Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine

Chapter 103 Crazy Words

Qin Yunuan hadn’t had any sexual experience before. In her previous life, she knew little about it. Although she was married in her previous life, she was killed in the marriage sedan before she entered the bridal chamber. Therefore, she thought that Leng Changxi’s requirement was the result of his feeling uncomfortable.

Qin Yunuan got closer to him by shuffling. But she was immediately pulled beneath Leng Changxi, whose face had been blushed just now. However, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all except that her view was suddenly reversed. This was because there was a thick layer of new leaves at the root of the tree, and the back of her head and her neck were protected by Leng Changxi’s big hands.

She felt heavy when Leng Changxi was over her body. Because he got a muscular body behind his slim figure as a result of his long experience of using spears and swords, learning martial arts, and leading the army.

Leng Changxi pulled the hand behind Qin Yunuan’s head away, held his arms on both sides of her head, and looked down at her, whose face was full of surprise. His black mask implied a mystery that couldn’t be told. His lips were slightly raised, forming a smile in the golden sunrise which was bright and warm like the second sun to her.

“When we were in the face of the emperor, why did you want to let go of my hand?” Leng Changxi asked about a tiny detail. The moment he blurted out the words, he was surprised at his attention on it. He never cared so much about a tiny detail. The reason why he did so was that it had something to do with her.

Qin Yunuan had turned from panic to calm. From his eyes, she could see that he had no intention of hurting her. So she said with a smile, “Did General Leng just tell others that the biggest advantage of me is never talking nonsense? I don’t dare to say anything about the question.”

“I was just kidding,” Leng Changxi grinned cunningly. He bent over slowly until he was only a centimeter from the tip of Qin Yunuan’s nose, which was so small and pretty that he even wanted to take a bite of it. He buried his head on her shoulder and whispered near her ear, “You have so many advantages in my eyes. The only disadvantage of you is that you don’t care for me so much. You see, it’s always me who takes the initiative to kiss and hug.”

Actually, Qin Yunuan had already cared for him very much. She opened her eyes and blurted out, “Nonsense.”

Leng Changxi smiled proudly, “I know! You really care for me.” Finishing speaking, he shamelessly showed his side face, swinging back and forth near her mouth.

Qin Yunuan looked around subconsciously. With no other nearby, it was extremely quiet. She then looked at the side face of Leng Changxi, which was close at hand. The outline of it was perfect and mysterious, and its edges seemed to be carved by some masters. Staring at him for a moment, Qin Yunuan was quite sure that she had truly fallen in love with the man before her eyes, who kept protecting her.

Due to her shyness, Qin Yunuan only raised her head and pecked Leng Changxi on the cheek. Such a peck filled his heart with endless satisfaction.

He lifted himself and raised a hand to pull her up. His cuff was rolled up by half because of the sudden movement, showing his muscular right arm and shoulder, and....

A black and complex tattoo of Kylin.

Qin Yunuan hesitated for a moment. Then everything was clear to her. Actually she should have considered the possibility. In her previous life, her marriage sedan was on fire at the gate of Prince Ning’s Mansion. So the one who could save her must be someone in it. However, it didn’t occur to her that her salvation who risked the danger to help her was Leng Changxi. His black tattoo of Kylin was the best evidence of that.

Noticing that Qin Yunuan was focused on the tattoo on his arm, Leng Changxi simply gave a brief explanation, “This arm had been injured before, leaving a long scar. So I covered it with a tattoo. If you don’t like it, I’ll scrape it off.” In fact, once a tattoo was gotten, it could not be removed. By “scrape it off”, he meant that he would tear away all the skin of the arm and let it grow again.

“You don’t need to do that.” Qin Yunuan hugged Leng Changxi’s neck suddenly. Leng Changxi was supposed to get up, but he had to bend over again, putting almost all his weight on Qin Yunuan.

He was about to say something when he heard the melodious and emotional voice of Qin Yunuan, “You don’t need to do that. I really like it. Thank you, Changxi. Thank you very much!”

Leng Changxi curled his lips, showing a satisfied smile. His voice became surprisingly gentle, “I know that you will pity me.” He thought that she was worried about his pain. In fact, Qin Yunuan was expressing her feelings about the coincidental love between them in her two lives.

She never had love in her previous life. Now it came to her, so she would definitely take the chance. Nobody could take it from her. She wouldn’t let it happen.

They lingered for a long time to talk to each other. At parting, Leng Changxi couldn’t help kissing again and again on her forehead and cheek, “It’s good that you will go to the Royal Temple. Recently those issues about the Dou Family and North Di are too complicated and dangerous. When you return forty-nine days later, everything will be settled. At that time, I can marry you in a magnificent ceremony. And you will be my wife, my only wife.”

Qin Yunuan lowered her head, tucked the straggly hair behind her ears, and nodded, “OK.”

“General, General Shang has caught the assassin with his people at 1.5 kilometers south-east from the campsite. They are on their way back.” Xue Si reported again.

He could not stay anymore.

“Remember, you can leave everything to me,” Leng Changxi told her finally.

Qin Yunuan’s heart was warmed and softened by his words. However, when she passed Imperial Concubine Duan’s tent, she accidentally heard a familiar reproach.

“Imperial Concubine Duan, this is the black-bone chicken soup with ginseng awarded by the empress. She knows that you spend so much time taking care of the Fourth Prince that you are weak now. So she orders it specifically for you for your health. Struggle no more!”

The one who spoke was nobody else but the fat nanny by Empress Chen’s side.

Qin Yunuan stopped subconsciously. Then she heard a mournful wail from Imperial Concubine Duan, “No! I won’t have it! I want to see the empress! I want to ask her why she does this to me after so much I’ve done for her in the passing years! I even killed my elder sister for her! She can’t treat me like that! It’s like ‘hiding a good bow after hunting all the birds, cooking the hounds after killing all the rabbits’. She can’t!”

Qin Yunuan was shocked by the words. When she wanted to keep listening, she found that the voice inside was broken. It seemed that Imperial Concubine Duan’s mouth was covered tightly. After that, there was the fierce sound of forced swallowing. Well, the so-called “black-bone chicken soup with ginseng” by the fat nanny must have been drunk completely by Imperial Concubine Duan.

Following was the careful order by the fat nanny, “You go to see around quickly whether there was anyone passing by just now. If there was someone, report it to the empress immediately.”

Soon there were intensive voices of footsteps from the tent. Qin Yunuan had no time to hide, so she would absolutely be found. Seeing a row of walking shadow coming, she gritted her teeth and took the courage to walk towards them. She strode and looked around in unison, shouting, “Sister Li, where are you? It’s all my fault! Please forgive me! Don’t run everywhere. The nanny is looking for you.”

As she had expected, she ran into something soft before she could finish her words. She turned her head and saw the fat nanny by the side of Empress Chen.

Qin Yunuan pretended to be flustered and gave a salute, “Hello, nanny. I was busy looking for someone just now, so I didn’t notice you. I’m terribly sorry.”

The fat nanny didn’t look kind as she always did. She spoke in a solemn and vigilant tone, “Why are you here?”

Qin Yunuan answered fluently, “Well, Li Weijun got angry because of my behavior in front of the emperor. I thought it was all because I was narrow-minded, so I wanted to apologize to her. However, she ran away once she saw me. I found her going here so I followed.” As she was saying, Qin Yunuan looked around as if there were such a thing, “It’s weird. Just now I saw her outside the tent, but now she isn’t there. Nanny, have you seen her?”

The fat nanny became nervous immediately. She gave a look to the maids beside her, suggesting them report the empress. Then she prevaricated harshly, “This is the tent of Imperial Concubine Duan. Why will Li Weijun come here? You must have misperceived. Now look for her there.”

Qin Yunuan seemed serious, “No way! I definitely saw her coming here.”

“Maybe you really misperceived.” The fat nanny pushed two maids to Qin Yunuan and asked them, “You two, follow the Third Miss of Qin Family to the tents in the east to look for Miss Li. Don’t be lazy.” The implied meaning was to ask them to supervise Qin Yunuan, making sure that she returned to the tent in the east so that she wouldn’t see something which shouldn’t be seen. Yes, the fat nanny was already asserted that Li Weijun had seen something just now. Even if she hadn’t seen anything, she couldn’t be tolerated.

Qin Yunuan curtseyed to the fat nanny with a smile and praised her kindness. She left with the two maids immediately. As soon as she returned to her tent, she saw that Li Weijun was taken away by two old nannies. Poor Li Weijun! She seemed a little excited, not knowing what would happen to her.

“Is the empress going to see me? Only me? No other?” her tone was very happy.

“Sure.”

Li Weijun confirmed her luck gained with difficulty. When she found Qin Yunuan was back with a glance, she raised her head up at once and snorted at Qin Yunuan with extreme pride.

Soon, news came that Imperial Concubine Duan had admitted all the details of poisoning her sister, Imperial Concubine Shu. The emperor prepared to banish her to the cold palace in great anger. However, Imperial Concubine Duan didn’t want to be humiliated, so she committed suicide by taking poison in the tent.

“What about the Fourth Prince, Sima Han?” Qin Yunuan asked Leng Wu, the messenger.
