Qingli said nothing, pretending not to hear what he said.
After a while, she said the same thing again, "I'm not poisonous, why don't you believe me?"
She softened her tone and spoke in a weak voice.
It was the first time that Nangong Yan heard her speak in such a soft voice, as if she was very aggrieved.
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Qingli looked like she was sad.
Did he really misunderstand?
Nangong Yan suddenly became a little uncertain.
Qingli just said this and didn't say anything else. She leaned against the carriage alone, and her back seemed to become sad.
Nangong Yan hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant, you... don't be sad."
Nangong Yan held his forehead with his hand, not knowing what he was saying.
When Qingli heard his words, her eyes suddenly lit up, but she still lowered her head, hiding her emotions and pretending to be sad.
"You were the only one who came in contact with me that night. If it wasn't you, there really would have been no one else."
Nangong Yan was a little irrational just now, but after thinking about it for a while, he regained his rationality, but his tone became much softer, consciously considering Qingli's emotions.
Qingli was disappointed when she heard this, thinking that he had just given up doubting himself.
I was very happy for nothing.
She started to defend herself, her tone no longer aggressive, and she said softly, "You have no evidence to prove it was me, so you are being very unfair to me. I should apologize for what happened that night, but I had no choice. I cured your leg to compensate you, so why would I poison you? I have no grudge against you, so why would I poison you? I don't even have a motive for committing the crime. Haven't you thought about this carefully?"
Listening to her aggrieved accusation, Nangong Yan was unsure for a moment.
But his sixth sense told him that it was Aori's.
Nangong Yan was only confused by her for a moment, but soon regained his senses.
He said, "You don't have to pretend. In the time we've been together, when have you ever shown weakness like this? Why are you showing weakness like this today? Don't think I'm easy to fool."
Qingli was immediately discouraged.
It’s not easy to fool me. I almost believed it just now. Why did you regain your sanity so quickly?
Being too smart is really bad.
Thinking of Senior Brother Yue, Qingli thought that she could only wait until night to see him.
Even if the effect of the muscle softening powder had not worn off at night, she could still escape with the help of the talisman. These people from Nangong Yan could not trap her at all.
But after a while, Qingli's fantasy was shattered.
Hei Jin's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, we're here."
Nangong Yan looked at Qingli and asked, "Are you still walking?"
Qingli rolled her eyes at him, snorted coldly, then stood up and walked away.
In just a moment, her legs went weak and she fell.
Fortunately, Nangong Yan was prepared and reached out to catch her.
He smiled softly, and his deep voice sounded above Qingli's head, "Why bother to be so stubborn!"
As he spoke, he picked her up by the waist, and his body suddenly leaned forward. Qingli unconsciously stretched out her arms to hug his neck, and the postures of the two suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Qingli said hurriedly: "Let go, I will leave by myself."
Nangong Yan ignored her, suddenly bent down and moved closer to Qingli.
A familiar woody scent surrounded her, and Qingli's heartbeat instantly accelerated. Her whole body was tense and nervous.
The carriage door was too low, and Nangong Yan had to bend down to get through.
"Why are you so nervous?"
After getting off the carriage, Nangong Yan looked straight ahead at the road and spoke calmly.
Qingli raised her eyes, only to see his rolling Adam's apple. She swallowed, looking a little unnatural.
"I'm not nervous."
As Qingli spoke, she glanced around casually and suddenly realized that this was not a farm in the suburbs.
All she could see were red walls and yellow tiles, and palaces stretching one after another. The magnificent palaces made Qingli feel sick.
"The Imperial Palace? Nangong Yan, you actually brought me to the Imperial Palace? Are you crazy?"
Qingli was anxious. It was easy for her to escape to the farm in the suburbs, but how could she escape to the palace when she was still poisoned by the muscle softening powder?
It’s so annoying! Why did you come to the palace?
Hearing her angry voice, Nangong Yan smiled, very satisfied with her reaction.
"Well, you're always running away, aren't you? Try running again this time."
He couldn't hide his smugness in his tone.
