Chapter 190 Being taken advantage of!
“Um…” The Ultra Seme Lord wanted to know how long she had deceived him, then give out a punishment as appropriate? Xia Yuqing’s inner person has already begun to scratch the wall.
Seeing Xia Yuqing’s face hesitate, Feng Tingye took a step closer to Xia Yuqing. Xia Yuqing was startled when she saw him moving. She took a step back reflexively.
Feng Tingye narrowed his eyes. He took another step forward, and Xia Yuqing took another step back. Thus, everytime one person took a step forward, the other would also take a step back. This happened until they both moved to the inner room.
It wasn’t until she seemed to be blocked by something behind her that Xia Yuqing realized that she had retreated and had reached a dead end.
“Zhen is asking you, when did you become today’s Xia Yuqing. Answer me.” Feng Tingye shouted, repeating the question just now.
Xia Yuqing was taken aback by Feng Tingye’s rare sternness. She pursed her lips, and replied somewhat disheartenedly: “Just…when Xia Yuqing first entered the palace, when she was accidentally knocked into the pool. After falling into the water and waking up, I was now who I am.”
“In other words, since we met for the first time, you were already like this?”
Xia Yuqing paused before hesitantly nodding.
Feng Tingye got the answer he wanted. This was a slight relief and he laughed: “It’s okay.”
“What?” Xia Yuqing’s heart went up and down. She heard Feng Tingye answer her with a somewhat rejoiced remark, so she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She looked up at Feng Tingye in surprise.
Feng Tingye couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and pinch Xia Yuqing’s dazed little face. He said with a faint smile: “Fortunately, it was before we met. Fortunately, Zhen’s feeling has always been right. You have always been you.”
Xia Yuqing’s little head was dumbfounded, she couldn’t react. The meaning of the Ultra Seme Lord…he always saw herself? The person he loves and wants to treat sincerely is herself?
“But… aren’t you scared? To be precise, I am not the little princess of Xia Kingdom. I am just a dove occupying a magpie’s nest with an unknown origin. I don’t even know if the modern me is dead or alive now. This kind of me…” Don’t you think it’s terrifying?
Feng Tingye was startled. He twisted his eyebrows as if thinking about the meaning of Xia Yuqing’s words. After seeing enough of Xia Yuqing’s cautious and pitiful appearance and only frowning earlier just to tease her, he said with a chuckle: “You and I have had two children. If you really think you are terrible, then aren’t the children we gave birth to even more terrifying?”
“They are not.” Xia Yuqing blurted out when she heard that.
Feng Tingye smiled: “So, you shouldn’t deny yourself in this way. Because if you deny yourself, it means denying them and the relations.h.i.+p between us.”
“Your Majesty…” Xia Yuqing was startled. She raised her head, and was just about to speak, when she felt a sudden heavy weight on her body. When she recovered, she had been overwhelmed on the bed by Feng Tingye.
“Your Majesty, you…” Xia Yuqing was about to say something when she was hugged tightly by Feng Tingye. Leaning his chin against Xia Yuqing’s shoulder, Feng Tingye hugged Xia Yuqing so hard that he wanted to crush her in his arms.
After a while, Xia Yuqing heard Feng Tingye breathe a sigh of relief: “Finally…”
“Huh?”
“Finally, you confessed to me in person.”
“!” Xia Yuqing was frozen. She stared at the person pressing on her with her eyes wide open. Does this mean the Ultra Seme Lord had long known her secret?
“Your Majesty…umm…” Xia Yuqing was about to raise her head to ask, when Feng Tingye took the first step to deprive her of her ability to speak.
When Xia Yuqing was dragged into the whirlpool of desire, Xia Yuqing’s last thought was…d*mn, didn’t we just do it last night? As expected, trying to speak to a beast about ghosts and supernatural stuff is like playing a piano to a cow (they can’t appreciate it). Her brain must have been squeezed by a door before to think this beast would let her go for such a boring reason. Ahhh, beast, let go, don’t touch me!
Maybe it was because they were going out tomorrow morning or maybe someone already had a good time playing last night, this time Feng Tingye finally knew what constraint was. He coaxed her after she screamed for half her life and only walked out of the room after a certain pet who was being difficult after learning the truth fell asleep. He was in a good mood and was ready to go out to get food for a certain someone who would probably be hungry after waking up. After all, Cui Er was not in the house now.
However, before he took two steps, his figure stopped abruptly, even the smile on his face was reduced a lot. He uttered in a low voice to a certain direction on the roof: “Since you’re here, come out.”
Before the words fell, a black shadow quickly rushed out from the corner of the room. It fell in front of Feng Tingye accurately, and said with a smile, “Wasn’t younger brother-in-law in a good mood just now? Why is your face so ugly now?”
“Because I saw you.” Feng Tingye said relentlessly. He stared at Hua Nongying’s eyes with inexplicable danger, “The business in the killer house must have been bleak recently, otherwise, how else can Hua Gongzi have so much leisure to travel around the mountains to bother people’s good matters?”
“Younger brother-in-law doesn’t want to see this person? It’s really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin (story where he releases a dog feeling concerned about it and gets bit for doing that), not knowing the good person.” Hua Nongying complained and complimented himself.
The corners of Feng Tingye’s mouth twitched when he looked straight at him and his gaze turned worse. Hua Nongying waited for a long time without getting Feng Tingye’s reaction. In the end, feeling a little bored, he coughed lightly: “The business of the killer house is important, but the life of Junior Sister is also very important.”
As Hua Nongying expected, when he said this, Feng Ting Ye’s calm expression immediately showed a few cracks.
Feng Tingye’s face was dark. He stared at Hua Nongying for a long time, then said quietly, “Someone wants to use you to do something to Ai Fei?”
Hua Nongying raised his hand and slid it down his hair in front. He smiled faintly: “It’s not through us, but it’s almost like that. A few days ago, when a killer in the killer house was performing a task, she accidentally found out that someone bought another a.s.sa.s.sin from another a.s.sa.s.sin’s building to confront Junior Sister. The a.s.sa.s.sin who was bought has been solved secretly by this person. As for the behind-the-scenes master of the a.s.sa.s.sin, I think you will be very interested to know who.”
Feng Tingye had a heavy face. He asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
Hua Nongying smiled pretentiously. Stretching out his hand to touch his lips, he chuckled: “It’s from the homeland of Junior Sister.”
Feng Tingye already had a guess in his heart, but was a little surprised when Hua Nongying said it himself. After a brief astonishment, Feng Tingye did not speak, but stared at Hua Nongying with his eyes.
Since this man has said it all, he must have done a good job of investigating the master behind the scenes.
Hua Nongying waited for a long time but didn’t see Feng Tingye asking anything more, so he felt more bored. He sighed. Recognizing his fate, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Tingye.
“This is the information on the person who bought the a.s.sa.s.sin who was going to trouble Junior Sister. I think, as a clever person like brother-in-law, you should know what to do with it, right?”
Feng Tingye took the scroll from Hua Nong Ying. He hastily scanned it. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a bit of killing intent gradually emerged from the bottom of his eyes.
After a while, Feng Tingye closed the scroll in his hand. He turned his head to look at Hua Nongying, and said sincerely, “Thank you.”
Hua Nongying was startled and laughed: “You’re welcome. After all, if you allow people outside to know that those little people who don’t have eyes can hurt this person’s Junior Sister, neither the face of this n.o.ble person nor the a.s.sa.s.sin building will look too good.”
Feng Tingye took a deep look at Hua Nong Ying. It can be concluded that this person has some empty words, but it was not clear. He nodded. Holding the scroll in his hand, he turned to leave.
Hua Nongying looked at Feng Tingye’s distant back. He looked up at the moonlight projecting from the top of his head and the corners of his lips twitched slightly. It seems that this continent is really going to be messed up. Now it’s going to be quite lively.
The moon was hung high, and the summer evening breeze gently brushed over the swaying tree shadows outside the courtyard, bringing a little coolness. The faint mist of the summer night gradually rose, blurring the flowers and plants in the courtyard. It also blurred the man who was smiling but not smiling standing at the end of the corridor.
Early the next morning, Xia Yuqing and the others set off when it was still dark as originally planned. The journey went smoothly. The only accident was…
When Xia Yuqing and the others were about to leave, they ran into someone who drank too much water before going to bed last night, Second Baby who got up to go to the outhouse with urgency and Eldest baby who accompanied Second Baby to the hut.
The trip planned was broken. Second Baby’s mouth collapsed. She hugged Xia Yuqing’s thighs and began to complain on the spot: “Mother is leaving Baby to go out as soon as she comes back? Mother must not like Baby anymore, ooh…”
“…”
“Baby also wants to go out with Mother to play together, ooh…”
“…” Baby, in fact, the last sentence of yours is the key point!
“Baby, Father and Mother are not going out to play, we are going out to do things. Baby be good, stay at home. Father and Mother will go out after doing things and come back to play with baby, okay?” Xia Yuqing persuaded her.
Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved Second Baby was surprisingly stubborn this time. She hugged Xia Yuqing’s thigh and said nothing.
In desperation, Xia Yuqing had to turn to Feng Tingye, who was nearby. Feng Tingye directly moved his gaze to Eldest Baby’s body. The meaning was clear, he was asking him to obediently take his sister away.
It’s a pity that this time even Eldest baby didn’t want to tell her that, “Father, Mother, my younger sister want to follow you so much, how can Er Chen have the heart to obstruct her? And…Er Chen also wants to go.”
In this place, I have to worry about being attacked by Grandma Wei every day. Moreover my younger sister is occupied by Grandma Wei all day long, she has no time to play with myself.
“Dudu, don’t misbehave!” Xia Yuqing whispered when she heard what Big Baby said.
Unexpectedly, Big Baby did not pay attention to her warning at all. A devilish smile was slightly raised on his round face: “If you don’t take us, we will tell Grandma Wei that our parents are not Uncle Shao and Aunt Yan, and that it is actually Father and Mother.”
“Pu…” You are ruthless! Xia Yuqing raised her middle finger in her heart to Big Baby who was becoming more and more like his beast Father. She secretly sighed. It is difficult to interact with brats, and it is even more difficult to engage with brats with high IQ.
At the end of the day, in order to avoid trouble and being in a hurry to go up the mountain early to find the person, everyone compromised. Thus, they took the two little buns on the road.
Xia Yuqing expressed frustration about being threatened by her own baby again, but this frustration did not last long.
Finally, being able to be honest and tell Feng Tingye the biggest secret in her heart, Xia Yuqing, who was unexpectedly happy, was extremely excited today.
The boulder that had been hanging in her heart for a long time finally fell, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. The bottom of her heart was excited by Feng Tingye’s reaction yesterday.
Sitting in the carriage, Xia Yuqing hugged Second Baby who had gone back to sleep. Her eyes eagerly stared at Feng Tingye. She stopped talking for a long time, but she didn’t stop moving.
Feng Tingye was watching Xia Yuqing since she got into the carriage and watched as she stared at himself with two big eyes that were almost as big as a ball. He couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s the matter?”
Xia Yuqing hearing Feng Tingye’s question and her eyes lit up. After considering it for a moment, she couldn’t wait to say: “When did Your Majesty know that Ai Fei was not the original Xia Yuqing?”
“Well…” Feng Tingye thought. He looked up at the sky, making a thoughtful look, but the corner of his eyes kept paying attention to Xia Yuqing’s expression. After leaving Xia Yuqing on suspense for a while, he expressed compa.s.sionately: “Since the beginning, but it was only a suspicion. I was only certain after Zhen brought up that thing at Royal Mothers that time…..”
“Royal Mother’s time?” Xia Yuqing thought about it carefully for a while, then realized, “Is that the time when the emperor asked who I was?”
Feng Tingye raised his eyebrows and nodded calmly: “Yeah.”
Xia Yuqing was puzzled: “Did I say something weird that time that made the emperor suspicious?”
She remembered that she was very well-rounded when she lied. Could it be that the wetnurse exposed something she didn’t know?
Feng Tingye smiled and touched Xia Yuqing’s shoulders with a smile. His slender fingers slid slightly below Xia Yuqing’s shoulders, causing Xia Yuqing to tremble all over. A natural feeling of wanting to squeeze oil on her feet came up. She shrank back reflexively, avoiding Feng Tingye’s touch.
The d*mn beast is in estrus again, regardless of time and occasion! Xia Yuqing moved back while holding the two small buns. Her face sank slightly, cursing secretly in her heart.
“It’s here, this is where it was showing a flaw.”
“Ga?” Feng Tingye’s words suddenly pulled Xia Yuqing back from her anger.
Feng Tingye raised his lips, “Do you remember, at that time, I said that I had sent people to Xia Country for investigation to find out that there was a pale blue b.u.t.terfly birthmark on the back of the little princess of Xia Country? I had said it was unique in the whole world and regarded as ominous by the Royal Family of Xia. Therefore, after seeing the birthmark on the back of your shoulder, I was a little strange and asked why has the temperament changed yet the birthmark is still there.”
“En, but at that time ……” She was able to reason and cover for herself. At that time, the Ultra Seme Lord seemed to have accepted her explanation. Could it be that something went wrong?
After Feng Tingye appreciated enough of Xia Yuqing’s frustration and confusion, he compa.s.sionately revealed the truth: “Actually, that was… all to trick you.”
“Huh?” Xia Yuqing was taken aback. She looked up blankly.
Feng Tingye leaned against the car window with one hand and lightly touched his chin, “All of that was false. It is true that the little princess of Xia Country was not treated well due to her biological mother. There have also been rumors that she was a sign of a disaster, that is also true. However, the blue b.u.t.terfly birthmark and the like were all fake. The small princess from Xia Country has no birthmarks at all on her body.”
“!” Are you f*cking kidding me? ! So all those things that she spoke about so eloquently at first, actually caused her suffering like this? She had racked her brain to lie, and it turned out to be a pretense?!
Feng Tingye greeted Xia Yuqing’s glaring gaze. The smile on the corner of his lips deepened, “Who told Ai Fei to try to make things up? Zhen didn’t expect that Zhen would just casually talk about that and Ai Fei would make up a series of interesting explanations with a guilty conscience. This made Zhen not even have the most basic sense of accomplishment.”
“…” Then I’m really sorry!
Xia Yuqing glared at Feng Tingye with a gloomy look, annoyed. Then she suddenly seemed to think of something: “No, although it is true that I transmigrated over, but strictly speaking, I am borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul. In that case, this body should be the original Xia Yuqing’s. Since it is the same body, it should be exactly the same. Where did this birthmark come from?”
Feng Tingye heard these words and the smile on his face narrowed: “In this case, maybe it’s your original body.”
“Original body?” You mean my body in the modern age? Xia Yuqing thought about it carefully, but she didn’t really remember whether she had this birthmark on her original body. The main reason is that the birthmark itself is on her back. She is usually quite insensitive and rarely paid attention to detail, so…
“Well, didn’t warlocks have a saying? Birthmarks are all engraved in the soul. Maybe this birthmark really exists because your soul lives in it.” Feng Tingye stared at Xia Yuqing’s small face as he spoke.
He once suspected that Xia Yuqing was a dangerous person that might have been sent by someone with intentions to deliberately approach him, but everything that happened afterwards told him that all his expectations were nothing but groundless worries. However, he never thought that the final truth would be like this! Despite the unconstrained nature, only the circ.u.mstances described by Xia Yuqing can be considered as reasonable explanations for the various past occurrences.
He always knew that Xia Yuqing had a secret, and it was a secret that she felt too guilty to tell. As an emperor, he could not allow people around him to conceal things from him, but as a husband, he had to respect that person to have her independent private s.p.a.ce and independent little secrets. Therefore, he remained silent on the matter. If at that time he made Xia Yuqing feel insecure to tell her little secret, he would wait until the day when she was willing to confess to him. Now, he has finally waited to that day.
Xia Yuqing nodded as if she understood but not really. Then as if thinking of something, her eyes widened as she exclaimed: “No, since the emperor has known that I am not the original Xia Yuqing, why not speak up? You caused me…” I have been frightened for so long.
Is this girl blaming himself? Feng Tingye looked at someone who was making some unreasonable troubles, and said with a laugh; “If you didn’t speak, how could Zhen know what little secret you are hiding? Zhen didn’t speak out of respect for you.”
Xia Yuqing was startled, then she was very disdainful. She narrowed her mouth and muttered: “Since you respect me, why are you still picking out my small loopholes. Catching me off guard, you almost…”
Feng Tingye listened to Xia Yuqing’s whispered complaints. He smiled again. He lazily leaned on the side of the carriage window and stared at Xia Yuqing in a teasing manner. The words he said made Xia Yuqing almost runaway: “Whose fault is it to have Ai Fei be so cute when she’s at a loss? Ai Fei obviously can’t lie, but everytime Ai Fei encounters this kind of incident, Ai Fei would rack her brains over it. Just hearing it, one can tell it is unreliable. Hearing such a funny lie, anxious Ai Fei is too adorable.”
“…” You are cute, your whole family is cute! What do you mean once you heard it, you can tell it’s unreliable? What do you mean it’s a lie that triggers you to laugh? So you have been watching me as a joke since the beginning?! Do you think it’s funny playing around like this? Do you think you can still live happily? ! Xia Yuqing stared at Feng Tingye angrily, trying to kill him with her eyes.
Feng Tingye laughed for a while, as if thinking of something, then he frowned: “You said yesterday that the Empress of Shu is the same as you too…”
“Well, we are all…well, to be precise, it’s a future world that is a hundred or even a thousand years away. It’s not just Aunt Yue, even my Second Royal Brother.”
“Your Second Royal Brother? Xia Mingxi?” Feng Tingye’s face was slightly wrinkled together. He finally understood why Xia Yuqing would feel so excited when she met Xia Mingxi for the first time. It turned out…
Feng Tingye had a flash of danger in his eyes. This danger was also seen in Yun Zhongli. Learning that these few people from the same place had gathered together, it is very likely that they could be planning to leave this world. Thus, he resolutely put Xia Mingxi on the blacklist of people to refuse her to communicate with. Of course, this is another story.
Xia Yuqing did not realize that her unintentional words had completely sold out her brother, since she was immersed in the joy of complete liberation. She chatted with Feng Tingye and talked about countless interesting things in the modern times. While Feng Tingye was also happy to understand Xia Yuqing a bit more, and nodded again and again.
As a result, the two arrived at the foot of Xiangyun Mountain in a happy atmosphere. They reached the mountainside just before noon.
“It’s almost noon. Let’s take a break here. We’ll eat something, then continue on the road. There are a lot of wild birds here, so we can have a large meal.” Shao Zitang and Yun Zhong Yue looked at each other, then turned to Xia Yuqing and waited.
“En.” Feng Tingye led Xia Yuqing and the children out of the car. He instructed several people not to run around randomly, then went to help.
Xia Yuqing was pulling along the yawning little bun as she rubbed her eyes. She had just woken up. Looking at Feng Tingye’s and the busy people not far away, Yun Xi who walked out of another carriage not far away, stepped forward, ready to help.
“Let’s go, let’s help too.” Xia Yuqing happily took the two children and walked towards Yun Xi and the others, but Yun Xi brushed her to the side by saying that “Qing Jiejie” had to take care of the two children.
Bored, Xia Yuqing had to take her two children to sit under a tree on the side to rest. Watching the two children play hide and seek, she poked at the little ants crawling on the ground to relieve her boredom.
After a long while, when Xia Yuqing raised her head again, she saw two children holding hands and walking towards the river not far away.
“Dudu, Dundun, don’t run to the river, it’s dangerous!” Xia Yuqing called. She got up and rushed towards the two children.
“Two little rascals, how can you run around without telling your mother? There are wild beasts around here. If you run around like this, you will be taken away by the beast. What would you do then?” Xia Yuqing hugged the two children who had walked to the water’s edge. Frightened, she bluffed.
Second Baby was not scared by Xia Yuqing at all. She giggled, then pointed to the water not far away and clapped her hands: “Grandpa…Grandpa fis.h.i.+ng!”
“Grandpa?” Xia Yuqing turned her head in confusion. Facing an old man with a hat, sitting in the shade of a tree by the water, he was fis.h.i.+ng leisurely.
As if sensing Xia Yuqing’s gaze, the old man turned around and smiled kindly at Xia Yuqing.
Xia Yuqing was about to say h.e.l.lo to someone, when she heard a shout behind her: “Qing Jiejie, we are going to eat! Bring the babies and come back.”
“Okay, coming.” Xia Yuqing turned to answer. When she turned around and wanted to say h.e.l.lo to the old man afterwards, she only found that the place where the man was staying was empty.
“Huh, where’s the person?” Xia Yuqing was taken aback. She looked around, then found that there was no trace of the old man. She twisted her eyebrows, “Forget it, let’s go back.”
Xia Yuqing turned to go back, but heard an unfamiliar sound: “Tsk tsk, it’s rare for a fresh girl to come here in the mountains who is even better than Qiong Er, but it’s a pity… the chest is a bit smaller.”
“Who?” Xia Yuqing turned her head in panic. She suddenly felt her chest heavy. She bowed her head slightly, facing an old man’s wretched face and the salty pig hand on her chest.
“…” Is she being taken advantage of by an old man?
After a brief silence, deep in the mountains a long scream broke out: “Ahhhhh!!!”
