Chapter 3011 Suspecting That Person
Zhu Chengjin's face darkened.
Before he could say anything, Nan Yan continued, "Thinking of this, I have also figured out Feng Shu's death."
"Her death, what happened?"
"Before I went to question her about this matter, she had already been banished to the cold palace and had been insane for a long time. For such a long time, she did not commit suicide and even hoped to see the emperor again. Why did she suddenly die after I went to question her?"
"Didn't you say she committed suicide by hanging?"
"Yes, why did you hang yourself?"
“…”
"This matter has no bearing on her interests. She simply knows a truth that seems ordinary but is extremely important to me."
“…”
"She had no reason to commit suicide. The only possibility is that someone killed her before she could tell me the truth, making it look like she had hanged herself. At the same time, they added a few more lines to the handkerchief she was counting on, completely fabricating the 'truth': my father, the former Marquis of Bowang, was murdered by someone sent by Emperor Gao, and it was the current Emperor who betrayed his whereabouts!"
When she spoke the last few words, her voice became deeper, as if hammering down on people's hearts.
Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Nan Yan continued, "Now, do you want me to continue?"
“…”
"Whoever this man-made 'truth' benefits is helping to cover up his lies, in order to gain my trust and make me a knife you planted beside the Emperor. At the right time, with just one deceptive word from you, this knife will be plunged into the Emperor's heart!"
“…”
Zhu Chengjin was silent for a long time, finally sighed softly, and then laughed.
He chuckled, looked at Nan Yan, and said, "It seems that I really underestimated you."
“…”
"Indeed, when I faked my own death and left the Imperial City, you were just an ordinary concubine in the harem. I had no idea that the woman who would sit on my bed that night would be such an intelligent woman."
“…”
"If I had known earlier,"
As he spoke, he looked at Nan Yan with a frivolous look and said, "That night, I will definitely take you away."
Nan Yan also sneered: "That's not necessary."
“…”
"If I'm not mistaken, even if I had gone with you that night, I'd probably be either dead or mad now."
“…”
"The happiness of the rest of my life does not depend on you, but on him, and in my own hands!"
Zhu Chengjin was not angry at all.
Instead, he looked at Nan Yan with interest and said with a smile, "Since you already know the truth of all this, then there is another truth, do you know it?"
“…”
"Or rather, have you guessed it?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan, who had originally had more than enough control over everything, unexpectedly frowned.
Even at this moment, her originally determined gaze flickered.
Breathing also became hesitant.
Upon seeing her like this, Zhu Chengjin immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed very intelligent. As soon as I asked, you already knew what I was going to say. Or, in fact, without waiting for me to ask, you have always been suspicious of this matter and that person?"
