Chapter 207 Shocked, Behind the Gentle Smile were Threats

Bai Yihao pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the room empty, he knew Mo Xuetong must be inside. He had just heard that Fifth Princess had blocked the way and he left right after he set down the book and got down from the bed. He even forgot to bring the Qin. Then after he led all the misses to the Qin House did he realize that he had forgotten to bring the Qin. He knew Mo Xuetong was in the room and no others were suitable to get in. Therefore, he came by himself.

He had just taken the Qin and was ready to go out when a figure appeared who was a secret guard.

The secret guard knelt down and replied with something in his hand, “Sir, the First Prince was already…”

Bai Yihao hesitated for a minute and instantly realized something. Then he rushed in.

Mo Xuetong who was inside also hesitated. Before she could react, a white figure appeared. She was about to talk when her body softened and she passed out into complete darkness.

Bai Yihao reached out to hold her waist and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”

The secret guard was shocked. Seeing the sir rushing in so quickly and hearing someone passing out, he thought that his sir was in danger. Then he quickly moved and tried to rush in.

“Just reply outside.” Bai Yihao's cold voice rarely contained grimness and successfully stopped the secret guard.

The secret guard didn't dare to get in anymore and knelt outside on his one knee, “Sir, the First Prince hasn't been to the Qin Kingdom since he went back the last time. I put the painting on his desk, and he secretly dispatched people to look for the beauty in the painting. He even hardly went to the Empress's palace, which made the Empress quite unsatisfied.”

In the room, Bai Yihao lightly held Mo Xuetong with a gentle smile on his face. He reached out to feel her head. And the delicate and soft body leaned on him without the caution and distance she usually held. At the time, she was beautiful like a porcelain doll. She had those long and black eyelashes, a small nose and pink lips which were bright and sweet like honey. Her bushy long hair was a little disheveled, and some of it scattered on her pure white little face, which made the childish face look delicate and bring others' care for her.

His breath got a little rapid and his strong arms gently held the girl. His gentle face was somehow flushed.

He leaned over his head and gently put her soft body on the couch. Then he took the quilt over and carefully covered her in it and tucked her in. At last, he turned around and left.

Sitting in front of the Qin and touching the strings which made a nice sound, he lifted his lips and smiled, “Send the message out in the Yan Kingdom. How did the investigation go in the Qin Kingdom?”

The secret guard told him all and presented him with all the files he had searched these days, “I still didn't find who it was. Those misses from the duke's manors who were all about thirty years old were basically similar to each other. So I am not sure who it was. However, it couldn't possibly be Ding General Manor. Besides, Fu General Manor was the simplest. Their only miss married to Mo Manor in Cloud City years ago and died young.”

Four Great Manors each were described in separate files. In the files recorded the things happened in Four Great Manors these thirty years.

It was not detailed but very explaining.

Bai Yihao said lightly, “Pay more attention to the behaviors of King Yan, King Chu and their confidants who were restless.” He elegantly took over the files and casually flipped them.

The secret guard hesitated for a moment as if he didn't know whether to say it or not, “Yes, sir.”

“What?”

The secret guard said when he carefully observed Bai Yihao's expressions, “If you can marry Fifth Princess, then we can use the power of Qin Kingdom. By then even if the First Prince connects the power of the Empress and King Ning, what would…”

In the Qin Kingdom, all the people knew that Fifth Princess had affection for Bai Yihao and overdid it. Even Emperor Zongwen asked him secretly whether he would like to marry Fifth Princess. A marriage between two kingdoms was refused by Bai Yihao smilingly. The secret guard didn't know what Bai Yihao was thinking about.

Just marrying Fifth Princess would save a lot of trouble, but Bai Yihao would try the more complicated way.

Bai Yihao said lightly and didn't continue on the topic. “We'll talk about Fifth Princess later. Be careful about your behaviors and watch clearly the next time you walk in.”

Seeing that his sir didn't want to say anymore, the secret guard didn't dare to speak and stepped out. “Yes.”

Bai Yihao collected the files, stood up and returned to the room! His fingers flexibly pointed on Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong finally woke up from her deep sleep.

She opened her watery eyes, and those long eyelashes flashed with traces of hesitation. She suddenly forgot where she was. In front of her stood Bai Yihao who lowered his head and looked at her gently with raised lips. His smile was so elegant and gorgeous. The morning light shined from the outside, and yellow light landed on his face. His handsome was filled with a pure and transparent smile.

Bai Yihao lowered his eyes and his voice was clear and bright. “How are you? Why did you suddenly pass out?” Those pure eyes which seemed to be smiling looked at Mo Xuetong. His thin long fingers touched her quilt and then he casually sat on a chair by the bed. He seemed to have a lot to say.

Being looked at like this, Mo Xuetong felt very uncomfortable. More than that, her little face flushed and the red color spread to her ears and neck.

She bit her lips and hurriedly turned over. She didn't dare to look at those eyes full of tender affection which seemed particularly sincere and pure today. Those pure eyes made it hard for her to say that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to stay in one room alone. Besides, it was a special situation when she was indecently dressed, lying in bed.

Though he was decently dressed, he sat by the bed and looked at her like that.

She bit her lips again and hid away her shyness. Anyway, she had to get Bai Yihao out.

Mo Xuetong said with a red face, “Sir Bai, could you please get out for a while? I'm not decently dressed…”

“Do you want me to get it for you?” Bai Yihao's eyes fixed on the colorful and shiny clothes, which was from Fifth Princess. She definitely didn't like it.

Mo Xuetong's face even got redder, “No… Please leave first…” She felt like her whole face was burning and got very angry. But when he was talking ambiguously, his actions were still elegant and natural.

Bai Yihao narrowed his attractive eyes and smiling looked at her. “If someone comes in and sees this, he must think something has happened between us!”

His words were quite casual, which were bright and gentle as if he were talking about others' matters. Bai Yihao who seemed so pure described the situation between them using those filthy words.

Mo Xuetong was shocked and the flush on her face gradually went away. Her eyes got bright like water and her face turned pale, “What does it take to invite Sir Bai out?” She asked gently, and there was more caution in her eyes.

Bai Yihao smiled naturally, “I'm here today…”

Mo Xuetong pretended to be calm and said, “I didn't see anyone. Sir Bai just took the Qin and left.” Her hand was clenched into a fist under the quilt. Under such circumstance, she had to agree to whatever he would say.

“OK, then I'll take the Qin out. Third Miss Mo should also come out quickly and try the Qin.” Bai Yihao smiled naturally, with his long fingers touching her little white face. He cleared some hair which had fallen by her ear and looked at her so tenderly, “There are clothes in the left cabinet, and you can wear that one. It's white and suits you just fine.”

Mo Xuetong trembled in the quilt and her head leaned back to avoid his hand. Then she said lightly, “Thank you, Sir Bai.”

This time, Bai Yihao didn't say anything more. He just stood up, walked out, took the Qin and closed the door to go out.

Hearing the steps fade away, Mo Xuetong felt relieved and slowly exhaled. She held herself up and found her hand full of nervous sweat. She didn't know about how Bai Yihao was in the last life. But this life, she knew that just a moment ago, behind Bai Yihao's gentle smile were threats.

This Crown Prince was surely difficult to get along with, but it's fine that she didn't have a connection with him. She had to stay away from him as far as possible. Just then someone was coming to report to him, but he went first to her and made her pass out. But when she woke up, he didn't mention anything, so Mo Xuetong couldn't mention it.

Under that circumstance, she had to agree to whatever Bai Yihao said!

“Miss, I'm afraid the clothes won't be dry in a while!” Mo Lan pushed the door open and walked in with the wet clothes in her hands.

The white clothes definitely looked pure, but they washed hard. When stained, it couldn't be cleaned up with a little washing. Instead, there would be a grey water trace around it. Even if it was dried, the color of that place would be different from before. Therefore, it must be carefully washed up.

Seeing that the dress was basically not wearable, Mo Xuetong thought for a while and came to the left cabinet. She hesitated and then opened the door of the container. It was filled with clothes and robes, which were mainly white. But each of them was nicely embroidered. Though there was not much embroidery, it made the clothes have individual elegance and every one of them was excellent.

These were Bai Yihao's clothes. Mo Xuetong frowned and fixed her eyes on a dress inside. It was different from the others and was obviously for women. It was also in white with white sleeves. At the bottom of the dress were decorated with delicate blooms which were light blue with pale yellow stamen. It was so vivid that the whole dress looked more charming instead of plain.

Among all of Bai Yihao's clothes was this dress, which seemed trapped in a cage, so little and so cute!

Mo Lan followed her and asked surprisedly, “Miss, why is there a dress for women in Sir Bai's place?”

Maybe it's for someone of his, or he had some other intention… These all had nothing to do with her. Mo Xuetong didn't want to know about that. Now that she couldn't get out, she had to borrow the dress in his container.

When she was dressed in the clothes with Mo Lan's assistance, she realized that the dress was new and suited her so well as if it were tailored for her.

Mo Lan seemed to have realized something too. Her face turned pale, and she carefully flattened the dress for her, “Miss, this dress suits you so well!”

Mo Xuetong frowned. After she got dressed, she sat down, “When we're back, I'll get changed and you'll send the dress back. Don't give it to anyone else.”

Mo Lan instantly understood her meaning. “Yes.”

After they cleaned up, Mo Xuetong led Mo Lan out. They passed by a middle-sized garden. Following the sound of the Qin, they arrived at Bai Yihao's Qin House.

In the Qin House, Bai Yihao's hands didn't even lift. His long fingers just touched the strings and the sound was like a stream on a hill or clouds in the sky, which was extremely natural and free.

Mo Xuetong stood at the door for a while, then she left Mo Lan outside and calmly walked in.
