Chapter 3134 How did I deal with those poisons?
Her teeth were very white, but when she smiled, she looked more like a skeleton. "Let me settle a score with you?"
Hearing her words, Zhu Chengjin's face slowly darkened, and a ferocious sneer appeared on his already distorted face. He looked at Qingting over and over again, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
“…”
"How could I have overlooked you?"
“…”
"That night, I was unable to reach Lezhizhai in time before the military advisor died. Wasn't it because of you?"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Although he controlled the entire situation during these days, and even guessed the three strategies that Xu Shizong would give to Zhu Chengjin in the three tips left by him before his death, many details could only be left to Nan Yan to complete.
He knew nothing about what was going on in the harem of the Jinling Imperial Palace, especially what happened in Zhu Chengjin's bed.
So, he appeared on the boat, and everyone was under his control, except for this girl who looked thin and haggard, with a heavy air of death all over her. He was a little surprised and didn't know what she had done.
Nan Yan couldn't help but say, "Dragonfly!"
Qingting didn't turn around, nor did she respond to her. Instead, she stared at Zhu Chengjin with her eyes fixed on him, as if they were hooked. She sneered and said, "It's too late to find out now."
Zhu Chengjin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her, then looked at Nan Yan, gritted his teeth and said, "You two are in the same group!"
Nan Yan was speechless.
To be honest, they were indeed in the same group, but Nan Yan only found out about Qingting joining the group after she made up her mind and climbed into Zhu Chengjin's bed on her own initiative.
At that time, everything was a foregone conclusion.
That's why, after returning to Yiku Palace, seeing the marks on Qingting's body and knowing that it was Qingting who served Zhu Chengjin in Jiaotai Palace that night, Nan Yan said to her: You chose this path yourself, and since you have chosen it, you have to walk it yourself.
The road of revenge often ends up hurting others and yourself.
She saved Dragonfly not because she wanted her revenge.
But this girl stubbornly chose this path.
Speaking of which, Nan Yan was not completely surprised by this matter. When she learned about it - no, it should be said that when Qingting decided to do these things, she already had a vague feeling.
She knew what Dragonfly wanted to do.
For a girl who was originally raised in seclusion, the biggest storm in her life was probably finding a worm in a fruit. She should have been raised by her parents, married at an appropriate age, and lived a happy and peaceful life. However, Zhu Chengjin's ambition, his cruelty, and his disregard for the lives of ordinary people ruined this girl's life.
Her family was destroyed and she lost everything.
If she was just a cowardly girl who went with the flow, it would be fine, but under Qingting's seemingly soft surface, she had a strong, even tough heart. She was unwilling to live in disgrace by Nan Yan's side. To her, life was important, but there were some things that were more important than life.
For example, revenge!
However, revenge is not something that can be achieved just by thinking about it.
As a weak and helpless person like her, she is not like Nan Yan, who has experienced many ups and downs by Zhu Feng's side and knows how to maneuver in front of the enemy, or even use her own wisdom and human weaknesses to make plans. Even if she wants to, God has not given her time to learn these things.
Therefore, Qingting would sigh countless times that she was not as good as Nanyan.
As a girl who is almost twenty years old and would never step out of her boudoir unless she encountered a major change, she couldn't do those things.
The only thing she can do is what a woman can do.
The only thing I can use is my identity as a woman.
So, she climbed onto Zhu Chengjin's bed, and all this was just to delay Zhu Chengjin's rush to Lezhizhai on the night of Xu Shizong's death, so that he would not be able to figure out the correct order of the three strategies given by Xu Shizong.
With her procrastination, Ye Zheng's arrangements in Lezhizhai, Tingfu's skills, and Nanyan's tactics.
All of this is indispensable.
This is how Zhu Chengjin fell into their trap.
But at this moment, Qingting's face didn't show any pleasure of revenge. On the contrary, the gloomy look on her face became heavier and heavier. She stared at Zhu Chengjin and said slowly and leisurely, "Do you think that what I did was just to prevent you from getting to Lezhizhai in time before Xu Shizong died?"
“……?!”
When these words were spoken, not only Zhu Chengjin, but even Nan Yan was shocked.
Now, everyone on the ship knew why she climbed into Zhu Chengjin's bed, and this was the most important thing she could do.
But what did she mean by this? Besides this, what else did she do?
Nan Yan also stared at her pale face, and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, her whole body trembled, and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke again.
She said, "Dragonfly."
“…”
The dragonfly didn't look back.
Nan Yan was still staring at her thin back. At this moment, she could feel more and more that Qingting was emaciated, like a dying flower, which could be blown away by even a strong gust of wind.
Nan Yan trembled and said, "You, what did you do?"
“…”
"What did you do after you took my clothes?"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng also frowned.
He seemed to have sensed something as well, and looked at the little girl solemnly. Only then did Qingting slowly turn around, glance at Nan Yan, then glance at Zhu Feng, who stood before her like a mountain, and said with a smile, "The Imperial Concubine said that it was His Majesty the Emperor who saved you, so he is not only your lover, but also your benefactor."
“…”
"I'm so envious."
“…”
"But I don't have the same good fortune as the queen. I don't have a lover. My only benefactor is you, the queen."
“…”
"My life was saved by you, the Imperial Concubine. All I can do is return your life and prevent anyone from harming you."
“…”
"Even if our plan fails today, even if His Majesty the Emperor cannot come to rescue the Empress, even if this beast in human form succeeds, I will kill him and leave him no chance to harm you, the Empress."
After saying that, she turned around with a smile and looked at Zhu Chengjin.
"Do you think I'm just stalling for time so you can't get to Lezhizhai?"
“…”
"You've killed so many people and destroyed my family. It's not that simple."
“…”
"Didn't you ask me to take away all of the concubine's clothes and dispose of those deadly poisons? Do you know how I dealt with those poisons?"
