Chapter 146 What is your real name?

Cheng Nianying heard that his tone was not right, and she couldn't help but secretly clench her fingers, ready to strike.

"After you left the clothing shop, I started thinking about how to catch you and tie you up so that there would be no place for you in this world except the Danshuo County Prince's Mansion."

Cheng Nianying's eyelids twitched and her eyes widened.

Fu Yi paused, a smile reappearing on his face: "Did you get scared?"

Cheng Nianying was a little confused.

She had guessed Fu Yi's scheming, but she never expected Fu Yi to say such words...

"It shouldn't scare you. You are so brave that you can stand up to Qin Yurong and even kill people in the Prince's Mansion." Fu Yi said lightly.

Cheng Nianying unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt tightly, her heart in turmoil.

He knows?

Not only did he know about the substitutionary marriage, he knew... much more than she had guessed!

Fu Yi walked over, took her hand, sighed softly and said, "It's a little cold."

He said, "Who told you to go out? You didn't even have a hand warmer."

It's hard to say whether the tone is gentle or what.

But Cheng Nianying felt a little stiff.

Fu Yi led her to the table, made her sit down, and then took out a new branch of winter plum blossoms from the table.

The plum blossoms were sent to Cheng Nianying's nose.

Cheng Nianying raised her head unconsciously, but he held her tightly from behind.

"Can you still smell it?" Fu Yi asked.

Cheng Nianying tensed up and pursed her lips: "I can smell it."

"Really? Even if you can smell it, the smell should be weaker."

Fu Yi pinched her earlobe and rubbed it gently: "Your perception has become a little dull, hasn't it?"

The terrifying guess gradually took shape in Cheng Nianying's mind.

But she still tried her best to keep calm and not respond, let alone panic.

Fu Yi smiled and praised: "You are amazing. You were also so calm in front of the emperor before."

"But you should be more honest with me. My sense of smell, taste, and touch have decreased, and my pain has increased... This is too dangerous."

He finished speaking.

He held a white porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Cheng Nianying.

He asked, "Open it and take a look?"

Cheng Nianying clenched her teeth, reached out to take the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and saw the familiar pills tightly stuffed inside.

"There are six pills here, enough for you to spend a whole year without worries." Fu Yi paused and asked her, "Do you want them?"

“…”

Cheng Nianying breathed in and out gently.

Her breathing was steady, but her palms were already starting to feel numb.

"I ask you so many questions just to find out how I should treat you."

"Xiao He." The two words rolled over his tongue with a hint of tenderness.

But then he said, "This must also be a fake name, right?"

Cheng Nianying wanted to turn around to see his expression, but Fu Yi wouldn't let her.

Fu Yi said sympathetically, "You don't have to rush. You can slowly think about these questions and how to answer them one by one."

He smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you brought me walnut cakes today."

Cheng Nianying pursed her lips again and said, "My hands are cold."

Fu Yi held her hand.

Cheng Nianying added, "I want a hand warmer."

"Okay." Fu Yi tapped the table with his fingers, "Someone come here."

The guard outside the door immediately responded and came in.

Fu Yi, however, maintained his embrace of Cheng Nianying from behind, without changing a bit. He only had to tell the guards, "Get a hand warmer."

The guard responded and went to retrieve it after a while.

Fu Yi took it, put it in her palm, and asked, "Is it hot?"

The guard retreated and closed the door again as he asked. A figure outside was faintly visible on the door... Several guards were standing there, just a few feet away, allowing for quick response.

Cheng Nianying gritted her teeth and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​retaliating against Fu Yi.

"How much does the prince know?"

Fu Yi laughed slightly when he heard this: "So, based on my answer, you can determine how much you reveal?"

"You brought me a new handkerchief, and I can tell you how much I know."

"Qin Yurong was bewitched by Prince Rui before she married, and had an affair with him. Prince Rui, under the name of Crown Prince, went around seducing women. Wei Yanhua was one of them.

"After the Kuizhou case, the crown prince was deposed and died. Chu Zhen saw that he could not climb up the royal family, so he brought Qin Yurong back with him.

“I want to trade back with you.

"That's their business."

"Tell me about yours."

"You intended to eliminate Qin Yurong's future troubles. When the spy planted in the mansion found you, you killed him directly. You also decided to follow the clues to find her lover and eliminate him as well."

"At that time, I was trying to cover up the murder case for you in front of the emperor, but I took the blame silently.

"Let everyone think I killed him."

Cheng Nianying felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

"I thought you would say thank you." Fu Yi's tone was slightly low.

Cheng Nianying had nothing to say.

After holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "You know everything."

"Where did the medicine come from?" Cheng Nianying fiddled with the porcelain bottle and soon had her own guess. "Zizhu? Did you go to Prince Liang's Mansion?"

Fu Yi touched her neck: "How clever! How could Qin Yurong deceive me? I soon knew you had escaped."

Cheng Nianying suddenly retorted: "I lied to you."

"Yes... yes. You finally tricked me." Fu Yi smiled and said, "I'm not angry."

Cheng Nianying was suspicious.

Really?

That's so scary right now...

Fu Yi picked up the porcelain bottle again and asked her, "Tell me, do you want it or not?"

"What if I want it? What if I don't want it?"

"Just tell me honestly what the other half of your reason for coming back today is. I want to hear it."

“…”

“…………”

After a long silence, Cheng Nianying said, "I don't want to confront you head-on."

Fu Yi's face darkened slightly.

"I want to bury the hatchet with the prince."

This is the truth.

"How do you want to make peace with me?"

"This is what makes me hesitate." Cheng Nianying said softly: "You are the noble one, I have no choice."

The corners of Fu Yi's brows slowly relaxed again. He let go of Cheng Nianying, and the feeling of oppression immediately dissipated.

He came and sat down opposite her, and said gently, "You have any choice except leaving this road."

He said, "I'm telling you now, this is what I want you to do."

Cheng Nianying looked at him in surprise and slowly spread out her palm: "That medicine..."

Fu Yi took one and placed it in her hand, smiling: "Here you go."

that's all?

That's it?

Cheng Nianying was a little bit unbelievable.

"Then... can I leave?" she asked, and then she noticed that Fu Yi's expression changed again. She immediately said, "I'm just going to the next door."

The ground is indeed not a place for people to sleep.

Fu Yi responded: "Okay."

Cheng Nianying breathed a sigh of relief, but her suspicions grew. Why was he so easy to talk to?

Cheng Nianying stood up, but didn't leave immediately.

Fu Yi looked at her hesitantly, and his mood improved a little, so he took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Nianying turned around and said, "I want some more medicine." She pointed at the porcelain bottle and said, "Not that one."

"That is..."

"Golden wound medicine, ginseng..."

"Are you injured on this trip?"

Cheng Nianying shook her head, without a trace of guilt in her eyes: "I want to save it."

"Then tell me, is Xiaohe a fake name?"

It turns out that only an exchange can work.

Cheng Nianying nodded and responded, "Yeah."

"What's your real name?"

"Xiao Miao."

“……?”

Cheng Nianying stared at him with eyes wide open, sincerity written all over her face.

"It sounds like a pseudonym." Fu Yi rubbed his fingertips.

"Why did I name myself Xiao He? It was because of He Miao He Miao that I came up with this idea. For someone like me...how can I have a proper name?"

Fu Yi's expression relaxed, and he actually softened a bit.

He walked over, touched Cheng Nianying's face again, and whispered, "Okay, I understand."

He would give her a better name.

It doesn't matter which family you are registered under.

What good things can Chu Zhen find with his abilities?

The former commander of the imperial guards, Jiang, was a real wealthy man with the surname Jiang.
