Chapter 570: Every Woman’s Dream Partner: Demon King
Although Gu Yun admitted that she was Tu Xiupei, her figure and straightforward personality still did not seem like it. After giving it a thought, Gu Nansheng realized that she was rather similar to Lin Suyin. However, they had not had much contact, therefore her memories of her were vague.
In the evening, Gu Nansheng returned in a flustered manner. When she saw Feng Tianlan, she said anxiously, “Tianlan, Gu Yun really is Tu Xiupei.”
“Why do you say so?”
Gu Nansheng then revealed everything that she had found out from her mother.
Twenty years ago, when the Beiqi Emperor was just crowned as the emperor, his foundation was unstable. At that time, Xu Jiayi was the queen mother’s favorite daughter. Because the queen mother was in charge of the imperial power, therefore, the Beiqi Emperor tried to please Xu Jiayi. With her help, the queen mother slowly let go of her power, allowing the Beiqi Emperor’s authority to become stable. When the queen mother passed away, Xu Jiayi disappeared as well.
“At that time, my father still needed to depend on my mother’s family to overthrow the queen mother. Therefore, when he knew that Xu Jiayi was pregnant, he told everyone that he had killed the baby in her womb. She was then sent out of the palace. If that baby was born that time, that baby would be seventeen, the same as Tu Xiupei.”
“Seventeen.” Feng Tianlan felt reflective and said, “I’m already seventeen.”
It had been almost two years since her soul was resurrected. How time flew by. Without her around, Shen Yunya must be sleeping in comfort while dreaming about getting married to Xi Jin.
Two years had passed, and she was planning to return within three years. Was Shen Yunya prepared?
“Tianlan?” Gu Nansheng did not know what she was thinking about. She felt sorry for her at that moment. She looked like she was enduring something silently.
Feng Tianlan regained her senses and let out a soft ‘uh-huh’. “Nothing, I’m just thinking about what girls at this age are up to?”
“Girls at this age are either someone’s wife or someone’s mother,” replied Gu Nansheng as she looked at Feng Tianlan in a teasing manner. “Do you want to be like them? Do you want to be a bride and get married to the dream partner of every girl in the Guiyuan Continent, the Demon King?”
Feng Tianlan giggled. “So is it confirmed that Tu Xiupei is the Beiqi Emperor’s illegitimate daughter?”
“Yes. However, there’s another secret regarding this matter. Xu Jiayi was not the previous emperor’s biological child, which was why my father could overthrow the queen mother so easily.” It was fortunate that she was not a biological child, or else she would feel disgusted whenever she thought about her father doing those inappropriate things to her own aunt.
Feng Tianlan let out a soft mumble.
“So, now we can conclude that Gu Yun is Feng Tianlan?” Right after saying those words, Gu Nansheng shook her head in disbelief. “Although Tu Xiupei was my father’s illegitimate child, I just can’t connect her with Gu Yun. The difference in their temperaments is too huge.”
Tu Xiupei didn’t have Gu Yun’s intelligence and her calm temperament. Based on the incident two days ago, if it was Tu Xiupei, she would be jumping around anxiously. How could she not say a single word about it until today.
“I’ve sent someone to investigate this matter. You should get busy with your stuff. Tomorrow is the coronation day of the Beiqi Crown Prince, while you’re getting married three days from today. You must be extremely busy. You don’t have to visit me anymore. With Azurite around, everything will be fine, don’t worry.”
Gu Nansheng was worried she might disturb her rest, therefore she nodded and said to her, “Rest well, don’t waste your energy. I’ll visit you when I’m free.”
The next day, the Beiqi Crown Prince was crowned the emperor. The former Beiqi Emperor became the retired emperor. After a busy day, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons. The atmosphere was extremely lively as the eldest princess of the Beiqi Nation was getting married.
The night before Gu Nansheng’s wedding, Azurite returned with information. “Miss, I’ve found out some information about Tu Xiupei and Lin Suyin.”
