"Princess, please step aside …" Russell frowned.
"Eunuch, our enemy is Feng Qi Qi, not the Crown Prince!"
"Princess, you're confused! How could Feng Xiao be the Crown Prince of our Southern Phoenix Kingdom? His surname is Feng, and he's the son of that witch. He's your enemy! "
I didn't want to step aside even though Russell had said that. I've always believed that Feng Xiao is innocent in this matter. When my father died, Feng Xiao was only around my age. How could it be his fault? The one who should die is Feng Qi Qi and Mingyue Cheng!
"Eunuch, you can't kill Feng Xiao. The people we want to kill are Mingyue Cheng and Feng Qi Qi. They're the ones who killed my father! "
Russell was helpless against my insistence. Russell could only retreat and lead his men to the other palaces. For a moment, the East Palace was brightly lit and noisy. Just as I thought the dust had settled and the Southern Phoenix Kingdom would return to my hands, a sword was placed on my neck.
"You … When did you wake up?" I looked at Feng Xiao in shock. Nalan Zhu, the matron of honor, and the palace maids all stood up.
"I've been awake the whole time." Feng Xiao's voice was still deep and magnetic, but it was cold to the bone.
Everything my father had left for me was buried tonight. The people hiding in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace were dug out, and Mingyue Cheng executed them all with lightning speed. Before Russell died, he heaved a long sigh at me. It was as if he was disappointed that I didn't live up to his expectations. It was also as if he was feeling guilty for not completing the task my father had assigned to him.
As for the others, they died with resentment and resentment. I knew that Russell's loyalty was unquestionable. But the others, after being safe for so long, were awakened by my arrival and stepped onto the path of death. That was why they hated me. I could see it in their eyes.
"Kill me …" I looked at the people on the high platform in despair. It was the first time I had spoken. Besides Feng Xiao, the others were surprised.
"You can talk? Rong Hua, why did you do that? "Phoenix looked at me in disbelief.
In these five years, she treated me as her best friend. She shared her happiness and sorrows with me. She even told me her little secret of having a crush on Mingyue Cheng. She never discriminated against me because I was a mute girl. She sincerely took care of me and treated me as an equal.
Looking at the phoenix's beautiful eyes, all of the good things she had done for me appeared in my mind. In terms of character, bearing, and kindness, I couldn't compare to the woman in front of me. She was the embodiment of perfection, making me feel ashamed of my inferiority. It was probably because of this that I wanted to destroy her happiness, because I was unwilling. I was the true princess!
I closed my eyes and tried my best to push away the thoughts of Phoenix from my mind. She's the daughter of a witch. She's not my friend. She'll never be!
When I opened my eyes again, they had regained their calmness and indifference. I looked at Feng Xiao, but he didn't look at me. Instead, he was holding Na Lanzhu's hand tightly. Their hands were intertwined. It was so dazzling that it made my heart ache.
"You knew who I was, didn't you?" Although I was only fourteen, almost fifteen years old, my voice had a maturity that didn't match my age. There was also a trace of dryness that came from not speaking for a long time.
"Yes." Feng Xiao lifted his head. His purple eyes were cold and emotionless, which scared me. It was one thing to know, but another to admit. It turned out that my path of revenge had failed right from the beginning.
"Then why did you bring me back? Why did you hug me?!" I shouted hysterically.
Feng Xiao would never know that his hug had been my motivation for many years. He was so clean and beautiful, and he didn't mind the dirt on me. When he had carried me, I had been reminded of my father's embrace. It had been so warm and refreshing.
"Because you are the last princess of the dynasty."
At first, I didn't understand what Feng Xiao had said. It was only later that I understood.
After I had been imprisoned in Listening Buddha Temple, I had learned a lot about what had happened in the past. Because Feng Xiao had said, 'A child is innocent,' Mingyue Cheng had given up on investigating my whereabouts. He had brought me back because he wanted to preserve the Ming family's bloodline. To protect him, Imperial Uncle had executed many people. Feng Xiao wasn't a cold-blooded person. He didn't want Mingyue Cheng to bear too much infamy. That was why he had brought me back to the East Palace. However, I had failed the opportunity that Feng Xiao had given me.
The person who had told me these things was Phoenix. When she had come to see me, she had already become Mingyue Cheng's bride. I had seen the so-called happiness on Phoenix's face. That sweet smile had diluted the melancholy she had accumulated for many years. Seeing her happiness, I was truly happy for her.
"Rong Hua, Cheng has kept your title. If you want, you can leave this place at any time to find a new life. My brother will help you too! "
When Phoenix had left, the doors of Listening Buddha Temple that had been closed for many years were no longer locked. Looking at the open world outside, I knew that they had given me freedom.
During my days in Listening Buddha Temple, I had never felt so peaceful before. After living in revenge for so many years, I had forgotten my age. I was only eighteen years old, the prime of my youth. However, when I looked at the outside world, I couldn't move my feet.
Perhaps, this was the best place for me. Listening to the Buddha's voice could give my soul, which had been immersed in hatred, a moment of peace.
