(Thanks to reader 20201204095440035 for casting a monthly vote.)
Liu Tan's sudden and pointed accusation was like the sharpest knife, instantly shattering Jiang Huijun's composure.
Her body trembled violently, and her face turned pale instantly, not from fear, but from the immense injustice and anger in her heart!
Jiang Huijun's expression suddenly changed from anger in an instant;
At that moment, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she burst out laughing.
Poisoning?
I poisoned you?
Ha ha ha ha......"
Jiang Huijun seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous; the smile on her face was very genuine.
However, her laughter sounded dry and desolate to listeners.
After laughing for a few minutes, Jiang Huijun's expression changed again.
She stared at Liu Tan in disbelief, her voice becoming even shrill with excitement: "Liu Tan! You're crazy!"
You actually doubt me?
I am your wife of many years!
Liu Tan sneered, his laughter filled with resentment and sarcasm, "What a wife you've known since childhood!"
Jiang Huijun, don't think I don't know what you're up to!
Your Jiang family has long since fallen into ruin. You only managed to retain your status as a princess because of me!
You're scared!
You're afraid that I'll depose the eldest son and install the younger one in the future?
You're afraid your son won't be able to hold onto his position as heir apparent!
That's why you resorted to such insidious methods, hoping to eliminate me without anyone noticing!
Yes or no! "
"no!
Liu Tan, you actually suspect that I poisoned you!
Haha... What a huge joke!
If I, Jiang Huijun, wanted you dead, why would I need to use poison?
Why wait until today!
Jiang Huijun trembled with rage, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Liu Tan! You...you're spouting nonsense!"
It has been over twenty years since I, Jiang Huijun, married you!
I took care of your backyard and bore your children, and I never had the slightest thought of overstepping my bounds!
How could you possibly assume such a thing about me?
Liu Tan! Have you lost your conscience?!
Liu Tan's words were like poisoned daggers, each one stabbing deeply into Jiang Huijun's heart.
All her sacrifices and forbearance became a joke at this moment.
In her extreme anger and sadness, Jiang Huijun calmed down, and a sense of recklessness and despair welled up in her heart.
Jiang Huijun suddenly took a step forward, her neck almost touching the tip of the knife. Her action startled Liu Tan, who instinctively pulled his wrist back.
Jiang Huijun stared wide-eyed at Liu Tan, her eyes filled with resentment that had been building up for years!
She straightened her back, stared coldly at Liu Tan, and asked, word by word, "Liu Tan!"
Twenty years ago, on our wedding night, under the red candles, what did you say to me while holding my hand?
Do you still remember?
Liu Tan was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in his cloudy eyes. He hadn't expected Jiang Huijun to ask such a question at this moment.
But as Jiang Huijun asked her questions, some blurry fragments flashed through his mind—red candles flickering, a beautiful woman like jade;
At that time, he had just gained the support of the Jiang family and was full of vigor in the Xuanjia Army... But Liu Tan had long forgotten the specific oaths or promises!
Those words, those memories, and even those emotions had long been blurred and eroded by years of power struggles and being surrounded by beautiful women.
Seeing the flicker in Liu Tan's eyes, Jiang Huijun immediately understood what was going on.
The last glimmer of light in Jiang Huijun's eyes went out, leaving only endless sorrow and irony.
"You've forgotten! You've long forgotten!"
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, but Jiang Huijun forcibly held them back.
However, her voice was already trembling with sobs.
Jiang Huijun didn't need Liu Tan's answer. She spoke to Liu Tan in a calm, even somewhat frightening tone, and said slowly, "Say it, Liu Tan, you will never betray me, Jiang Huijun, in this life!"
You said you would surely bring me glory in the future! And share in my wealth and honor!
You said you would live a life of mutual respect and harmony with me, until we grow old together!
Jiang Huijun's voice suddenly rose, filled with deep-seated hatred: "However, what did you do afterward?"
My father and brothers served you, Liu Tan, with utmost loyalty and dedication.
When you needed troops the most, my Chiang family contributed most of our resources to support you!
Liu Tan, twenty years, only twenty years!
What did you do?
He just became the Prince of Zhenbei!
Don't you remember all the things that I, Jiang Huijun, and my Jiang family did for you?
You keep taking concubines one after another. Which of those vixens in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion doesn't want to climb over my head?
The amount of pampering you gave them is the amount of humiliation you gave me!
Liu Hong, our son, have you ever truly taught him?
You're wary of him, suspicious of him, and don't even care as much about your illegitimate children!
Liu Tan was struck by Jiang Huijun's series of loud questions!
In particular, when Jiang Huijun mentioned the Jiang family and her father and brothers, a hint of unease flashed across his face, but it was quickly masked by the even greater anger in his heart.
"Jiang Huijun, stop making trouble!"
What does the past have to do with poisoning today?
I only ask you, did you poison this?"
"It has nothing to do with me!"
Jiang Huijun said resolutely.
"I, Jiang Huijun, have always been bold and responsible in my actions!"
If I did it, I will admit it now!
This will give you a quick death and save me from endless torment in this living coffin-like palace!
But I've never done it!
I've never done it before!
Liu Tan, don't even think about trying to pin this mud on me!
Looking at Liu Tan's sunken eyes due to poisoning, Jiang Huijun's tone instantly became harsh and indignant: "Liu Tan, open your eyes and look at yourself!"
Look where this is!
You are so suspicious now, indiscriminately killing innocent people in the palace, and you don't even trust the people closest to you!
Is this really caused by poisoning?
Or is this your retribution from heaven for the many bad things you've done?
I predict your fate will be to be abandoned by everyone!
Now, you've taken this knife, intending to kill me, so what?
Jiang Huijun stretched out her finger and gently pushed the long knife that Liu Tan was holding to her neck aside. "If I were you, I should think about it carefully."
Who on earth would be happiest to see you become this inhuman, ghostly state?
Who could poison you without leaving a trace, even with such strict guards around you?
Instead of being like you now, blinded by poison!
Here, holding a knife, he points it at his wife who bore him children and stood by him through the most difficult years!
"My wife of many years?"
Liu Tan was deeply stung by the word Jiang Huijun uttered again.
