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...
Qin Ningyue stared at Chu Yan.
She knew that when she was suspected by Chu Yan, thrown into the Imperial Prison, and frightened to death, and admitted that she was the one who sent the anonymous letter, she had no way out and was left with only death.
Chu Yan's gaze was sharp and cold, staring at her as if he was looking at a dead person, as if if she dared to play any tricks again, her head would be twisted off.
The fear and panic faded away, and Qin Ningyue found that at this moment, she had become extremely calm.
She slowly raised her head, her suppressed gaze fixed on Chu Yan with a desperate look, "Prince You, if I tell you the truth, will you protect me?"
She said protect, not spare!
Originally, she was hiding in the dark, using an anonymous letter to sow discord between Chu Yan and Feng Ling, but she was also prepared to risk everything and die together, because as long as she told this matter, according to the abilities of the two kings Chu Yan and Feng Ling, they would find out about her sooner or later.
But at that time, she didn't know whether Qingyue was alive or dead, or where she was.
But now, it’s different!
She knew such a huge secret, Qing Yue was Qin Wan!
Chu Yan loved Qing Yue almost with his life. That day, in the Golden Palace, she watched the whole process. When he learned about Qing Yue's tragic death, he was in so much pain and despair that he vomited blood, shed tears of blood, and even pierced his heart with a dagger, wanting to follow Qing Yue!
She had witnessed such deep affection with her own eyes and was so shocked that she could remember every detail clearly to this day!
Chu Yan loves Qingyue so much, how could he bear Feng Ling, who had defiled Qingyue, to marry her?
It was Feng Ling who caused them to fall into such a tragic situation.
"explain."
Chu Yan's brows were furrowed, and his impatience reached its peak.
He wasted too much time on Qin Ningyue.
Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth, and her eyes, which always held a hint of arrogance in the past, narrowed at this moment. As if making a desperate move, she finally said the name again.
"It's Feng Ling!"
Chu Yan's eyes tightened and his stern expression became clear. Qin Ningyue refused to tell the truth and his patience was exhausted.
Just as he was about to take action, he heard Qin Ningyue's urgent voice, "Prince You, please listen to me! I have evidence!"
The last four words made Chu Yan pause. The coldness in his eyes almost overflowed, like a sharp blade or an ice cone. He looked straight at Qin Ningyue, and his thin lips moved as if to warn her, but he couldn't utter a word, because at this moment, a huge sense of absurdity surged towards him.
He vaguely felt that Qin Ningyue was telling the truth.
Because at this point, she didn't dare to tell a lie.
But, how is that possible?
He doesn't believe it.
Not to mention Feng Ling's personality, his character is different from his. He is a child who was spoiled by his mother and father, the emperor. He is more of a gentleman and would never do anything to bully Yue'er.
Especially four years ago, Yue'er was already his fiancée. If you think about it, she was his sister-in-law. How could he do such a thing?
It's unreasonable and shouldn't happen.
So when he received the note, he didn't believe it at all. He just wanted to find out who sent the note and force her to tell him why she knew that the person was not a beggar. He also wanted to force her to tell him who that person was.
But he didn't suspect Feng Ling at all.
But at this moment, Yueying Eleven's words suddenly flashed through his mind. He followed his own orders and checked the matter between Feng Ling and Qin Ningyue to find out where the life-saving grace came from. However, too much time had passed, and Feng Ling had hidden all the clues, so there was very little useful information that could be found.
He only reported that Feng Ling seemed to have been poisoned and was in danger of death. When he was being chased, he was saved by Qin Ningyue, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
Yes or no……
Is there a clue that something went wrong here?
"explain."
Chu Yan squeezed out a word from between his lips, his eyes coldly falling on Qin Ningyue's face, and then he heard her say, "Your Highness, should you know that I saved Prince Yu four years ago?"
Chu Yan had stood up without him knowing when, with his hands clenched into fists behind his back.
He didn't respond and waited for Qin Ningyue to continue.
"I saved Prince Yu's life, which is why I received his favor and the marriage contract. But does Prince Yu know what that so-called life-saving grace is?"
Qin Ningyue asked with a sneer, and when you listened carefully, you could see that there was a hint of self-mockery in her tone.
Chu Yan's forehead was twitching violently, and his eyes were getting darker and darker, as if a snowstorm was gathering. He was silent, but the aura and murderous intent around him were getting colder and colder.
Qin Ningyue was a little frightened, but she also knew that if she didn't tell the secret completely, she would die without a burial place.
"I am innocent."
Finally, she uttered four words.
In a flash, the storm in Chu Yan's eyes finally roared out. These four words really pricked his nerves.
"Speak clearly!"
He suddenly attacked and grabbed Qin Ningyue's neck, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost destroyed her.
Qin Ningyue's face flushed crimson, but she raised the corners of her lips and spoke with difficulty, "It's Qingyue's innocence!"
Bang!
The moment the words fell, Qin Ningyue was suddenly thrown out. There was terrifying murderous intent in Chu Yan's eyes, and he looked at her with boundless cruelty.
“Cough cough cough…”
Qin Ningyue choked and coughed, her face pale. She seemed to have sensed the breath of death just now. When she said those words just now, she deeply felt that at that moment, Chu Yan was going to break her neck directly. Because she had not yet completely told the truth, he restrained himself and threw her out.
Chu Yan walked up to Qin Ningyue step by step. His eyes were cold without a trace of warmth, only the icy coldness of ice and snow. "Keep talking!"
The suppressed pain and anger made Qin Ningyue, whose internal organs seemed to have shifted, feel a sense of relief!
Does it hurt?
It’s okay to hurt!
She is in pain too, every moment!
So she gritted her teeth and continued to speak, finally saying out the secret hidden deep in her heart word by word.
"Four years ago, Feng Ling was poisoned by love and lost her mind. She was being pursued, and by some strange coincidence, she escaped to a teahouse, where she met a drunk Qing Yue... and they made love all night long...!"
As Qin Ningyue finished speaking, Chu Yan's eyes turned blood redder with every word, and the murderous intent and hatred in his eyes were almost overwhelming.
"Prince You, it was Feng Ling who defiled Qing Yue back then!"
Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth.
"Qin Ningyue, do you have evidence for what you said? Do you think I will believe you..."
"have!"
Before Chu Yan could finish, Qin Ningyue interrupted him and said, "It's a purple glazed jade pendant with the word 'moon' carved on it. It was accidentally left behind by that woman back then. Feng Ling found me with this jade pendant, and I... admitted it!"
