Miracle Doctor Abandoned Daughter The Sly Emperor Is Wild Beast-Tamer Empress Chapter 496 “Feng Shen's Childhood

“Feng Shen, do you know the difference between rice and porridge? Also, your fried eggs are somewhat raw still, and the cuc.u.mbers are too old.”

The dishes were nowhere close to what their names represented. First off, the porridge was so thick that it's a cross between regular cooked rice and congee, making it difficult to consume regardless of what toppings it had. Then there's the fried eggs, clearly the boy didn't know how to crack the sh.e.l.ls because bits and pieces were obviously showing through the final product. Finally, the cuc.u.mbers… well, it's still edible, though not very ideal.

“You don't like it? Wait for me, I will do it again.” Saying it oh so righteously, the boy sounds like he intends to torture the kitchen a second round.

“It's good Feng Shen, if you are going to do it a second time then we can forget about sleeping until sunrise. Come, let us eat.” Unable to bear the sight, Ling Yue went ahead to pull the boy to sit with her.

Since the dishes weren't done right, a bit of burn there, a bit of egg sh.e.l.ls here, it's quite the difficult meal to consume. Fortunately the lad likes to pay close attention to his surroundings. Picking out only the good parts for the girl, Ling Yue did get to have her fill.

“Feng Shen, are you sure you never seen Wu Chong before?” After watching the handsome boy eat as well, mostly the bad parts, the strange question just popped out of her mouth without forethought.

In response, Feng Shen only stayed quiet and didn't answer. However, that hand holding the chopsticks did falter for a split second like he's unsure of something.

“I must be getting all confused due to how much I slept. To think I would find the two of you similar just now. How silly of me, you are so kind and gentle, and that man is the polar opposite of you, all horrible and mean.” Due to her bad habit of lazing around like a cat when she's full, Ling Yue would often spout careless remarks in her current state, thus creating a good minute of awkward silence.

Realizing the situation mustn't continue like this, it was Feng Shen who first spoke up again, “Ling Yue, tell me something about your childhood.”

“There's not much to tell really. I was mentally injured when I was a child so I couldn't remember much aside from what my mother told me. Its better if you tell me about your childhood instead.” Though she said that casually like she didn't mind, but Ling Yue did find it irritating knowing full well the boy's past revolved around that Xue Pian Ran and Cong Lu.

“My mother pa.s.sed away when I was six during a major incident. So, when I was rescued by the king, my life was already at its last straw and was barely able to survive thanks to everyone's help. Since then, I've been perennially sick and had to repeatedly frequent the royal palace and Dan Palace for healing. That was also the time where I met Cong Lu and Xue Pian Ran.” The boy's tone was very light and frank like the story didn't belong to him.

“Feng Shen, if you don't want to say more then its okay, I can understand.” Now it was her turn to regret asking.

She's not so dunt to not realize this was a mistake. According to what she knows from hearsay, the boy's parents were killed during battle and the killers are still at large.

“No Ling Yue, I want you to know about my past. Just like how I want to know about you, I want to share what I have.”

“Do you still have memories of your mother, and your cold disease, how did you catch it?” This was a good opportunity then because Ling Yue had long wanted to figure out the cause of the boy's sickness.

“My parents are both good people. Feng Lancang is my father's name, he's our North Qing's widely recognized WarG.o.d due to his undefeated history on the battlefield. But at home, my old man was nothing more than a doting husband who loves pampering his wife. And my mother, she's the king's younger sister, Princess Qing Feng and undeniable mistress of the Phoenix Manor. Due to my father's absence, it was always my mother who oversaw the household businesses and matters.” Upon recalling his childhood, Feng Shen's voice definitely became sadder like he's reminiscing the past.

Since the death of his parents, he's been abstaining himself from thinking back to that time. Originally the boy thought he would surely be greatly saddened till he couldn't continue, but for some reason, he felt more nostalgia than anything else.

“At the time my mother was already six months into her pregnancy, so, my father promised to return no later than a month in order to make it for her labor. Sure enough, he did as he said and the news of his grand victory came back loud and clear. But In order to see him sooner, my mother took me along with her to the Seven Star Pavilion where she planned to meet up with my father. Sadly, that's when tragedy struck. Along the way, a group of rebels suddenly ambushed us and seriously injured my mother because she was trying to protect me.” When reaching this point in the story, the boy's voice clearly grew much lower as if he was thrust back into that dreaded night of raining horror.

“Son, you must stay hidden. No matter what happens afterwards you are to not make a sound, remember! The Phoenix Edict is our family's greatest treasure, you must keep it on you at all times.” Dripping with blood down her legs, the beautiful woman won't last long, nor would the baby in her belly.

Because of how intense the incident was, the child version of the boy at the time had already lost his wits. Adding in the dreadful appearance of his mother, Feng Shen could do nothing when his mother gave him that final kiss on the forehead before the pursuers caught up with them from behind.

“Princess Qing Feng, you can't escape tonight. I'll tell you the truth so you can stop resisting, your husband the Phoenix Lord has already been killed by us along the road. If you know what's best for you then hand over the Phoenix Edict.”

That was the crus.h.i.+ng blow to the last glimmer of hope within the child's heart, Papa is dead, no, noo~

The boy's first instinct was to run out of his hiding spot to act as the s.h.i.+eld between the enemy, but the last remnant of reason told him otherwise.

“Lancang wouldn't die! Who are you people, and what sort of enmity do you have against us!” A heartbreaking cry escapes the bleeding woman's vocal, showing how desperate she was in this final moment.

“This is only a job for us Princess Qing Feng. Hurry and hand over the Phoenix Edict, then we will at least leave your body and unborn baby intact. Otherwise, keke, our brothers here wouldn't mind having a taste of a North Qing's princess.” After that last comment, the men behind the leading shadow all issued out a disgusting laugh of malicious intent.

That finally did it. Though small and frail himself, Feng Shen had no fear in that second when he dashed out of hiding.

If Papa isn't around anymore then I must protect Mother. I am a man, I must do what a man must do!
