Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 403-404

Chapter 403 Going to the Emperor and Wang Yueyue Dies

No, no, it must not happen. She wanted her child! Wang Yueyue looked up in panic and fear at Feng Yuzhen. Her eyes were filled with bitter pain and pleading.

Didn’t they say that she just had to put on a show? Didn’t they say that lighting the incense would make it look like her child would seem poisoned and there would be signs of a miscarriage? But it should not really happen. They had planned this all out and nothing had gone wrong. But why had it ended up like this? Her child, her child with royal blood. How did she miscarry just like that?

As long as Ling Fengyan and Mo Xuetong stayed there for just a while, she could push the blame on them. She would be able to drag Mo Xuetong down while framing Ling Fengyan. This would clear all the obstructions for Feng Yuzhen. That was why she decided to work with him and plotted this scene in which she would use her child to frame Ling Fengyan.

However, she never expected that Ling Fengyan would die!

Furthermore, it was a poison that had been triggered by the incense she lit. She had intentionally mentioned that the incense in the parlor was bad to frame Ling Fengyan. And together, they changed the incense. She had secretly gotten servants to change the incense. They did not belong to the Princess Royal’s manor. When something happened, she could say that Ling Fengyan had gotten servants to change it in private to hurt her child.

This was not difficult as long as Wang Yueyue insisted that Ling Fengyan and Mo Xuetong had played a part in it! She was the one who decided the fate of her unborn child. There only needed to be a hint of a miscarriage and have a physician prove it. Ling Fengyan and Mo Xuetong would not be able to deny it even if they wanted to.

However, how did the originally foolproof plan turn out like this!

Ling Fengyan was dead. She could not use this excuse to frame Ling Fengyan. Instead, this intimate action was now turned against her. She could not even keep the child in her belly. No, no, this could not be true.

“Your Highness, Your Highness…” She muttered to herself. The loss of her child did not only hurt her physically but also emotionally. She had always wanted a child. To her, this miscarriage was like her losing her life. She cried so hard she lost her voice as she reached out weakly to Feng Yuzhen. She cried while she panted in pain. Her eyes were filled with confusion and pain, and she looked miserable and hopeless.

Feng Yuzhen felt pity for her as he looked at her. Even though they had only been married for a few days, the gentle and obedient Wang Yueyue had given him a different feeling Wang Xiuxiu gave him. They had been husband and wife for some time, and he truly did feel something for her. As such, he pushed the onlookers away and scooped Wang Yueyue up. He said hurriedly, “Yueyue, Yueyue, how are you? How are you?” His forehead was beaded with sweat and he seemed truly worried.

Wang Yueyue had not managed to get the job done and he was mad about that. However, Wang Yueyue as well as her supporter, Grand Secretariat Wang, had a power that he was not willing to offend or to give up. Furthermore, if he abandoned his wife, who was having a miscarriage, it would just lead to reproach. As such, he pretended to appear deeply in love. Furthermore, he did care for Wang Yueyue. After all, to him, she had always been an obedient wife.

However, there were more important things to settle right now. Wang Yueyue’s attempt on Ling Fengyan’s life was already a fact. If he were implicated, he would not have a way out either. Even if he managed to stay alive, he would never be able to enter politics again. He could only become an idle prince. How could Feng Yuzhen accept that?

No matter what had happened, he had to minimize the impact of this incident.

He had originally wanted to drag down Feng Yuran and his wife down together with him. However, he did not expect that the usually useless couple he always looked down on would be so extraordinarily gracious and calm. They had foiled all his plots. However, it was not the end yet. He still had a chance to save himself!
