Chapter 852: There Are Too Many People Whom She Cares For
After coming to a decision, Feng Tianlan got up and put her clothes on. Right after she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Mobai entering the room with a bowl of seafood noodles in his hands.
“Mobai.” When Feng Tianlan saw him, all her fatigue disappeared. She then walked towards him.
Si Mobai put the bowl of noodles down. When he saw her walking towards him, he held her in his arms. After touching her wet hair, he decided to help her dry it. “I heard that something had happened. I assumed that you might not have eaten well, so I cooked some noodles for you,” he said.
Rumors of the incident that happened at the East Palace today had spread. As he was worried about Lan’er, he sent someone to keep an eye on her. Therefore, he received the news right after he returned. He wanted to ask her about it first. However, she was bathing, so he went and cooked some noodles just in case she was hungry.
“Something did happen. I think Xi Jin has turned into another person. Everything that happened today was part of his scheme.” Feng Tianlan didn’t plan to hide it from him. She then recounted everything she had seen.
It wasn’t easy to figure out what a man was thinking, so she wanted Mobai, who was a man, to figure out what Xi Jin was planning.
After Si Mobai was done drying her hair, he sat her down and served her noodles. He then said, “Actually, there are only two reasons for him to do such a thing. Either he had found out the truth, or like what he said, he hates her because he loved her. After all, no man could accept being rejected on their wedding day.”
After listening to what he was saying while eating her noodles, Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but frown. What Mobai had just said was the same as not saying anything.
She just couldn’t figure out the reason, which was why she had decided to ask him.
“Lan’er, no matter what the reason is, you just have to watch from the side. He is the Crown Prince of a country. He will face many more schemes and plots in the future. Besides, the imperial harem, where one would be destroyed by very subtle means, is what he will be dealing with the most.
“He is not just an ordinary man, but a Crown Prince. He is the future Emperor. If he wants to strike a balance in the imperial court, he must make full use of his concubines to keep everyone in check. This is a strategy that an emperor must have. An emperor has a lot of responsibilities and a great burden on his shoulder. His hands must be tainted with the blood of others, even if it is the blood of a good person sometimes. This is who an emperor is,” he said.
After hearing Si Mobai’s words, Feng Tianlan replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’ as she nodded. “Other things don’t matter. I was just worried that he might have known about my identity. It will not be beneficial to him,” she answered.
“Why would it be non-beneficial to him? The most he will do is get his revenge on Shen Yunya. Any man would be merciless towards this matter.” Si Mobai didn’t understand what she meant. If he were Xi Jin and he were to know that the person he loved was killed, he would not only want to kill the murderer to get his revenge, he would want to bury everyone in the world with her!
Feng Tianlan smiled. “Actually, I am worried for nothing.”
Si Mobai made sense. The only thing she could do was watch. As far as Xi Jin knowing the truth, as long as Sister Lin and her didn’t say anything, Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya wouldn’t have told him either. It wouldn’t really matter if he were to know that she didn’t die of natural causes.
The secret that she wanted to keep was the bowl of dumplings. She wanted to prevent Xi Jin from losing his rationality.
“Eat your noodles. Don’t starve yourself. Everyone has their own growing phase. I am going to take a bath.” Si Mobai was feeling love, hate, and helplessness towards her behavior right now. There were too many people whom she cared about. He wasn’t the only one.
However, he also felt happy that she had so many people whom she cared for.
When Si Mobai came out from his bath, Feng Tianlan had already finished her meal. He then took her hand as they took a walk in the courtyard to help her digest her meal.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and said suddenly, “Mobai, I don’t seem to have met any of your friends.”
Not only had she not met his friends, she hadn’t even heard him mention them. As for his family members, Si Ming and the others were just his subordinates. They weren’t his family, either.
