Chapter 57 She Can't Hurt Me

"I don't know." Zhan Yeyuan shook his head.

"No, you know." Nan Jiao's tone was very firm.

Zhan Yeyuan stared at her for a long time, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

Nan Jiao stopped keeping the secret and said, "I know who poisoned me. It was my sister-in-law, right?"

At first, she didn't doubt Feng Qingqing.

Because of several contacts.

She could see that she was genuinely worried about the prince and hoped that she could cure him.

But this poisoning incident is definitely related to her.

"She won't hurt me." Zhan Yeyuan's pale face was filled with a gentle smile, and his tone was very affirmative, indicating that he believed in Feng Qingqing.

"Why does big brother trust big sister-in-law so much?" Nan Jiao asked curiously. She didn't doubt Feng Qingqing for no reason, she said it because she was sure.

"Let me tell you something. Even Bei Heng and Chu Yue don't know this either."

Nan Jiao joked, "Brother, you won't kill me to silence me if I tell you such a secret, right?"

"No." Zhan Yeyuan's mouth twitched.

"You say." Nan Jiao was willing to listen.

"Qingqing and I had a fake marriage. My father insisted that I marry the Crown Princess to cheer him up. I knew I wouldn't live long, so I didn't want to get married and bring trouble to her."

"If I can't find Qingqing later, I will let her get married to me in a fake marriage. When the time comes, I will let her leave the East Palace and live her own life."

"She probably wants me to get better the most so that she can leave the East Palace earlier, so she won't poison me to death."

Zhan Yeyuan spoke slowly, with a tiny gleam in his eyes and a face full of tenderness and gentleness.

Nan Jiao was surprised.

I didn't expect them to be like this.

When she doubted Feng Qingqing, she was also confused in her heart.

After all, she hoped that when the prince recovered from his illness, the expression on his face would not seem fake, so she talked to the prince alone first.

"Brother likes sister-in-law, right?" Nan Jiao said.

"How did you know that?" Zhan Yeyuan did not deny it. It seemed that she was no longer the simple-minded fool she used to be.

"Your eyes always follow her. There are so many noble ladies in the capital, but you chose her to pretend to be the Crown Princess. You want to be with her for the last period of your life."

Nan Jiao shared her observations and guesses.

And the doting that came naturally to him when they were together.

Some things cannot be acted out.

"It seems Beiheng made the right decision to marry you." Zhan Yeyuan suddenly decided that this was his brother's wife. It was a pity that the two of them were getting a divorce, but who knew what would happen in the future.

Nan Jiao smiled and said, "He did not marry the wrong person, but I choose to divorce!"

Zhan Yeyuan: “…”

He could only sympathize with his brother silently in his heart.

"Although my brother believes in my sister-in-law, I still insist that you were poisoned because of her. Maybe she was used by someone." Nan Jiao touched her chin thoughtfully.

Maybe Feng Qingqing herself didn't know that she was poisoned.

"I agree more with your statement. I still believe that Qingqing would not poison me on purpose." Zhan Yeyuan said decisively.

They are childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

No one knew what kind of person she was better than him.

Nan Jiao knew what to do. "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, brother. I won't hurt your sister-in-law."

"Thank you." Zhan Yeyuan said gratefully.

"You must be more careful when you meet anyone in the future. After all, this time the other party wanted you dead. Fortunately, I got the poison from Zhan Youhuai to help you detoxify."

Nan Jiao said solemnly that she didn't want to help him detoxify again after just detoxifying him.

After all, she had other things to do.

Zhan Yeyuan's face turned a bit colder. In the morning, he heard Mo Lan say that there was no poison in the city or outside the city.

The first people he suspected were the Queen and Prince Rui.

But there are more people who want him dead than just them and his son.

"I heard that Youyou's mother showed up and is now living in Prince Jin's Palace. What do you think?" Zhan Yeyuan put away the coldness on his face and asked with a smile.

"I think so. I can give up the position of Princess Jin at any time." Nan Jiao said generously and magnanimously.

Zhan Yeyuan: “…”

She was probably the first one to give up on Bei Heng.

…

Outside the bedroom.

Zhan Beiheng walked back and forth, glancing at the palace gate from time to time. Why didn't she come out for so long?

Just when he couldn't help but rush in, Nan Jiao came out.

"What did you say to big brother?" Zhan Beiheng asked with a sullen face.

"My eldest brother told me a secret that neither you nor the Seventh Princess know. Do you want to know? I won't tell you." Nan Jiao smiled with a face that looked like she deserved a beating.

Zhan Beiheng: “…”

"I'm going to find out who poisoned me. Don't disturb me." Nan Jiao said and left.

Zhan Beiheng held her back and asked, "Do you know who poisoned me?"

Nan Jiao nodded, "Yes, but I can't tell you now."

"She's my sister-in-law, right?" A sharp cold light flashed in Zhan Beiheng's eyes.

Now it was Nan Jiao's turn to be surprised.

How did he know?

"It seems that my guess was correct." Zhan Beiheng let go of her hand with a complicated expression.

"Why do you think it was her?" Nan Jiao became interested.

Zhan Beiheng said coldly: "Yesterday you said it was someone from outside the palace, but the Shadow Guards here can't possibly send someone to sneak in and poison you, so it must be someone from the East Palace."

"I have interrogated the palace maids and eunuchs, and none of them are suspicious. The only person I haven't interrogated is my eldest sister-in-law, and she is the only one who can get close to my eldest brother."

He would suspect it was her.

"Master Wang is really smart. I'm going to look for my sister-in-law now, but you firmly believe in her. Wait for my news." Nan Jiao said and left quickly.

Zhan Beiheng: “…”

Nan Jiao found Feng Qingqing in the kitchen of the East Palace. She was making soup herself, so she didn't go in directly, but stood outside.

"Crown Princess, please let me do it." Hongyu was afraid that she would hurt her hands. After all, the young lady had never been to the kitchen in the Grand Tutor's Mansion before.

"I can do it. I will definitely succeed today." Feng Qingqing said very confidently. The prince finally woke up, and she wanted to make soup for him personally.

Hongyu was very upset and it was difficult to strike her down.

After all, she tried several times, and was confident every time, but in the end she couldn't get it to enter.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a good cook. I'll teach you." Nan Jiao walked in with a smile on her face. Her movements were clumsy and it was obvious that she didn't know how to cook.

But she still wanted to make soup for her elder brother, and her intention didn't seem fake.

"Nan Jiao, you have met the prince, is he okay?" Feng Qingqing quickly put down the food in his hand and walked towards her happily.

Mr. Bai checked His Highness this morning and said that everything was fine.

But now she trusts Nan Jiao more.

"The poison has been resolved, but you need to rest well recently and avoid overwork." Nan Jiao said calmly.

"Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on him." Feng said gently and seriously.

Later.

Nan Jiao taught Feng how to gently cook the soup. After putting all the ingredients into the clay pot, she asked Hong Yu to watch the fire and simmer it slowly. Then the two of them left the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, I have a few questions for you." Nan Jiao looked at the woman seriously.
