Chapter 1057: 1057

“So?” Feng Tianlan asked indifferently. “Why didn’t you marry her back then? Even if she wasn’t willing to do it, you could still have fought for it to happen. But you didn’t. You ran away instead, like a deserter.”

He Lianhuang’s imposing manner disappeared completely as he was faced her. “Dai’er…”

“He Liang, you don’t like Sister Lin and she doesn’t want to get married to you. It’s much better this way. If you marry her, a princess from another country, out of responsibility, are you going to make her the empress? That’s impossible. Then, are you going to make her, a respected princess, your imperial noble consort and lower her status in a different country?”

He Lianhuang opened his mouth to refute what she said. But he couldn’t do it, because what she said was true.

Normally, the emperor of one country would only marry the princess of another nation to make peace with that nation. No matter how much the emperor doted that foreign princess, he could never make her his empress and give her charge of his imperial harem.

When Feng Tianlan saw that he was speechless, she continued to speak, “Look at it this way, even if you can make her your empress, you will still choose other concubines. Besides, everyone from the palace to the people of Xi Yuan Nation would definitely pay close attention to her, waiting to get hold of evidence that can be used against her. How long can you protect her from that? If you want to protect her this once, are you able to protect her forever?”

“I…” He Lianhuang was speechless once again.

“You can’t, because you don’t like her. You don’t love her. She won’t be in your good graces forever. Sister Lin will never be happy. This was why she refused to get married to you and even hid her pregnancy from you. She was very clear about what your future together would be like. She knows herself well too. She knows exactly what she wants, and she has never aggrieved herself.”

Sister Lin’s character was too outstanding and dazzling. Even Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but admire her character.

After hearing what she said, He Lianhuang just stared at her. Then, he closed his eyes. She was the person he really liked and loved. How could he like Princess Zhaoyang?

If she were the one instead, he wouldn’t have hesitated, even if he had to go through immense dangers and difficulties.

Feng Tianlan glanced at him. She spoke indifferently, “Sister Lin doesn’t need you to be responsible. So there is no need for you to put yourself in such a difficult position. Besides, think about Shen Yunya’s motive for telling you this in the first place. Don’t get used by others.”

“I would like to visit Shen Yunya.” He Lianhuang had wanted Feng Tianlan’s opinion.

“She is at the East Palace’s Nanyuan. Go look for Xi Jin.” Feng Tianlan was done talking about her. She left.

After watching Feng Tianlan leave, He Lianhuang closed his eyes. Initially, he wanted to protect her forever. However, he accidentally made a mistake and had intimate relations with Princess Zhaoyang. Had everything had changed ever since she died three years ago?

…

Right after Feng Tianlan entered the United Mercenary Regiment, she saw a hill-like figure rushing towards her at an incredible speed. That person’s footsteps were causing the things on the table to tremble.

“Big Sister Lan!” Xiao Xiao threw herself at Feng Tianlan excitedly when she saw her.

Si Mobai frowned as he watched Xiao Xiao hugging Feng Tianlan. But he didn’t stop her after considering the fact that they hadn’t met each other for a long time. Besides, Lan’er looked very happy.

“Xiao Xiao, let go of me. Otherwise, I will be suffocated.” Feng Tianlan’s face was buried between two tender papaya-sized mounds of flesh. This was just how she remembered Xiao Xiao. It felt so familiar.

Xiao Xiao smiled shyly. Then, she let go of her and blushed in embarrassment. “I was too excited. Too excited.”

Da Da also rushed towards Feng Tianlan. He initially wanted to give her a bear hug, but he was frightened stiff by Si Mobai’s cold gaze.
