By the time Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi returned to the Southern Lin Palace, Wanyan Lie's imperial edict had already arrived, conferring Murong Qiqi the title of State Princess. When the news reached the Southern Lin Palace, the entire palace was in an uproar.
"How could this be? How did the Princess become the State Princess? "Just when everyone was in shock, Feng Cang carried Murong Qiqi down the carriage. When he saw Murong Qiqi's face, Feng Qi's mouth fell open, "Princess …"
Feng Qi's words attracted everyone's attention to Murong Qiqi's face. These were the elders of the Southern Lin Palace who had served Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue. Now that they saw a girl who looked exactly like Wanyan Mingyue, their eyes widened and their mouths dropped.
Only Feng Yu was attentive enough to recognize that Murong Qiqi was wearing the robe that the Princess wore this morning. However, why did Murong Qiqi look exactly like Wanyan Mingyue? Feng Yu was very surprised, "Princess, you …"
Murong Qiqi did not want to speak and only buried her head in Feng Cang's chest. Seeing her so upset, Feng Cang helped her up, "It has been verified. Murong Qiqi is this Prince's biological sister, the daughter of Father and Mother!"
"What?!" The news from Feng Cang's own mouth was too shocking and frightening. Everyone finally understood why the Emperor's imperial edict conferred Murong Qiqi the title of State Princess. So she was the daughter of General Feng Xie and Princess Mingyue!
"Miss …" Su Mei and Su Yue were stunned and stood there in a daze. When Murong Qiqi revealed her true appearance, they were shocked. When they found out that she was Feng Cang's younger sister, they were even more shocked. How could this be? Miss and Young Master were so loving, how did they become brother and sister after entering the palace?
"T-then yesterday …" Even Feng Qi, who had been through a lot, stuttered. One moment she was the Princess, the next moment, she became the Princess. Wasn't this a mess? Moreover, His Highness and the Princess had consummated their marriage yesterday, wouldn't that mean … Feng Qi did not dare to imagine the consequences.
"We are fine." Feng Cang summed up last night's incident with one sentence. Feng Cang carried Murong Qiqi back to Tingsong Pavilion.
From the moment they boarded the carriage to the Southern Lin Palace, Murong Qiqi did not utter a word. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to get along with Feng Cang in the future. Previously, he was still thinking about how to hide it, but he didn't expect Li Qiushui to expose the truth today. It turned out that her previous thoughts were all thoughts of deceiving herself and others. There was only one truth, but it was so cruel that it made her wish she was dead.
Feng Cang was also very sad for Murong Qiqi. He poured some water and fed it to Murong Qiqi. "Qingqing, drink some water! If you continue to cry like this, my last line of defense will collapse! "
"Brother, you can't call me Qingqing anymore. You should call me Little Sister …"
Hearing those words, Murong Qiqi's tears rolled down her face once more. Her palm-sized face looked even more pitiful than before.
"No! It's not like that! "Feng Cang could not help but hug Murong Qiqi tightly." Qingqing, it's not like that! You are not my sister, and I am not your brother. We are not brother and sister, not brother and sister! "
"Bro … don't lie to yourself." Murong Qiqi was even sadder. "Bro, we'll never be able to love each other …"
"No —"
"Qingqing, listen to me!" Feng Cang hugged Murong Qiqi and stared into her teary eyes. "I am not your brother. We are not related by blood. I am an adopted child of the general and the princess! We are not biological siblings! "
Feng Cang's words left Murong Qiqi dumbfounded. She could not help but reach out to caress Feng Cang's face and look at him pitifully. "Bro, I know you might not be able to accept this right now, but the truth cannot be changed!"
"No!" Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qiqi's hand, his eyes anxious. "I'm telling the truth! My surname is not Feng! I'm not your brother! "
"Bro …"
"Don't call me Bro!" Feng Cang covered Murong Qiqi's mouth to prevent her from saying the word that would break her heart.
Murong Qiqi's tears flowed even more profusely. She could not accept this, and he could not accept it either. But what could she do? Their identities as siblings had already been confirmed. Once the world knew that she was Feng Cang's sister, there was no doubt about it.
Sensing the tears on his face, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qiqi's lips. She cried silently. He could not bear to see her so sad.
"Qingqing, I'm really not your brother. I'm the son of an old friend of the general …"
Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cang's parents had died in an accident. Coincidentally, Wanyan Mingyue had given birth to a child who had caught a cold and was about to die. Feng Xie had brought the infant Feng Cang back, and with Wanyan Mingyue's consent, Feng Cang had become their child. He had lived on as the eldest son of the Feng family.
"Then you …" Murong Qiqi felt that it was too unbelievable for her to hear this from Feng Cang's mouth. She even suspected that Feng Cang was making up this story to comfort her and make her feel better.
"My surname is Long."
Long! Murong Qiqi's eyes suddenly widened as she stared at Feng Cang's face. "There aren't many people with the surname Long in this world. The surname of the former Qin Dynasty was Long … "
Murong Qiqi had guessed his identity so quickly. Feng Cang chuckled and tucked her hair behind her head. "That's right, Qingqing. My identity is exactly what you think it is!"
This explosive news nearly caused Murong Qiqi to faint. Feng Cang was the prince of the former Qin Dynasty? Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cang was born. Twenty-five years ago was the time when the former Qin Dynasty was divided and destroyed by the three kingdoms. So, Feng Cang's father was the emperor of the former Qin Dynasty?
"You are …" Murong Qiqi thought for a long time, but she could not find the words to describe Feng Cang's identity.
"Remnant of the former Qin Dynasty …"
Feng Cang's description of himself made Murong Qiqi burst into laughter. Although she did not know why Feng Xie would take Feng Cang in during such a turbulent time, there must be a reason!
"Your Highness, you're not lying to me, are you?" Because of her smile, the sadness on Murong Qiqi's face faded. Her nose was red, and the skin around her eyes was also red from her tears.
