Chapter 1026: Shen Qingdai’s Parents Are Still Alive?
Feng Tianlan looked up at his calm manner, completely unaffected by how she had appeared in front of him so suddenly. It reminded her of the past, of how the Dongshu Emperor was toward her. He was very tolerant, and the Queen was also very fond of her. She did not regard her as an outsider. Her love for her was no less than that for Xi Lin at all.
Indeed, if it had not been for her identity, perhaps their love for her would cause someone to mistake them as her parents. But now that such a thing had happened, the love in the past disgusted her and made her feel resentful, just like Shen Bokang’s love for her.
Why did everyone who was good to her come with all kinds of ill intent? Whether to atone for one’s crime or those seeking to deceive her, she was like a fool. She was even grateful and virtuous as well as having good relationships with their children.
“I thought you’d be here after what happened that day. I didn’t expect it to be so long.” The Dongshu Emperor looked at Si Mobai beside her and then regarded her. There was no panic in his eyes, only calmness and a hint of relief.
Feng Tianlan looked at him and only felt a fury in her heart burning her. She said, “Do you think I am so stupid that I would still be deceived until now?”
She long had an inkling but dared not think that way. She’d rather believe that a person who could raise Xi Jin and Xi Lin to be such good people certainly could not be a bad person themself, but now…
She was deceived once again. Feng Tianlan was furious. She wanted to destroy him and this royal study, overthrow Dongshu Nation. It seemed that only in this way could her fury be extinguished.
“Your father and mother are alive,” the Dongshu Emperor said in a low voice.
“What… what did you say?” Feng Tianlan jerked her head up in shock to look at him. Then she immediately looked cold again. An icicle suddenly appeared in her hand and she pointed it at him while saying, “You’re lying to me again!”
She should not have wasted her breath on him!
The Dongshu Emperor looked at the icicle in her hand and did not panic at all. He said, “In fact, this matter should have been told to you two years ago after your Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Who knew when that incident happened, I thought I would never reveal it in this life? I did not expect that there would still be a chance.”
Feng Tianlan said coldly, “Do you think I’ll still believe you?”
Her Coming-of-Age Ceremony, again with the Coming-of-Age Ceremony. What did this have to do with it?
“Then you should at least finish listening to me. Like what Shen Yunya said, since I am just an accomplice, then there is still the real murderer. Don’t you want to know?” The Dongshu Emperor calmly looked at her as before and continued, saying, “You must not be so impulsive. It will make you lose your reason. A person should remain calm at all times in order to do things well.”
Feng Tianlan’s eyes hardened as she glared at him. She did not need anyone to preach to her, least of all him!
“Lan’er, hear what he has to say first.” Si Mobai reached out to hold Feng Tianlan’s hand and took the icicle from her. For more than a month, no matter what method they used, Shen Bokang had not revealed the real murderer.
So, it could be assumed that they would not get anywhere with Shen Bokang.
When her cold hand was covered by his warm one, that gentle voice like a warm current extinguished the fury in her heart. She sneered at the Dongshu Emperor, saying, “I want to see you how you are going to quibble.”
The Dongshu Emperor was still not annoyed. He stood up and walked toward Feng Tianlan. Si Mobai instinctively stepped in front of her to protect her from danger. His cold eyes looked at the Emperor warily.
“It is what your mother wanted me to hand to you after you came of age, before her departure.” The Dongshu Emperor took out a letter from his Storage Ring and handed it to her as he said, “In fact, you are good like this. At least there’s still hope for your father and mother.”
