Chapter 440 I Stole Her Purse
“I stole her purse, and in the end she bought me a house to shelter me from the wind and left me plenty of silver.”
"It was because of the silver she left behind that I was able to survive in that extremely cold place, use the silver to make more silver, slowly build up my own power, and fight my way back."
After Yan Changfeng finished speaking, he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and continued, "Later, when I was able to do so, I wanted to find her again, the one who saved you from the bottom of the cliff last time."
"It was because I recognized her that I followed you back to the palace."
"Over the years, I have traveled all over the country in order to find her, but by the time I found her, she had already married someone else."
Yan Changfeng added with a sneer, "If I had appeared in front of her earlier, do you think you wouldn't have had a chance?"
Pei Yanchuan looked coldly at Yan Changfeng, "You dare to say it out loud that you covet someone else's wife."
Yan Changfeng smiled, not angry at Pei Yanchuan's words, "I admit, when I first went to the Prince's mansion, I wanted to kill you."
"In this way, I can appear before her as the ruler of the Southern Li Kingdom."
"My involvement is behind the collaboration with Chen Jie and Xiao He, but my ultimate goal is simply to kill you."
"But then I realized that even if I killed you, I might not be able to get her."
Yan Changfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that the order in which people appear in your life is indeed very important, but I clearly knew her before you."
“Ningning and I had our wedding ceremony when we were very young, so... I was the one who knew her first,” Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
Yan Changfeng scoffed coldly, "It doesn't matter anymore. She's already dead. Neither of us can have her."
"If you've finished speaking, then take me to see Ningning." He had never believed Yan Changfeng's words in the first place; how could Ningning be dead?
“I know you don’t believe me.” Yan Changfeng stood up, faced the window and pointed outside, “There’s a cenotaph over there, that’s hers.”
“This restaurant is mine, and I often sit here quietly and watch her.”
“She longed to live in seclusion before she died, so I specially chose that place for her.”
Pei Yanchuan didn't listen to Yan Changfeng continue, turned around and left, walking in the direction Yan Changfeng pointed.
"Your Majesty, are we just going to let him go like this?" After Pei Yanchuan went out, a guard walked in through the door.
Yan Changfeng stood by the window with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Let him go. He'll definitely dig up the grave, open the coffin, and see if Ningning is inside."
"Only by letting him see it will he give up."
"Wouldn't that give us away?" the guard said.
The grave didn't contain Jiang Wan Ning at all, but rather a randomly chosen death row inmate of similar build.
"He was thrown off a cliff, completely unrecognizable, and he had no choice but to believe it."
"I still don't understand why we didn't just kill him to prevent future troubles."
"He is now the regent of Dongling. The Empress of Western Xia has a close relationship with Dongling. We in Nanli are not qualified to mess with him."
Yan Changfeng said, "As long as he believes that Ningning is really dead, that will be enough."
"I used to want to kill him because only by killing him could I have a chance to be with Ningning. Now that Ningning has fallen off a cliff and lost her memory, I will fabricate everything she wants to know about the past for her."
“She will be the Queen of Nanli from now on.”
"They are from Nanli, not from Dongling."
He deliberately hung white cloth and white lanterns in the palace because he knew that the heavy wooden bird could fly over the sky.
Intentionally sending Pei Yanchuan the wrong message
The corpse in the cenotaph was wearing the same clothes as Ningning on the day of her accident, and a small, intact spot was deliberately left on its face, where a mole identical to Jiang Wan Ning's was placed.
"Pei Yanchuan, Ningning belonged to you for the first half of my life. From now on, every day she will belong to me. She will be my queen."
"Your Majesty, the one in the palace has woken up and is demanding to see you, refusing to eat or drink."
Upon hearing that Jiang Wan Ning had woken up, Yan Changfeng immediately turned and headed towards the palace.
During this period of time,
Besides amnesia, Jiang Wan Ning is also more sleepy than before, and her temper has become somewhat strange.
Yan Changfeng rushed to Jiang Wan Ning's Yongle Palace without stopping.
As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang Wan Ning pacing back and forth in agitation.
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Yan Changfeng stepped forward with concern.
When Jiang Wan Ning saw Yan Chang Feng, her anxiety subsided slightly. "I always feel that everything here is unfamiliar."
"Except for you."
Jiang Wan Ning rubbed her temples. "I always feel like I don't belong here. Everything here makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Yan Changfeng pulled her into his arms, but for some reason Jiang Wanning resisted.
But when she thought of him saying that he was her queen, she did not break free, perhaps because she was ill.
“Your health is weak, and you fell and hit your head a few days ago, which caused your amnesia. But don’t worry, I will tell you about our past little by little in the future.”
"With me here, you will never forget the past."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded.
Just then, a palace maid brought over chicken soup, and Yan Changfeng took the soup and personally fed it to Jiang Wanning.
Jiang Wan Ning had just leaned closer to drink it when
Suddenly, I felt nauseous and covered my nose and mouth, backing away. "Why does this taste so weird?"
The young palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Yan Changfeng brought the bowl closer to his nose and smelled it; the chicken soup was good.
"Go and fetch the female physician to examine the Queen," Yan Changfeng ordered.
"yes."
The female doctor was quickly brought in, and Jiang Wan Ning lay obediently on the bed waiting for the female doctor to take her pulse.
After losing her memory, she even forgot that she knew medicine, but her mind inexplicably had a clear memory of the effects of certain medicinal herbs and prescriptions.
However, Yan Changfeng said he had never practiced medicine.
"How is the Queen?" Yan Changfeng asked anxiously.
The female doctor withdrew her hand and quickly knelt on the ground, "Reporting to the King... Queen... the Queen, she..."
"Speak quickly," Yan Changfeng said anxiously.
Seeing the female doctor hesitate, he felt even more annoyed, and his voice carried a hint of irritation and impatience.
The female doctor was so frightened that she quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen...she is already two months pregnant."
Jiang Wan Ning stood up in surprise, "What did you say? I'm pregnant?"
The female doctor glanced at Yan Changfeng and nodded gently, "That's true."
Jiang Wan Ning was overjoyed and turned to look at Yan Chang Feng, "Aren't you happy?"
Yan Changfeng's lips curled up slightly. "I'm happy, I'm very happy. I'm just a little stunned because I was so happy to hear the news."
"You should rest well first. I will have someone cook some light porridge for you."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded and watched Yan Chang Feng walk out. For some reason, she felt that everyone here seemed to be afraid when they heard the news that she was pregnant, except for her.
Yan Changfeng didn't seem genuinely happy; were they afraid of him?
