At first, I did not believe it, but considering the recent strange behavior of the illegitimate daughter of the Feng family, Feng Qingcheng, I had no choice but to believe.

　　Since falling into the water a month ago, Feng Qingcheng's temperament had changed drastically.

　　She clamored about equality and refused to kneel even when meeting the Emperor.

　　Regardless of gender, she disregarded societal norms, riding on a horse today with Li Erwang and spending the entire night alone in a room with Murong Jiashizi tomorrow.

　　Although the Kingdom of Qisang was relatively open-minded compared to the other two nations, it had not reached this extent of openness.

　　Feng Qingcheng's behavior was too unconventional.

　　However, ironically, it was precisely this kind of unconventional woman that all the noble families in Shengjing pursued eagerly.

　　Everything matched up, and I couldn't help but believe it.

　　As my consciousness returned, I met Shen Su's worried gaze.

　　"What just happened? Are you feeling unwell?" This was my imperial brother, who had almost been violated by me, but he still cared for me as always.

　　Truly a gentleman, his tenderness shone like the moon on a serene night.

　　He was indeed the man I admired.

　　Just as I was about to proudly raise my chin, a scene flashed before my eyes—a horrifying image of myself being hanged with white silk cloth, pale face, and a protruding tongue, terrifyingly ugly.

　　It was horrifying, too horrifying.

　　I shivered involuntarily.

　　No, I cannot compete with the female lead for a man! "I'm sorry, Brother!" I quickly crawled over to untie the chains that bound Shen Su's hands.

　　"It was my momentary lapse of reason...

　　I apologize for such a great disrespect towards you.

　　Please forgive me, Brother!" I was about to kneel down, but Shen Su grabbed my hand to stop me and gently smiled, "When have I ever blamed you, sister?" He paused for a moment, his eyes slightly downcast, his long eyelashes sweeping over his eyelids before he resumed speaking, his voice slightly hoarse, "But..." Shen Su's voice trailed off, "Though we are not biologically related, in the eyes of the world, we are seen as blood relatives.

　　We must not engage in incestuous acts." "Yes, yes, yes."

　　"I nodded wildly like a pecking chicken and assured, 'Your Highness, rest assured, I will never do this again in the future.' Shen Su looked at me hesitatingly, sighed silently after a while, and said, 'Your Highness believes you.' But your expression on your face doesn't look like you believe me at all! But I can't blame Shen Su.

　　After all, this is not the first time I've done this.

　　Every time, I promise that I will never do it again, but in the end, I still end up imprisoning and drugging again.

　　If I were him, I wouldn't believe it either.

　　I can only prove my sincerity with actions."
