512 Who Allowed You To Self-Destruct? Vi (1/2)

”Mother, do you know him?”

Feng Ruqing saw how the man was staring at Nalan Yan. She frowned and asked.

Nalan Yan was stunned. She followed Feng Ruqing's gaze and saw the man. She was surprised. ”Qing Yuan?”

Ten years ago, Qing Yuan was still a young boy. Now, he had grown up and he seemed mature.

”Mother, do you know the person standing beside him?” Feng Ruqing smiled slightly. ”Ziyan, she's the princess of Long Ao Kingdom. She was my cousin's fiancee. But, the people from Long Ao Kingdom came a year ago and had broken the engagement. They left my cousin behind.”

All of the people thought that the empress had died many years ago and Long Ao Kingdom never had the intention to break off the engagement. But, it was rather baffling that they came and broke it off that time.

Feng Ruqing could not understand it but now she understood after seeing the man standing beside Ziyan.

Nalan Yan lowered her eyes. ”At first, I know Ziyan's mother. We met each other in Liu Yun Kingdom. Jing'er was there that day too. I saw how Jing'er cared for her unborn child in her belly. So, we made that engagement for them that day.”

She sighed softly and continued speaking.

”But, one cannot force another in the issue of love. I said before that if they could not be together in the future, they could break off the engagement. We made that engagement privately. But, who knew Long Ao Kingdom would do that kind of thing. So, the emperor offered to have an arranged marriage with their princess just to soothe my anger. So, I chose Ziyan.”

But, they still did not get together in the end…

'It's alright. We cannot force anybody to love. I don't like to force anyone. If Ziyan is good, it's fine if I grant what she wants.'

Nalan Yan raised her eyes and saw that Qing Yuan was walking toward her.
