Chapter 1719 What is your purpose?
At this point, she seemed curious as well.
"My Lady, how did you find out?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just sat on the couch, quietly looking at Xue Ling's calm appearance, then raised her right hand.
A thick layer of gauze was wrapped around the base of the thumb.
When Xue Ling saw the gauze on her hand, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what was going on. Just as he was about to ask something, suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes.
Then he looked down at his hands.
There is also a crack on the tiger's mouth, but this wound is old and has scabbed over.
She said, "You——"
Nan Yan said calmly, "You must have thought that the crossbow had been dismantled by Houkai and thrown into the firewood pile in the kitchen, so you could rest easy."
Xue Ling's eyes flickered rapidly.
"Did you find out?"
"That day, when Ran Xiaoyu set fire to the kitchen, someone dug out some charred wood from the rubble."
"That's not all—"
"Yes, it's burnt," Nan Yan said calmly, "but you probably didn't expect that someone in the army could recreate a crossbow from a burnt piece of wood."
“…”
"Even the bow arm, which was specially designed to reduce impact force, has been reproduced."
For the first time, Xue Ling showed a look of astonishment on his face.
This was obviously something she had not expected.
Nan Yan said, "Originally, after we found the crossbow from the ashes in the kitchen, we all suspected Li Lai. After all, it's impossible for an ordinary woman to injure someone with a crossbow."
“…”
"However, when this crossbow was copied and I saw it, I changed my mind."
“…”
"That crossbow was specially made of white pine wood, and it also has a bow arm."
“…”
"It's so that women can use it too."
“…”
"not to mention--"
Nan Yan reached out and touched the wound on her knuckles. Then, looking at Xue Ling's hand, she sneered, "Anyone who uses that crossbow will definitely leave this wound on their knuckles. I haven't examined Li Lai's hand closely, but I remember it. The first time I saw you in Ye Zheng's room, when you brought me medicine, there was a wound on your knuckles."
“…”
Xue Ling took a deep breath.
After a while, he let out a long sigh, as if he was convinced by this, and smiled faintly.
"I didn't expect that such a small wound would betray me."
Nan Yan looked at her calmly.
The wind outside the door was cold, and Nan Yan's eyes were as cold as ice.
She sneered, "You, can be considered to have planned it carefully."
“…”
"He deliberately hid among the captives of the Sand Bandits, and took advantage of Ye Zheng's attack on Hot Moon Bay to follow them into Shazhou Guard. Then, he waited for an opportunity to shoot him. The arrow was laced with a poison designed to render him unconscious, but difficult to detect."
“…”
"What is your purpose?"
“…”
Xue Ling did not speak immediately, but looked at Nan Yan quietly.
After a long while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Why do you ask me such a question, Your Majesty?"
“…”
"Don't you know what we are going to do?"
Nan Yan frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Madam, aren't you waiting for me tonight?"
“…”
"Aren't you waiting for someone to come find you?"
