Feng Yi Lan's eyes looked like a blazing pair of fire as she looked down at the recovering wound on Li Xue's neck. "Was she crazy? How could she do something like this? Come on, bring her to me and I will let her know the real taste of the sword. Did she really think she would slide off after doing such an awful thing to you?" She yelled losing her calm.
And at her loud pitch like that, Li Xue could only press one of her ears against her voice. "Calm down, Yi Lan. The wound is no longer deep. See, it's already healing. Furthermore, she was a princess and maybe …"
Before she could complete her words, Feng Yi Lan was already offended. "Princess? What's so great in that? Isn't it just a title before her name? I am also the young miss of the Feng family. No one would dare to say a word if I go and murder someone. But that doesn't mean that I will go and kill someone for fun okay. So don't exaggerate the princess title so much. That title is simply nothing."
She said and looking at her, Li Xue couldn't believe it. Her friend could still argue like that. Nothing much has changed in her personality.
Feng Yi Lan found her staring like that and simply shrugged her shoulders in nonchalance. "What? Don't stare at me like that. Am I saying something wrong? Or do you now want to support your assassin."? She said before taking her seat on the sofa, all comfortably.
Li Xue clicked her tongue. "Nope, dear. I am just looking at which level you could look down at me, your best friend. And believe me, I had never imagined you saying all that for me." She said with a disappointed expression.
Feng Yi Lan frowned, not understanding the accusation of the girl. "Wait. What? I looked down on you, dear? When?" She asked and being all casual to her askance Li Xue nodded.
"Just now, dear. You did it just now. You looked down on me."
She said and Feng Yi Lan's tug on brows grew deeper. "Hey! Don't accuse me falsely. When did I do that? I was looking down at the title of the princess, not you. How did you get yourself involved in it?"
Li Xue wanted to chuckle. But she controlled herself as feigning the expression of hurt she said, "How is it different? If you look down on the title of princess in front of a princess. Doesn't it mean the same? That you looked down at me."
She said and the more Feng Yi Lan heard her the more she thought, her words sounded like a brain twister. "Girl, can you please not talk in the language of my brother? I am not able to understand it. Are you a princess that talking bad about its title could affect you?"
She said, giving a soft chuckle, making fun of her own words. But her chuckle paused when in respect of her words, she saw Li Xue maintaining a straight face. "What? What does that poker expression of your face mean? Are you a princess?" She asked, confused at her own words.
Li Xue stared at her for some moment before nodding to her suspicion. "You can say that." She said and at her words, Feng Yi Lan just blinked her eyes, still not getting it.
"Say what? You are a princess? Like real princess?"
Li Xue nodded again and getting all serious at her simple nod, Feng Yi Lan asked with utmost concentration. "How? And when did you become the princess and how did I never know that?"
If there would have any change in the expression of the girl, maybe Feng Yi Lan would have doubted it. If it would have been any other girl, she might have not believed her boasting. But since it was Li Xue, Yi Lan could never doubt that the girl would become over boastful about such a thing.
"Li Xue! Tell me, before I curse my brother. He already took you away from me, then he didn't allow me to come here to meet you often. He also didn't let me know about this wound. And now this another thing. I am already losing my calm. Why could he not accept that I could be more dear to you?"
Feng Yi Lan complained, venting about all the situations. And Li Xue no longer knew how to handle her. So, keeping the chase short she revealed.
"Ah, in this situation, you can't blame your brother. I was to be blamed since I didn't want to hear or accept the truth. But since now I have already accepted it, you are the first person I am revealing it to. So, keep aside all your complaints and hear me out first." She said and sealing her lips, Feng Yi Lan got ready for it.
"Fine, I won't blame your husband. Tell me, the truth then." She said and Li Xue moved her body a bit towards her to start the conversation with seriousness.
"Yi Lan, my birth wasn't as simple as I have thought it to be all these years. I don't know what to say about it. But since you are my friend and you have known almost all of it since past. I will keep it brief to say that I wasn't actually the daughter of Li Sheng. I got to know that he was my foster father. I am actually the daughter of His Majesty, Shin Tingming."
Li Xue said and hearing her say that Feng Yi Lan opened her mouth to say something but then closed it down, feeling the lack of words.
But then thinking for more time, she asked, "That means you are the daughter of His and Her Highness, which is making you a princess now?"
Li Xue felt a bit awkward but she shook her head, trying her best to not get embarrassed about the truth. "Nope, I am the daughter of His Majesty and the woman who gave birth to me, Liu Hua. In the past, she trapped His Majesty in the wrong way to pave a path for her success. But unfortunately, she lost in front of the true love of the couple. So, all these years, she vented all the pain of her failure on me, cursing my existence. And the rest story of our relationship is not unknown to you."
She said, giving a deep sigh. Though it sounded simple on the surface, Feng Yi Lan knew how difficult it was to say all that. She knew what pain the girl must have endured to bring all that up again.
Reaching out her shoulders, Feng Yi Lan patted before asking, "Are you alright?"
Li Xue looked at her and then smiled. Perfectly okay. I just wanted to get all of it out and make myself accept it once and for all. The past has gone. From today, I won't think of that past of mine and would only look forward."
She said and understanding her emotion, the friend nodded.. "Great that you have sorted it out. So, tell me what are your plans about it?"
