Chapter 20 A slap in the face
Chu Wanran's legs went limp, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
Looking at Ling Fengxun's cold eyes, Chu Wanran realized that her cousin had never believed what she said from the beginning.
Her behavior of sowing discord was like a little clown.
Seeing that Chu Wanran did not speak again, Ling Fengxun sentenced her to death.
"As your brother, I should discipline you. Come on, slap your mouth!"
An Yunxi's eyes flashed.
Ling Fengxun was really willing to do it, and he did not show mercy to his only cousin.
But
She likes it!
"No, cousin, don't"
Two maids came over and held Chu Wanran.
All the servants around her were also driven out of the room.
As if to vent his anger on An Yunxi, Ling Fengxun asked Chunyue to do it in the room.
Chunyue took a long ruler-like object and slapped Chu Wanran in the face without hesitation.
Even a slap on a delicate cheek would make it red and swollen, not to mention using a tool.
"Ah!"
A scream came out of Chu Wanran's mouth.
But Chunyue did not stop.
After a while, the originally beautiful face had turned into a pig's head.
Chu Wanran could no longer make any sound, her teeth were loose, and even two of them fell out.
Seeing that it was almost time and that she would faint if he continued to hit her, Ling Fengxun waved his hands.
The voice was cold and ruthless.
"From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in the Palace of Prince Xian. Come on, show me out."
Chu Wanran was dizzy and her face was covered in blood. Her expression became numb.
She was beaten up like this by the crowd and ordered to leave. She had lost all her dignity at this moment.
When she raised her head in a daze, she saw a sarcastic smile on the corner of An Yunxi's mouth.
Chu Wanran clearly realized that she seemed to have been fooled.
The scars on her face and the fate of being driven out of the palace now were all someone deliberately leading her to jump into the fire pit.
"An, Yun, Xi"
Chu Wanran said every word with extreme hatred, but could only make a bloody and vague sound.
An Yunxi sneered: "Miss Chu, remember this lesson and learn from it in the future."
Chu Wanran was carried out of the palace by her own servants.
Ling Fengxun turned his head and saw An Yunxi sticking out her tongue at Chu Wanran's back.
She was exactly the same as the naughty girl back then.
He didn't fall in love at first sight. Before that chance encounter, Ling Fengxun already knew An Yunxi's name.
Even if someone controlled the spread of rumors, no news could be hidden from his eyes and ears.
Ling Fengxun has been paying attention to An Yunxi for a long time. It can even be said that he watched her grow up little by little and become the stunning beauty she is now.
He watched her quietly in the dark, and even invited the master who taught her the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that the military mansion later found for her.
When An Yunxi saw Ling Fengxun looking at her, she immediately restrained her expression: "Does the prince believe me this time?"
Ling Fengxun's face was neither surprised nor happy, and it was impossible to see any emotional changes in him.
It seemed that dealing with Chu Wanran was just a trivial matter.
"Well, the king believes it."
An Yunxi heard this, but she knew in her heart that it would be a long and arduous task to gain Ling Fengxun's trust.
But no matter what, she would not let misunderstandings affect the relationship between the two.
"Since the prince believes in me, then agree to one of my requests. You can no longer restrict my freedom. Of course, if the prince is worried, you can follow me, or send someone to monitor me. You can do whatever you want."
An Yunxi said sincerely.
She really didn't want to be locked in this room and become a bird in a cage that could do nothing.
The matter of the general's mansion still needed to be resolved. Her mother had a weak personality, and her brother didn't come back often. She was afraid that something might happen to her mother among the wolves.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said, "It depends on your performance."
An Yunxi stared at the man in front of her blankly, her cheeks slightly hot, and she moved her lips forward and gently touched his thin lips.
The soft lips carried a warm and sweet breath, like a freshly baked snack.
Ling Fengyan was about to lean over while holding her waist, but he heard An Yunxi's subconscious groan. She was too tired last night and still felt the pain in her waist.
A slight panic flashed across her eyes.
Ling Fengyan naturally saw it. He placed her at the head of the bed and covered her with a quilt.
"Go to sleep and take care of yourself, and I will promise you."
An Yunxi blinked and lay on the bed very quietly, watching Ling Fengyan extinguish the other candles in the room, leaving only a small oil lamp at the head of the bed.
He obviously did not intend to leave the room, but sat down not far away and asked someone to move the folders in the study.
Feeling relieved, An Yunxi, who was extremely tired, finally closed her eyes.
She had a nightmare . She
recalled the scenes before her death.
It was the third year since she married Ling Fengxun.
She went to the battlefield with Ling Fengxun.
After more than half a year of fighting, the Southern Qi Kingdom suffered a great defeat and was injured. The war that lasted for two years finally came to an end. After
half a year of fighting on the battlefield and multiple rescues and support for each other, the relationship between her and Ling Fengxun began to advance by leaps and bounds after the misunderstanding was resolved.
After experiencing hatred and vengeance, and then withstanding the test of life and death, An Yunxi was able to completely give herself to this man
. After the tense and bloody atmosphere on the battlefield was gone, she became pregnant in the second month after returning to the capital.
At that time, she had even carefully prepared a surprise for Ling Fengyan, intending to tell him the good news in person at his birthday party next month.
Unfortunately, she didn't wait until that time. In
early April, during the Qingming Festival,
on the anniversary of her mother and brother's death, her father invited her to go to the grave to pay homage.
