“He told you the truth, and I never supported him from the beginning, and I still don’t now.” Hua Ling was unusually serious. “When I saved him back then, he didn’t have many people he could rely on.”
“Even if he trusted you before, he became untrustworthy then, but he has been completely open with you since you arrived not long ago.”
Su Wenyuan raised her hand to interrupt, saying, "No need to beat around the bush. If you want to say how good he is to me, I know it in my heart."
Su Wenyuan never questioned this point, and even if Sheng Jingyu hadn't been honest, Su Wenyuan wouldn't have questioned it.
Hua Ling smiled and said, "It's good that you know what's going on. Then I'd like to ask a question..."
Hua Ling paused, and Su Wenyuan tensed up, afraid that Hua Ling would ask her why she made Sheng Jingyu move out.
If you ask her that, she really has no way of answering.
"Why did you deliberately get injured yesterday?" Hua Ling asked, voicing her doubts.
He asked Sheng Jingyu about this, and the answer he received was because of rumors circulating outside.
Hua Ling wanted to hear what Su Wenyuan had to say, lest Sheng Jingyu was just imagining things and getting all emotional.
Hearing that this was all he wanted to ask, Su Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It wasn't intentional injury, I just wanted to put on a show, but I overestimated Jinkouhe." Su Wenyuan is still furious when she brings it up now.
Hua Ling was not satisfied with this vague answer.
"Is it related to him?" Hua Ling asked more directly.
"No." Su Wenyuan blurted out without thinking.
Actually, yesterday's play had a lot to do with Sheng Jingyu.
As long as Jin Kouhe takes action against Su Wenyuan, he can clear his name of treason without having to explain anything. How wonderful!
However, Su Wenyuan also had her own selfish motives. She wanted to use her injury as an excuse to try and help Marquis Anle again.
Since personal motives were involved, it would be inappropriate to ask her to say it was for Sheng Jingyu's sake.
Hearing her answer so readily, Hua Ling felt awkward and said with difficulty, "You're being too direct. I've already asked you this question, so think about it carefully."
How could he possibly tell Sheng Jingyu such a direct answer? It would only provoke him.
This might help Sheng Jingyu face reality. If he gets emotional and something else happens, it will be troublesome.
"There's nothing to think about. I told him what I wanted to do when I was injured." Su Wenyuan was about to close the door.
Hua Ling quickly asked again, "If he hadn't been accused of colluding with Qi Kong Kingdom, would you still have done this?"
Su Wenyuan replied helplessly, "The things I do are all based on the situation at the time. If the situation changes, I have to re-evaluate the pros and cons, so I don't know."
She closed the door after saying that, but she kept the question in mind.
She wasn't so clear-headed yesterday. After being provoked by Su Yuan, and discovering that Jin Kouhe wanted to kill her, she decided to play along.
In a way, Sheng Jingyu's situation helped her make the final decision.
At that time, Su Wenyuan was going to try one last time, but in reality, she already had the answer in her heart.
This is also why she refused when Sheng Jingyu said he wanted to go see the Emperor again yesterday.
But why did she still decide to play along? It's related to Sheng Jingyu.
She thought that even if the emperor didn't agree, she wouldn't lose out. At least she could clear Sheng Jingyu's name, which would be a win.
If this hadn't happened, she probably wouldn't have risked her life to test an answer she already knew.
"It's over..." Su Wenyuan's heart sank.
Thinking about it carefully, it turns out she did it all for Sheng Jingyu?
This situation was truly unexpected for her.
Hua Ling took the answer to Sheng Jingyu. She wanted to be tactful, but seeing that he was thinking about Su Wenyuan, she thought it would be better to be direct and give him a jolt to bring him back to normal.
"Your princess deliberately injured herself not for you. I asked her, and it has nothing to do with you."
Sheng Jingyu didn't even bother to lift her head, and asked in return, "Is it for you?"
"...Couldn't she have done it for herself?" Hua Ling began to get agitated.
He failed to provoke Sheng Jingyu, but Sheng Jingyu's lack of awareness really irritated him.
Sheng Jingyu replied calmly, "Yes, but could you be more careful when you're preparing the medicine tomorrow?"
Hua Ling was dumbfounded and couldn't understand. Hadn't he explained it clearly enough?
The study was quiet for a while. Hua Ling stopped talking and instead tried to recall the medical books she had read before, wanting to know what kind of illness Sheng Jingyu had.
Suddenly, Hua Ling slapped her forehead and said, "I know, you've been bewitched."
There is no better explanation than this.
Sheng Jingyu helplessly put down what he was holding and said, "You don't know anything. If you have time, go out more often."
The words Hua Ling spoke were spoken by Su Wenyuan herself, and Sheng Jingyu never doubted that.
But if he actually believed it, he would have to sleep in the study for the rest of his life.
Hua Ling is still all alone, which is absolutely deserved.
At this point, both of them believed they were perfectly sober and that the other was the one with the problem...
But no matter what, the atmosphere inside the Prince Chen's residence was still good.
Unlike the post station, which was already in complete chaos.
Jin Kouhe woke up with many wounds on his body, bleeding profusely, but he still had the strength to curse.
"You're all useless! A bunch of useless trash. Once we get back to Qikong Kingdom, none of you will escape. You saw me hanging in the air for so long, and you didn't even know how to rescue people? Where are the people you brought?"
Yuan Hou and his accomplices were in the wrong; they were guilty for causing such serious injury to Jin Kouhe.
Princess Heyi angrily said, "What are you shouting for? Do you know that because of your one action, all our plans have been ruined?"
She was also angry. Empress Yuan had been running to Prince Chen's residence every day, and all her efforts had been wasted.
Jin Kouhe sneered, "Blame me? I'm going back to Qikong Kingdom right now. I'm going to ask the Emperor who's to blame. If you had thought of me even a little bit, would I have taken matters into my own hands?"
Princess Heyi said, "You've been causing trouble from the very beginning. What are you thinking?"
Both of them were injured, their voices were weak and feeble, and even when they shouted, they couldn't make much noise.
Getting emotionally agitated can also aggravate the wound.
Even after all this, they still won't budge an inch, going back and forth, arguing endlessly.
Empress Yuan advised, "The most important thing now is to seek justice here. We cannot let the Crown Prince and Princess get hurt for nothing."
Jin Kouhe looked around and then asked, "Where are my guards?"
He has no one around him he can trust.
Empress Yuan said in a low voice, "He was captured by Prince Chen and hasn't been released yet."
Upon hearing this, Jin Kouhe's face contorted in pain, and he gasped for breath.
It took him a long time to calm down before he roared, "My people! You just arrest them like that? What are you all good for? Before we came, everyone said you were powerful, but what makes you so powerful?"
Empress Yuan wreaked havoc in Qikong Kingdom, impeaching anyone she disliked, and always with seemingly reasonable and well-founded arguments.
Those who argue with him are often led by the nose and end up in a position that benefits him.
However, when she arrived in Anchuan, Empress Yuan was never able to out-argue Su Wenyuan.
It seems they've met their nemesis.
