“Besides, I only learned about the existence of Tianfeng Nation, which possesses terrifying strength on the Xuantian Continent after she said so. Therefore, I didn’t know anything more than that.”
Feng Tianlan was still staring at him doubtfully because she didn’t know which of his words were true.
“With your current ability, it wouldn’t be hard for you to get into the Heaven Soul Pagoda and the Earth Soul Pagoda. If you were to go there, you will know if what I said was true. I must protect the Dongshu Nation. Hence, I can’t go anywhere. If you still think that I am lying three years later, you are welcome to find me for vengeance.” The Dongshu Emperor said magnanimously, because everything he said was true.
Feng Tianlan lowered her head and looked at the letter which had the words ‘To my child, private and confidential.’ written on it. She was still little back then, therefore, she couldn’t remember her mother’s handwriting. However, since Mobai told her that the Spiritual Force on the seal was the same as the Spiritual Force on the safety rune, there wouldn’t be a mistake.
“I believe you for now.” Feng Tianlan said to him as she raised her head. However, she finally felt a sense of relief. Honestly, she was afraid that she would fall out with Xi Lin because of this. After all, she was the Sister Lin who doted her very much.
At that moment, the voice of a eunuch was heard from outside. “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wishes to see you.”
Right after he said those words, the huge red doors were pushed open. Xi Jin ran in with his forehead soaked with sweat. He looked extremely anxious. “Father…”
“Crown Prince Xi.” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at Xi Jin indifferently.
After hearing her voice, Xi Jin looked towards Feng Tianlan and Si Mobai, then towards his own father. He was stunned for a while. “You guys…”
The palace guard reported to him that Feng Tianlan went to look for Shen Yunya and said something about his father being an accomplice in Dai’er’s parents’ death. They said that Dai’er was coming over to seek revenge. He then rushed over here without bothering if their report was true.
He was really afraid that the two of them would go separate ways once again if something of that sort were to happen. The next time they meet would be on a battlefield. This was the last thing he wanted to happen.
“Did you come because of what Shen Yunya said?” Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Jin.
Xi Jin nodded while clenching his fists softly. He was extremely nervous. “If my father really did anything, I will pay on his behalf. That way, Lin’er didn’t have to be in a difficult spot too.”
Both Lin’er and her wouldn’t have to be in difficult positions and the feud between their families would be resolved.
Feng Tianlan laughed. “How can you believe what Shen Yunya said? There isn’t any evidence right now. I won’t fall for her tricks.”
“Dai’er…”
“Crown Prince Xi, I am Feng Tianlan. I have been Feng Tianlan for three years.” Feng Tianlan seriously explained her identity. She was Dai’er in her previous life. However, she was currently a whole new person. Therefore, she didn’t want to use her previous identity anymore.
Xi Jin looked at her and nodded softly. “Tianlan.”
Feng Tianlan turned around and bid farewell to the emperor. Xi Jin was following right behind them. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
“Crown Prince Xi, is the baby in Secondary Consort Luo’s womb yours?” Feng Tianlan’s fingers were interlocking with Si Mobai’s. She didn’t have any interest in that previously. However, she suddenly felt like asking him right now.
Xi Jin was stunned for a while. He stared at her as his face turned pale. He then nodded. “Yes.”
After that, he went to look for the state preceptor once again. He asked the state preceptor what he had to sacrifice if he wanted to hear what they were saying and see everything that happened before and after that scene.
The state preceptor’s replied surprised him. However, he agreed to his request without any hesitation.
Since he was asked to pay such a price and he refused to marry another woman, yet he wanted to give his parents a grandchild, he had no choice but to have sex with Luo Shiyun in the end.
