Chapter 583 It's hard to explain
Fu Zhaoning was so angry that he couldn't control himself.
Her voice rose.
"You clearly said that Prince Jun was a very small baby and you didn't want to kill him, so why did you poison him when people said Prince Jun couldn't live?"
Shen Qiao's eyes turned red.
"I didn't poison her. I refused her, but she turned and left immediately. She said that if I didn't do it, she would let my husband do it. She also said that the poison was ready and pointed out where Prince Jun was, and then she left."
"What about you?"
Fu Zhaoning's heart was lifted.
She could feel that although Shen Qiao's mind was still confused, if she kept asking her, she would remember some things from time to time. Maybe in this case, what she said would be somewhat true.
"Me? At that time, I was thinking that I must not let my husband listen to her, but I don't know why, I went in the direction she pointed, entered the palace, and entered that room. I can't remember what happened afterwards. My mind was blank and I felt a little dizzy. When I woke up, many people surrounded me, and I was holding a bowl in my hand--"
Shen Qiao covered her face and started crying.
"They all said that I poisoned Prince Jun! I can't remember, but I did walk there by myself. I was holding the bowl in my hand, and there was still a little poison left in the bowl—"
Shen Qiao was trembling all over.
"I can't remember clearly myself, and I'm not sure if it was me, because my husband said that I would occasionally behave like this. I would suddenly do something, but forget it after a while! For example, I always feel that I still have a home. Sometimes I would leave the capital by myself and want to go home, but I would forget it while walking -"
Shen Xuan was also shocked when he heard this.
Is this the reason for the messy moods that Shen Qiao drew and wrote when she was at Fu’s house?
Maybe it is in her consciousness that she can remember the Shen family?
When at the Fu family, Fu Zhaoning also packed up the things they left behind. Shen Qiao had a lot of calligraphy and paintings, as well as a diary-like book that recorded some moods and small events in a trivial way. It did show that she had some dreams intermittently, and some of the things she drew were also related to the Shen family.
Maybe she was gifted and could remember things very early, so some fleeting memories were stored in her mind.
"You have absolutely no recollection of whether you ever drank poison with Prince Jun? The bowl and spoon are both in your hands?"
It's a pity for Fu Zhaoning. If she had been there at that time, she could have checked the fingerprints on the bowls and spoons, and she would have been able to find out everything clearly.
"I really can't remember, but everyone says it was me. My husband wanted to help me find evidence at the time, but he didn't find it either. Everything points to me," Shen Qiao held her head, feeling extremely painful, "I can't even be sure if I did it or not."
The worst thing is that she couldn't even say "I didn't do it".
Because she herself wasn't sure.
When Xiao Lanyuan heard this outside, his face turned dark.
You’re not sure whether you did it or not?
"I suspect she was injured when she was taken away as a child, so there will be chaos here." Shen Xuan pointed to his head and said in a low voice.
His face looked bad and his mood was not good.
How could he feel good when he heard that his little missing sister was suffering so much?
Xiao Lanyuan felt as if there was a nameless fire stuffed into his chest, but he couldn't vent it out now.
"Then why did you leave the capital?" Fu Zhaoning was still asking in the room.
"Someone in the palace wanted to kill us. If we didn't run away, we would have died in prison that night. My husband said that if we died like this, we would never find out the truth, and our family would have to bear this stain forever."
"Don't you remember your family?"
"It's my husband who doesn't remember. I, I remember. I remember that there were a lot of people at home, and my father-in-law was very kind, and, and -"
Fu Zhaoning was holding his breath and waiting for her to continue. Would she remember that she had a daughter if she continued?
As a result, she saw that Shen Qiao still had a long time to go on, but she didn't continue, and instead hit her head.
"No, I must have missed something. It's very important. Why can't I remember it?"
She is about to break down.
Fu Zhaoning felt a little overwhelmed. What was wrong with this couple? The memory in his brain seemed to be pierced through like a sieve!
"They don't remember Zhao Ning." Shen Xuan sighed again.
"Don't remember what you should remember." Xiao Lanyuan also gritted his teeth.
Fortunately, Zhaoning is mentally strong and not such a fragile child, otherwise he would be heartbroken.
"Then how did you escape from the capital? Did someone help you?" Fu Zhaoning asked again.
"My husband is very capable. He remembered the defense of the entire capital, and the timing of the prison and patrol changes. He used to help several jailers, as well as the night incense sellers and meat deliverymen. They all helped. There was a small gap in the Zhaoguo wall, which had not been repaired at the time and was guarded by officials, but we could sneak through it when we had a chance, and we escaped from there."
Shen Qiao's simple words made Xiao Lanyuan's eyes deepen.
Fu Jinchen is fine.
He really didn't expect that Fu Jinchen, who was so young, had no official position and was not a big shot at that time, already had so many people helping him.
Moreover, he was able to remember the defense of the entire capital city clearly, and took advantage of the loophole to successfully escape from the capital city with his wife.
If that incident had not happened that year, with his ability, he would have become famous in the palace banquets, and he might have really moved up step by step, and now Zhao State would have become a great power.
"After you got out, didn't you ever think about going back?"
"We can't go back." Chen Qiao murmured, "So many people, so many people are chasing us, and our family members in the capital are trying every means to send us a message, saying that they are taking care of our family. It's okay if we don't go back. If we dare to go back, we will implicate our family and they will all die."
"Who brought the message to you?"
"They are relatives from other branches of our family. They are all here and will take care of our family. We cannot go back and bring trouble to them."
How could Fu Zhaoning not understand?
It must be Fu Si and his friends. Fu Si and his friends were not good people to begin with. Only after Fu Jinchen left could they wait until the old man passed away. She was left as an orphan. She could either get married or let them do whatever they wanted to her. What could they do?
"You just believe it?"
"My husband believes it, because there really are people chasing us, including the emperor's men. We have offended the emperor, how can we return to the emperor's feet?"
"He wasn't the emperor at that time."
"He wanted to kill us at the time, as well as the people in the harem. My husband said there were several factions that wanted to kill us."
