Feng Xinyan looked away uncomfortably. She could not look straight at Feng Qianwei's smile. It was so pure that it felt like she was looking at a mirror. If she hadn't grown up with this woman in front of her, perhaps she would have been deceived by her pure white face.
"Master, she died peacefully. Nothing else happened.”Feng Xinyan placed her hand on her left side and bowed slightly to Feng Qianwei.
Feng Qianwei looked depressed. She played with the white jade cup in her palm. After hearing Feng Xinyan's words, she frowned and murmured,""No, he said that he must let her die in pain.”
Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi looked at each other with confusion. They had been working for Feng Qianwei all this time, but they knew that Feng Qianwei was not the one who asked them to do this. There was someone else behind her.
Both Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi knew who that person was.
But for some reason, Feng Qianwei seemed to listen to that person.
Just like five years ago, Feng Qianwei suddenly received a letter. The content of the letter was that the empress of the current emperor was looking for the princess who was lost when she was young. Her name was Xinyan. After searching for more than ten years, the empress finally found news of the princess in a temple.
What that person wanted Feng Qianwei to do was to let Feng Xinyan impersonate the princess and kill the real princess. Then, he would stay in the palace for five years. After five years, he would personally kill the Empress.
Feng Qianwei had informed Feng Xinyan when he received the letter. Feng Xinyan had no choice as usual because she had the medicine that Feng Qianwei had given them since she was young. She had to take the antidote once every three months.
No, it should be the man with the black mask who took care of Feng Xinyan, Feng Qianwei, and Chu Junqi when they were young. Feng Xinyan and Feng Qianwei were the same age, both eighteen. Chu Junqi was slightly older. He was already twenty years old.
The three of them had no idea where they came from. They only knew that from the day they opened their eyes and became conscious, a masked man in black had been taking care of them. Feng Xinyan had thought that she, Feng Qianwei, and Chu Junqi were siblings until they were five years old. The man in black told them that they were abandoned children.
From today onwards, he was their father. They did not need to know who he was. They only needed to know that he had raised the three of them.
The man in black began to teach them martial arts and all kinds of Qimen Dun Jia techniques. The best student was Feng Qianwei, so the man in black seemed to love Feng Qianwei very much. When they were young, they loved to fight over these things. Therefore, Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi tried their best to keep in touch with each other, hoping to catch up with Feng Qianwei.
However, for some reason, Feng Qianwei seemed to be the favored son of the heavens. He was always ahead of Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi in everything, which made the two of them very depressed. When they were eight years old and Chu Junqi was ten, the man who was called father gave Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi two black pills and told them to take them.
Feng Xin Yan could clearly feel that something was wrong, but before she could suspect anything, they were too late. In fact, the strangest thing was, why didn't Feng Qianwei need to eat?
At this moment, Feng Qianwei secretly told them that what they had just eaten was a kind of poison, a poison that could only be sustained if they had their father's antidote. Their father wanted them to take Feng Qianwei as their master and listen to everything Feng Qianwei said in the future. The antidote would also be sent to Feng Qianwei by their father, and then Feng Qianwei would give it to them.
After hearing this, Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi forced themselves to vomit for a long time, but they couldn't spit out the pill. The pill seemed to melt in their mouths. From that day onwards, Feng Xin Yan never saw the person called 'father'.
Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi also formally acknowledged Feng Qianwei as their master for the antidote, and swore to never betray Feng Qianwei. In fact, Feng Xinyan had never understood what Feng Qianwei thought of her and Chu Junqi.
Was it his family? Or were they just two burdensome disciples?
However, it was meaningless to ask this question now. Feng Xinyan had no affection for Feng Qianwei at all. Feng Qianwei always made her do cruel things, like leaving her alone in the palace for five years.
Only Chu Junqi had sneaked into the palace to see her for a while. He told her that he had also gone to the Shangxing family, the number one family in the martial world, to ambush them on the orders of his master. He was going to kill their master. Feng Xinyan had been listening to Chu Junqi's stories of his adventures in the palace. She wiped away the tears on his face and asked him softly,""Why do you think Qian Wei, who has been with us since we were young, listens to that man?”
Chu Junqi couldn't find an explanation for this, so he said,""I miss the days when the three of us rolled in the mud together before I was five.”
That sentence almost made Feng Xinyan stop crying.
They all knew that Feng Qianwei wasn't the initiator of all this, but he was the messenger. Feng Qianwei would be the one to deliver the news to that person, and the two of them would be the ones to handle it. Feng Qianwei only needed to wait for them to come back triumphantly and welcome them at home.
As his master.
Sometimes, Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi didn't know why they killed those people. They didn't even know what those people were doing. They didn't even know if they were good or evil. Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi were only doing this to survive. They had to kill people they didn't even know.
However, this time, when Feng Xin Yan attacked the palace, she, who had never hesitated in order to survive, could not bear to do it to her loving mother.
Feng Xin Yan couldn't even accept how she could kill the woman who had accompanied her day and night for five years, the woman who had done everything she could to give Feng Xin Yan the warmth of motherly love. Killing her would become Feng Xinyan's nightmare day and night. In her dreams, she would always remember the words that woman had said to comfort her when she could not sleep at night.
Feng Xin Yan knew that one day, she would not be able to stand her current appearance…
As her thoughts slowly drifted back to the present, Feng Xinyan met Feng Qianwei's gaze. Feng Xinyan was almost frightened by Feng Qianwei's dead-like gaze.
"Xinyan, I'm asking you a question." Chu Junqi noticed Feng Xinyan's pale face and nudged her with his elbow. He frowned and reminded her.
Only then did Feng Xinyan look away from Feng Qianwei. She lowered her head and panted heavily before looking up. Feng Qianwei's terrifying gaze had disappeared." I'm sorry, Master. I was distracted just now. Can you ask me again?"”
Feng Qianwei frowned and pouted. He looked at Feng Xinyan with a face full of complaints." Xinyan is so annoying. She doesn't even listen to me." I'm asking you, did you kill the Empress yourself? Father's letter said that as long as you killed her with your own hands, it would be enough for that woman to suffer.”
Feng Xinyan was stunned and sighed in her heart. Sometimes, when Feng Qianwei talked to her like this, she always felt that she was talking to Feng Qianwei like a sister, not like she was giving her a mission.
However, she did remember that when the Empress died, she did not look like she was dying, but rather, she was very happy to accept it. But why did that person say that as long as she killed him personally, it was enough for the Empress to suffer?
Although she was confused, Feng Xinyan still answered Feng Qianwei's question honestly,""That's right, I killed her with my own hands.”
After hearing Feng Xinyan's words, Feng Qianwei, who was frowning, finally smiled. He sat down at the stone table and drank the wine that he had gotten out of nowhere.
Feng Xinyan and Chu Junqi looked at each other and left.
After walking out of the courtyard, Feng Xinyan's eyes turned red almost instantly. She had been pretending to be calm in front of Feng Qianwei just now, and she almost collapsed.
