Chapter 377 King Ning and Consort Yu Had a Tryst in the Parlor
Wang Xiuxiu was very angry, clenched her fist, and almost screamed out.
Her beautiful face turned livid and twisted, her forehead vein bulging. Her horrible look of gritting her teeth and glaring with vicious eyes made the maidservant kneeling down on the ground shiver.
“You said he wouldn’t come?” Wang Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and asked, stressing word by word. She only felt a smell of blood welled up to her throat. Her forehead was sweating, and her abdomen dwelled. Twinges of pains struck her. But for a strong spirit supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
“King Ning said he was very busy and had no time to see Your Highness. When the little new master is born, he will figure out a means to get the little master out.” The maidservant answered in a trembling voice, the beads on her forehead rolling down.
The whole air seemed to be frozen by ice, and even the breathing became heavy and cold.
“No time? When the little new master is born? Figure out a means?…”
When had he said no time to her before? Her memories were all about his soft and warm face. Every time they met, he would hold her in his arms and spoke to her in a gentle voice. As long as she wanted to see him, he would think of ways to come regardless of wind and rain and never stopped, because she was the only one whom he loved in his heart and would never betray.
The once-sweet solemn oath of eternal love now turned into sharp swords to cut her heart. How sweet it used to, how much it hurt now…
Now, did he completely abandon her? Did he not want her any longer?
Waiting till she gave birth to the little master? Was it a son? If not, the means meant no means. The King Yan’s Manor was not a common place. How could he figure out means? As a matter of fact, King Ning did not care about Wang Xiuxiu and the baby in her belly at all. The excuse was made to alienate their relationship!
She hated, hated to the extreme…
If she had known he was so fickle, she would not have acted willfully, let alone giving herself totally to him, and then, she would not come to the situation where she was disdained in the King Yan Manor and had no chance to approach King Yan. But King Ning was able to marry Wang Yueyue, that b**ch, enjoying a happy life from now on.
No, this was not true. This must be not true. Wang Xiuxiu thought she must see Feng Yuzhen and make it clear to him in person. No matter how it would develop, she must stay in the King Ning Manor. And Wang Yueyue could go to the King Yan’s Manor. King Yan would definitely not say anything, as a woman who conceived another man’s child was replaced by a real virgin.
“Yes, yes, it will work. It is the best means,” Wang Xiuxiu thought, “As long as I tell this means to Feng Yuzhen, he will definitely agree with me. After all, I still conceive his child. Doesn’t he say he wants the child?”
Wang Xiuxiu looked more excited, as if she had found a way out of her muddled and complicated thoughts. She got a bit frenzied, patted her belly with trembling hands, and asked anxiously, “Where is he now? Is he still receiving guests outside?”
“His Highness is not receiving the guests now. I saw a palace maid looking for him and him following her to a parlor on the other side, the one beside the bridal chamber.” The maidservant was afraid of being beaten for not finding King Ning, so she had been staring at Feng Yuzhen and tried to find a chance to talk to him more. And she happened to see him following a palace maid there.
She roughly understood the layout of the King Ning’s Manor, since she had followed Wang Xiuxiu here several times.
“Who is he going to meet?” Wang Xiuxiu couldn’t wait to go to the left, because there was a path closer to the parlor off the beaten track.
Seeing Wang Xiuxiu about to run, the maidservant stood up in a hurry, helped her to the path, and answered, “It was Consort Yu from the palace. But it’s said that she feels her belly uncomfortable, so she takes a rest there.”
Since the emperor’s concubine was uncomfortable, didn’t she come to find the imperial doctor? Why did she find King Ning? Wang Xiuxiu felt subconsciously something strange, but she was too frenzied to think about more, but she just wanted to see Feng Yuzhen as soon as possible.
She held her belly with one hand and the maidservant with the other and came there in a hurry. In any case, Wang Xiuxiu would see him. She felt a sore pain on her belly and heavy feet, even sweat began oozing on her forehead. But she did not care and was only eager to see Feng Yuzhen immediately and believed that he would definitely agree with her proposal, for sure…
She had a bad feeling in her heart that if she missed the chance this time, the two would miss each other forever this life.
She hurried over to the parlor and silently went through a small door behind the parlor.
In the main room of the parlor, Consort Yu was winningly lying on Feng Yuzhen and kissing him with great affection. They kissed rather fervently, and Feng Yuzhen hugged her tightly. They cuddled each other, and the palace maid had retreated simply.
After a long while, their lips separated…
“Your Highness, congratulations to you. You can have a beautiful consort and enjoy a happy life from now on.” Consort Yu said in an affectedly sweet voice, as she held Feng Yuzhen’s hands which were running wildly on her.
“It sounds rather acid. Are you jealous?” Looking at the tender and enchanting woman in his arms at his mercy and thinking that the woman was the Emperor’s woman, Feng Yuzhen was in an excellent mood, hugging her more tightly and kissing her. Then, he asked with a satisfied smile.
“I am conceiving your son, and you just marry another woman. Your Highness, don’t you think you are too fickle?” Consort Yu grumbled in a flirtatiously disobedient way. Although she was pregnant, her belly was a bit but not obviously bulging, and her fascinating charm was more seductive than those verbally-decent ladies.
Thinking of their first tryst in the Cining Palace where they had sex willy-nilly, Feng Yuzhen did feel something changing in his body and simply kissed her more. And he said vaguely, “Don’t worry. When our goal is accomplished, you will stay with me. At that time, the baby in your belly, perhaps, will be…”
Stunned, Consort Yu mumbled unconsciously and took a few breaths, then she said, “Now, not only I conceive a baby. I heard that that woman also conceives a baby. Your Highness, will you get her in later? If so, I will have no advantage at that time.”
After saying that, she pushed Feng Yuzhen’s head on her chest with a grievance.
“How can she compare to you? Even though she gives birth to a baby boy, I will not get him from King Yan. Besides, she has been in the manor for so many days. Who knows what had happened between her and Feng Yulei? Feng Yulei has been restrained in his Manor, and perhaps she has been doing the wild things with him every day. What a torn and tattered woman! I will not want her even if she is given to me!” Feng Yuzhen only had Consort Yu in his eyes. In order to trick Consort Yu into setting on to him, he belittled Wang Xiuxiu as a worthless person casually.
At the window, Wang Xiuxiu turned livid at the remarks, her teeth biting into the lip and her fingers clenching into fists. Her eyes almost cracked with fury, and her chest heaved violently.
“Your Highness, did you mean me?” Consort Yu grumbled in a flirtish manner.
“How come? You are different from her. After you conceive my child, you have kept your integrity and never served the Emperor. I know that. So you are true to me in my heart, totally different from the licentious woman. With her temperament, she will immediately climb into Feng Yulei’s bed at his beckon.”
Feng Yuzhen stuck his head out of Consort Yu’s arms. Looking at her displeased face, he conciliated her in a gentle voice immediately. As for the baby in Consort Yu’s belly, he had pinned great expectations on him, because the baby would become another defense for his ambition. He would do all he could to safeguard the baby, as he could have chances to fight for the throne by the right of Consort Yu’s son.
At that time, he only needed to fully support the newly-born prince, and help the prince to the throne, and Feng Yuzhen himself could be the prince regent in charge of the affairs of state. So what’s the difference between the prince regent and the Emperor? And after some time, he would transit the throne smoothly, which was not a difficult thing. Therefore, as for Consort Yu, Feng Yuzhen not only caressed her as possible as he could but also made her set on to him. That was why Feng Yuzhen tried every means to coax her.
So when he heard that Consort Yu came over, he still didn’t hesitate to come to see her even if he knew today was his wedding day and it was unwise to leave, because he was afraid that Consort Yu would think too much and would make a fuss. Women were too jealous, and so was Wang Xiuxiu.
Today was his wedding day, but he could not allow any misunderstanding to grow in the woman’s heart. After all, he needed to rely on her in the palace. Most importantly, Feng Yuzhen quite understood how important the child in her belly was, especially when he could use Consort Yu and she could help him to do something later which his grandmother could not do for him openly.
“Your Highness, you treat me so well!” Hearing Feng Yuzhen pacifying her so patiently and thinking that he sneaked to see her on his wedding day, she thought he only loved her in his heart and sweetness welled up from her heart, as if the whole heart were soaked in the honeypot. And her voice became delicately prettier. She twisted herself in his arms and sent her body deliberately into Feng Yuzhen’s hands.
“Why not accept the woman sent to me?” Feng Yuzhen squeezed her gently with deep love in his eyes. Then, he reached out his hands to put on her titled close well and said softly, “You are pregnant now. We should be more careful. Don’t hurt yourself. There are so many years ahead of us. We have abundant time to be together later.”
Seeing that he was so affectionate with a worried look and hearing he said so many years ahead, Consort Yu felt her heart melted for him and thought her life was full to get his love. Although the Emperor was in his prime of life, he could not still compare to young and handsome Feng Yuzhen. A woman was more willing to marry a younger and handsome man.
“Your Highness, I will listen to you.” Consort Yu said softly and stood up to let him put on her clothes well. Looking at him soothing the pleats on her clothes carefully, she broadened into a smile with moved tears in her eyes, only thinking that it was worthwhile that she could meet Feng Yuzhen this life, even if she would die for him.
“You are the only woman in my heart. No matter whether I have children with other women in the future, you must remember what I said today.” Seeing Consort Yu was moved with tears, Feng Yuzhen stood up, held her into his arms, and kissed her gently on the forehead with a serious and gentle look.
It seemed as if he were vowing, so gently and warmly, together with his handsome face and affectionate eyes, which all made Consort Yu nestle against his arms softly.
Since Consort Yu had been coaxed successfully, Feng Yuzhen thought of the time and found it was a bit late, for he could not leave the banquet for too long, and someone would find the groom. So he gently disengaged himself from her, about to say he was going to leave, and a chilly voice rang. “Feng Yuzhen, you’ve said that I was the only woman in your heart. You’ve said you will make me the Empress in the future. You’ve said, everything from you will be my child’s in the future.”
That voice sounded familiar. That’s because she had whispered in his arms countless times!
The dark shadow flashed in front of Feng Yuzhen, and he had no time to think when Wang Xiuxiu came in, but just immediately disengaged himself from Consort Yu in time. Then, he was pushed down by the pouncing Wang Xiuxiu and felt his face ache. Before speaking anything, he heard Consort Yu screaming and he pushed Wang Xiuxiu away subconsciously to see what happened to Consort Yu, because the baby in Consort Yu’s belly was his hope, and nothing could happen to the baby!
With a bang, the door was kicked open. A large group of people stood at the door, staring at the room in a trance. A cold silence prevailed.
