Chapter 82: Cruel Prince 31

With one arm wrapped around Tang Wan’s waist, Feng Qitong lowered his head close to her ear and whispered:

“Ai Consort, if you keep looking at this prince like that, I’ll carry you straight back to your boudoir and thoroughly deal with you.”

Tang Wan froze before looking at him blankly and innocently.

How was I looking at you?

I was clearly just looking normally, okay?

Seeing her utterly confused expression, Feng Qitong only felt the heat inside him rise even more intensely.

This little fairy truly must have cast some kind of spell on him.

Otherwise, why would simply seeing her make him want to pin her down immediately?

At that moment, Elder Tang hurried over.

“Your Highness!”

Only then did Feng Qitong suppress the burning restlessness inside him and slowly release Tang Wan.

“Grandfather,” Feng Qitong said calmly, “this prince suddenly remembered there is still official business left unfinished. I’ll take Wanwan back first and visit Grandfather another day.”

Hearing this, Elder Tang hurriedly replied:

“State affairs are important. This old minister respectfully sees Your Highness off.”

“Mm.”

Then Feng Qitong directly took Tang Wan’s hand and strode toward the entrance of the Tang residence.

Watching the two leave hand in hand, Elder Tang’s eyes widened slightly before he finally sighed in relief.

It seemed the Crown Prince truly liked Wanwan.

Now he could finally rest easy.

What Elder Tang didn’t know, however, was that the moment Feng Qitong brought Tang Wan back to the Crown Prince’s residence, he immediately carried her into the bedroom and began enthusiastically “handling official business.”

Tang Wan: “...”

At this rate, one day you’re definitely going to destroy your kidneys.

...

Only after Tang Wan repeatedly begged for mercy did Feng Qitong finally let her go.

Then he pulled her into his chest and locked her tightly in his embrace.

“Ai Consort,” Feng Qitong suddenly said softly, “you are not allowed to leave this prince’s side. Understand?”

Hearing this, Tang Wan only managed a tired hum in response before closing her eyes heavily against his chest.

Her poor waist truly couldn’t endure this man’s stamina.

Even so, Feng Qitong was already very satisfied with that simple response.

Then he reached out and gently rubbed her swollen lips with his fingertips.

...

By this time, the entire capital already knew that the Crown Prince had personally accompanied Tang Wan back to her family residence in grand fashion.

The return gifts alone filled two full carts.

Thus, all previous rumors claiming Tang Wan would quickly fall out of favor or die after marrying Feng Qitong completely collapsed overnight.

“I heard His Royal Highness treasures Miss Tang tremendously! On the return visit alone, he brought enough gifts to fill two entire carts!”

“No wonder His Royal Highness ignored etiquette and insisted on marrying her immediately. He truly likes her!”

...

Meanwhile, inside Liuxiang Tower in the capital—

Within a private room on the top floor, a young man dressed in purple spoke irritably:

“Second Imperial Brother, were we played by Feng Qitong?”

According to their original plan, they intended to catch Feng Qitong and Tang Wan together on the spot.

Even in the worst-case scenario, Feng Qitong’s violent disorder should have caused him to kill Tang Wan after losing control.

That way, both the Crown Prince’s reputation and the Tang family’s reputation would suffer greatly.

Elder Tang was famously upright and principled. If Feng Qitong violated his beloved granddaughter like that, then even if Tang Wan eventually entered the Crown Prince’s residence, Elder Tang would still harbor resentment toward him.

As long as they applied a little pressure afterward, Elder Tang would definitely never support the Crown Prince again.

But somehow—

not only did Feng Qitong escape unscathed, Elder Tang even ended up becoming extremely satisfied with him.

Everything they prepared had ultimately benefited Feng Qitong instead.

How could they not feel furious?

...

Hearing the purple-robed youth’s words, the Second Prince’s face turned icy cold.

“Feng Qitong alone couldn’t have managed this,” he said slowly.

“Someone must have secretly helped him.”

“Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for him to suddenly disappear from the side hall together with Tang Wan that night.”

The Second Prince understood Feng Qitong very well.

He knew Feng Qitong’s violent disorder was real—not an act.

Once Feng Qitong lost control, even if he consciously knew something was wrong, he still wouldn’t be able to restrain himself.

Not to mention—

the wine that night had also contained medicine specifically designed to worsen Feng Qitong’s condition.

But what the Second Prince couldn’t understand was this:

How exactly had Feng Qitong escaped the trap?
