Chapter 415 Twin Brothers From the Same Womb
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Sang Luo successfully redeemed the [Spirit Fox Eye] from the Night Quell Pavilion Master and hired a famous doctor at great expense to treat Yun Qi's eyes. After the treatment, there was a recovery period of two to three months.
The subsequent recovery during this period was extremely important. Once a mistake occurred, all previous efforts would be in vain. Yun Qi almost confined himself to his room, and even Sang Luo rarely saw him anymore.
Her thoughts continued to be focused on finding weapon refining materials.
Another two months passed, and Sang Luo had found all the remaining weapon refining materials. As long as she retrieved her true form, she could declare a complete success and return home in triumph!
Counting the days, she had been here for almost four months, and she didn't know what the situation was like in the Beast World of later generations...
The cold winter in Qingqiu had passed, ushering in spring.
Sang Luo finished handling her miscellaneous affairs and came to the Plum Blossom Garden. Facing her was a young man standing under the flourishing and swaying magnolia tree.
The young man was slender, with ink-black hair and snow-white clothes. He stood quietly and attentively by the pond next to the forest, examining the playful fish frolicking in the water.
The pond water was clear, reflecting his delicate and gentle face, like a cold moon in the water. His dark, clear eyes didn't blink as he watched, completely engrossed, not even hearing the footsteps behind him.
Sang Luo was also momentarily mesmerized.
This scene was truly too beautiful.
She couldn't bear to interrupt.
A figure slowly appeared on the water surface, and the timid fish flicked their tails and swam away. Yun Qi turned around and looked back, "Your Highness."
"Are your eyes healed?"
Yun Qi took her hand and stroked his flawless right cheek, as well as his delicate and refined eyebrows and eyes.
He smiled softly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The treatment went very smoothly."
He lowered his head and gazed intently into Sang Luo's eyes, as if looking into the depths of her eyes. For a moment, their eyes met, and Sang Luo's heart skipped a beat. She withdrew her hand somewhat unnaturally, "That's good!"
Yun Qi looked at her dodging, slightly flushed face and chuckled softly, turning his head to look at the surrounding scenery.
The Plum Blossom Garden was originally built by Princess Ji Wan for her male consorts. Every brick, tile, grass, and tree was carefully chosen. The scenery was naturally beautiful, especially the white magnolia tree in the middle of the courtyard. It had been growing for a long time. It was said that the princess had specially sent people to transplant this ancient tree from other places. It was lush and luxuriant, and the snow-white magnolia flowers swirled in the air with the wind or scattered in the courtyard, which was extremely ethereal and beautiful.
Yun Qi raised his hand to catch a white petal, "Thank you, Your Highness, for bestowing this courtyard to me. I never knew there were so many beautiful scenes in the courtyard before. Fortunately, I have these eyes, so I can see these scenes..."
He paused, then looked back at her, "Your Highness has also changed a lot compared to when you were a child."
"Oh? When I was a child?"
Sang Luo looked surprised. Had Yun Qi and Ji Wan met before?
Yun Qi nodded, "Years ago, my father and I were invited to the Red Fox Clan's family banquet, and I had a brief encounter with the princess. I also gave the princess a small felt rabbit made by myself. Does the princess really not remember?"
"Ah?" Sang Luo's mind stalled.
She quickly searched the princess's memories...
There were too many, how could she look through them all!
Yun Qi saw her stunned and wide-eyed appearance, seemingly regretful and somewhat aggrieved, "The princess said she liked it very much and would keep it safe, but it seems that the princess has long forgotten."
Sang Luo smiled awkwardly, "That, that little felt rabbit, I seem to have a little impression. It turned out that you gave it back then. I thought it was your brother who went, but it was too long ago. I don't know where I threw it. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind. If Your Highness likes it, I can make you another one. How about a little fox?" he chuckled.
"Sure, so many years have passed, your craftsmanship must have improved."
"Yes, the kitchen has prepared lunch. Your Highness, please have lunch first."
Sang Luo followed him and had a meal together.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two were harmonious and loving.
The princess had rarely come to the backyard in the past few months. When she occasionally came, she went to the Plum Blossom Garden and never went to the rooms of other male consorts. It was simply enviable.
Everyone in the world knew that the princess favored this disfigured male consort alone.
But only Yun Qi knew clearly that the princess had never touched him.
At night, he looked at the young man in the mirror.
He reached out and stroked half of his disfigured face.
Was it because of this face...
The wound on his face was injured by bee fire poison, and he missed the best time for treatment, so there was almost no possibility of recovery.
Seeking medical advice was also helpless.
...
Sang Luo had been coming to Plum Blossom Dock these days, and every time she came, she saw Yun Qi reading a book.
He said he had caught a cold, and his veil covered the lower half of his face.
It made the young man's eyebrows and eyes look more delicate and indifferent, his clothes fluttering like clouds, and he held a scroll of books in his hand, like a refined and noble son of a noble family.
Sang Luo sat across from the desk, resting her chin in her hands and admiring the beauty. She chatted idly with Yun Qi and asked about the young master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Sang Luo was very curious about Yan's past.
She had always thought that Princess Ji Wan and Yan had grown up together and developed feelings for each other, a pair of enviable celestial couples, but now it seemed that this was not the case - it was the princess who took the initiative to pursue Yan, but she was repeatedly rebuffed. Did Yan have a sweetheart before?
"Do you know what kind of noble female your brother likes?"
Yun Qi's hand paused slightly, and his voice was light and cool, "Your Highness is very concerned about my brother's affairs."
"Don't you know that I wanted to marry your brother back then, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. Even if I lose, I have to know where I lost!" Sang Luo said seriously.
"My relationship with my brother is not good, and I don't know what kind of female he likes." Yun Qi turned his head to look at her.
Sang Luo sighed regretfully.
Yun Qi looked down at the scroll in his hand again, turning two pages, but he was a little absent-minded, "...Why did Your Highness fall in love with my brother?"
Sang Luo put herself in the princess's shoes, "Uh...is it because he looks good? You should have heard the rumors about me from the outside world. I just like beautiful males. I fell in love with the young master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan at first sight and pursued him for many years!"
"So, Your Highness likes my brother's face?"
Sang Luo nodded, which was right.
Yun Qi closed the book, "My brother's appearance is the best in the world, no one can surpass him... But does Your Highness know that my brother and I are twins from the same womb."
"You two were born from the same womb?" Sang Luo was surprised, but also expected it.
Yun Qi didn't have the disfigured half of his face that did look very similar to Yan, even exactly the same. Even two brothers would find it difficult to look so similar. She had guessed it before, but... "Since you were born from the same womb, then why did he become the young master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but you were given the title of illegitimate child?"
"Outsiders don't know, my mother gave birth to two children in one pregnancy, one white fox and one black fox. The black fox is known as a beast of misfortune in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so I was thrown into the countryside to fend for myself, and my father took my brother away. His newly married wife had no children for many years, so she took my brother under her name and claimed to the outside world that he was her biological child," Yun Qi replied.
