Qin Ningyue's face changed and she subconsciously wanted to run, but the man in front of her had a cold face and a long sword hanging on his waist, which was directly in front of her.
"Who is your master?"
Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth and spoke anxiously.
"Prince You."
Qin Ningyue's face turned pale.
…
This was her second time in Prince You's Mansion. The last time, she was knocked unconscious, taken into a room, and drugged. After that, she was warned and thrown back to the gate of the mansion.
And just a moment ago, she figured out why Chu Yanyan listened to Qin Wan so much and tortured her to vent her anger. It was because Qin Wan was Qing Yue, the one he loved.
If she had known the truth earlier, she really would not have rashly sent the letter, or at least would have thought it through carefully.
But now, Chu Yan wants to see her. Does it mean that he knows that the letter was sent by her?
Qin Ningyue was so frightened that her hands and feet were shaking.
If Chu Yan knew that she was the one who sent the nameless letter, in order to protect Qing Yue, he might tear her apart with his own hands. Thinking of King You's methods, she shuddered with coldness.
"Master, the person has been brought here."
While my mind was wandering, I heard the voice of my subordinate in my ears.
Qin Ningyue suddenly came back to her senses and when she looked up she was surprised to find that she was already standing in the courtyard of Prince You's Mansion.
In the courtyard, Chu Yan sat on a stone chair, his eyes fixed on the distance, not knowing what he was looking at. When he heard Mo Feng's voice, he turned around, and his extremely cold eyes fell on Qin Ningyue. Just a faint glance, Qin Ningyue's heart tightened, and her breathing stopped.
"Your Highness, your Highness has received your greetings."
Her face turned pale, and she tried her best to suppress her inner fear and performed the salute of a noble lady.
Chu Yan's eyes were indifferent, and his cool voice rang out, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry to have asked you to come here, because I have something to ask you."
Qin Ningyue's fingers trembled and her breathing changed. She had experienced Chu Yan's ruthlessness and cruelty some time ago. Now he was sitting there, with the shadow of the tree behind him falling on him, reflecting the scattered light, and hitting his icy jade face. He was so beautiful and elegant that people could not take their eyes off him.
But Qin Ningyue did not dare to take it lightly. She held her breath and said carefully, "Your Highness, if there is anything you want to say, please feel free to tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
Her body was extremely tense, because the more gentle Chu Yan's attitude seemed, the more unsettled she felt. It was like boiling a frog in warm water, and she didn't know when the knife would fall.
And she was alone and helpless, with no one to save her.
"A few days ago, I received a letter. Miss Qin, do you know who sent it?"
Chu Yan tapped the table with his fingers and asked in a cold voice, seemingly casually.
The moment these words fell, Qin Ningyue's heart sank. It was indeed this matter! But at the same time, she was even more frightened. Chu Yan was so powerful and perceptive. In just a few days, he actually suspected her?
Where did she reveal her flaw?
She decided to write the letter suddenly, and she found a beggar, covering herself completely. No one else knew about it, and everything she did was perfect, so how could Chu Yan suspect her?
However, since it was an inquiry, it meant that Chu Yan had no evidence and was just suspicious.
So she absolutely couldn't admit it at this time, otherwise she would be dead! Chu Yan would not let her leave Prince You's Mansion today.
These thoughts flashed through Qin Ningyue's mind like lightning. Her face remained extremely calm, not revealing the slightest flaw. She gritted her teeth tightly. The next moment, she raised her head, frowning in confusion. "A letter? What letter did Your Highness receive? I don't know."
She shook her head, her face extremely calm.
After hearing her words, Chu Yan didn't say anything else, but stood up and took two steps outside.
Every step seemed to be stepping on her, making Qin Ningyue want to retreat uncontrollably, but she stood there and dared not retreat.
Until Chu Yan stood in front of her and continued, "Miss Qin, were you sick a few days ago?"
His voice was so cool that it made people feel uneasy, but his tone was extremely calm. However, the strong and cold oppressive feeling almost made Qin Ningyue kneel on the ground.
Qin Ningyue didn't dare to answer any of Chu Yan's words easily, for fear that something she said would be wrong and put herself in an irretrievable situation.
"Your Highness, I caught a cold a few days ago and have been staying at home ever since. I haven't gone anywhere."
Qin Ningyue said, the corners of her lips turning pale.
Chu Yan didn't say anything. The hourglass ticked away, and Qin Ningyue broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
"Yeah?"
Chu Yan lowered his voice and asked back. He didn't want to hear Qin Ningyue's answer, but suddenly said to his subordinates, "Bring the people here."
"yes."
The footsteps left, it was the guard named Mo Feng.
Chu Yan didn't say anything else, and Qin Ningyue stood there, her heart beating uncontrollably. Although she tried her best to remain calm, she still couldn't control her fear and panic.
Until... the guard named Mo Feng came back dragging a man.
With a bang, the man was thrown to the ground.
Qin Ningyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and a scream came out of her mouth, but she suppressed it in her throat, and the blood color on her face faded away in an instant.
It was the little beggar, lying on the ground, covered in blood, obviously having been tortured.
"Does Miss Qin know this person?"
Chu Yan asked.
Qin Ningyue shook her head like a rattle, "I don't know him, I don't know him..."
Qin Ningyue could see that she had been under pressure since the moment she stepped into Prince You's Mansion. Prince You Chu Yan's icy aura pressed down on her layer by layer, slowly destroying her psychological defenses. The moment she could no longer hold on, yes, she was almost scared. If she was stimulated any more, she would not be able to bear it.
No, it can't.
The next moment, Qin Ningyue burst into tears, as if she could no longer hold back and completely collapsed.
"Prince You, can you please tell me what you want to do? How have I offended you? Can you please tell me the truth? I really can't bear it anymore..."
She cried in agony, her face filled with confusion and collapse, forbearing yet terrified. It seemed as if she had exhausted all her strength before she finally asked, "Prince You, last time you forced me to drink poisoned tea and told me not to offend those I shouldn't, I took your advice to heart. I've been ill at home these past few days and haven't left the house. Today is my first time out, and I really don't know what happened..."
Your Majesty, has someone framed me? What did I say to you? What is that letter you mentioned? I really don’t know.
She cried and sobbed, and she was so upset.
Chu Yan watched coldly, indifferent.
In the courtyard, the only sounds were her cries and wails.
Qin Ningyue's voice was almost hoarse, but at this moment, Chu Yan's voice rang out faintly, "Did you hear clearly? Is she the one who gave you the letter and the silver?"
