363 Affection, Ambiguity is Not a Sin (Sixth Update)
[The sixth update is here. This morning, I will stop here. The next update will be around 2 o'clock. Dear, whether there will be ten updates today depends on your monthly votes! ]
Feng Qingchen nodded to show his understanding. The emperor had seized the military power and the great power, so even if the aristocratic families wanted to rebel, they couldn't.
For example, the Wang family, all of them are in Dongling. If they commit treason or something, the emperor can immediately order the slaughter of the entire Wang family. As for your escape in advance? There are tens of thousands of people in the Wang family in Dongling. Where can you escape to...
Since the noble families dare not betray or rebel, the emperor, though dissatisfied, will not be too anxious. He will take his time and wear down the noble families bit by bit. Moreover, the noble families do not want the country to be destroyed. Without the country, there will be no noble families. If Dongling is destroyed, the Dongling Wang family may also become history...
There were many small families in the previous dynasty that perished when the Lan family perished...
Feng Qingchen didn't understand the difference between aristocratic families and imperial power, nor did she intend to understand. She was curious: "Since the late Emperor of Nanling was from the Wang family, why did he have the surname Nanling?"
"Because he married into Nanling and dropped the surname Wang. In fact, the royal family of Nanling has nothing to do with the Wang family. The moment they dropped the surname Wang, they were no longer worthy of being descendants of the Wang family. The Wang family never considered them as clan members. They are the shame of the Wang family." The surname Wang is a source of pride for the Wang family, and all members of the Wang family are proud of this surname.
In the previous dynasty, after the Lan, Fengli and Cui surnames, the next surname was Wang. The fourth surname in the world was abandoned. This was a shame for the Wang family, and the Nanling royal family was also a shame for the Wang family.
The Wang family never acknowledged the descendants of the Nanling royal family, and were even hostile to them. The emperors of the four countries all knew this, so there was no need to worry that the Wang family would side with the Nanling royal family.
The pride of a noble family cannot be trampled upon even by the royal family.
"So that's how it is. Could it be that Nanling Jinfan wants to gain the recognition of the Wang family, so he listens to you so much?" Feng Qingchen understood. Some people attach great importance to their family. Family is their root. They can live and die for their family. If a person is expelled from the family, he will be looked down upon by the world and will not be able to gain a foothold in the world.
The reason why Nanling Jinfan respected the head of the Wang family so much was that the late emperor of Nanling regretted his decision when he died. He regretted abandoning his own family name and asked his descendants to fulfill his last wish so that he could be recognized by the Wang family and return to his roots.
"The Nanling royal family has always wanted to be recognized by the Wang family. When naming their descendants, they do not use the Nanling royal family's generational system, but the Wang family's generational system. But even so, what does it matter? The Wang family will never recognize them. If possible, the Wang family will massacre the lives of all the Nanling royal family members."
Even when talking about bloodbath, Wang Jinling still had a gentle smile on his face...
Whether in the past life or this life, Feng Qingchen is like a floating duckweed. The family's honor and reputation are very distant things to her, and the family's responsibilities are not even close to her.
Seeing Wang Jinling and Nanling Jinfan fighting and compromising for the sake of their family, Feng Qingchen felt somewhat fortunate that she did not have a family and did not have to sacrifice for it.
While the family protects you and gives you power, you also have to bear the family's responsibilities. What she fears most is responsibility. The only responsibility she is willing to bear at this time is to treat patients.
Feng Qingchen satisfied his curiosity and stopped asking about the Wang family. The more he knew, the faster he would die. Every family has secrets that cannot be known to outsiders.
The matter of Nanling Jinfan should be considered a secret of the Wang family. Wang Jinling told her without any precautions because he trusted her, and she could not let Wang Jinling down.
Feng Qingchen leaned against the carriage, indicating that she didn't want to listen anymore. Wang Jinling also cooperated and stopped talking. The Wang family's coachman was skilled, and Feng Qingchen didn't feel the bumps at all while sitting in the carriage. She didn't even think about holding onto something to prevent herself from falling out.
So, when the carriage suddenly stopped, Feng Qingchen and Wang Jinling were caught off guard and they fell forward by inertia. At the same time, the sound of fighting was heard outside the carriage.
"Be careful." Wang Jinling originally wanted to slow down his falling body, but seeing Feng Qingchen also falling down, he fell down directly, one step faster than Feng Qingchen, and served as a cushion for Feng Qingchen.
“Boom…”
Wang Jinling fell heavily to the ground, and Feng Qingchen fell on top of him. Their cheeks touched, and Feng Qingchen's lips brushed across Wang Jinling's lips.
As if an electric current passed through, Wang Jinling and Feng Qingchen were both stunned. They even forgot to move and just let their lips touch. In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's faces, but they could feel each other's rapid breathing and hot breath.
Time seemed to stand still. It was clearly just a moment, but to the two of them, it felt like a lifetime.
At this moment, the horse suddenly roared, and Feng Qingchen and Wang Jinling were startled. They came to their senses instantly and turned their faces away in embarrassment. They were extremely grateful that the oil lamp in the carriage went out because of the bumpy ride just now, otherwise this scene would really make them feel at a loss as to what to do.
"Ahem." Feng Qingchen used his elbows to prop himself up, but he didn't want to...
"Hiss..." Wang Jinling screamed in pain.
It turned out that Feng Qingchen pressed down Wang Jinling: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Feng Qingchen quickly let go and fell back into Wang Jinling's arms.
Throwing yourself into someone's arms is just like this.
Fortunately, he couldn't see it, otherwise Wang Jinling would definitely see it. Feng Qingchen's face was as red as an autumn apple.
So embarrassing!
The carriage was so small, and the two of them were hugging each other, the posture was as ambiguous as it could be, and... Feng Qingchen knew the human body very well, so she was fully aware of Wang Jinling's physical changes.
So embarrassing!
Feng Qingchen was embarrassed, and Wang Jinling was even more embarrassed. He fell down and Feng Qingchen was rubbing against him. Unless he was dead, his body would definitely react.
Wang Jinling's face was as red as a cooked shrimp. Wang Jinling moved her legs slightly to avoid embarrassing Feng Qingchen, but she didn't expect that Feng Qingchen was not an ordinary woman. She had known it for a long time.
The temperature in the small carriage suddenly rose, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air. Feng Qingchen didn't dare to move, and just lay there, waiting, waiting for Wang Jinling to calm down.
"Master, there is an assassin." The coachman probably guessed the situation inside the carriage and tactfully stood under the carriage. This way he would not hear any movement inside the carriage and at the same time could protect Wang Jinling and Feng Qingchen.
Wang Jinling choked on his saliva and tried to make his voice sound normal: "Well, try to keep them alive."
"Yes." The driver responded but did not leave, still standing there.
His duty was not to repel the assassin, but to protect Wang Jinling.
There really is an assassin!
Feng Qingchen lay on Wang Jinling, trying to figure out whether these assassins were coming for her or Wang Jinling.
Killing the head of the Wang family is a very normal thing.
"Ahem, Qingchen, you can get up now." As time passed, Wang Jinling's breathing gradually stabilized. Seeing that Feng Qingchen hadn't moved yet, he had to remind her. At the same time, he guessed that Feng Qingchen probably knew what was going on, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed still.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinling blushed again. He really had no intention of insulting Feng Qingchen. He just couldn't help himself...
"Qingchen, I..." Wang Jinling wanted to explain, but the words couldn't come out. How could he explain such a thing to an unmarried woman?
