Chapter 338 – What Wei Fengyao Was Holding Tightly In Her Hand
Admiring the flowers, lights, and beauties? Wei Yuewu’s eyes widened as she looked at Yan Huaijing with confusion. She really did not understand what he meant.
However, what Yan Huaijing did next made her even more suspicious.
After putting on the fur coat for her, Yan Huaijing actually took two steps back. He looked at her, who was now wrapped tightly, and commented, “This part should be longer. This way, she will feel warmer and no one will be able to tell it’s her.”
“Yes!” The previous guard replied.
Yan Huaijing looked up and down again and felt satisfied. He walked over and took the coat off Wei Yuewu’s shoulders. “Wait for me in your room tonight. I’ll come and bring you over.”
What? Was it not now? So did he just want to try the coat on her?
Wei Yuewu raised her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times. She was confused at this moment as she couldn’t comprehend what the domineering and scheming heir-apparent was up to. After forcing herself to calm down, she looked at him curiously.
After handing the fur coat to the guard, Yan Huaijing smiled slightly. “Wait for me in the evening!”
After saying that, he flung his long sleeves, turned around, and strode away, disappearing just as abruptly as when he came.
This person was really unpredictable. He did everything as he pleased! He was so mysterious and enigmatic, but all he wanted to do was let her try on the coat. He was really…
However, she felt a little moved! There was a hint of softness in her always hard heart.
“Miss… let’s go!” Jin Ling came over to remind her.
“Let’s go!” Wei Yuewu looked around cautiously. It was indeed inconvenient to stay in this place for too long. The place was too secluded that it would easily raise the suspicion of others if she stayed.
After returning to the main path and asking the palace maid where Wei Fengyao was resting, Wei Yuewu hurried there with Jin Ling.
“Miss, I seem to have seen the Fourth Prince just now,” Jin Ling took a few steps forward and whispered to Wei Yuewu.
“When?” Wei Yuewu paused for a moment.
“When you went to talk to the palace maid, I saw the Fourth Prince not far behind us, but he did not come over.” The vigilant and attentive Jin Ling observed her surroundings at all times. Therefore, she saw the Fourth Prince rushing over, but he stopped when he saw them asking for information.
“The Fourth Prince came from behind us?” Wei Yuewu’s heart skipped a beat. There was someone in Zhaoyi Tu’s palace when she was there. Could it be the Fourth Prince?
“Yes, the Fourth Prince walked in a hurry, but when he saw that you were asking for Eldest Young Lady’s location, he stopped and then turned to another road.” Jin Ling thought for a while before continuing, “The Fourth Prince was in a hurry before as if he had something urgent to do, but after that, he walked slower.”
“Did he go in the same direction as us?” Wei Yuewu’s eyes darkened. Just now, she learned from the palace maid that this place did not lead to the outside of the Palace. Because it was close to the Cold Palace, there were only some empty palaces.
From the looks of it, it seemed that the Fourth Prince was in a hurry to visit Wei Fengyao.
Wei Fengyao was the Heiress-apparent as well as the granddaughter-in-law that the Empress Dowager cherished. Her arm had been injured in the Palace, so it was reasonable for the Fourth Prince to visit her. But why was he alone? Shouldn’t he avoid arousing suspicion and go with others?
But if he wasn’t going to visit Wei Fengyao alone, was it because of her that he came in a hurry? Did he want to catch up with her and have something to say, but then leave for other reasons?
If this was the case, the Fourth Prince should still go to visit Wei Fengyao later…
Now, Wei Fengyao was temporarily placed at a small palace that was in a remote location. After all, she was not an imperial concubine of the palace, so she could not be arranged to stay in a main palace.
The Palace only sent one eunuch and one palace maid to wait on her. Besides, there were Wei Fengyao’s own maids. The huge palace seemed very cold and quiet.
When Wei Yuewu came over, Wei Qiufu was accompanying Wei Fengyao. If it were not for Wei Fengyao’s gloomy face, she would have thought that the two sisters were having a good chat.
“Eldest Sister, Fourth Elder Sister!” Wei Yuewu stepped forward and bowed.
When Wei Fengyao raised her eyes to look at Wei Yuewu, the distinctive hatred flashed across her glare. She clenched the handkerchief with her uninjured hand, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
“Sixth Younger Sister, take a seat. Eldest Sister sustained quite a serious injury, and sometimes she is too painful to speak.” Wei Qiufu smiled and came over to smooth things over. She pointed to a chair at the head of the bed and asked Wei Yuewu to sit down.
Wei Yuewu nodded indifferently. When she sat down next to Wei Qiufu, she pointed at Wei Fengyao’s arm and asked, “Oh… Will her hand be okay in the future?”
These words were like a needle that fiercely pierced into Wei Fengyao’s heart. She sustained quite a serious injury to her arm. Even if she recovered very well in the future, her arm would probably not be able to move as freely as before.
“Wei Yuewu, you…” Wei Fengyao glared fiercely at Wei Yuewu, gnashing her teeth.
When Wei Qiufu came to see her earlier, Wei Fengyao almost rushed over to scratch her face, but after learning that Wei Qiufu’s plan had succeeded, she had no choice but to endure it.
Wei Qiufu had also promised her that if she were to gain power in the future, she would definitely become Wei Fengyao’s powerful backing. With Wei Qiufu’s words, Wei Fengyao knew that she had been in the wrong when she thought about the archery incident, so she suppressed her resentment.
But when she saw Wei Yuewu, she could not bear it!
All of these happened because of Wei Yuewu. Wei Fengyao did not believe that Wei Yuewu was innocent. She had schemed against Wei Yuewu, but Wei Yuewu, who had been supposed to be in trouble, was fine. On the contrary, she herself was landed in trouble. The twists and turns in this matter were enough for Wei Fengyao to vent all her anger on Wei Yuewu.
Had Wei Yuewu not entered the capital, Second Younger Sister would not have teamed up with Mo Huating to kill her. After that, Second Younger Sister fell from grace due to a series of events, and the dignified legitimate daughter became a nameless concubine in the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan.
If it were not for Wei Yuewu, her mother, Lady Li, would not have broken her legs and lived in Li Mansion…
And now, she was badly injured. All of these happened because Wei Yuewu entered the capital.
Why didn’t this wretched girl die? If she had died early, all these disasters would not have happened.
All of Wei Fengyao’s hatred burned more and more fiercely after Wei Qiufu’s deliberate provocation. When she saw Wei Yuewu, her eyes turned red in rage.
“Sixth Younger Sister, I have been here for a while. I will not be a bother for you and Eldest Sister to chat. I’ll take my leave first.” Seeing Wei Fengyao’s bloodshot eyes, Wei Qiufu stood up with a grin and planned to leave.
It was none of her business whether it was Wei Fengyao looking for Wei Yuewu to settle accounts or Wei Yuewu did something to Wei Fengyao.
Wei Fengyao was now heavily injured. No matter what happened, Wei Yuewu could not escape her responsibility.
Wei Qiufu also predicted that Wei Yuewu would definitely come today since neither of them came to visit Wei Fengyao yesterday…
“Fourth Elder Sister, don’t go yet. You should stay with us for a while. It seems that Eldest Sister is angry with me!” With a smile, Wei Yuewu looked up at Wei Qiufu and grabbed her sleeve.
Did Wei Qiufu try to leave at this moment? She would not let it happen…
“Sixth Younger Sister… Uh… I have some things to do. When the Crown Prince sent me the rewards, there was a message from him.” At this moment, Wei Qiufu refused to stay since she wanted to stay back and watch them fight. However, she couldn’t break free from Wei Yuewu, who was grabbing her sleeve, so she smiled faux-politely while struggling.
“Does the Crown Prince have anything else to say to you?” Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows with a blank face. “Didn’t we just run into His Highness yesterday? How did His Highness suddenly become so close to you?”
“I don’t know either. Maybe His Highness thinks that we clicked!” Speaking of this matter, Wei Qiufu wanted to show off her relationship with the Crown Prince, so she stopped in her tracks.
“Previously, didn’t His Highness think that…” Wei Yuewu had a blank expression on her face without finishing her sentence, but Wei Qiufu was a little irritated as she could interpret her meaning, and the past involuntarily flashed across her mind.
She tried to suppress it a few times to no avail.
Wei Yuewu was talking about the matter of her being disliked by the Crown Prince back then in the Plum Blossom Nunnery.
Her misfortune began with the incident that happened in the Plum Blossom Nunnery. The Crown Prince wouldn’t have disliked her if it were not for Wei Yuewu. As for the Confession of Love that she played, it was supposedly an outstanding performance, but Wei Yuewu made the Crown Prince enraged when she said that the Confession of Love was performed by someone who wanted to become a concubine.
“Sixth Younger Sister, fate is wonderful. Even though I missed the timing with His Highness, we will still fall for each other. Do you believe that I’ll ascend to a higher position in the future?” Wei Qiufu had held back these remarks for a long time, but she couldn’t hold them back anymore since she was confident now. She glared at Wei Yuewu and teased, her eyes showing a bit of coldness.
When she really ascended to a high position in the future, she would definitely not spare Wei Yuewu!
“Fourth Elder Sister, you and His Highness are really fated. You bumped into His Highness twice,” Wei Yuewu said with a faint smile as if she didn’t sense the hostility in Wei Qiufu’s tone.
“Oh, so you do know that His Highness and Fourth Younger Sister cannot be separated. Then you should stop dreaming. So, what if you entered the Palace this time? Do you think there will be two high-ranking concubines from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?!” Wei Fengyao sneered in contempt as she resented Wei Yuewu deeply.
Wei Fengyao glared at Wei Yuewu fiercely. She would agree with any comments and behaviors that were spiteful to Wei Yuewu. As long as there was a chance, she would definitely make Wei Yuewu doomed. Her uninjured hand tightly grasped the handkerchief, waiting for Wei Yuewu to come forward.
“I-I don’t intend to be close to His Highness! I’m aware that His Highness is Fourth Elder Sister’s. After returning to the mansion, I always knew that.” Wei Yuewu’s eyes fell on Wei Fengyao’s slightly nervous face. Then, she slowly moved her glance to the handkerchief that Wei Fengyao held tightly, and she finally turned to the direction where Wei Qiufu avoided.
That direction was behind Wei Fengyao’s feet earlier. Previously, Wei Qiufu had asked her to sit at Wei Fengyao’s bedside. However, she had instead chosen the seat behind Wei Qiufu, which was further away from Wei Fengyao.
“The Crown Prince was originally Fourth Younger Sister’s. Sixth Younger Sister, it’s useless for you to covet His Highness. You’re really very vicious. After harming me into such a state, don’t you feel a little bit guilty?!” Wei Fengyao berated furiously.
Jin Ling silently stepped forward and reached out to pull Wei Yuewu. Then, her eyes glanced at the door of the hall.
“Eldest Sister, what do you mean by that? I don’t understand anything you say. What do you mean by saying that Crown Prince was originally Fourth Elder Sister’s? And what do you mean by saying that I harmed you?” Wei Yuewu looked blankly at the pale-faced and bloodshot-eyed Wei Fengyao, but she still held Wei Qiufu’s sleeve tightly, not letting her go.
“Wei Yuewu, don’t think that no one knows… I… I have evidence. Come over and take a look…” Wei Fengyao hissed hatefully. She unfolded the handkerchief in her hand as if she was going to take out something.
At the entrance of the hall, the persons who came stopped in their tracks!
