Chapter 686: 686
Chapter 686 The Empress Regnant’s Enchanting Consort (18)
If ordinary people dared to hug him for a bit, they would be poisoned .
But Bai Weiwei was the first person who didn’t fear the poison in his body .
He slowly spoke about those past events, “The high priest hated me . Perhaps it was something I did . She made me serve her, and she would beat me if I did something wrong . ”
Bai Weiwei’s eyes turned ice-cold, and then fiery anger burst from her eyes .
Feng Yunian pretended not to see her wrath . He deliberately made himself look more pitiful .
“So I learned a lot of things, such as serving tea and delivering water, as well as rubbing the scalp to treat headaches . ”
He gave a strained smile . “Later, Feng Ling recovered, and I was able to leave the high priest’s side . ”
After saying this, he became silent .
Too much was as bad as too little1 .
He already spoke a great deal today . If Bai Weiwei truly felt different about him .
Then after hearing these words, she would undoubtedly be dissatisfied with the high priest .
Then he would slowly, gradually, find the right time to get rid of the high priest .
But even after a while passed, Bai Weiwei still didn’t have the slightest reaction .
Feng Yunian’s heart was extremely calm . It seemed that he failed to win sympathy .
Could it be that he could only go to bed, then use pillow talk2?
Suddenly, something fell on his face .
Something cold and wet .
Feng Yunian’s lashes fluttered, and he looked up .
He saw her above him, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, clenched teeth, and tightly furrowed brows .
Tears fell, dripping onto his astonished face .
Bai Weiwei was crying, but her voice was ice-cold and filled with murderous intent .
“High priest Leng Lianqing . ”
Feng Yunian was startled for a moment before he reacted . Then he managed to maintain his self-sacrificing3 appearance: “I am aware she is a great hero4 who supports Your Majesty . Although I was not treated well in my childhood, I will do my utmost to have good relations with her . ”
The Leng clan was a respected clan that supported Bai Weiwei .
Leng Lianqing, in particular, had significant influence in court .

If Bai Weiwei wanted to keep the country stable, then Leng Lianqing had to be appeased .
He didn’t expect the Leng clan to fall . He had only wanted to drive a nail in Bai Weiwei’s heart .
But she… why was she crying?
The frost in Bai Weiwei’s eyes was angry and violent .
“What ‘good relations’ with this scum . She dared to abuse you . I’ll make her life worse than death . ”
These words stunned Feng Yunian even further…
He didn’t respond . Bai Weiwei reached out to embrace him, her soft body clinging closely to his .
Her hands stroked his back as she buried her head in his shoulder . Her long hair draped over his body .
Feng Yunian didn’t dare to move . Cold tears soaked his skin .
Partly crying and partly gnashing her teeth in anger, she spoke into his ear: “How could she treat you like this? You are a prince . Does it hurt?”
Hurt?
It hurt a lot, ah .

Feng Yunian thought about that time . Rolling on the floor from the pain, humiliated without the least bit of dignity .
No better than a dog .
How could it not hurt?
But nobody had asked him this .
Feng Yunian’s eyes began to sting at Bai Weiwei’s words .
He kept the indifference in his tone, “It doesn’t hurt . It’s all in the past . ”
He had endured it all .
He should be screaming in pain, making her pity him more .
But his head was blank, and he didn’t know how to pretend .
Bai Weiwei raised her head, her eyes full of soft and tender sympathy .
Her lashes were still wet with tears . She stared at him, motionless .
“In the future, if anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll be your support and let you return it to them a thousand-fold . ”

These words were soft and gentle; Without a bit of an oppressive air .
Feng Yunian couldn’t speak . He couldn’t understand .
How could she say such words?
1: 过犹不及: to go beyond is as bad as to fall short . ↩
2: 吹枕头风: when the submissive/less politically or economically influential partner suggests to their spouse (usually after sex) to make certain decisions that benefit either the speaker or someone the speaker is helping (e . g . , their family/clan, their true love, their best friend, etc . ) . I’m pretty sure this is a prevalent phrase in web novels, especially in ones that discuss ancient China’s political machinations via the emperor’s/duke’s/noble official’s harem . ↩
3: 委曲求全: to compromise out of consideration for the general interest . ↩
