Chapter 887 - Xi Jin Knows That Feng Tianlan Is Dai’er 3

Feng Tianlan didn’t know what to say. She just let him take her away. When they arrived at the palace gates, they met Xi Lin.

“Tianlan...” Xi Lin gave the two of them a weird look. She had just received the news and wanted to go take a look. However, it seemed like she didn’t have to leave anymore.

Xi Jin was gripping Feng Tianlan’s hand tightly while staring closely at Xi Lin. He then asked in a deep voice, “Xi Lin, you knew about this long ago, didn’t you?”

“I...” Xi Lin was speechless. She didn’t know what to say, because some words were not meant to be said.

Xi Lin glanced at them and then laughed bitterly. He wanted to ask Feng Tianlan how exactly he had let her down. Why had everyone learned that she had been reborn before him?

However, after thinking about it, he had let her slip away several times. He even almost married the real murderer, Shen Yunya, just because of some made-up last words.

In the end, he really had let her down. What rights did he have to question her?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Big Brother, you are hurting her.” Xi Lin felt bad when she heard Xi Jin laugh at himself in a mocking manner. She then looked at Feng Tianlan, who was obediently letting him hold her hand and said those words.

Xi Jin glanced at Feng Tianlan, who was pursing her lips tightly. Her face was turning pale, and her forehead was drenched in sweat. He really was hurting her.

Xi Jin loosened his grip immediately. He wanted to apologize, but he realized that he didn’t have any right to do so. He couldn’t say it out loud because he was feeling weighed down.

“Let’s talk at the East Palace,” Feng Tianlan said faintly. She rubbed her aching arm as she raised her head and looked at Xi Jin.

None of them said a word on their way to the East Palace. They then asked everyone else to retreat, leaving the three of them alone.

Xi Jin looked at Feng Tianlan, who remained silent. He wanted to ask her why she hadn’t reunited with him when they were at the Feng Manor before. However, after thinking about it, what right did he have to ask her that?

When they first met, she asked him if he ate some dumplings when he got home.

He then answered yes. When he found her question rather weird, she said that he had tender, white skin, as if he had grown up eating dumplings.

However, he didn’t realize what she was saying. He had even suspected that Tu Xiupei might be the real Dai’er and helped Tu Xiupei get her Cinnabar field back. Perhaps she hated him after he hadn’t recognized her and helped Tu Xiupei, right?

Thinking back on their encounters on Guiyuan Continent, he realized that he only had to expend a little more effort. Even just a tiny bit more, and he could have figured out that she was Dai’er. However, he kept letting her slip away because he wasn’t paying enough attention.

Therefore, after behaving like that, how could he still ask her why hadn’t she reunited with him?

“Crown Prince Xi...”

“I am sorry.” Xi Jin lowered his head. Out of thousands of words, he could only say those three.

Feng Tianlan felt quite anguished. She then licked her lips and said, “Crown Prince Xi doesn’t have to apologize. I wanted to leave the past behind after having Mobai by my side. Therefore, I didn’t want to reveal my identity.”

“Tianlan.” Xi Lin looked at Feng Tianlan with gratitude. Even at a moment like this, she still insisted on hiding the truth behind her death just to let her big brother live a normal life.

Xi Jin raised his head and looked at Feng Tianlan. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why does Lin’er know about this then? Why am I the last one to know out of the six of us?”

He probably wasn’t paying enough attention, and that was why he was the last to know.

This was his fault. He was in the wrong. He wasn’t blaming her, but himself. Why couldn’t he recognize her just because she changed bodies? Why did he let her slip away again and again?

Feng Tianlan was speechless. That was because this question was really too hard for her to answer. She could only remain silent. Besides, he was indeed the last one to know out of the six of them.
