Forced love, an inescapable fate

Wanyue stood aside, watching Mu Qingli crying and laughing, and felt a little uncomfortable.

She understood her master's intention, which was simply to use these things to make Mu Qingli feel that he still remembered her at such a critical moment, so that she would do her best to win Feng Zong over to him.

At this moment, I even felt that Jiang Ci was a little too cruel.

Wan Yue didn't even dare to imagine that if one day the truth of the matter was known by the people in front of her, and she learned that her escape from the noses of the Qi people and everything along the way were planned by her master and were all a scam, how would she accept it then? How could she accept it?

If she knew that all this was fake, how would she deal with it?

In the past two years, I have witnessed with my own eyes how this person in front of me treats her master sincerely, but all of this is fake. Even my meeting with her and Bai Yu was arranged in advance.

Wanyue turned her head away with a bit of reluctance.

After Mu Qingli calmed down and put away the things in the wooden box and the letter from Jiang Ci as if they were treasures, she looked at Wanyue embarrassedly and smiled a little awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Wanyue, I made you laugh. I just couldn't help myself. Although it's only been less than a month since my brother left, it feels like a long time has passed. I was so worried every day during this period, but now I can finally rest assured."

Wanyue shook her head and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Princess, you and His Highness are not related by blood, but I've noticed that you've treated him like one of your own family over the past two years. You've been worried about him every day, trying every possible way to build a closer relationship with General Feng. But, Princess, have you noticed? General Feng doesn't seem to want you to curry favor with him like this. And do you think it's worth it? What if things don't turn out the way you thought? Will you regret it then?"

Although Mu Qingli was curious about the question Wan Yue asked, she still answered her seriously.

"Wanyue, do you know that the first person I saw when I woke up in the dilapidated palace of the Qi Kingdom was my brother. I didn't remember anything at that time. When I opened my eyes, I thought I was dead and in hell. My whole body was shaking with pain, but his call of "sister" made me feel less painful. Later, when I saw him being bullied by the people of the Qi Kingdom royal family and watching him being surrounded by people all alone, I felt that he was just like me, alone in this world. Later, we escaped together, experienced life and death, and finally reached Dongli Town. For some reasons, we stayed. Originally, I didn't want to return to Jingguo, but I know Adi's identity. He shouldn't waste his time there like me. The time I spent in Dongli Town was the happiest time I've had since I lost my memory. If possible, I really want to live there with Adi, you, and Baiyu. But now, things have changed. Adi is simple-minded. He is in a very difficult situation when he returns to Shangjing. Although I don't understand the royal family struggles, I think that if Adi has a strong backer, he will always be safer. Besides, I have long regarded him as my own family. Between family members, there are no so many whys. Everything is just following one's own heart."

Wanyue wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded.

"Well, Princess, I understand. General Feng probably has something else to say to you. I'll be out now."

After Wanyue left, Mu Qingli stared at the things he had put away in a daze. Why did he always feel that Wanyue's words had hidden meaning? But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was overthinking it.

She walked out of the room and saw Feng Zong standing in the yard with his back to her. A smile appeared on her face and she walked towards him.

"elder brother."

Feng Zong turned around and smiled.

"Are you relieved now?"

Mu Qingli nodded embarrassedly, "But I still have to thank you, brother. If you hadn't sent someone to take my brother back, he would have been in danger."

Thinking about the news Li Feng had sent back, Feng Zong asked, "Ali, I wonder who taught the Sixth Prince martial arts? I heard from Li Feng that his kung fu is superb. This time, it was all thanks to him."

"It's Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai Yu. When I was in Dongli Town, I was injured and happened to meet Mr. Bai. Later, Mr. Bai became my master. He has been in charge of teaching me for the past two years. I'm very smart and learns things quickly. I usually just see him practicing martial arts in the yard, so I don't understand much. But since Captain Li said that my brother's kung fu is very powerful, he must be quite good."

Hearing this, Feng Zong continued to ask, "Are you saying that the Sixth Prince has only learned martial arts for two short years?"

"Well, it was only after we arrived in Dongli Town that he started learning Kung Fu from Mr. Bai. What's wrong, brother?"

Mu Qingli felt strange when he noticed that Feng Zong's expression was not right.

"It's okay, I just asked casually. By the way, when did your girl Wanyue follow you?"

"As for Wanyue, I met her a little earlier than Mr. Bai, but we only met after we escaped to Dongli Town."

"Does this girl know kung fu?"

"Wanyue doesn't know any martial arts, but she's a bit stronger and has better physical fitness. But my brother's question today is a bit strange. Is there something wrong with these two?"

Feng Zong smiled and reached out to touch her hair. "Nothing, just asking casually. After all, he's your follower, so you'd better be careful. Don't worry about the Sixth Prince. I'll ask someone to help take care of him. Besides, with his ability, ordinary people can't hurt him. I may be busy in the barracks recently, so I won't be home at night. You don't have to find ways to cook for me every day. Ali, there's no need for us to be so estranged, and you don't have to deliberately please me. I know you're doing all this for the Sixth Prince, but Ali, you don't have to be like this. Although I'm a rough man, I can feel it. Here, you can do whatever you want. When you have time, you can go shopping and buy something you like. You don't have to focus all your attention on pleasing me, and there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position for others."

Mu Qingli felt a little uncomfortable when her thoughts were exposed. Was she really that eager and straightforward?

Seeing her lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers, Feng Zong felt that what he had said just now was a bit too direct, so he comforted her, "Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I just don't want you to work so hard. Making those dishes is very laborious. I don't care about these things, and I don't want to see you work hard. Just take care of yourself."

"Well, I see."
