Chapter 1207: The Truth About Feng Shu All Those Years Ago
Feng Wu had waited in the main room for almost two hours until she almost could no longer suppress her hidden anger before she saw Feng Tianlan walking out calmly. Immediately, she sneered mockingly, “This Lady Phoenix assumes great airs, I have waited so long just to see you.”
Feng Tianlan’s eyes were cold. “Speak, what is the matter?”
In recent centuries, Tianfeng Nation had been trying to weaken the power and influence of the Lady Phoenix Shrine. As such, although the Shrine was a domineering power previously, it was now being suppressed, especially since that particular Lady Phoenix left all those years ago.
Feng Wu was not in the mood to beat about the bush, so she said directly, “Give me the Imperial jade seal, and I will let you take Feng Shu away.”
“The Imperial jade seal?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her in a puzzled manner. She did not carry anything which belonged to Tianfeng Nation on her. If there was anything, it might be the Feng family seal, a seal embroidered with the phoenix pattern.
Previously in Guiyuan continent, she had been told that the Feng family seal could command God Supremes. In Tianfeng Nation, where most guards are God Supremes, it indeed could command God Supremes.
“Your Feng family seal, it has always been the seal of Tianfeng Nation,” Feng Wu said bluntly.
Feng Tianlan retrieved the Feng family seal from the Pill Scroll Realm. The pattern on it looked very much alive as if it could stretch out its wings and fly any moment.
“The jade seal!” When Feng Wu saw the Feng family seal, her eyes brightened up. Her breathing stopped for a moment and she even stretched out her hands to grab it.
Feng Tianlan quickly retracted her hands and avoided Feng Wu’s hand. She played with the jade seal casually, raising her eyes and looking at Feng Wu with a light smile. “There is no need for my mother and me to leave this place for now. If we want to leave in the future, we will not require your approval, so your offer is not relevant.”
To her, the Feng family seal was no longer very important. However, Si Ming had asked her not to hand over the seal. It seemed that there must be some reason behind this.
Feng Wu awkwardly retracted her hand and watched sternly as Feng Tianlan fiddled with the jade seal. “What do you want then?”
“It’s simple, slightly over a decade ago, you were already six or seven years old, and was already Your Highness. As such, you should know a great deal about what happened to my parents back then. If you tell me the truth, I can give you the Imperial jade seal.” Feng Tianlan fiddled with the Imperial jade seal inadvertently. If only she had known that Feng Wu liked this thing, she would not have needed to ask Ji You to investigate so painstakingly.
The reason she was still staying at Tianfeng Nation at this moment was because she wanted to investigate what had happened those years ago. Only when the truth is found would there be a chance for her mother to regain her senses.
“I don’t know how much you have found out, but one thing is certain, those years ago my imperial mother indeed coerced Feng Shu into marrying another man so that she could give birth to a pure-blooded Lady Phoenix. It was a pity but Feng Shu would rather die than surrender and even starved herself in protest. Eventually, she became pregnant with Feng Yunsheng and the imperial mother’s heart softened. It was alright as long as she was kept close by her side.”
Feng Tianlan slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked at Feng Wu as if she was trying to determine if there was truth in Feng Wu’s words.
“As for the death of Shen Borui, someone developed hatred for him due to unrequited love. She schemed to drug him but failed to be able to sleep with him, so she hated him and killed him. In addition, Feng Yunsheng was brought over to be raised by my imperial mother’s side. It was not clear why, but she seemed to have experienced some shock, so things became what they are.”
Upon seeing that Feng Tianlan was doubting her, Feng Wu laughed indifferently. “Of course, you can choose not to believe me. These matters are not considered secrets to me. After all, all those people are either dead or crazy now. None of them had a good ending.”
Feng Tianlan opened her eyes and looked at her calmly. “All dead?”
“Yes, that was my imperial mother’s third younger sister, and she has long since been buried in the imperial tomb. With regards to this matter, just ask the Prime Minister and you will know.”
