TSFLIP Chapter 576

“You’re lying… You were willing to kill me for her!”

Sijia shifted uncomfortably. “I only heard it from someone else. She was my friend, so I thought I should help her.”

“Heard from someone? Who did you hear it from?” Fengguang asked, though she already guessed in her heart.

Sure enough, he answered, “It was Fengliu.”

“And who is Fengliu?” She knew, but she asked anyway—to see if he would tell her the truth or keep covering for Feng Miyi.

He answered without hesitation, “Feng Miyi’s son.”

“She has a son!?” Fengguang’s tone was one of mock surprise. Even she had to admire her acting at this point. That old saying was true—life is a stage, and all of us are just actors.
“Wait a second, if she’s a princess of the Liubi Kingdom, how come no one knew she had a child? She came to our Gengliu Kingdom for a political marriage!”

“Fengliu was raised outside the palace by a wealthy merchant family. Everyone who cared for him was loyal to Feng Miyi. That’s why no one outside knew she had a son.”

“I heard she wasn’t even a favored princess back in Liubi. How could someone like that pull off hiding a child outside the palace?”

He didn’t hold anything back. “Aside from being a princess, she has another identity in the jianghu.”

“And what is it?”

“She’s known as ‘Ghost Master’—a peerless master of medicine and poison.”

Fengguang widened her eyes. “So she has that kind of identity too… Then, do you know who the father of her child is?”

“I don’t. Not even she knows.” Sijia paused a moment, then added,
“But I’ve never thought about becoming Fengliu’s stepfather.”

So clearly, Feng Miyi had never been the one he truly cared about. There were very few things Sijia ever took to heart—and if there was anyone who had captured it, it was Fengguang.

Her heart warmed at that, but she still put on a mock-displeased tone,
“So what exactly did Fengliu say to you? What made you think killing me for Feng Miyi was a good idea?”

“He said… since his mother was willing to talk to me, then she was my friend. And friends should help each other.”

“So you went to kill me for her?”

Sijia fell silent, awkward and guilty.

Fengguang looked at his honestly confused expression and suddenly found it kind of pitiful.

Sijia had never lived a normal life. He’d never been part of normal society, never had a proper education, and was completely clueless when it came to human relationships. If someone told him, “This is how it works,” he’d believe it.

He probably just had too much time on his hands between missions and figured helping someone would keep him busy.

She let out a heavy sigh, then reached out and poked his cheek with her finger.
“Sijia, Sijia… how are you such a clueless little bunny?”

He didn’t understand what “little bunny” meant, but seeing that she wasn’t angry anymore, he didn’t mind. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t argue.

His eyes, dark as night, regained their glow. He held her hand gently and said in a soft voice,
“I promise you—from now on, I’ll only listen to you.”

Fengguang smiled. “Okay, then whatever I say, you have to do. From now on, you’re not allowed to listen to anyone else but me.”

“Alright. I’ll do whatever you say.”

Looking at his usually cool and expressionless face now so docile and obedient, she felt elated.

But in the next moment, a sharp pain shot through her head. She clutched her temples, groaning.

“Fengguang…!”

She heard his alarmed voice—short and urgent—then darkness engulfed her.

When she opened her eyes again, the world around her had changed.

She was lying in bed, staring up at a familiar ceiling, dazed and confused.

A palace maid’s voice rang out beside her, “Thank goodness! The princess is awake!”
