Situ Yao didn't speak for a while, and Su Mengyan didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was quiet and depressing. Su Mengyan wanted to rush out of the window. The man's silence was more terrifying than his speech.
Sweat slid into her eyes, and she was about to raise her hand to wipe it away when Situ Yao suddenly grabbed her neck.
Su Mengyan was horrified: "Your Highness, please spare my life!"
"Who are you?"
Su Mengyan was stunned, her heart almost beating out of her throat, and she was terrified: "Your Highness, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Situ Yao said coldly, "The real Su Mengyan is just a weakling, good-for-nothing except her good looks. Not only can you read, but your understanding of the court situation far exceeds that of a concubine in the harem. Tell me, who are you?"
"I... I am Su Mengyan, Your Highness, please believe me!" Su Mengyan's eyes were sincere, and she wished she could take out her heart to prove herself.
But Situ Yao didn't believe her, and even reached out to rub her cheeks, but he didn't find any flaws. This face was real.
Are there two people in this world who look so similar but have completely different personalities?
Seeing that breathing was becoming more and more difficult, Su Mengyan struggled anxiously. She didn't want to die.
The instinct for survival made her scream: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Only then did Situ Yao let her go, slowly straightened his sleeves, and returned to his previous indifference.
Su Mengyan covered her neck and huddled in the corner, looking at the terrifying man. "Your Highness, to be honest, I've had some very strange dreams lately."
"Dream?"
The suspicion in Situ Yao's eyes frightened Su Mengyan. She swallowed and said, "In my dream, I saw someone. She told me that I was about to face a disaster. If I wanted to survive, I had to seek refuge with Your Highness. Only I can help you, and only you can save me."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, still not believing it.
Su Mengyan continued, "She also said that my brother had received money from Concubine Bai and would come to me and ask me to poison you. I didn't believe it at first, but when I opened my eyes, my brother really came."
"Later, I dreamed that she told me that Concubine Bai would attack the Fifth Princess, and asked me to protect the princess at all costs. Otherwise, I would not leave the house, so how could I know about the envoy's affairs?"
The secret guards sent by Situ Yao investigated and found that apart from the Bai family's murderer Su Mengyan poisoning herself, she had not had any contact with anyone in recent days.
But this kind of talk is really too unbelievable.
Seeing that Situ Yao was still skeptical, Su Mengyan continued, "That was a woman. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, she was wearing a tassel. The pattern on the tassel jade pendant was somewhat unique. It was the pattern of the Buddhist Dharma character."
His pupils suddenly shrank, and his face looked horrified: "Say it again?"
"I can't see her appearance clearly..."
"I was asking about the pattern of her tassel."
"Buddhist Dharma text." Su Mengyan repeated.
"What jade?" Situ Yao asked again.
"Huang Tianyu."
Situ Yao suddenly grabbed Su Mengyan's arm, pulled her to his side, and said through gritted teeth, "You'd better not lie to me."
"I still want to rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to survive, so I dare not hide anything." Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao firmly.
He must be made to believe in himself. As long as he believes in himself today, he will be safe in the future.
Because the person she was talking about was the late queen.
