"If, as the records suggest, she was indeed that Zhao Wu's wife, Zhao Feng and his sister would then be Zhao Wu's children, and they would surely have lands bestowed upon them."
"And what they once depended on for survival is what Ying'er referred to."
"I knew Efang wouldn't do it."
"She has always been alone," Ying Zheng thought to himself, feeling a surge of emotion.
Though he trusted Efang in his heart, the words of reminder from Dunruo still echoed within him.
It even brought him to consider, what if Efang had indeed remarried? How would he confront that?
If Zhao Feng and his sister weren't his children, how would he face it?
But.
Ying Zheng felt guilt deep within, towards Xia Dong'er, towards his own pair of children.
All these emotions surged within him.
Ultimately, it was his own fault.
He hadn't protected them well enough.
"You and your brother are a pair of dragon-phoenix twins."
