tiles. With his status, he could get any kind of woman he wanted, but he was only willing to be good to her. There were many kinds of women in his backyard, but since she married into the manor, he had been ruthless to them. He had dealt with the backyard without bothering her at all.

Now she had been kidnapped, and he had followed her from over 500 kilometers away. Aside from the importance of the matter in his hands, Mo Xuetong felt that she could never repay him with her whole life. Therefore, even though she felt shy, she still nodded firmly. She was really worried about him.

“Tong’er.” Her slightly blushing face tempted Feng Yuran. The moonlight was like water and the woman was as beautiful as jade. Holding her warm and soft body and hearing her muttering, he felt his heart beat faster. However, it was not the proper time for him to be tempted at this point. He put her down in a hurry and kissed her in the ear, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve checked it out. I’ll come out soon. Stay here and don’t walk around.”

Even though she knew that he was not a reckless person, Mo Xuetong still reminded him worriedly, “Be... be careful!”

“I’ll be okay!”

Feng Yuran did not stay any longer this time. He turned around, and disappeared in front of Mo Xuetong with a flash.

The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that Mo Xuetong could not hear anyone’s voice. The wind blew and the leaves rustled, revealing a strange heaviness. She shrank back and was about to lean against on the clean rockery to have a rest when she suddenly heard someone’s voice from afar. A little spark was coming from a distance.

Someone came over at this time?

Mo Xuetong leaned over to look out of the cave in the rockery. As expected, there was a lamp coming from a distance. Two figures also slowly came over. Mo Xuetong was shocked to find that they were acquaintances. Nanny Qin was holding a lamp with one hand and held Princess Royal with the other. They appeared at this time in this place. Princess Royal’s face was as pale as snow; she seemed not to be in a good situation.

“Isn’t Princess Royal with Bai Yihao? Why is she here at this time without any guards around her? There is no one else except for Nanny Qin, the wet nurse.”

“Nanny Qin, take a rest. I really... can’t walk anymore?” Princess Royal’s face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Under the light, her face looked eerily green, which was very abnormal. Along the way, Nanny Qin was tired, but her tiredness was not as obvious as hers. Princess Royal was so weak that she almost couldn’t stand up.

“Your Highness, it’s up ahead. Please hang on. My elder said that if we can get help from the people inside, your life could be prolonged.” Nanny Qin was also very tired, but when she thought that there might be a way to save Princess Royal’s life, she held on and did not dare to loosen up.

Princess Royal’s illness had led to her imminent death. No wonder Nanny Qin appealed blindly for help!

An elder of her own family mentioned that the people of the ancient witch tribe lived here, they specially came over for help. Unexpectedly, when the elder took them here, they were dumped here. It all depended on luck whether Princess Royal’s illness could be cured.

Princess Royal took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Then she smiled weakly, “Nanny, the scholar said, Confucius taught his disciples to stay away from anything unusual. There is no way to prolong one’s life. Otherwise, no one in this world would die.” She really did not believe Nanny Qin’s elder’s words. However, when she saw how hard Nanny Qin was to help her, she could not bear to refuse her. As such, she just came over with her.

Nanny Qin helped Princess Royal to lean against the rockery and caught her breaths before saying, “Your Highness, it’s really useful. The books left behind by our Qin family have been passed down from generation to generation. In my generation, I don’t know which main branch has gotten them. However, it is a fact that the ancestors of the Qin family were also members of the ancient witch tribe at the very beginning. There was once a rumor that they were able to bring people back to life.” She was old and of course, she was not as strong as the young. She had been sustained by an act of faith, but when she stopped, she felt sore and tired.

“Where... where is this place?” Princess Royal smiled and no longer insisted on arguing with Nanny Qin. She looked around and frowned slightly.

“It’s said that this is the courtyard of the Lan family, an aristocratic family of the Yan Kingdom. I heard that there are descendants of the ancient witch here. I specially sent a few treasures to the butler here, so they allowed us to come over tonight. I heard that it is the best time to treat you at night,” Nanny Qin replied with a smile.

It was said that the descendants of the ancient witch lived in the Lan family’s courtyard, and they were able to bring a man back to life. Others did not believe this statement, but Nanny Qin believed it as the ancestors of the Qin family had left a legacy, saying that the descendants of the ancient witch could prolong people’s lives and that they could achieve it with some specific conditions.

Nanny Qin was very excited when she heard that. She immediately took out a few pieces of precious jewelry from Princess Royal and found someone to get to know the butler. That was why they could come here today.

Princess Royal’s pale face froze. She stood up, holding the rockery and asked harshly, “The Lan family’s courtyard?”

“Yes, it is said that the Lan family is as powerful as our Four Great Manors. They control the military force of the Yan Kingdom,” Nanny Qin said casually.

Princess Royal’s face darkened. Thinking for a moment, she cried out in shock, “Oh no, let’s go!”

After that, she turned around and held Nanny Qin to leave. However, with limp legs and a weak body, she almost tripped over the rockery on one side!

“What’s wrong, Your Highness?”

“There’s an ambush!” Princess Royal gritted her teeth and held Nanny Qin to get to her feet.

Nanny Qin was shocked. Before she could say anything, flames suddenly blazed all around. Someone said with a charming smile, “Sister, since you’re here, why don’t you come and see me? I’ve been missing you for so many years! I haven’t forgotten you for a moment!”
