06 Consort Tao is Pregnant, Feng Xia Qi is Imprisoned

The night Lan You Nian left the capital, news traveled out of the imperial palace saying Consort Tao was pregnant!

All these years, Emperor Feng Xuan hasn’t had another child nor has there been news traveled out of the palace that a consort was pregnant. Hence, the news of Consort Tao’s pregnancy divided people into two kinds. Feng Xia Qi’s faction was worried while some ministers and such people wanted to ingratiate themselves with Consort Tao. His Majesty’s favor wasn’t to be faked. Additionally with Consort Tao’s pregnancy, who doesn’t know of it in Feng empire?

As for Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan when they received the news, they had no reaction. For them, much less that Consort Tao was pregnant, even if Consort Tao gave birth to a prince, there wasn’t too much of a threat to them. Besides, there was something huge they held over her. For this Consort Tao to be so fearless, Feng Xia Qi didn’t know if he should say this Consort Tao was daring or the support she relied on was too strong.

Emperor Feng Xuan, when he learned of this news, was excited. Not only did he reward many things to Consort Tao, he assigned many imperial physicians to Peach Palace in order to take care of the child in Consort Tao’s belly.

That night when Feng Xuan rested in Peach Palace, he was very considerate with Consort Tao. This was his first child after so many years, how could he not be happy? Looking at Consort Tao’s face and thinking of the child in her belly, Feng Xuan was in a good mood. So that night when Consort Tao mentioned holding a banquet the next day and invited some people to feast, the meaning was obvious: to bury the hatchet with the Crown Prince. She was going to be a mother so she wished the Crown Prince would be able to accept her.

Hearing Consort Tao’s suggestion, Feng Xuan was gratified by Consort Tao’s consideration and sensibility. He directly passed down a decree to have the Crown Prince and others to come to Peach Palace to congratulate Consort Tao’s joyful news. But Feng Xuan’s actions made many of the ministers displeased. No matter how favored Consort Tao was, she was a mere consort. If a consort was pregnant, it was good enough to let those matrons come into the palace to congratulate her. Now even the Crown Prince and other titled princes must come into the palace, wasn’t this slapping the Crown Prince in the face? Many ministers felt Consort Tao was a seductive woman; otherwise how come after so many years the Emperor looked at women with disinterest, how could he value this Consort Tao so greatly? But no matter how dissatisfied the ministers were, they were helpless. The son of heaven wasn’t one who they could defame.

The second day, Feng Xia Qi, Yue Bai Lian, Feng Shao Chu, as well as the matrons of ministerial families entered the palace. As for Feng Yi Xuan, why would he go?

But when Feng Yi Xuan learned the news that Consort Tao miscarried and Feng Xia Qi was confined by Emperor Feng Xuan. Though this news was sealed off, people only learned Consort Tao miscarried by accident, unknowing of the news the Crown Prince was confined.

“You didn’t ask for the whole story?” Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan disbelievingly. Something like this happened, yet he didn’t go look for Feng Xia Qi or Bai Lian to ask and directly left the capital?

“En!” Feng Yi Xuan nodded honestly. When he learned of the news, he merely glanced over it before putting it down and came to pick up Nian Nian. As for imperial brother’s matters, it can wait till Nian Nian came back to handle it; otherwise, he won’t be in the mood.

“Uh, that’s your imperial brother! Something’s happened to your imperial brother yet you ran out of the capital to pick me up. If Brother Xia Qi were to know, he’d be angered to death!” Lan You Nian helplessly rubbed her forehead. Why was her man so adorable?

“Imperial brother isn’t that weak. If this small matter can harm him, there’s no need for him to live!” Feng Yi Xuan’s tone was cold. This matter was all due to Feng Xia Qi not handling matters properly and allowed Consort Tao to scheme against him. Besides, Feng Yi Xuan knew Feng Xia Qi wasn’t as gentle as he seemed on the outside, so he wasn’t worried.

“We should hurry back. I fear Bai Lian will be worried!” Lan You Nian said, regarding their foot speed as if they were taking a stroll. She didn’t have such good mentality as Feng Yi Xuan. It’s about time to deal with this Consort Tao. And it’d be best if it could take a strike at Feng Xuan at the same time.

Though Feng Yi Xuan wanted to spend time alone with Nian Nian under the moonlight, considering the cold temperature of night will chill Nian Nian, and seeing Nian Nian’s worry, Feng Yi Xuan clamped his thighs on the belly of the horse and speedily returned to the capital.

Once Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan entered the capital, Lan You Nian had Feng Yi Xuan accompany her to Crown Prince Manor. Sure enough, upon entering Crown Prince Manor, they saw Yue Bai Lian has yet to sleep as she stood anxiously in the front hall. When she saw Lan You Nian, she seemed to have encountered her pillar of support, as if everything will be taken care of if Lan You Nian was there. From their daily interactions, she’s already become family and friends with Feng Xia Qi. Now something’s happened to Feng Xia Qi, she was more worried than anyone else.

“Nian’er!” Yue Bai Lian ran over to Lan You Nian and only stopped her footsteps when she saw the dark-faced Prince Ming, and slightly nodded her head, “Prince Ming!”

Lan You Nian held Yue Bai Lian’s hand and pulled her over to sit, not sparing a glance to Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes that were emitting a chilling cold and the hostility towards Yue Bai Lian. From Yue Bai Lian’s pale lips, Lan You Nian could tell she was extremely worried, so she poured a cup of water as she asked, “What’s happened?”

Maybe because of the comfort of Lan You Nian’s voice, Yue Bai Lian was much calmer as she took a sip of the water, “We went into Peach Palace to congratulate Consort Tao on her pregnancy. Over the course of the day, everything was fine but halfway through, as everyone was prepared to go see the peach blossoms in Peach Palace, Consort Tao who was walking beside Xia Qi suddenly fell. From a different angle, it looked like it was Xia Qi who pushed her. In the process, Consort Tao miscarried. In the end, Imperial father came to the palace, dispersed all the idlers and then took Xia Qi into custody. I was then sent back to Crown Prince Manor!”

“Take a rest. Rest assured, nothing will happen to Brother Xia Qi!” Lan You Nian called over a servant girl and had her take Yue Bai Lian to rest; otherwise, Yue Bai Lian will fall over with sickness before something happens to Feng Xia Qi.

Feng Yi Xuan blocked the cold tea that Lan You Nian had at her lips and poured a warm cup of water for her, “Where do you want to go?” Looking at Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan she temporarily didn’t want to go back to rest. He was more than happy to take her anywhere.

“Let’s go see Brother Xia Qi!” Lan You Nian said. Since they’ve returned, they must go take a look. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan must know where Feng Xia Qi was imprisoned. There’s no need to doubt because Feng Yi Xuan was this capable.

Feng Yi Xuan sat there motionless, looking at Lan You Nian grievously, “I haven’t seen you for two days. As soon as you came back, you busy about for other people and neglect me!” Remembering that Nian Nian hasn’t gone back to sleep with him nor has he yet to hug Nian Nian’s fragrant and soft body, Feng Yi Xuan was extremely dissatisfied.

“You’re jealous?” Lan You Nian giggled and came over to Feng Yi Xuan to sit on his lap, fiddling with Feng Yi Xuan’s black hair, “That isn’t other people, that is your imperial brother, your family. I shouldn’t go look?”

For Nian Nian to take the initiative to enter his embrace, Feng Yi Xuan was overjoyed but still grievous, “Imperial brother is other people!”

“Then who isn’t other people? “Lan You Nian was humored. Why does she feel like Feng Yi Xuan became jealous much easier? He now not only defended against men, a lot of time he even stayed alert against women, really so petty. But then again, wasn’t she just as petty?

“I’m not other people. Nian Nian isn’t other people. Other people are other people!” Feng Yi Xuan possessively bit down on Lan You Nian’s neck. Lan You Nian shuddered but the one who was suffering wasn’t Lan You Nian but Feng Yi Xuan. He merely took a look at Nian Nian’s pure white clavicle yet it gave rise to his desires. Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly pushed back his desires, picking up Nian Nian and used qinggong to race to the palace. Otherwise, he can’t guarantee he won’t take Nian Nian back to the manor to battle it out.

Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to a palace hall. This was Feng Xia Qi’s previous palace, where he lived before he had his own residential manor. It had a luxurious atmosphere. It was only unfortunate that there were many guards standing guard outside.

Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into the palace hall in a flash. Those guards only believed a gust of wind flew by, unknowing that someone already entered and that person was hugging a woman as he entered.

“You guys came!” Feng Xia Qi wasn’t surprised as he saw the two appear in the palace. Glancing at the still icy cold younger brother and the still beautiful as a celestial maid Lan You Nian, his smile became much more genuine.

“Looks like you aren’t anxious at all!” Feng Yi Xuan found a comfortable soft chaise and sat down with Lan You Nian.

Feng Xia Qi looked as the two as if they only came here to play, helplessly saying, “Aren’t there you two? What do I have to fear? My imperial younger brother won’t neglect your imperial older brother right?”

“Xuan really had this plan. He came to Qing Hui Town to pick me up!” Lan You Nian shot Feng Xia Qi a sympathetic look, the meaning obvious: you were imprisoned yet your younger brother came to pick me up.

“What?” Feng Xia Qi wailed aggrieved, “Sure enough, what younger brother isn’t reliable. I want to go back to find Bai Lian!”

“Haha!” Lan You Nian burst into giggles in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms. Feng Yi Xuan revealed a smile. After, Feng Yi Xuan asked, “What happened? You pushed Consort Tao?”

“I did!” Feng Xia Qi didn’t deny it, “But it was schemed by Consort Tao. When we stood up, Consort Tao came over to my side and I didn’t overthink but I didn’t expect Consort Tao that slut to shamelessly stroke me with her hand. I was enraged and threw her off and she naturally used my force to fall down, creating the illusion it was I who pushed her. When imperial father heard everyone’s testimony, I was imprisoned here!”

Lan You Nian was stunned by Feng Xia Qi’s words. She didn’t expect this Consort Tao to dally with Feng Xia Qi. Though there was a reason, it was still shocking. Sleeping the old man and then going to dally with the son, Lan You Nian felt Feng Xuan wore a big green had on his head.

“It looks like we must get rid of Consort Tao as fast as possible. In order to protect your innocence!” Lan You Nian joked playfully.

“En!” Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi nodded. They’ve already made preparations. It would only take an instant to deal with Consort Tao but they felt Lan You Nian’s idea was pretty good. They would not only take care of Consort Tao, it would be a blow to imperial father. That man didn’t deserve their respect.
