Chapter 528 The So-called Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan

Ning Xueyan clearly knew that she was now

the consort of Prince Yi’s Manor. If she died of an attack, no matter whether Ao Chenyi liked her or not, he would investigate the case undoubtedly. No one could dare to confidently say that they had the ability to not let Ao Chenyi find their responsibility for the crime. If he found their responsibility, he would make a move even if he just aimed to save the reputation of Prince Yi’s Manor.

If he made a move, it would be possible that blood would be shed and people would die, so Ning Xueyan believed that even the emperor was afraid of Ao Chenyi. Then it was impossible for them to kill her with an attack. When thinking in this way, she found that apart from making her lose her status and ruining her reputation, they didn’t seem to have a second choice.

Due to this reason, it was not easy for them to destroy her because she was now the concubine of Prince Yi’s Manor. When she went out in normal times, maids and older female servants would protect her. If this was also related to Madam Ling, Ning Xueyan was a little clear about what this meant.

“I, your prince, heard that you burned your foot, Yan’er. What happened?” In the evening, Ao Chenyi appeared in the Pear Flower Garden.

Sitting on the couch at the window, Ning Xueyan had just removed her socks but had not clearly seen how many blisters were on her foot and hurriedly put her foot under her dress. When the teacup fell earlier, she did not feel the pain and only had a burning feeling for a few moments, but when she returned to her room just now, she felt so much pain, so she stripped off her socks, but she had not inspected her foot carefully.

When she looked up and saw Ao Chenyi coming in, she found that the ink-black robe made him look handsome and graceful with fierceness. The blood-red spider lily print embroidered on his robe seemed to begin to move as he walked. Besides, he had wide sleeves, a thin waist, and a beautiful face with evil charms, so it was fair to say that no matter where Ao Chenyi went, he was the key figure in the public eye.

But the key figure just meant that people saw his back, not that anyone could dare to look steadily at his matchless beautiful face.

Fortunately, Ning Xueyan did not care about it now. When she saw his eyes fall on the hem of her dress, she blushed. “Why are you here again, prince?”

“Is it that I can’t come to your Pear Flower Garden, Yan’er?” Ao Chenyi went to the couch extremely naturally, sat still, smiled lazily, and extended his hand. “Come here.”

“What do you want to do?” Ning Xueyan said on alert.

“What else do I want to do but put ointment on your foot? I heard that you smashed a teacup today. Tell me who offended you, and let me take you back and do a smash.” Ao Chenyi held her foot. As he pulled hard, Ning Xueyan could not hide the foot hidden under her dress anymore and her foot was instantly taken out.

“Prince, let me do it myself.” Ning Xueyan blushed and hurriedly wanted to cover her foot up.

“You do it? But you’ve made your foot look like this!” Ao Chenyi raised his eyebrows.

Ning Xueyan realized that his words suggested that he was unhappy, so she flapped her long eyelashes, looking at him with anticipation. Seeing that he didn’t give up and still held her foot, she had to helplessly surrender.

Feeling that Ning Xueyan was not stiff anymore, Ao Chenyi bowed his head in satisfaction. Seeing Ning Xueyan’s small, thin, nice, and exquisite foot that was so much like something made of white jade, he had tender affection in his heart, but when he saw these few blisters on her foot, the usual coldness appeared in his eyes.

“Don’t move. Let me put ointment on your foot, and then you tell me what happened.” Ao Chenyi held her foot and took down the scalding injury ointment on the table Lanning had asked Mother Ruan to bring here for her just now.

As soon as her foot was held by her big hand, a warm feeling entered her foot. Subconsciously, Ning Xueyan wanted to take her foot back, but her foot was in his big hand. As he spread the ointment lightly on it, a little cool feeling came to her foot, making Ning Xueyan feel so comfortable that she looked up at Ao Chenyi unconsciously.

Looking at him from her angle, she could just see his long eyelashes flapping, making two irregular shades on his beautiful face, but it was obvious that he was extremely serious. However, he was always evilly charming, wild, and fierce, giving others a feeling that he came from the dark nether world.

But at this moment, he gave others a feeling that he was extremely serious as if what he was serious about was not Ning Xueyan’s foot, but something quite precious.

With her face beginning to inexplicably burn again, Ning Xueyan changed to another subject. “Has any unusual person arrived in the capital? It is a man. He is a princely heir or something, and he looks dissolute and fools around with a few women from time to time, but his unshown power should be great. Prince, do you think such a person has recently appeared in the capital?”

This person was not Ao Xian because Ao Xian was a real libertine and he was useless, but this person was different. Although Ning Xueyan did not see him, she knew that the words he said in the end were enough to prove that he was not a man who could easily act crazily for a woman. This person should be someone of schemes, and he now stayed with Ning Yuling, so she felt the danger.

“You mean Mu Yunfei, the son of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan? He just came to the capital a while ago because he will attend Third Prince and Mu Ling’s wedding. Mu Ling is about to marry Third Prince, and he, the brother from her parents’ home, should come and send her trousseau off. The reason why he came a little earlier at this time was that he heard that the capital is prosperous and full of beautiful women.”

Ao Chenyi spoke as he put the ointment carefully on Ning Xueyan’s foot, and the light of shrewdness flashed in his thin, long eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head and had some quite evil charms and enchantment at the corners of his eyes. “What? He offended you?”

There was killing intent in his handsome eyes. Ning Xueyan saw it through, but she hurriedly shook her hands and said, “No, not me, but Ning Yuling. He seems to have hooked up with Ning Yuling, and Ning Yuling wants to deal with me, so I want to learn about the real information of the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan clearly.”

“Since he didn’t offend you, that’s fine. Otherwise, I would have had an itch to beat him! I don’t care if he acts like an overlord in Yunnan, but if he wants to harm my woman in the capital, I will let him leave here on a stretcher,” Ao Chenyi said with a mirthless smile. Although he was smiling, his voice was ice-cold.

This was a sign before he got angry. Ning Xueyan was shocked and held his hand hurriedly. “Don’t worry. He takes a fancy to Ning Yuling, and I’ll never have any connections with such people.”

When Ning Xueyan finished these words, her face had turned even redder. Her watery eyes glistened, and she was even a little too ashamed to look at him, for what she said did seem to promise him something. As if she was afraid that he did not believe her, she even especially said this by holding his hand. Now she let go of his hand hurriedly and picking up another subject randomly, said, “Compared with the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Annan, what do you think of the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan? I heard that the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Annan is truly capable.”

Recently, the relationship between Annan and the capital had been a little tense. Many people were talking about the Feudal Prince of Annan. It was said that the Feudal Prince of Annan was an important official of the previous dynasty in the past, but he surrendered to the new dynasty later. Since all his power was in Annan, the new emperor felt helpless and had to make him Feudal Prince of Annan, letting him manage all the affairs of Annan.

Of course, the reason for making him Feudal Prince of Annan was that his power was strong even at that time, so that the new emperor had no choice but to mainly resort to the appeasing strategy. Unexpectedly, after recuperating and building up strength for more than 10 years, now Annan began to move again, for it seemed to think that its relationship with the imperial court was bad again. There had been rumors in the capital that the Feudal Prince of Annan was going to rebel with his troops again.

For a while, everyone became most concerned about Annan’s news. Today Ning Xueyan had heard many people talk about the Feudal Prince of Annan, especially about his son, a man who was full of wisdom and strategy. Hoping to change the subject at this moment, she raised this question at random.

“Whether it is the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan or the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Annan, Yan’er, please remember, I am your husband.” Ao Chenyi put down the ointment in his hand, raised his thin lips slightly, and had banter and somewhat seriousness in his handsome eyes. When Ning Xueyan saw that, her heart trembled involuntarily and turned a little soft unconsciously.

“He is obviously arrogant and overbearing, and he is always the cold-blooded and unreasonable Prince Yi, but now he makes me feel that he is a little childishly quarrelsome!”

“I see,” Ning Xueyan said unhesitatingly, though she blushed and hung her head.

Held by a powerful arm, she fell into the familiar hard arms. Ao Chenyi stared at Ning Xueyan and her charming face, which was lowered slightly. Even if he had suddenly taken her into his arms just now, she would have only turned stiff slightly. Now she turned soft in his arms, making him clearly feel her tenderness.

His breathing suddenly became a bit rapid. He, who always had excellent self-control ability, felt that he could not control himself. First, his eyes fell on her snowy face and then the corners of her diamond-shaped lips, which were pink, tender, and captivating. When smelling her faint natural fragrance, he felt that his heart beat frantically but unconsciously a few times. “But she… is too young. The imperial physician says that bedding her at such a young age is harmful to her health, and I have to wait until she has her come-of-age ceremony.”

Sensing the heat of Ao Chenyi’s body, Ning Xueyan twisted her body uneasily, wanting to get a more comfortable way to lean against him.

“Don’t twist!” She was held tightly, and his usually ice-cold voice turned low and hoarse, with a little heat that made Ning Xueyan’s face turn red. Subconsciously, Ning Xueyan did not dare to move anymore, blushing and leaning close against his chest. Hearing his strong and powerful heartbeat, she felt that she had lost strength as if she had been softened by his heat.

“Alas, you are still too young!”

She heard a light sigh, which had some blazing temperature and a very light pampering feeling. If Ning Xueyan had not been listening attentively, she was afraid that she could not have heard it. When the sigh came into her ears, she then felt that she was about to burn, and she pushed him hard and asked seriously on purpose, “Prince, if I do something to Ning Yuling, the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan will not do something to me, will he?”

“He won’t dare! If he dares to do harm to my woman, he wants to die!” Ao Chenyi snorted coldly. “Do you want me to imprison him now so that he won’t be able to fool around with Ning Yuling?”

“No need now because I’m still waiting for Ning Yuling to make a show!” Ning Xueyan said hurriedly and pushed Ao Chenyi a bit, signaling to him that he was on the verge of pinching her foot.

“Without the Princely Heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan, Ning Yuling might not dare to act rashly, so just let her do it. Now she and I are not in the same mansion, and I can’t ask someone to keep an eye on her all the time. Since she wants to do something, let me give her a push. Now it is time to settle the revenge between me and Madam Ling and her daughter.”

“As you wish, as long as you don’t hurt yourself!”

When hearing his words, Ning Xueyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the indolence with a faint smile on Ao Chenyi’s unparalleled beautiful face. She found that there were coldness and affection in his usually bloodthirsty eyes. He was so cold toward love, but he treated her like this, so the strong defense in her heart was breaking bit by bit…
