Chapter 20: The Royals

Nangong Yi and Nangong Jin'er returned to Cuiyun Pavilion with a stomach full of questions, and they didn't know what Yan Zimo's true identity was. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.

"Third brother, is there any news? We asked many medical centers, but no one knew about Yan Gongzi. Nangong Yu and the others had already returned to the restaurant, and as soon as they saw Nangong Yi coming back, they couldn't wait to ask.

"Yu, things may not be as simple as we think." Although Nangong Yi was still not sure of Yan Zimo's identity, he also knew that what he said before should not be true, so even if they searched all the medical halls in the capital, it was impossible to find Yan Zimo.

"What happened?" Nangong Yu and the others all looked at each other, not knowing why Nangong Yi said this.

"When we inquired just now, someone told us that Yan is the royal surname, and there can be no doctor surnamed Yan at all." Nangong Jin'er told everyone the information she had just learned, and she didn't know why it had become like this.

"What's going on here? Could it be that what Yan Gongzi said before was false? Nangong Yu was also taken aback after hearing this, although he was not very familiar with Yan Zimo, he felt that his personality should be credible.

"Yu, is the emperor of the Northern Cloud Kingdom called Yan Chentian?" Nangong Yi did not answer Nangong Yu's question, but asked him such a question.

"That's true, could it be that Yan Gongzi is really a member of the royal family of Beiyun Kingdom?" Although Nangong Yu doesn't care about political affairs on weekdays, he still knows the name of the enemy emperor.

"It seems that the identity that Zimo told us is indeed fake, but the name should be real, but why did he do this?" Nangong Yi only suddenly realized now, but he had never associated Yan Zimo with the emperor of the Beiyun Kingdom before.

If Yan Zimo is really from the royal family, then it can explain why he has such an extraordinary temperament and courage.

It's just that since Yan Zimo is a person in the palace of the Northern Cloud Kingdom, why did he go to the Southern Spirit Kingdom? Could it be that there is some bad intention?

But after Nangong Yi carefully recalled the experience of meeting Yan Zimo, he denied the idea just now.

Because he thought that Yan Zimo had said that he hoped that the Northern Cloud Kingdom and the Southern Spirit Kingdom could coexist peacefully and have friendly exchanges, and at this point, he and himself had the same thoughts.

Coupled with the fact that Yan Zimo not only saved his life, but also saved Ling Yuwei, how could such a kind-hearted person be a bad person?

So in the end, Nangong Yi denied Yan Zimo's idea of approaching them with ulterior motives, and he felt that the reason why he didn't tell everyone his true identity should also be a hardship.

By now, Nangong Yi has been able to determine that Yan Zimo is a member of the royal family, but he still can't guess his specific identity, but what he can be sure of is that his identity is by no means simple.

Just when everyone was caught up in various speculations about Yan Zimo's identity, there was a sudden commotion in the private room next door.

Nangong Yi frowned slightly, a little unhappy with the harsh voice, the reason why they chose to live here was because the environment here was elegant, and the people who came were all literati, so it stands to reason that there would be no such noisy sound.

Originally, Nangong Yi didn't want to pay attention to it, but the words that came from next door again surprised them a little.

"You are talking nonsense, how could Brother Zimo choose someone else to be the crown princess? Miss Ben is the only candidate for the crown princess. A somewhat arrogant female voice sounded next door, and the words she said clearly reached Nangong Yi's ears.

"Brother Zimo...... Crown Princess, could it be that Brother Zimo is the crown prince of Beiyun Kingdom? Nangong Jin'er was the first to react, although she didn't know if the person next door was talking about Brother Zimo as she thought, but her heart still couldn't help but hurt.

"Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, why don't we go next door and ask?" Nangong Yu felt that if Yan Zimo was really the prince of Beiyun Kingdom, then things would become more complicated.

"Jin'er......" Before Nangong Yi could reply, Nangong Jin'er had already run out.

"May I ask if the brother Zimo you just talked about is Yan Zimo?" Nangong Jin'er didn't want to speculate anymore, so she decided to ask the person next door for clarification.

"Who are you? Can you just say the prince's name? The woman who spoke just now looked at Nangong Jin'er with a little hostility, judging from her dress, she shouldn't be an ordinary person.

"I'm Brother Zimo's friend, who are you?" Although she didn't know who the woman in front of her was talking, Nangong Jin'er didn't have a good impression of her.

"You don't even know Miss Ben? Then listen well, Miss Ben is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion - Leng Wushuang, and she is also the future crown princess. Leng Wushuang looked at Nangong Jin'er with great disdain, but when he talked about his identity, he was very proud, especially when he said that he was the future princess, the smugness on his face was even more obvious.

"Miss Leng, you said you were the future crown princess?" Nangong Jin'er endured her heartache and asked in disbelief, how could this be? Brother Zimo already has a crown princess, is he going to get married?

"What? You don't believe what Miss Ben says? Leng Wushuang has always been arrogant and arrogant, so he is very dissatisfied with Nangong Jin'er's suspicions.

"Miss Leng, just wake up, we've all heard that the crown prince already has a crown princess, but that person is not you." Just when Nangong Jin'er wanted to continue asking, the other women in the room spoke.

"You are all talking nonsense, how can such an ugly woman be the crown princess? The crown prince will definitely marry me as the crown princess. Leng Wushuang said very unconvinced, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"I don't know what the prince thinks, he actually chose a woman with an ugly birthmark on her face as the crown princess, and we have no hope." The other women didn't pay attention to Leng Wushuang, but sighed to themselves.

"A woman with an ugly birthmark on her face? Have you seen one? What kind of birthmark is it? The words of the other women made Nangong Jin'er's heart startled, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

"I haven't seen it, but I heard that the woman has a butterfly-like black birthmark on the left side of her face." Someone answered Nangong Jin'er's question, but she didn't have the heart to listen any further, because from their descriptions, she was already able to determine who the ugly woman they were talking about.

And that person was the Ling Yuwei they were looking for, because the birthmark on her face was unique.

But why did it turn out like this? Her beloved brother Zimo became the crown prince, while her best cousin became the crown princess.

How can you accept such a cruel truth? And how should she tell Nangong Yi?
