Chapter 165 Use of Heavenly Spirit Frui (2/2)

“With your current identity, you’re destined not to be able to go back to look. Look forward don’t look back!” Lan You Nian comforted. She’s always known Bai Lian was a very good woman. That is why she saved her then. In Lan You Nian’s heart, the two of them can become good friends. It’s a pity that fate makes them fools, something like this would happen.

“Mn, I know!” Yue Bai Lian wistfully smiled. She understood. She was certain she can put down these things. She can continue to keep blessing Lan You Nian. Some love isn’t possession but protecting.

“Right! Heavenly Spirit Fruit is Emperor of Yue’s highly valued quality medicine. How did you get it?” Lan you Nian asked. From the start, she was worried Bai Lian would do something stupid. Afterwards, after she saw Bai Lian, she didn’t overthink but now Heavenly Spirit Fruit was in her hands, Lan You Nian found things quite odd.

Yue Bai Lian lowered her eyes, avoiding Lan You Nian’s bright eyes. In reality, when she asked for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit from Imperial Father, Imperial Father refused to hand it over. Yue Bai Lian knew this would be the result so Yue Bai Lian exchanged something she knew Imperial Father has always wanted. That was the forces left behind for her by her Consort Mother. Her Consort Mother was once a well-known accomplished woman, holding in her hands Yue Empire’s one branch of wealth. It was unfortunate that her Consort Mother fell in love with the world’s most fickle Emperor. She willingly entered the imperial harem to become a consort. In the end, she was killed by the other women.

Yue Bai Lian, in fact, understood amongst those who killed her Consort Mother, her Imperial Father was included. Imperial Father has always wanted the forces in Consort Mother’s hands but Consort Mother secretly gave these forces to her. Later, Imperial Father watched on the sidelines as those women hurt Consort Mother and in the end, caused Consort Mother’s miserable death.

She was pursued by those brothers and sisters and forced to escape from the palace. Fortunately, she encountered master and escaped death. Bai Lian thought she would never, no matter what, return to that place. She didn’t expect the poison master suffers from to require the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. She, without any hesitation, went back, returned to the place she hated.

All these years, Yue Bai Lian didn’t stay in Xiao Jin Pavilion in vain. She’s learned tricks and to plot. Thus she quietly got rid of all those who caused her Consort Mother’s death one by one. Perhaps Imperial Father was aware that it was her doing but without any evidence, he could do nothing.

Heavenly Spirit Fruit was the imperial family’s divine quality medicine. At first, when Bai Lian asked for it from Imperial Father, she was scolded. Later, Bai Lian handed over the forces left by Consort Mother to Imperial Father. In reality, Emperor Yue wasn’t aware that after so many years, that power was already of no use. It’s a pity that when Bai Lian caught sight of Imperial Father’s look of greed, she didn’t say anything. Imperial Father even had Bai Lian become the princess sent off for the peace marriage. Only this way, would he hand the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to her.

Without any thought, Yue Bai Lian agreed. For her, it was the same to her whoever she married. Since it was so, why should she care? Perhaps in other people’s eyes, to become a peace marriage princess was a supreme honor but Yue Bai Lian knew, there was no princess in Yue’s imperial family that was willing to be married off for an alliance because Yue Empire was already restless. If the two empires started a war, then as the alliance princess, was bound to become the point of resentment for Feng empire’s imperial court. Forget glory, splendor, wealth or rank, simply living won’t be an easy thing.

“I agreed to the marriage alliance, so Imperial Father gave me the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!” Yue Bai Lian half-lied and half-spoke the truth. She didn’t want to lie but neither did she want for Lan You Nian to feel guilty. Doing all this was out of her own free will. She didn’t wish for Lan You Nian to shoulder any guilt.

“~sigh” Lan You Nian sighed. How can she not tell that things weren’t as simple as that? However, with the Heavenly Spirit Fruit already in her hands, things can no longer turn back. She’ll just protect Bai Lian even more in the future.

“For the marriage alliance, have you already chosen a candidate?” Lan You Nian asked. A woman like Bai Lian was well suited to being a wife. Lan You Nian can tell that many men wanted to marry Bai Lian. Lan You Nian hoped Bai Lian wouldn’t force herself.

Yue Bai Lian thought for a moment, then shook her head saying, “I don’t have a candidate right now but I’m not in a hurry. I will be staying in Feng Empire a while to look around then choose who I’ll marry!”

Yue Bai Lian stood to steep tea for Lan You Nian, as if nothing has changed since Xiao Jin Pavilion.

“Bai Lian!” Lan You Nian received the teacup with a rare severity saying, “If you don’t want to marry, I have my way of saving you. Don’t wrong yourself. No matter what, you are one of Wu Qing Pavilion’s people. You can’t let people bully you without cause.”

Yue Bai Lian’s eyes were a little red and moist. Her master has never changed. She was still biased in protecting her own people. Only such a master, such a Nian’er was worthy of her to love. Even though she was a woman, Yue Bai Lian has never regretted.

“I know. I have Young Master Wu Qing behind me. Who dares to bully me?” Yue Bai Lian furiously rubbed at her eyes. She hated being so weak. She wished to become invincible. Only this way can she protect those she wanted to protect.

Lan You Nian’s heart ached but she couldn’t do anything for Yue Bai Lian. These feelings she had no way of reciprocating nor could she respond to it. Her heart was already filled to the brim by Feng Yi Xuan, there was no place left for other people.

“For the Farewell banquet in a few days, you must be careful!” Lan You Nian’s eyes flashed with hidden light.

“Is something going to happen?” Yue Bai Lian knew for Lan You Nian to say this, there must be proof.

Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian discussed the matters of the farewell banquet. After the two of them finished their counsel, it was nearly midday. Lan You Nian thought to herself if she stayed too long, she feared Feng Yi Xuan will eat vinegar. Thus, she said farewell to Yue Bai Lian and left the visitor’s palace with Lan Wu and Lan Qu.
