The sudden question made Yan Li's heart skip a beat. She closed her eyes slightly, kept her breathing at the same frequency, and tried to pretend to be asleep to avoid the question.
A hint of darkness flashed across Wen Yichu's eyes, but seeing that Yan Li did not react, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Pretending to be asleep again.
The events of the past few days have been both normal and strange, as if someone has been pushing us forward, yet everything has happened naturally, rather than through deliberate calculation.
It seems this person had been planning this for a long time.
However, all of this happened too smoothly, especially in this embezzlement case, where he easily extracted information about the person behind Shen Qingzhi.
This is unreasonable.
Wen Yichu remembered that night when he was drugged, Yan Jingzhi told him that she was actually a transmigrator.
Therefore, she knew things they didn't, and even concluded that his position as crown prince would be revoked.
It would take him another six months to find a breakthrough in this embezzlement case.
She said she would help him remove obstacles, but every word she uttered mentioned the benefits she wanted, and she even tried to use this to blackmail him into breaking off his engagement with Ali.
That's absolutely out of the ordinary.
He hates threats the most, so he naturally treated her words as 'crazy talk'.
Strangely, not long after, Yan Baihui suddenly discovered the truth about Su Xiaoman's scheme against him because of a single sentence, and also learned that Yan Jingzhi was not his daughter.
An old story was thus easily unearthed.
Today, the same thing happened again. Yan Bai found a breakthrough for Shen Qingzhi, and it was all because of a single sentence.
At this point, Wen Yichu was certain that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Even if Yan Baihui could think of it immediately, it would be impossible to find the cenotaph and the coroner who collected the body in a short period of time.
After all, Shen Qingzhi's hometown is quite a distance from here, and it would take at least a month to travel back and forth by fast horse.
But why keep it from him?
Why can't we tell him?
Ah Li, what secrets do you still have that you can't tell him?
In the quiet night, the two lying in bed seemed to have nothing left but each other, but Wen Yichu felt that she was still a long way from Yan Li's heart.
It's like an uncrossable Milky Way.
Although Yan Li had mentioned their marriage countless times, Wen Yichu had a feeling that he would eventually lose her.
This is something he absolutely cannot allow.
"Ah Li, after you get rid of her, who will be your next target?"
Seeing that Yan Li did not respond for a long time, Wen Yichu's fingertips traced Yan Li's eyebrows and eyes, as if whispering:
"The owner of that bookstore?"
When Wen Yichu mentioned this person, her tone became more murderous, "Perhaps I can help you kill them."
Since his Ah Li has already helped him, he should repay her in some way.
After all, this was a collaboration that the two had already agreed upon beforehand.
"Why does Your Highness believe that I want to eliminate them?"
"Didn't I already explain this to His Highness?"
Upon hearing that the two men were to be killed, Yan Li instantly snapped out of her daze. She immediately grabbed Wen Yichu's hand, stopping his advances, and asked him, puzzled.
Yan Li had no idea that her foresight had led to Wen Yichu's suspicions.
"Because we are the same kind of people."
Wen Yichu smiled, looking at Yan Li in front of him, and took her hand in his, feeling its unique softness:
“Ah Li, you may not know, but I can sense it every time you scheme against them, every single time.”
Even realizing something too late counts, right?
Ah Li is really amazing; she can do so many things behind his back. If he doesn't put on an act, he probably won't be able to fool her.
Yan Li, after receiving the explanation, indeed felt a chill run down her spine.
She disliked this frankness at all; it gave her a sense of destiny that once everything was said, she too would have to go to the afterlife.
At this moment, Wen Yichu was playing with Yan Li's finger bones, holding her tightly in her arms, while stroking the top of her head with her other hand, showing no intention of stopping.
"Actually, she's not the real Miss Yan, is she?"
Wen Yichu never stops until he makes a startling remark.
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat at those words, and her hands, hidden under the covers, clenched into fists in nervousness.
After a long while, she seemed shocked by Wen Yichu's words and replied:
"Your Highness must be confused. She is my second sister. How could I not recognize her?"
How could Yan Li possibly admit that there was another soul inside Yan Jingzhi's body? Naturally, she denied it without even thinking.
But she never expected that a fool would enter Yan Jingzhi's body, revealing his identity right from the start and being treated as a madman.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yichu calmly raised her eyes: "Is that so?"
Yan Li nodded quickly, "Of course."
"So, even if the soul changes, Ali will still recognize it, right?"
Seeing that Yan Li had already fallen into her trap, Wen Yichu spoke again.
"I almost forgot, that Yan Er who pushed Ali into the water probably wasn't real either, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Li dared not utter a sound.
If the first one was a coincidence, could the second one be too?
How exactly does his brain work?
If the conversation continues, she might lose her identity.
Wen Yichu's emotions were frighteningly stable, and her mind was racing.
But the hand that had been stroking her head suddenly slipped under the covers and grabbed her clenched fist:
