In fact, before he knew she was Qing Yue, he had already felt pity for her and even a little guilty.
It was not until Qing Er's death that he glimpsed the true truth, and he seemed to hear the beating of his own heart.
Yesterday, in the palace, he watched her plan step by step to win over Qing Yunyao and Chu Yan, and his eyes never left her.
The legitimate daughter of the Qing family, despite having changed her identity, is still stunningly dazzling.
His heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to burst out of his chest. Last night, she came to treat his legs with gratitude. He was sulking and refusing at times, but it was all because his mentality had changed. He didn't want to have just a contractual cooperation relationship with Qin Wan.
He didn't sleep all night last night. As soon as the sun rose, he went to Xie's house to find Xie Jinghuan. He talked to him about what happened in the palace yesterday and told him some of his worries. However, Xie Jinghuan said, "Jinzhi, you don't seem to dislike Qin Wan anymore."
More than just not disgusted.
But it turns out that I like it.
Qin Ningyue's words completely awakened his hidden thoughts.
Feng Ling's distraction and silence made Qin Ningyue's heart sink deeper and deeper, almost to the bottom. Ah Ling actually fell in love with Qin Wan? It had only been a short time. How could he?
"Brother A Ling, are you really in love with her?"
Qin Ningyue seemed to not believe it and asked again.
Feng Ling pursed her lips and said nothing, but she didn't deny it, which meant she agreed.
"You're in love with Qin Wan, but what about me? What should I do?"
Seeing Feng Ling's acquiescence, Qin Ningyue finally couldn't bear it anymore. She choked and shook her head in disbelief. She seemed to have suffered a great blow. Her eyes were red and she looked at Feng Ling with tears in her eyes.
Feng Ling frowned and looked at Qin Ningyue.
"Ning Yue, we've already made it clear. When you wanted the position of Princess Yu, I requested an imperial decree to grant you the marriage. Later, my legs were broken, and you wanted to break off the engagement and have Qin Wan marry me. I granted your wish. Now you're questioning why I fell in love with someone else?"
Feng Ling was not angry, her tone was very calm, but her phoenix eyes looked at Qin Ningyue deeply and quietly.
He always felt indebted to Qin Ningyue.
So I won't say anything bad to her.
"Yes, I was too stubborn at the time, and I regret it, but I never thought you would fall in love with Qin Wan. Brother A Ling, you can't like her. How embarrassing would it be for me if you fell in love with her?"
Qin Ningyue shook her head, as if she couldn't accept this reality.
Feng Ling's brows knitted tighter and tighter, his eyes fell on Qin Ningyue's face, "Can you accept it if it's not her?"
"I can't accept it no matter who it is, Brother A Ling, you know I'm already yours, I..."
"Ning Yue."
Before Qin Ningyue could finish, Feng Ling's voice suddenly became sharp, stopping her from saying the next word.
Qin Ningyue's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and looked at Feng Ling as if she was aggrieved.
"Ning Yue, when that incident happened, I owed you, so I proposed to marry you and you agreed. But later you regretted it. It's not that I was irresponsible towards you, it was you who chose to give up. Now you come to tell me that you regret it, what do you want me to do?"
Feng Ling's voice was a little cold.
"Brother A Ling, I want to marry you. I am willing to marry you. Please marry me. I am willing to live in peace with my sister Qin Wan."
Qin Ningyue bit her lip and spoke with red eyes. It was obvious that she had used up all her strength to say these words.
Everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Qin family was aloof and arrogant, but now she said with her own mouth that she was sharing a husband with someone else.
Feng Ling was a little surprised, as if she didn't know her. She squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time.
Qin Ningyue felt very uncomfortable when Feng Ling looked at her with such scrutiny and inquiry. She choked up and said, "Brother Ling, do you think I want this? But other than this method, I can't think of any other way to stay by your side."
As soon as he finished speaking, big tears began to fall.
Feng Ling looked at Qin Ningyue in front of him, seeing her tears, and he found that his heart was completely calm.
He thought again of Qing Zhan's death that day, Qin Wan's extremely collapsed appearance, her tears and despair. Those pictures seemed to be engraved in his mind, lingering, and every time he thought of them, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
So this is what love is, this is the feeling of holding someone in your heart.
"Ning Yue, this isn't something you would say."
After a long time, Feng Ling spoke.
"Back then, you saved my life, and I promised you that I would marry you and only you, and would not take any concubines. Do you remember this?"
Qin Ningyue shuddered. She remembered how happy and proud she was to have won the favor of the great Prince Yu. If it weren't for his broken leg...
"Now I still say this: I will not take concubines or concubines, so don't think about it. In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter which noble family you wish to marry, I will give you a decent marriage. Don't even think about anything else."
Feng Ling's words were extremely cold.
Qin Ningyue burst into tears when she heard this.
She couldn't believe that Feng Ling was so ruthless.
But how could she bear to watch him and Qin Wan together like this?
"Someone, send Miss Qin back home."
Feng Ling's somewhat stern voice sounded, and then the butler stepped forward and respectfully invited Qin Ningyue to leave.
Qin Ningyue's eyes were red and she bit her lips tightly. She looked at Feng Ling with grievance and unwillingness in her eyes. Unfortunately, he just lowered his eyes slightly and didn't even look at her.
Finally unable to bear this kind of neglect, Qin Ningyue turned around and ran out of the house with a whimper.
