Chapter 121 His secret (1)
Qing Qing, listen to me! Feng Cang hugged Murong Qi Qi. His phoenix eyes stared at her tearful eyes, Im not your brother. We dont have any blood relations. Im a child adopted by general and princess! Were not biological siblings!
For a moment, Murong Qi Qi didnt react to Feng Cangs words. She sat there blankly. She couldnt help but reach out her hand and touch Feng Cangs face. She looked tenderly at him, Big brother, I know you may not be able to accept this fact at this moment, but its impossible to change the truth!
No! Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qis hand. His eyes showed eagerness, I told the truth! My surname is not Feng! Im not your big brother!
Big brother
Dont call me big brother! Feng Cang blocked Murong Qi Qis lips to stop her from calling out those words that made him sad.
Murong Qi Qi cried harder with Feng Cang being like this. He couldnt accept this matter. He really couldnt accept this matter. However, what could they do? Their identity as siblings has been determined. When they would announce it to the world; without doubt, she is Feng Cangs sister.
Feeling the wetness on her cheeks, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qi Qis lips. She cried silently and looked so sad, making his heart unable to bear it.
Qing Qing, Im truly not your big brother. Im the son of an old friend of general
Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cangs parents died in a disaster. It so happened that the child Wanyan Ming Yue gave birth to was just over a month, but because of a cold, he was at the deaths door. Feng Xie brought back the infant Feng Cang. After getting Wanyan Ming Yues consent, they let Feng Cang become their child and also let him survive under the identity of Feng clans eldest young master.
Then you These words coming out of Feng Cangs mouth were unimaginable to Murong Qi Qi. She even suspected that Feng Cang made up this story to appease her and let her not be sad.
My original surname was Long.
Long! Murong Qi Qi thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes opened wide and stared at Feng Cangs face. Everywhere beneath the sun, there are not many people with the surname Long. The former Qins imperial familys surname was Long
Feng Cang gently smiled at Murong Qi Qi for guessing his identity so soon. He pulled her hair on her forehead to the back, Thats right. Qing Qing, my identity is the same as the one youre thinking of!
This explosive news almost made Murong Qi Qi faint. Feng Cang was a prince of former Qin? Twenty-five years ago, Feng Cang was born. Twenty-five years ago was also the time the former Qin had been divided into three countries and perished. Then, Feng Cangs father was the former Qins emperor?
You are Murong Qi Qi thought for a long time, but didnt come up with the words to describe Feng Cangs identity.
The remaining evil element of former Qin
Murong Qi Qi laughed at the Feng Cangs description of himself. Although she didnt know why Feng Xie took Feng Cang in during that turbulent time, but there must have been a reason!
Wangye,1 youre no lying to me, right? Because of her smile, most of the sadness disappeared from Murong Qi Qis face. Her small nose was red. Because of her crying, the skin around her eyes was also red.
No! Im really not your big brother! Seeing Murong Qi Qi happy, Feng Cang also slowly put down his worries.
Then whats your real identity?
Dont know why, although Murong Qi Qi wanted to continue doubting his words, but the trust she had in Feng Cang let her put all her uncertainties and hesitations into her stomach and didnt say them out loud. Believe him! That was the voice coming from the bottom of Murong Qi Qis heart.
Be good. Let me tell you slowly. Feng Cang laughed at Murong Qi Qis impatience. He tickled her red nose and wiped her tears for her.
My biological father was the former Qins crown prince Long Yu. My birth mother was Dong Lus princess Xia Wan Ying.
It turned out that former Qins crown prince Long Yu and Dong Lus princess Xia Wan Ying were married. Also, the two had met in private before marrying. Long Yu brimmed over with talent. Xia Wan Ying was beautiful and touching. Gifted scholar and beautiful lady. They fell in love at first sight. Originally, it was a beautiful story. However, later, a series of misfortunes happened.
Gifted scholar and beautiful lady: a pair of ideal lovers
At that time, not only did the state head Ming Bu Zhi have the thoughts to revolt, he also whispered in my grandfathers ears and told him that there were only few women like my mother. Grandfather liked beauties and was naturally moved. Before the marriage, he used the reason that the rebels were encircling and sent my father away (to combat the rebels). He then kidnapped the Dong Lu princess,,, who had come for a marriage alliance, into the palace
Ah, Listening here, Murong Qi Qi screamed. That old emperor truly had no shame! That was his daughter-in-law! That was the crown princess, ah!
Hearing Murong Qi Qi saying this, Feng Cang could only laugh bitterly. He kissed that cinnabar mole on Murong Qi Qis forehead.
My father couldnt accept the fact that his wife had changed into his consort mother. With the support of great general Wanyan Zhi, he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate and get his wife back. He didnt imagine that this was a trap set by others.
Grandfather suddenly died. State head Ming Bu Zhi, the minister of personnel Longze Lan and great general Wanyan Zhi ganged together. Using the reason that my father had committed treason, they attacked my father. My father died protecting my mother
Then, what happened to your mother?
Listening till here, Murong Qi Qis heart was beating very fast. She could completely imagine the scene of the crown prince who lived for love, protecting his wife. Those who were hateful, were those people who calculated them. They were truly sinister and careful! Without any sense of shame and they were despicable!
My mother hid among the commoners. It was a servant of Feng family who hid her and saved her life. General and my biological father were friends. In the past, general, my father and Wanyan Lie; the three grew up together. Their relationship was the best. However, the ambition of Wanyan family to usurp the throne had been kept from general and my fatherLater when my father was met with calamity, general blamed himself. After recognizing my mother, he protected her all the way. At that time, my mother was already pregnant with me.
It so happened that I was born only less than an hour after your big brother. Later, when your big brother passed away, the general was in love with princess and came down to the reasoning of keeping me. Plus, the fact that princess was a reasonable person and felt very guilty about her father and brother for usurping the throne. So, she protected me and kept me at her side with the identity of her son.
Although it was only a few sentences, but Murong Qi Qi knew how much danger and hardship was inside this. At last, what happened to your mother?
Seeing Murong Qi Qi ask about Xia Wan Ying, Feng Cangs thick eyelashes blocked the waves in his eyes. Do you remember the pagoda to drive away evil spirits? The former Qin perished. The imperial treasure disappeared. When the army broke into the Forbidden City, that huge wealth seemed like it had disappeared from the face of earth.
Before grandfather died, the only ones who were with him were my parents. My father died at the hands of a thousand arrows. So, Wanyan Zhi thought that only my mother would know about the whereabouts of the treasure. So, he ordered the arrest of my mother.
Although there was the protection of great general and princess, my mother knew that if the people found her at Feng residence, she would certainly bring trouble to general and princess. Besides, maybe she would also bring calamity to me. So, she took advantage of the night and ran away. In the end, she was caught at the Buddha Temple.
I heard general say, in order to avoid herself being insulted, my mother bit her tongue and committed suicide. Wanyan Zhi released rumors that my mother was a nine-tailed fox and burned my mothers body. Because of this, theres now the pagoda to drive away evil spirits
A heavy quietness covered the surroundings. Murong Qi Qis heart ached so much that she was unable to breathe. Why, why was it like this? Murong Qi Qi tightly embraced Feng Cang. Just now, she clearly saw the tears at the corners of Feng Cangs eyes. Sorrow, pain, sadness; nothing was enough to describe Feng Cangs mood now.
Wangye, sorry, Murong Qi Qis voice choked. She ached, ached for such a Feng Cang, ached for what Feng Cang had experienced.
If it wasnt for the instigation of Ming Bu Zhi; if the emperor of former Qin didnt get devious thoughts, maybe the former Qin wouldnt have perished. Maybe, crown prince Long Yu would have ascended the throne and Feng Cang would have become crown prince and wouldve also been a great crown prince
Qing Qing Feng Cangs head buried in Murong Qi Qis chest. Although he had been holding back, but the stubborn tears still couldnt help but fall from his eyes.
Since he got to know his history, he never dared to recall and was afraid to remember. He was afraid that if hed remembered the experience of his parents, he wouldnt be able to hold back and cry. So, he had been holding back and never showed anyone. Now, he felt Murong Qi Qis warmth, listening to her heartbeat and her voice full of affection and love, the last line of defense in Feng Cangs heart collapsed.
Qing Qing Feng Cang tried very hard to restrain himself and didnt let himself cry. A real man doesnt easily cry, merely because they didnt encounter heartbreaking things.
Im here, Im here! Murong Qi Qi gently stroked Feng Cang. Her small face pasted on his hair and felt the trembling from her embrace. Murong Qi Qis heart also trembled.
Why was fate playing with people like this? Why did Feng Cang had such a past? How great would it be if Feng Xie didnt tell Feng Cang any of this! Knowing that he would be sad, why did he have to tell him the truth and let him bear with all these things?!
Now, Murong Qi Qi finally understood where the melancholy of Feng Cang came from. In the past, she thought that melancholy was because of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Today, she got to know that deep in this mans heart, sad secrets were hidden. Such a sorrowful past made his eyes get coated in a layer of sadness, which people were unable to ignore.
Wangye, then your fetal poison?
The fetal poison was originally in my mothers body. I think, it has something to do with Dong Lu. Dong Lus empress has always been a female disciple of Penglai Island. My biological maternal grandmother passed away when my mother was young. Later, maternal grandfather married a junior sister of my maternal grandmother and made her empress. After that, my mothers body became sickly. It was just, she didnt expect that she would get poisoned
Complex imperial relations! Murong Qi Qi had long felt that there was something strange about the poison in Feng Cangs body. It wasnt a poison of the mainland. She didnt expect that it truly had something to do with Penglai Island!
It was just, why did peoples heart needed to be so vicious! Why did they need to be so cruel? Why did they need to struggle for power? Why should they want things that originally didnt belong to them? Is human nature good or evil? Is a humans heart complicated or simple? Why did they need to create so many tragedies and let Feng Cang bear all these alone?
Wangye! A never before emotion poured into Murong Qi Qis heart. She knew now why Feng Cang didnt announce at the palace hall that they werent siblings. Because his identity was complicated and involved former Qin.
If Bei Zhous, Xi Qis and Nan Fengs authorities got to know that there was still a bloodline of former Qins imperial family, then what Feng Cang has to face will be the assassinations by three countries! Those people who won the power and divided the world, how could they allow a person with the blood of the former Qins imperial family to stay alive?!
Naturally, the less people knew about Feng Cangs identity, the better it was. If it was exposed, then it would bring him unprecedent assassinations
Qing Qing, do you know? When princess was pregnant with you, she and general promised me, if its a girl, they would let her be my bride.
At that time, you were in princesss belly. When the fetus moved, she often let me listen to your voice at her belly. While I listened, princess would tell me, this is your little bride, yo! At that moment, I felt so happy, so happy!
Just now, when you took down Water Moon Mirror, my heart almost stopped. How come youre so beautiful?! When Feng Cang raised his head once again, the wetness in his eyes disappeared.
At that moment, I thought it was the grace from heaven! I thought you went with general and princess. I didnt expect you to still be alive in this world and also lived with me and be loved by me! No matter if it was a marriage set by the parents or the feelings of love that grew between us after getting to know each other, in the end, youre still my Qing Qing and became my bride. Dont you think our fate is rooted deeply and nothing could cut it off?
Wangye
Murong Qi Qi didnt know what language she should use to express her feelings now. She lowered her head and kissed Feng Cangs forehead for the first time. This was something Feng Cang loved to do the most. Its said if a man likes to kiss your forehead, it meant that youre the most treasured person in his heart. Being loved by him for so long, now, let her be the one to love him!
If you call me husband, Ill be happier.
Feng Cang kissed Murong Qi Qi, pried her lips open and explored her fragrance.
Without the status of siblings to pressure her, the burden in Murong Qi Qis heart was completely put down. Murong Qi Qi didnt reject Feng Cangs kiss. Like a small bird, she nestled in Feng Cangs arms. Her small hands were on his shoulders and she gently took the initiative to respond to his gentleness.
Two people with the same life experience found a point of resonance in the others body.
The two were orphans and their parents died. Besides, their parents had been calculated by others and died tragic deaths at the hands of the wicked. Feng Cangs frankness completely shattered the obstacle between them. This pair of lovers kissed like they were drunk, as if they looked forward to this kiss for a century.
Only when Murong Qi Qis small face became red and breathless, Feng Cang let go of her.
The misunderstanding had been unlocked. The pressure stone in Murong Qi Qis heart disappeared. So, her mood was good. Her smile also brought a taste of sweetness and happiness.
Suddenly, Murong Qi Qi remembered one thing. She looked serious at him, Wangye, you didnt make up a story to lie to me just because you like me, right?! Im not against love between siblings, but siblings are close relatives. The child born from them wouldnt be healthy and is prone to deformity!
Seeing the doubts on Murong Qi Qis face, Feng Cang chuckled and tickled Murong Qi Qis nose.
Qing Qing, could it be that you dont know, only the former Qins imperial family have purple eyes? The grape violet was the most respected and also meant the purest lineage! Otherwise, why would I use every means to cover up my eyes?!
Three kingdoms divided Qin. Everyone from the former Qins imperial family, including babies, have been slaughtered. Im the only one left. If Im discovered, what I need to face would then be three countries
After Feng Cang said this, Murong Qi Qi immediately realized Feng Cangs situation. Wangye, are the people around you reliable? The people Murong Qi Qi was referring to was those people around Feng Cang and who had seen his purple eyes. If these people were not reliable, then wouldnt it be trouble?
Feng Cang was very pleased at Murong Qi Qi being so concerned about him. He took Murong Qi Qis hand and kissed the back of her hand, Theyre all my people and wont betray me. Those who betrayed me have long died.
Then, its good, Murong Qi Qi nestled against Feng Cang. Without the taboo of siblings love, Murong Qi Qi returned to her former self. Wangye, then what do you want? Do you want to be emperor? Do you want to restore Qin dynasty?
No, Feng Cang shook his head.
Why? Dont all men have a special obsession with power? Murong Qi Qi sat up and looked at Feng Cang with surprise.
Qing Qing, Im only obsessed with you. Feng Cangs words had a taste of flirting, making Murong Qi Qi feel shy, Im being serious! Could it be that you never thought of getting revenge for your parents? Getting back what belonged to you?
Hehe, hearing Murong Qi Qi say that, Feng Cang laughed. His eyes had ten thousand emotions, If the country is at chaos, those who would suffer are the commoners. Its been twenty-five years already since the four countries split the world and coexisted peacefully. If I break this, then I would need to face unprecedented pressure.
Besides, being an emperor may not be the best. Sitting in that position, you would lose your heart and human nature because of power. I dont want lose myself one day and become that cold and selfish person. Since I dont like it, I wont step into this circle of problems. The more you want, the more you would lose. I dont want to lose what I already have, such as you!
But, if Qing Qing want to be the most noble woman in this world, for you, Im willing!
No! I dont want! Murong Qi Qi shook her head and leaned on Feng Cangs chest, Just now, I was worried, worried that wangye would have thoughts to revive the dynasty; worried that wangye was obsessed with power and desired riches. Now, I apologize to you. I was wrong. I dont want the nobleness you said. I only want to be with the person I love and spend the rest of our life in peace. Grow old together and never separate!
