Qing Yue left the house, feeling numb and her head buzzing. When she was inside the house, she seemed calm, forcing herself to say the most decisive words, forcing herself to nip the rising heartbeat in the bud.
She walked out the door, walked along the corridor, and left the yard, but the next moment she suddenly squatted down, buried her face in her knees, tears streaming down her face.
Her heart aches.
She was reborn and lived two lives as a human. She loved Chu Yan to the core in her life, but in return she suffered a heart-wrenching and tragic death.
This time, someone held her hand, led her to revenge, gave her a place to live, and protected her life, but it also made her cold and broken heart warm, and she couldn't help but throb.
Heartless words are like knives, they hurt more than just one person.
"Qin Wan."
At this moment, a voice sounded behind him, with some anxiety and uneasiness.
Qingyue blinked back the tears in her eyes, slowly straightened up, turned around, and saw Pingyang coming in, exhausted.
Her eyes were red and dark under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well. She stood there tugging at her clothes, looking panicked.
"Qin Wan, are you crying?"
She looked conflicted, her eyes fixed on her face as she asked softly.
"No, I got blinded by the sand. Princess, is there anything you want to ask?"
Qing Yue pursed her lips and spoke in a somewhat cold voice.
Pingyang pursed her lips, and the guilt in her heart flooded over. Qin Wan was clearly crying, but she insisted that it was sand in her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't want to say more to her.
She bit her lip, asked the butler who led the way to retreat, and said with her hands clasped together, "I heard that you and Sixth Brother were assassinated and fell off a cliff. I, I..."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already red.
"Qin Wan, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted you and Sister Qing to reconcile, so I asked you to go to Nanjiao Mountain. But I didn't expect to encounter an ambush and put you and Sixth Brother in danger. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
Pingyang finished speaking with a sob.
Qin Wan knew that the news of her and Feng Ling being assassinated had spread throughout the capital. After all, she had been missing for a night, so it was not surprising that Pingyang knew the news.
But she felt depressed and uncomfortable, and had no mood to comfort Pingyang.
The assassination was not her fault. If she didn't want to go, no one could force her.
"It has nothing to do with you. I'm fine too. Your sixth brother... is fine too. You don't have to blame yourself."
Qing Yuedao.
Hearing Qingyue say this, Pingyang didn't feel comforted at all and still felt very uncomfortable.
"Is there anything else? If not, Princess, please go back. Your sixth brother was wounded by an arrow and has just been given medicine and is resting. It is inconvenient for him to see you. I also need to go and rest here."
Pingyang looked into Qingyue Qingling's eyes through tears, his heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing down on him. He knew that Qin Wan had ordered him to leave. "Sixth brother, is he seriously injured?"
"Well, it almost cost me my life."
Qing Yue was stunned for a moment and spoke.
The arrow was shot at the heart. If it had been even slightly off, Feng Ling would have been dead. But that arrow was meant to save her.
The dull pain in my heart started again.
He saved her life, yet she said such cruel words.
Hearing Qingyue say this, Pingyang shuddered slightly, "Do you know who is behind this? How could they be so bold as to ambush and assassinate the current prince?"
Qingyue raised her eyes and said, "Pingyang, did you come back from Nanjiao Mountain with Chu Yan and Qingyue the day before yesterday?"
Pingyang raised her head quickly. She knew what Qin Wan meant by asking this, and her tone immediately became a little anxious. "Qin Wan, I know there are some misunderstandings between you, Sister Qing, and Fourth Brother. I asked you to go to Nanjiao Mountain this time to help you resolve the misunderstanding, but I don't know why it developed like that.
This assassination attempt had nothing to do with Sister Qing and Fourth Brother. After you left that day, I was with them the entire time and returned to the mansion with them. I only found out about your mishap later."
Pingyang was anxious and worried. Seeing that Qin Wan didn't say anything, he hurriedly said, "Qin Wan, please believe what I say. I don't want the conflict between you and my sister Qing to deepen. She is still under house arrest because of the last incident. If the emperor knows that she went to Nanjiao Mountain, she will inevitably be scolded. She and Fourth Brother are both sensitive now. If this matter involves them, the emperor will probably be even more angry."
Looking at Pingyang's anxious face, Qingyue felt calm inside.
She was protecting Qing Yunyao, but also her.
She wanted to say something to her, but felt it was unnecessary. It just made her feel tired, and it also made her more determined to expose Qing Yunyao's true face.
"Qin Wan, my sister Qing is a really good person. You just don't really understand her. She was the most upset about Qing Er's murder. This was all done by my sister Qing's 'fake master'. He deceived everyone, including my sister Qing. He is the real villain."
Pingyang explained earnestly.
Qing Yue remained silent.
Seeing the corners of Pingyang's eyes becoming redder and redder, the proud and arrogant little princess was now anxious and worried, and wanted her to reconcile with "Qingyue" with a heart full of eagerness and guilt.
She can't be scolded or hit, but she feels sad inside. What will the little princess do if the truth is revealed one day?
"Pingyang, go back. You will probably know the truth the day after tomorrow."
Without saying much, Qing Yue was also very tired. She only said this and left the yard, leaving Princess Pingyang standing in the yard in a daze.
the truth?
What truth?
Pingyang wanted to ask, but Qin Wan was nowhere to be seen. She felt a little lost. She rubbed her eyes for a long time before turning around and walking out of the house.
She felt so upset. In fact, she liked Qin Wan very much and wanted to be friends with her, but Sister Qing had been her partner for many years. She really hoped that the two of them could shake hands and make peace, but unexpectedly, things were getting worse and worse.
Qing Yue went straight to the pharmacy. At this moment, only refining medicine could calm her mind.
Feng Ling was injured, and the ten-day deadline was up. They would soon be summoned to the palace. This was her best chance to expose Qing Yunyao. She had waited for this moment for too long.
The stove was burning, and the red flames reflected the coldness on Qing Yue's face. The herbs were added into the stove one by one. The herbs for making the antidote for Huanyan Pill had already been collected. Now all they had to do was make the pill.
On normal days, Qing Yue would have been excited, after all, victory was in sight. But at this moment, she felt uncomfortable. She felt more uncomfortable with every herb she threw away, because every hard-to-find precious herb was found for her by Feng Ling. She only needed to write down a list and then she didn't have to worry about anything else.
Bang, whoosh...
The fire jumped and the aroma of medicine overflowed. The medicine furnace slowly cooked under the flames. After a while, the fire went out.
Qing Yue opened the furnace lid and saw a gray pill lying quietly in the small medicine furnace. The antidote to Huanyan Pill, refined...
