She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...
Qing Yunyao's face was pale, her lips were trembling and she couldn't utter a word.
Pingyang, who was sitting at his seat, could no longer hold back and rushed to the edge of the copper basin. Seeing the blood bead that could not be fused, he shouted in disbelief, "It really can't be fused. You are not Sister Qing? Who are you?"
Pingyang's words and the reactions of everyone in the Qing family told everyone in the hall that Qin Wan was right. The Qing Yue in front of him was not the real daughter of the Qing family at all.
The Emperor of Chu's expression changed, and Empress Xiao was so shocked that she didn't know what expression to make.
Concubine Feng and the eldest princess looked at each other, both pursed their lips, and then frowned.
The Qin family father and daughter sat there, not daring to breathe. They never expected to uncover such a shocking secret, and this secret was revealed by Qin Wan.
Qin Hongzhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
And Chu Yan...
He stood up and looked at the blood that had failed to merge, his heart and eyes full of doubt. If the person in front of him was not his Yue'er, not the daughter of the Qing family, then who was she?
Just thinking this, I felt waves of sharp pain in my heart.
No, it can't be. It must be Qin Wan who did something.
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er. The King is here."
Amidst all the questioning and suspicious gazes, Chu Yan squeezed Qing Yunyao's hand tightly and spoke to comfort her.
"Qin Wan, did you do something in the water?"
Chu Yan asked coldly.
What a cruel trick! He made Yue'er deserted by everyone and tore him and the Qing family apart.
Chu Yan's protection and comfort finally calmed Qing Yunyao's panicked mind. Yes, she hadn't lost yet. How could she admit defeat before the end? There must be a way to break it.
"Tampering? The facts are right in front of you, and you still don't want to admit it? You brought this water, you developed this medicine, and you dripped this blood yourself. How could I ever get even a step closer?"
Qing Yue asked back.
She seemed calm, but her heart was exhausted. Just one look at her father and mother's faces made her feel as if they were being cut by a knife.
She never imagined that uncovering the truth with her own hands would be such a bloody process.
Everyone is in pain.
"It's you, Qin Wan. You must have done something. Did you get my blood a long time ago and use it for experiments? When you killed me in the back alley of Yunzhuang Pavilion and fed me a pill, were you waiting for this day to plot against me?
My master said that I had poison in my body and if I didn't get treatment, I wouldn't live long. It was my master who made medicine for me and gave me a blood transfusion, so I am still alive today.
You are really calculating!
The reason why I dare not acknowledge my blood relationship with Daddy and Big Brother is because I am afraid that you will turn the tables and accuse me, leaving me speechless!"
"You did it. You schemed against me. My eldest brother doubted me, my parents doubted me, and my best friend didn't believe me either. Are you satisfied?"
Qing Yunyao cried out heart-wrenchingly, her tears breaking. The sadness and despair of being misunderstood made the hearts of those who heard it tighten.
"Yue'er."
Rong Wan's eyes were red. She reached out to hug her, but Qing Yunyao just fell into Chu Yan's arms and cried uncontrollably.
Whose hands are shaking, whose tears are falling like rain.
Chu Yan's eyes shot towards Qin Wan like knives. If looks could kill, she would have been torn into pieces.
Qing Yue watched this scene. She always knew that Qing Yunyao was not very smart, but she was really good at acting.
A desperate struggle to escape from the jaws of death.
She must have realized that she could not reveal her identity. Although she had not yet figured out that Qing Yue and Qin Wan were actually the same person, she was certain that Qing Yue would not show up. Even if she told the truth of four years ago, there was no evidence. This was her last bargaining chip.
"Have you performed enough?"
Amidst Qing Yunyao's sorrowful crying, Qing Yue's eyes were cold and hateful.
"Qing Yunyao, do you think you are the smartest person in the world and that everyone should be manipulated by you?"
Qing Yue gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, the three words Qing Yunyao were almost crushed between her lips and teeth.
who?
Qing Yunyao?
The whole thing was twisted and turned again, leaving everyone present speechless, but their hearts were still fluctuating.
"Qin Wan, who are you talking about?"
Pingyang asked in a trembling voice.
It’s not that others don’t ask, it’s that they are still immersed in the incident and haven’t gotten over it. One reversal after another catches people off guard.
"The person in front of you, the person in Chu Yan's arms, is not Qing Yue at all. She is Qing Yunyao who took the Huanyan Pill."
Qing Yue pointed at Qing Yunyao with hatred, and finally spoke out the truth buried deep in her heart word by word.
Quiet, very quiet.
No one reacted, they didn't know how to react at this moment.
Qing Yue? Qing Yunyao?
"You're talking nonsense, Qin Wan. Stop talking nonsense. Do you think anyone will believe you just because you say a few words and make up stories? Everything requires evidence. Why are you suddenly mentioning my sister now? My sister died saving me. I won't allow anyone to slander her."
Qing Yunyao's eyes turned red with hatred, and she roared at Qing Yue.
Why didn't she just let her go? Why?
"Princess Yu, Qing Yunyao was once my cousin. She grew up with Yue'er in the Qing family, and they were as close as siblings. Four years ago, she even died saving Yue'er. Now, do you have any evidence for what you say? Or if Princess Yu knows something, could you please tell me everything?"
Qing Ziyuan stood in front of Qing Yue, with deep anxiety and pain in his eyes, but he still forced himself to beg rationally.
He noticed that something was wrong with his little sister.
He felt that there was no need for Princess Yu to tell such a huge lie on such an occasion. It was absurd and illogical.
From Xiaomei's reaction to the two drops of blood that couldn't merge, everything suggested a problem. If, as Xiaomei claimed, she had been poisoned and had a complete blood transfusion, why didn't she tell me about it at first? Was she panicked, or had forgotten? Was she afraid her family would misunderstand? But no, the Qing family was the most united and harmonious. She should trust her family the most.
"good."
Qing Yue nodded.
Looking into the eldest brother's eyes, "I will tell you the whole truth."
Qing Yue sighed, and then took out a porcelain bottle from her body, "All the truth and evidence are in this porcelain bottle."
Brush, brush, brush.
Several eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in Qingyue's hand.
Qing Yunyao's pupils constricted and her fingers turned white from exerting so much force. What was that thing?
What did Qin Wan take out again?
"What's this?"
Someone finally asked.
Qing Yue didn't look to see who it was, but just followed up with the words, "This is the real antidote to Huanyan Pill. The arsonist who set the fire at Prince Yu's mansion yesterday wanted to destroy this antidote, but he didn't know it. I carry it with me every day, never leaving it, just waiting for today."
Everything is connected.
"Illusionary Face Pill? Is there anyone else here who has transformed their appearance... is it..."
