"That's right. Long Feikuang is the late emperor's youngest brother and the only surviving uncle of the emperor. However, because his biological mother was a prostitute of low status, he could not be included in the imperial family register. He was given to General Xing to raise since he was young. His mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to Long Feikuang."
"Died of illness?" An Tingyu raised her lips sarcastically, "What a ridiculous ending."
One is a brothel girl, the other is an heir who has tarnished the royal bloodline. In the palace full of intrigue, how could others tolerate their existence?
So if she guessed correctly, Long Feikuang's mother did not die of illness, but was sentenced to death. As for Long Feikuang, perhaps he was able to save his life only because even a tiger would not eat its own cubs.
But it’s no wonder that she didn’t know about this person’s existence. How could the late emperor allow such an unacceptable existence to appear in history?
Dang Yan didn't comment on An Tingyu's words. He just continued, "Among the three, Master Fa Ming should be ruled out. After all, he's a monk. As for Fang Ming from Xingfu Village, I've observed him for a few days and haven't found anything unusual, so he's the only one left."
Dang Yan did not explicitly say who this "he" was, but An Tingyu knew that Dang Yan was referring to Long Feikuang.
"Then we'll focus on Long Feikuang. We can't be careless with Fang Ming and Master Fa Ming either. Once Fu... Shanshu's injuries have healed, we'll find a chance for him to recognize their voices."
cedar?
Who is it?
Seeing Dang Yan's puzzled expression, An Tingyu said pointedly, "To avoid arousing suspicion, the man who is still alive will be called Shan Shu from now on. And when his injuries are healed, I will take him back to the An Mansion."
Hearing this, Dang Yan's sharp eyes flickered slightly, a trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything about it. He ignored it and said, "Miss, have you really considered marrying Prince Jing?"
"What? Do you have anything to say?" An Tingyu asked with a smile.
Dang Yan's expressionless, wooden face made him look handsome. He said softly, "Miss, the point is not what I want to say, but what you really think. You should know that there are some complicated things between you and Prince Jing. He can't explain Xi'er's affairs in one day. You must have a knot in your heart. Can you really be happy if you marry him with such a knot?"
As her personal bodyguard, he never expects anything from staying by her side, but he hopes that she can be happy. However, can Jing Aotian really give her happiness?
He didn't know the answer to this question. He only knew that Jing Aotian still owed An Tingyu an explanation, and this explanation was also related to An Tingyu's future.
"Dangyan, what do you think happiness is?" An Tingyu asked instead of answering.
Dang Yan thought for a moment and said, "If we were to ask what happiness is, most people would think of it as a safe family and a happy life!"
An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily and chuckled softly, "Ordinary people? What about extraordinary people?"
"Wealth, power, money, all kinds of needs!"
An Tingyu nodded. "That makes sense. Some people's happiness doesn't come from family or friends, but from material things. So there are all kinds of people in this world, and everyone needs different happiness. My happiness is Xi'er growing up healthy and happy, and the people I love smiling at me every day."
Then, An Tingyu continued, "In fact, sometimes happiness is only in the present, because no one can guarantee that two people who truly love each other will not change in the future. So Xi'er's matter may be a conclusion, but I am very happy now. If we can't grow old together, it only means that my love for him is deep but our fate is shallow. I will not regret it, because my love has already blossomed into the most bright and beautiful flower."
Jing Aotian had complained to her more than once about the man beside her. She knew that Jing Aotian was being unreasonable with her because he was feeling uneasy. It was she who made him feel uneasy. This was her responsibility and something she didn't want to see, so if marriage could make him feel at ease, she was willing to do so.
Besides, it made no difference to her whether they got married or not. They had already lived together and the only thing missing was a formal marriage.
"How is it? Does my answer make you feel at ease?" Finally, An Tingyu blinked and added to him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Dang Yan was stunned.
So An Tingyu said so much to him because she saw his worry?
Coming back to his senses, Dang Yan said calmly: "Since you said so, then Dang Yan wishes you happiness!"
An Tingyu smiled faintly and said nothing, but in her heart, she secretly said sorry.
This silent apology was not only because she had made Dang Yan worried, but also because of the love he had silently given her.
