Chapter 854: Feng Tianlan Meets the State Preceptor

Feng Tianlan replied with a soft ‘uh-huh . ’ When she remembered what she promised He Lian last night, she said, “Things happened so suddenly last night that I didn’t even have the chance to send He Lian off . Did you meet him?”

“No . I didn’t meet him . ” Xi Lin looked around . Her hands were tightly clenched under the blanket while her pale face started blushing suspiciously .

When Feng Tianlan saw her in this state, she couldn’t help but tease her . “Did you lie to me saying that you were asleep last night because you went to meet He Lian?”

“No, it’s not like that . Don’t make a wild guess . ” Xi Lin raised her head and stared at Feng Tianlan as if she was angry and embarrassed after being exposed .

When Feng Tianlan saw Xi Lin behaving this way, she stopped teasing her and stopped saying how good He Lian was . This was because He Lian was an emperor . He would definitely have countless concubines in his imperial harem . If Xi Lin were to get married to him, even if she were to become the Empress, her life would still be very tough .

One would only feel blissful getting married to an emperor if he eradicated the imperial harem system and kept only one wife by his side . Otherwise, how could one even feel happy?

The two of them then talked for a while longer . After making sure that Xi Lin was just catching a cold, Feng Tianlan finally got up and left .

Xi Lin was rather absentminded as she watched Feng Tianlan’s figure slowly disappearing before her eyes . She then opened her shirt slightly after a while and looked downwards at her snow-white skin that was covered with hickeys . She could remember how intense it was last night at the West Partial Palace .

She couldn’t help but touch her tender, white neck that was initially filled with hickeys . She had removed them with some ointment . However, she couldn’t bear to remove the hickeys on her body that could be covered with her clothes .

She then applied another type of ointment on the obvious hickey on her left breast so that they would be there for the rest of her life . That was the only memory she had with He Lian; the only sexual memory . To her, this was extremely precious . She could feel blissful for the rest of her life just by thinking about this memory!

That was enough . It really was enough . She was contented!

…

Feng Tianlan was sitting in Jialan Hall . She was looking at the weird talismans that were all over the place . She then raised her head and looked at the roof that was made out of a special material that allowed her to see the outside world through it . It was just like an open roof . She was thinking about how pretty the scenery would be if she could see the sky full of stars when she looked up at night .

She paced towards the painting that was hanging on the wall then raised her head and looked at it . The woman in the painting was standing under the moonlight and looking up at the crescent moon with her red dress pooling on the floor . Although she could only see her side profile, she found that woman rather familiar .

Around the woman’s feet were red spider lilies that looked enchanting, evil, and bloodthirsty . They really set off the woman from the painting . One couldn’t help but feel touched by the image .

Besides, she could actually feel the sorrow of the woman from the painting . Even if all she could see was the side profile or the corner of the woman’s eye, she could really feel it . She also felt a suffocating pain in her heart, as if she was the person in the painting, causing it to become hard for her to breathe .

“Since Miss could relate so much to the painting, I would like to give this painting to Miss,” a voice said .

When Feng Tianlan heard that rather illusory voice, she withdrew from her thoughts . The suffocating pain disappeared immediately . When she raised her head and looked towards the source of that voice, she saw a very handsome man whose white clothes made him look as if he was in the clouds . However, such a handsome young man was actually giving off a sage-like vibe .

The man in front of her was the only person other than Mobai who could wear white like a celestial being . Besides, from her memory, there were only a few old men who gave off this sage-like aura .

“Thank you for that, State Preceptor . ” Feng Tianlan looked away . She couldn’t help but accept his offer when she looked up at the painting that she related to so much .
