1351 Accept your fate, this life is too dramatic
The Ninth Prince had a lot of questions, but Feng Qingchen did not give him the chance to ask. Instead, he pulled the Ninth Prince aside to inquire about the origin of the jade box.
When the Ninth Prince saw Feng Qingchen's expression, he knew that she didn't know what the jade box represented, nor did she know her own identity.
It makes sense. Only the Lan family and the Fengli clan knew about the existence of the spiritual jade box. If he was not trained as the heir of the Lan family, he would not know the origin of this box.
The Ninth Prince suppressed his doubts and answered for Feng Qingchen first: "This is a thing from the previous dynasty. The emperor of the previous dynasty gave it to King Feng Li. This spiritual jade box can be said to be a symbol of King Feng Li's status."
After the Ninth Prince said this, he looked at Feng Qingchen. He thought Feng Qingchen should have guessed something. After all, such a valuable thing could not have fallen into her hands for no reason.
"King Fengli? You said this is King Fengli's token?" Feng Qingchen swallowed and sat up straight unconsciously, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
How could this be? Her random guess turned out to be correct. Her father was really related to King Fengli, or she was really a descendant of Fengli from the previous dynasty who survived by chance, and her status in the Fengli clan was not low, otherwise her father would not have the token of King Fengli in his hand.
"Yes. As far as I know, this item was given to King Fengli a long time ago. As for who it ended up in, I don't know. But it's useless no matter who it ends up in. The word "ling" in the name of this jade box means it's not an ordinary thing. Only the descendants of King Fengli can open this box."
Although this is not a good time, but with this opportunity, the Ninth Prince does not mind revealing Feng Qingchen's identity. Anyway, they will go to Beiling in a while.
It is better to know it now than to know it when you arrive in Beiling and meet the Fengli people.
Thinking of the Fengli clan members who lived in seclusion in Beiling, the Ninth Uncle thought of Master Doudou. Those old guys from the Killer Alliance have been gone for such a long time, why didn't they send any news back? Did something happen?
The Ninth Prince could not help but frown. Feng Qingchen was distracted at the moment and had no intention of caring what the Ninth Prince was thinking.
Her own guess and the affirmative answer from the Ninth Prince's mouth were completely different states of mind. She was really confused at this moment. It turned out that she was not only a member of the Fengli clan, but also a descendant of King Fengli.
"Are you sure that this jade box can only be opened by Queen Fengli's descendants? How to open it? By dripping blood or something?" Feng Qingchen asked cautiously.
She seemed to have destroyed this thing violently, so does that mean she is a member of the Fengli tribe?
"This Jade Spirit Box is the lifelong work of the Master of Mechanics. He has made tens of thousands of them, but only this one was successful. The Jade Spirit Box does not recognize blood, it only recognizes breath. As long as the descendants of King Fengli hold it tightly, the Jade Spirit Box will feel the breath of King Fengli's bloodline and will be able to open it." The Ninth Prince had been looking at Feng Qingchen. He was afraid that Feng Qingchen would not be able to accept the fact that he was a descendant of Fengli, just as he had not been able to accept the fact that he was a descendant of the Lan family.
To them, Lan and Fengli are not just a surname, but also a heavy burden, a responsibility that cannot be shirked. Carrying this responsibility, they are no easier than Fu Lin.
"The breath of Queen Fengli? Then I am not a member of the Fengli tribe. I cut it open with a knife." Feng Qingchen pitifully held the jade box in front of the Ninth Uncle: "I should have nothing to do with the Fengli tribe."
"You cut it with a knife?" The Ninth Prince almost jumped up from the bed. He took the jade box and saw the crack on the box at a glance. He didn't know whether he felt regret or loss.
"The spiritual jade box is destroyed." It will no longer be of any use, and the things inside are also destroyed. The Fengli clan will only acknowledge that Feng Qingchen is the legitimate daughter of King Fengli, and will not acknowledge that she is King Fengli.
"It seems so." Such a valuable thing, but she destroyed it so violently. What a waste.
The Ninth Prince sighed lightly, smiled faintly, and consoled him: "It's ruined, so let it be. The previous dynasty has perished, so what does a small jade box mean to you? Although this jade box is ruined and can no longer be used, it can still be used as a reminder. Keep it away and don't let outsiders see it."
The Ninth Prince returned the box to Feng Qingchen and asked Feng Qingchen to keep it.
Originally, with the spiritual jade box in hand, the Fengli people could acknowledge that Feng Qingchen was the King of Fengli. But now it seems impossible. The spiritual jade box was destroyed by Feng Qingchen. If the Fengli people knew about it, they might even think that Feng Qingchen was not of Fengli bloodline.
When the Ninth Prince handed the jade box to Feng Qingchen, Feng Qingchen's hand slipped, the jade box fell to the ground, and the token inside naturally slipped out as well.
The Ninth Prince instinctively reached out to catch it. When he saw what was in his hand, he was stunned. He looked at Feng Qingchen in shock: "When you opened the spiritual jade box, the token was inside. It didn't break?"
What is ups and downs? This is how the Ninth Prince feels at this moment.
When he saw the jade box, he was happy that Feng Qingchen could become the king of the Fengli clan as a woman. But when he saw the jade box was destroyed, he knew it was hopeless, because if the jade box was destroyed, the things inside would also be destroyed. But he didn't expect...
Although the jade box was destroyed, the token was still there. With this token, Feng Qingchen was still the heir of King Fengli and could mobilize the power of the Fengli clan, just like the Jiuzhou token in his hand.
Feng Qingchen shook his head: "No, when I opened the jade box, the token was inside. Is this the token of King Feng Li?"
Could that word she didn't recognize be the word "li"?
"Yes, this is King Fengli's token. Isn't there a word 'Li' written on the back?" The Ninth Prince was excited in his heart but he looked calm on the surface.
No one would be able to remain calm in the face of such twists and turns. With this token, he wouldn't have to worry about the internal struggles within the Fengli clan bringing crisis to Feng Qingchen.
"I don't know that word." Feng Qingchen readily admitted that he was illiterate, leaving the Ninth Prince speechless. He had no choice but to ask the real question: "Where did you get this jade box?"
If there is danger, he has to take action to eliminate the people involved to prevent Feng Qingchen's identity from being exposed.
"Marshal Si gave it to me. Today I went to Si's house, and Marshal Si gave it to me, saying that my father entrusted it to him before he died, and asked him to give it to me after I come of age." Feng Qingchen did not hide anything and told her everything.
She even told the Ninth Prince the secret of the smart medical kit. How could she still be afraid of the identity of the daughter of Queen Fengli?
She originally thought that she was just a descendant of Feng Li. No one expected that she was actually the direct descendant of King Feng Li. This was really... A hundred years ago, she was a favored daughter of heaven, but now she is the daughter of a rebel. No matter how noble her status is, she cannot be seen in the light.
"So that's how it is. General Feng has a very accurate eye for people." The fact that the jade box has been preserved until now means that Marshal Si has never opened it.
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly: "Does this mean that my father is the descendant of King Fengli, or the heir of King Fengli. If so, how could he become an orphan and how could he have made military achievements in Dongling?"
She was actually a little confused. Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt a little uncomfortable and always felt that her life was too dramatic.
She is actually the descendant of Queen Fengli. Her origin is truly extraordinary and legendary.
"Perhaps General Feng, like you, only found out after he became an adult." This possibility cannot be ruled out. Now that the person is dead, there is no point in investigating these things.
Feng Qingchen nodded, indicating that she accepted this reason, and then stared at the Ninth Uncle. Seeing that the Ninth Uncle looked calm and not shocked at all, Feng Qingchen laughed at herself and asked, "Ninth Uncle, have you known for a long time that I am the descendant of Queen Fengli?"
