Chapter 292 A Fake Prince for a Real One

In fact, Jing Donghua and Elder Princess’s love affair was a secret one year ago. But the royal family of West Xia seemed to have a dim future in continuing bloodlines. Except for the Crown Prince Jing Yuanxiao and the thirteenth prince Jing Yuanchu, other princes were injured or dead one after another. According to the Empress’ last wish, Jing Yuanxiao would be the Crown Prince.

But he was too slow-witted to be a wise emperor that rule this country. While West Xia sought the birth mother’s status and bloodline of great importance, the thirteenth prince Jing Yuanchu was born in low status. If Jing Donghua and Elder Princess’s son were still alive, he may not be able to kick off the crown prince. But if he could be entitled as a marquis to help Jing Yuanxiao, the two could be praised as companionate brothers.

However, nobody had ever expected the sudden appearance of the rumored illegitimate child.

Doors opened. A tall man was standing in the doorway. The strong sunlight cast a glow into the great hall, throwing his elongated shadow on the marble floor abruptly. As he approached, people started to observe his face.

He had heavy features. Bushy eyebrows and big sunken eyes made him a deep look. He looked like Jing Donghua, which could be told from his long fingers, appearance, the aura surrounding him when he walked, even his twinkle and smile. His features were almost the same as Jing Donghua that nobody would suspect his royal descendant’s identity.

All those present were stunned. Jing Yuanchu watched their faces with enjoyment; his head held high.

The comer kneeled before Jing Donghua with dignity, shouting “long live Your Majesty” loudly like ordinary people.

Jing Donghua raised his hand without extra expression, but he couldn’t help the quiver in his voice, “Stand up and tell me your name.”

“I’m Nameless.” He lowered his head.

“Why don’t you even have a name?”

“I have never met my birth parents. What I am called is given by my master who adopted me. Though I am grateful for my master bringing me up, in my mind, I don’t have a name.” His answer seemed to touch the very soft part inside Jing Donghua’s heart.

He had met Elder Princess already. Though he had no idea where their son was, Jing Donghua assured the son was still alive. For a time, Jing Donghua took the silver mask man at Elder Princess’ side to be his son, but that person denied and said he was a foster son. This telling put Jing Donghua off. Everyone wanted to please him brazenly because he was the supreme emperor. If the silver-masker were his real son, Jing Donghua would do whatever he could imagine doting on him, not to mention he was missing for years.

But there are people not willing to flatter him for the sake of so-called status.

At the same time, when Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan heard of what had happened in the courier station, Jing Donghua permitted the unidentified so-called “missing prince” to stay overnight as a reward.

“What a scheme!” Qin Yunuan felt what Leng Changxi had done was undeserved. She flapped on the tea table heavily, which, after, burst into slight cracking. Since Leng Changxi found Qin Yunuan’s body had been changed by the poison of insect and could cultivate together with him, he utilized the poison to fine-tune Qin Yunuan’s inner Qi. Though Qin Yunuan’s inner Qi improved a lot, she was lack of essential martial art ability. Therefore, Leng Changxi had to consider twice before teaching her fist positions or how to use her inner Qi.

Leng Changxi held Qin Yunuan’s hand softly. He glanced at the table, noticed a lightning-shaped crack on it. It seemed that Qin Yunuan’s inner Qi was enhanced.

“Why do you fly into such a fury?” Filled with love, Leng Changxi blew on her slightly red hands tenderly.

“Jing Yuanchu faked someone to be the heir of Elder Princess. Don’t you ever feel angry about that? His Majesty pardoned his stay in the Royal Palace...This will bring troubles. I’ve heard that His Majesty treats the counterfeit like a real prince. You ought to own all of these, but now they belong to others. Don’t you ever feel angry about that?” At the thought of Leng Changxi being taken placed of by somebody, Qin Yunuan’s grievances overflowed.

Leng Changxi shook his head, “There is no need for us to drift all this way if I only care about wealth and prestige. If I am eager for them, I shall agree to surrender to Sima Ray in Qi. But now, nothing is more important than curing my mother. After that, I will borrow troops from West Xia, go back to Qi, and save the imprisoned emperor of Qi.”

“But now you are even unable to recognize His Majesty to be your father.” Qin Yunuan fired up. Just then, her maid Cai’er came in. She carried with the message that people from Jing Yuanchu’s palaces will be here in a minute.

See, there were people hurrying to swagger.

Qin Yunuan sneered. She ordered Cai’er to serve the coming guests at the side hall. Leng Changxi consoled her gently, “Usually you are calm. It seems that nothing troubles you. But now you are in a temper for me. Seeing this, I’m quite delighted.”

His words amused Qin Yunuan. She kept giggling shyly and made a fist, pretending to punch Leng Changxi’s shoulder, “Oh dear, again you make fun of me!”

“Do I?” Leng Changxi weighted on her body. The intimate feeling soared. His charming voice lowered like the solo contrabass, “That’s not the way I make fun of you.” After saying this, his hot hand went caressing her fair and smooth cheeks. The feverish touching shuddered Qin Yunuan, and her body softened unexpectedly.

Qin Yunuan’s eyes got blurred. Ventrilo-like eyelashes dropped down-they were long enough to cast a ray of shadow on her face. With lip softened and numb, she was out of consciousness about what she was saying, “I don’t know what you are saying. It’s daytime, and I still have guests outside.”

“Then tell me what I’m going to do.” Leng Changxi would not give up halfway since he started. For him, seeing his Nuan submit herself to him meekly was an enjoyment. He loved the feeling of owning her from top to toe, completely.

“You know what I will do, don’t you?” the moment Leng Changxi’s hand was ready to run over her body, Cai’er’s voice passed over.

“Your Grace, Young Master and Young Madam are taking care of Elder Princess. Please have a seat and wait for a second!”

She filled her voice with anxiety. Qin Yunuan told her to keep everyone away. In Cai’er’s mind, everyone, of course, included Dou Meishuang.

“Where do you get the nerve? Nanny Yun, slap her on the face.”

“Who dares?” Qin Yunuan opened the door and stood next to it. She stopped Dou Meishuang’s rampant behavior.

Dou Meishuang was in a flamboyant style of wearing. She posed like a royal lady. The elderly nanny stood beside her was old-aged. But she lacked the mercy and benevolence at her age. She was a devil directing an uplifted arm, yet hadn’t went down, towards Cai’er, who was now trembling with fears.

Dou Meishuang noticed Qin Yunuan’s appearance. She shifted to a smiley face, but much more fake than her cruelty before, “Oh! My younger female cousin, you are inside. I thought this maid was lying to me. Given that you are such a good sister of mine; it is impossible that you won’t let me in.”

Qin Yunuan hinted Cai’er to leave. She retorted, “Impossible things can happen.”

With no panic, Dou Meishuang laughed, “Yunuan, you’re joking again. I was appointed by Jing Yuanchu to invite Elder Princess to the Royal Palace. His Majesty has been searching for Elder Princess for quite a long time. Considering His Majesty didn’t feel well before, Jing Yuanchu didn’t report the message up. But now Elder Princess gets hurt only a few days after she has stayed in the hotel. His Majesty is worried about Elder Princess, therefore he determines to bring her to the Royal Palace.”

Qin Yunuan stared at Dou Meishuang with a smile, “My dear cousin, though Dou Qing’e didn’t bring you up, your manner and way of speaking were just the same. Now I see why people alike are always in the same family.”

Dou Meishuang’s lip’s corner went up, “Aunty Dou is always in good taste. She arranges everything well inside the house. I’ll be proud of it if I can learn from her a little bit.”

“You misunderstood me,” Qin Yunuan smiled sweetly, “I mean, it is out of question that you inherit her hypocrisy: angel’s face, devil’s deed.”

Hearing this, Nanny Yun got vexed. She came up yelling, “Learn your courtesy! Here stands Jing Yuanchu’s Princess!”

“Oh,” Qin Yunuan slightly bowed to Nanny Yun, “It is so well-bred and courageous of you to shout that loud inside the hotel.”

“You!”

“Well, Nanny Yun, don’t take it as a matter. All their tricks have been exhausted except to tongue.” Said Dou Meishuang, holding her head high, “So you refuse to hand over Elder Princess?”

“Provided Her Royal Highness intends to do so,” Qin Yunuan stepped forward. With about the same height, she directly looking into her eyes, “Why don’t you go inside and ask her? If she is willing to go with you, how dare I be a barrier?”

“Are you making fun of me?” Dou Meishuang got angry, “A person loses the ability to speak or move...it is such silly of you expecting me to ask a living-dead to give her nod.”

“Ah-oh,” Qin Yunuan covered her mouth, pretended to be surprised, “My dear cousin, people only hear about that she is in a coma after the attack. How do you know she is in such a critical condition? Does it mean, you...?”

“It has nothing to do with me,” Dou Meishuang avoided Qin Yunuan’s eyes, “Anyway, I must take her away today.”

All of a sudden, a deep voice came through the door, “You can take Elder Princess to the Royal Palace, but with Nuan and me.”
