Feng Tianlan was very puzzled by this. She rarely appeared in public with her identity as Shen Lan. Even though she used her identity as Shen Lan in the United Mercenary Regiment, she hardly ever appeared, but somehow the Empress of Tianfeng Nation had issued the order to capture her?
She even hid this from the Prime Minister of Tianfeng Nation?
What was even more puzzling was: how did Tianfeng Nation, a country that was almost isolated from the world, know about her and why did they want to arrest her? Was it possible that they knew she was Shen Qingdai?
“I don’t know.” Ji You shook his head lightly. He had only eavesdropped on a part of the conversation but did not know the entire story, so he didn’t know the specific reason.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at Ji You who was still kneeling on the ground. “So, you are here to inform me?”
“I didn’t care much about Shen Lan before, so I didn’t contact you. I just came after hearing that His Majesty sent someone to the Shang Institution to pick the Lady Phoenix up,” Ji You said honestly. “I was eavesdropping at the time, and I was afraid that His Majesty would find out, so I only heard a part of the conversation.
At that time, he didn’t take the name Shen Lan seriously and just wanted to see why His Majesty wanted to pick up the Lady Phoenix without telling him. When he saw that the Lady Phoenix had been disguised as a man, he was shocked and realized the matter wasn’t that simple.
He said to pick up the Lady Phoenix while also issuing the order to capture Shen Lan. He believed that His Majesty knew that they were one person, but he couldn’t guess why His Majesty wanted to do this.
Feng Tianlan said softly, “I see. You can get up now. I don’t want to be the Lady Phoenix, so I cannot be your master.”
Ji You thanked her, then stood up from the ground and stood next to Feng Tianlan like a subordinate. Looking up at the verdant scenery, he said, “Tianfeng Nation was founded by a handsome man thousands of years ago…”
Feng Tianlan raised her head and glanced at him. Was he telling her about the history of Tianfeng Nation now?
Since the founding of the Tianfeng Nation, a woman had always been the empress, and they would look for the Lady Phoenix from among the empresses until their true female master is born, after which the male master will also appear at the same time.
But after waiting for hundreds of years, they didn’t encounter the real master, so the Tianfeng Nation had the idea of gaining independence. They stopped taking the search of the Lady Phoenix seriously and even wanted to kill her. In the end, the Lady Phoenix became just an auspicious existence, a political puppet.
The Feng Family in the South Winds Nation had descended from the Lady Phoenix who escaped from the Tianfeng Nation five hundred years ago and established the Feng Family in the South Winds Nation. Because of her these reasons, and perhaps because of Si Ming’s help, she inherited the Feng Family’s Matriarch’s traits.
“Then you guys went to the Feng Family house to kill the Lady Phoenix?” After listening to Ji You’s words, Feng Tianlan narrowed her eyes menacingly. Her biological mother had been killed. Now that the Tianfeng Kingdom knew where she was, they would start the hunt again, right?
“Huh?” Ji You looked at her quizzically, and then said, “The Shang Institution is Tianfeng Nation’s only outside force, but since the Shang Institution basically only comes out once a year, and I have no clue where Lady Phoenix went, I only know that the Lady Phoenix fled from the Tianfeng Nation back in the day. I guessed that you were a descendant of Lady Phoenix because I knew the Lady Phoenix that had fled, and no one else has the surname Feng.”
And, that had happened more than ten years ago. At that time, he was still a child so he didn’t know much about it.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and glanced at him, then looked away silently.
“Master…” Ji You was about to speak but when he heard the sound of footsteps, he closed his mouth quickly and stood up silently.
“Meow~” White Cutie-Pie carried Red Cutie-Pie and immediately threw itself into Feng Tianlan’s arms.
Yu Jia walked back. She didn’t realize that the atmosphere had changed and said innocently, “I just looked around but I couldn’t find Zheng Ping. I don’t know where he went.”
