"What a bunch of idiots!" When Murong Qiqi heard the rumors, her lips curled into a mocking smirk. "If we really want the throne, we can just start a rebellion! Why would we resort to such underhanded methods? They are just trying to humiliate us! "
"Alright, don't be angry! It won't be pretty if you are angry! "
Regardless of what the outside world was saying, Feng Cang continued to do as he pleased. He entered the Eternal Autumn Palace at night and came out in the morning.
After this period of climbing over the walls, Feng Cang seemed to have developed an unprecedented interest in climbing over the palace walls. He arrived on time every day, and the men in black "monitoring" them did not even need to guess to know when the Southern Lin Duke would appear and leave.
Not only at night, but the first thing Feng Cang did after the morning assembly was to report to Murong Qiqi.
"I don't care what others think, but I'm worried about Ah Kang … He was not there that day and did not see what happened. If he believes those rumors, I'm afraid he will become estranged from you. After all, you are brothers who grew up together. I don't want you and Ah Kang to be unable to be friends because of a misunderstanding! "
Wan Yankang had been assigned a task by Wanyan Lie that day at the palace banquet and did not show up. He only found out about what had happened when he returned.
Murong Qiqi did not see Wan Yankang in the past two days. She sent someone to ask if he was with Lin Kexin at the Meditation Palace. Murong Qiqi was worried about Wan Yankang and was even more worried that this matter would affect the friendship between Wan Yankang and Feng Cang.
Feng Cang did not have many friends, and it was rare for someone as loyal as Wan Yankang to support him. However, he was now facing a conflict between family and friendship. She did not know if Wan Yankang would be able to view this matter in a fair and impartial manner.
"Qingqing …" Feng Cang felt warmth in his heart when he saw Murong Qiqi worry for him. He gently kissed Murong Qiqi's brows. "You said that Ah Kang and I are brothers who grew up together. We are brothers, and we will never be separated."
Feng Cang's words made his stand clear. No matter what happened, he would not go against Wan Yankang.
Murong Qiqi was very happy to know that Feng Cang truly treated Wan Yankang as a friend. She knew the loneliness of being at the top, so it was very precious for Feng Cang to have a sincere friendship with him. of course. He hoped that Wanyan Kang would treat Feng Cang the same way Feng Cang treated him.
As the two of them chatted, Su Yue mentioned that Wan Kang had arrived. Hearing this, Murong Qiqi stood up happily, "Quick, invite him in!"
Wan Yankang walked in with a pair of red eyes. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well and had cried, so his handsome almond-shaped eyes looked a little listless.
"Ah Kang, you are here!"
Murong Qiqi was very happy to see Wanyan Kang again. She quickly gave Su Yue a look, telling her to call Su Mei over.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law …" Wan Yankang's voice was a little hoarse. Murong Qiqi personally poured him a glass of water, and after drinking it, Wan Yankang looked a little more normal.
"How is your mother?" Murong Qiqi knew that there were some things that Feng Cang couldn't say, so she took the initiative to be the middleman and asked about Lin Kexin.
Hearing Murong QiQi mention Lin Kexin, Wan Yankang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Lady Mother doesn't eat or drink. She only holds onto Second Brother's clothes and keeps calling out Second Brother's name."
Wan Yankang only briefly described Lin Kexin's current situation, but Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang could imagine what it was like. Such a strong-willed woman had become like this. She was really not the same as before. However, if she hadn't schemed against others, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state!
Looking at Wan Yankang's haggard appearance, Murong Qiqi couldn't help but think of Wan Yankang's sorrowful appearance on the sixth floor of the seven-storey pagoda. Lin Kexin only had her eldest son, Wanyan Yi, in her heart. How could she not think of her youngest son's feelings? Even now, she was still thinking of Wanyan Yi. How could Wan Yankang not feel sad?
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, I came here today to ask you about something."
After telling them about Lin Kexin's situation, Wan Yankang's expression became somewhat solemn, and his eyes revealed a serious stubbornness.
As if he had guessed that Wan Yankang would say this, Feng Cang nodded and said, "Ask away. As long as I know the answer, I will tell you the truth."
Feng Cang's attitude caused Wan Yankang's determination to waver. However, it only lasted for a moment. He gritted his teeth and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, "What happened to my second brother, were you the one behind it?"
Wan Yankang's question obviously meant that he had overheard something. It seemed that some misunderstandings couldn't be avoided even if they wanted to. Murong Qiqi wanted to answer, but Feng Cang stopped her. Faced with Wan Yankang's question, Feng Cang calmly looked into his eyes and simply replied, "No."
After Feng Cang answered his question, Wan Yankang's expression seemed to relax a little. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he forced a smile. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes as he felt that he shouldn't have asked Feng Cang this question.
"I don't know why, but after hearing Cousin's words, I feel that the heavy stone in my heart has disappeared. I grew up with Cousin, and after so many years, I know very well what kind of person he is. However, when I saw Lady Mother crying and saying that Cousin had killed Second Brother, my heart still wavered a little … "
"I'm sorry, there was a moment when I suspected Cousin. I'm really … sorry!"
There was a saying that a man shouldn't easily shed tears. However, after Wan Yankang said 'I'm sorry', tears actually rolled down his cheeks.
"Compared to Second Brother, I had a better relationship with Cousin. I treated him as my real brother and neglected him a lot. Although I didn't like Second Brother, he was still my real brother. Therefore, when I heard about his death, I suspected Cousin … Now that Cousin said that you didn't do it, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. I, I … "
Wan Yankang's voice became choked with sobs. Feng Cang stepped forward and pulled Wan Yankang, who was half a head shorter than him, into his arms. "I understand what you mean, Ah Kang. I don't blame you!"
"Cousin …" Wan Yankang's eyes were red as he poured out all the grievances and emotions that he had been suppressing. "Cousin, my brother is dead, and my mother has gone crazy. I don't know what to do!"
