Chapter 564: The Beauty Portrait
“I don’t know whom others will choose. But if I had to choose between the emperor and the Demon Wargod, I’d definitely choose the Demon Wargod.”
“Now that I think about it, the ceremony of making her the consort was rather weird. How would a decent ceremony have such frivolous words? Besides, Feng Tianlan was already getting married to the Demon Wargod. When he’s crowned one day, she’ll become the queen of the South Winds Nation. Why would she come all the way to Beiqi Nation to become the imperial noble consort? She’s not an idiot.”
The crowd was becoming more doubtful about the ceremony of making her the consort. However, they still insisted that Feng Tianlan was a demon lady who destroyed countries. They just didn’t dare to say it out loud because they had witnessed her brutality.
“Miss Feng.” Wu Yuan jumped up and looked at Feng Tianlan who still had hints of anger between her eyebrows.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him. She then said faintly, “Young Master Wu.”
“Here.” Wu Yuan took out a painting and handed it over to Feng Tianlan. He was quite nervous. To hide his nervousness, he put up a sullen face. Those who didn’t know him would think that they had a blood feud.
Although it had been a month since he met her at the bordering small town, this was just the second time he had spoken to her. He had never had any other conversations with her.
Feng Tianlan looked at him with doubt. She then frowned slightly asking, “This is…?”
“The painting I found.” After saying that, Wu Yuan’s wheat-colored face started blushing uncontrollably. However, he realized that the person in the painting wasn’t her with just one look.
When he was looking for the painting, he was afraid that the person in the painting might really be her. Therefore, he looked for it personally instead of asking his underlings to do it. Hence, he was the only one who had seen this painting. Although the person in the painting wasn’t her, he still felt quite embarrassed.
Feng Tianlan suddenly thought about the painting that the imperial eunuch mentioned. Could this be the one?
After thinking about it, she unfolded the painting slowly. It was a portrait of a life-like naked woman. One would mistake her as the person in the painting at first glance. However, if one were to look closely, one would realize that only the facial outline was similar. Although the facial features were drawn based on her, the actual difference was huge.
Besides, the figure of the woman seemed familiar to her. She felt like it looked like Gu Yun’s. She then looked closely at the facial features and realized that they looked exactly like Gu Yun’s.
These were all Gu Yun’s ideas. Although she knew that it was Gu Yun in the painting, she still felt disgusted by it.
Wu Yuan was looking at Feng Tianlan worriedly and nervously. He wanted to explain that the person in the painting wasn’t her, but he was afraid that she would find out that he had seen the painting. Therefore, he was in a dilemma at that moment.
Feng Tianlan pulled up the Beiqi Emperor from the city walls and put the painting in front of him. “Is this the portrait that the eunuch mentioned?”
Although the Beiqi Emperor lifeblood was broken, he was fed the Quick Healing Pill. Therefore, he was still full of energy even though he felt pain in his lower body. Looking at such a beautiful painting, he felt an eagerness in his heart, but his hatred arose after feeling empty below. “This is you, Feng Tianlan. This is evidence of you seducing me. If it wasn’t for this painting, how would I have lost my senses? This was why I wanted to make you a noble consort.”
Feng Tianlan sniggered. She bit her fingertip and dotted a drop of blood on the woman’s forehead. She then put the painting in front of him again. “Look at it now. Who exactly is this?”
“Of course it’s…” The Beiqi Emperor looked at the person in the painting with a red dot on her forehead. After paying close attention at it, she looked incredibly like Gu Yun. He couldn’t help but call out, “Yun’er!”
Why did this naked woman look so much like Yun’er? Wasn’t it Feng Tianlan?
All this while, he had an intimate relationship with the noble consort with the painting in mind. In the end, the person in the painting wasn’t Feng Tianlan, but Yun’er instead?
