At the edge of night, there is no sound at all, giving people a sense of silence as if no one is around.
In the tent, Ning Mu looked at the letter in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand gradually bulging, becoming clearly visible. If he waited another three days, he would be able to reach the capital and rescue his sister.
But why did the writer of the letter say that after all his efforts, the person he saved was not his own sister, but a wild ghost that possessed his sister?
How could such a ridiculous thing happen?
But the letter was signed by my sister's personal maid, Xiaoju!
Ning Mu knew about the friendship between Xiaoju and Ajie.
These days, Wu Qi also told himself that the previous letter was written by Xiaoju.
But in this letter, Xiaoju clearly wrote that her elder sister had eaten fish.
When my sister was a child, she choked the first time she ate fish. Since then, fish has become her most hated food.
Ning Mu didn't think that such a small change could prove that his elder sister had become a different person.
Xiaoju also talked about the daily interactions between Ning Wan and Shen Jingyi. Various signs showed that her elder sister had indeed become a different person.
The most important thing is Xiaoju’s last words: Her Royal Highness the Princess should have died of poisoning in prison, but she came back to life in the end. No one in this world can survive after taking a highly toxic substance.
Xiaoju's last sentence revealed too much.
Why was Xiaoju so sure that Sister died in prison? Why did she say that Sister had taken poison? Could it be...
Ning Mu read the entire article again without even blinking. His eyes became extremely sore from not closing them for a long time, and there was a trace of blood in the corners of his eyes.
She actually dared to betray her master!
What on earth did Shen Jingyi give her that allowed her to do such a treacherous thing?
I even had the courage to write this matter in a letter to him.
Wu Qi, who was also reading the letter nearby, murmured as if suddenly enlightened: "No wonder, no wonder, so this is how it is..."
Wu Qi's voice was almost choked with sobs. He covered half of his face with his palm, wiping away the tears that had not yet flowed.
He asked why he couldn't see the familiar love in Ning Wan's eyes, why every move was so similar to her, yet so strange.
It turned out that the owner of that body was no longer her, and he foolishly thought that she was angry with him.
"Your Majesty..." After a long while, Wu was the first to wake up.
He cupped his hands and looked at Ning Mu, "Since we already know that she is not a real princess, can we..."
Wu Qi made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes particularly determined.
"No!" Ning Mu roared subconsciously.
"I don't believe it. I want to see her in person!" Ning Mu couldn't bring himself to kill his own sister. He stared at Wu Qi coldly, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. He could be decisive and resolute in anything, but not in the matter of his sister.
And if what Xiaoju said was true, and my sister really took poison and came back to life, why can't there be any change?
Wu Qi was stunned.
personally?
Wu Qi knew the result without even thinking about it.
It’s just Ning Mu in front of me...
Every day Ning Wan is alive, the Phoenix Hairpin is at greater risk of being discovered.
If Shen Jingyi didn't play this kind of affectionate drama and directly threatened to die, there would be thousands of tortures in the secret prison of the palace. If the wild ghost that occupied Ning Wan's body couldn't stand it and exposed it, then their plan would fail and they would have no chance of recovery.
He risked his life to accompany Ning Mu in this final battle, while Ning Mu was taking a gamble for a wild ghost who had taken possession of his elder sister's body.
Wu Qi secretly clenched his fists, but other thoughts came to his mind.
It was a fact that the wild ghost who occupied Ning Wan's body wanted to marry Shen Jingyi. He didn't believe that she didn't know the relationship between the Ning family and the Shen family. Even a real princess could not forgive her for doing such a thing.
"I understand." Wu Qi said respectfully, but his eyes were extremely vicious as he lowered his head, making it clear that he had decided not to care about Ning Wan's life or death.
Ning Mu, who was in a state of anxiety, did not notice that something was wrong with Wu Qi in time. He thought that the other party also agreed with his point of view, so he felt a little relieved.
But the three expressions between his brows once again proved Ning Mu's mood at the moment.
It was already late at night in the cold palace.
Xiaoju brought in the lit charcoal fire and watched her master pick up the tattered book and read it again, her eyes gradually becoming moist.
It’s all her fault. She’s useless and can’t even find a book, so her master has to hold a book and read it back and forth.
She paused, looked at Ning Wan, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ning Wan also noticed Xiaoju's gaze on her, turned her head and looked at Xiaoju.
Xiaoju knelt on the ground almost instantly, "Xiaoju is confused, please enlighten me, Your Highness!" She thought of the two letters she had sent out, and the one hundred taels of gold and a courtyard that Shen Jingyi gave her.
Xiaoju knocked her head against the cold ground without raising it.
Ning Wan didn't change her movements, still leaning against the bedpost. She spoke lazily, "I'll tell you. Get up."
Although Ning Wan's tone was lazy, it also revealed helplessness.
Xiaoju quickly got up and walked to the bed.
After all, Xiaoju was the one who grew up with the princess. How could she be moved by Shen Jingyi's wealth?
But if she didn't do it, someone would always come to replace her. If that happened, she wouldn't be the first to know about anything that was detrimental to her princess.
Since someone has to be a spy, why can't she be the one who can benefit the princess?
So after getting her first task, she told the princess about it right away.
But Her Royal Highness was very calm and let her send it out. At that time, Xiaoju thought that even if she didn't pass on the information in the letter, it would reach the border sooner or later.
But the second time was completely different from the previous time.
This is clearly pushing the princess into the fire!
Xiaoju wanted to refuse, but the princess firmly asked her to follow Shen Jingyi's arrangements.
"Xiaoju, have you ever thought that the contents of the letter are true?" Ning Wan looked at Xiaoju, who was expecting an explanation from her, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Xiaoju is indeed loyal. Perhaps what makes her so loyal is the original owner who was scared to death in prison, or to be more precise, died of poisoning in prison, rather than her who came to complete the mission.
[Host, the original owner will have her own destination. Death is her ending, but it is not her destiny.]
Xiao Qi knows this emotion too well. Some hosts will feel guilty for taking over the identities of these people, but forget that these are originally a plane of existence, a fictional reality. In the end, because of their excessive desire to make up for the people who were good to the original owner, they get lost in the mission world.
Xiao Qi was afraid that his host would do the same, so he immediately said, "Host, please stay calm and don't forget our purpose."
