Feng Ling's question was really merciless.
Seeing Qing Yue remained silent, Feng Ling sneered, "Qin Wan, don't think I don't know your little tricks. Do you think that if you help me check my legs, I won't ask you about your visit to the General's Mansion tonight?"
Qing Yue sighed inwardly. She knew that it would not be so easy for Feng Ling to let down her guard against her, and she also knew that what happened tonight would not be so easy to get over.
"I came here tonight to explain to you, Feng Ling. I didn't intend to hide anything from you. There are some things I didn't say because I didn't know where to start. The most important thing right now is that I take a look at your leg. Is it really painful?"
Qing Yue raised her eyes coldly, but did not even challenge Feng Ling.
Feng Ling stared at Qing Yue with a heavy gaze, mistaking her unusually gentle attitude tonight for a sign of guilt.
He wanted to see how this woman could explain it.
She is quite brave to break into your house at night.
If we allow her to continue like this, she might break into the palace and kill people next time while bearing the title of Princess Yu.
"You must give me an explanation first."
Feng Ling stared at her and said in a tone that brooked no argument. Even though his face turned pale from the pain and his breathing became much heavier, his eyes were still sharp and he refused to compromise.
Qing Yue pursed her lips slightly. She could see that if she didn't give an explanation, Feng Ling would never let her see her legs, and might not even let her treat the Seven Star Begonia poison in her body.
"Feng Ling, what would you do if no one could cure the Seven Star Begonia poison in your body?"
Suddenly, she asked an unrelated question.
Feng Ling seemed a little impatient. He left with a frown on his face, but said, "We'll die together."
With just four words, Qingyue understood everything.
It turned out that her means of blackmail had never been able to impress Feng Ling.
She said that she could cure his poison and save his life, otherwise if Chu Yan and the Queen and her party ascended to the throne, his relatives and friends would not have a good end. However, she never considered that Feng Ling, who had suffered a serious injury, might have already given up hope for his life, and before he died, he just needed to take those enemies to hell with him.
Just look at the secret guards under Feng Ling and you will know that he is capable, otherwise he would not have had a broken leg and been poisoned for three years without being killed.
She was mistaken.
She died tragically, framed by her younger sister and fiancé. Her trust in people had collapsed, and she really never wanted to trust Feng Ling.
In fact, she and Feng Ling are the same kind of people.
They have all suffered severe setbacks and are both wary of others.
But how could she tell Feng Ling her secret? Who could possibly believe such a bizarre and unbelievable thing? If she told him, Feng Ling might think she was lying to him again, and that would only add another layer of ice to their already precarious relationship.
But Qing Yue also knew that tonight, that is, at this moment, was the best time for her to establish a good relationship and trust with Feng Ling. If she missed tonight, she would never have another chance and would never gain Feng Ling's trust at all.
After thinking for a long time, Qing Yue let out a long breath.
She only said, "Feng Ling, let me tell you my secret."
Feng Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't respond.
So Qingyue slowly spoke...
"Feng Ling, I am the youngest daughter of the Qin family. My biological mother is unknown. I only heard from the servants that she was a slave who climbed into my father's bed and gave birth to me. As soon as I was born, it represented an ominous sign and I was sent to a farm in the countryside... For such a young child, being sent to a strange place, you can imagine what happened.
It may be that Prime Minister Qin gave the order that although the wet nurse who took care of me was not very dedicated, she did not dare to kill me.
As far as I can remember before I was eight years old, all I did was get beaten and do manual labor. My status there was even lower than that of a slave.
Even before I was eight years old, I didn’t know I was the daughter of the Qin family.”
Qing Yue narrated slowly. This was Qin Wan's memory. When she spoke word by word, pain filled her heart. She occupied Qin Wan's body, but also shared her feelings.
Feng Ling lowered his eyes and said nothing. These things were not much different from what his people had investigated.
There are always some dirty things happening in wealthy families, and he is no longer surprised by them.
"In that farm, I didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes. Starvation and cold were commonplace. Until one day, I overheard the servants talking. They said I was the daughter of the Qin family. That's when I realized I actually had parents. So I fought tooth and nail to get them back...
But I couldn't leave the village. They watched me very closely. When they found out I had eavesdropped on their conversation, they beat me up and mocked me, saying that the Qin family had abandoned me and I could never go back. Then they locked me in the woodshed and starved me for three days and three nights..."
The scene of Qin Wan when he was ten years old emerged in Qingyue's mind.
In the dark and gloomy woodshed, a skinny little girl huddled in the corner. Her body was covered with bruises, and her cheeks were sunken due to her thinness, making her eyes look particularly large.
No one came to see her for three days, and she fell to the ground, thinking she would die there.
Fortunately, the wet nurse didn't dare to let her die. She dragged her out, fed her a bowl of rice water, and beat her.
But at this point, the little Qin Wan had already planted the seed of returning home in his heart.
She remembered that her home was in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, her father was Prime Minister Qin, and she was Prime Minister Qin's youngest daughter.
…
I knew she wasn't doing well, but I didn't expect her to be this miserable.
Feng Ling raised her eyes and glanced at her. Even though she was in such a miserable state, she still looked like this. One must say that Qin Wan was quite lucky.
Eight years old...
What is he doing?
Feng Ling thought about it. He was still the most favored little prince in the palace. He acted arrogantly in the palace. Who would dare to mess with him?
"That time, if she hadn't appeared, I would have died in that woodshed..."
The next moment, Qing Yue changed the subject.
"Later, I was rescued by someone. A little girl sneaked into the mansion. She was passing by with her master and wanted to ask for a bowl of water. Somehow she entered the manor, took a wrong turn, and found me dying in the woodshed."
"Who is it?"
Feng Ling asked.
He sensitively realized that this person should be the important person who made Qin Wan become what he is today.
This was something his people had completely failed to discover during their investigation.
Qing Yue took a deep breath and finally said, "Ms. Qing Yue."
"who?"
Feng Ling's pupils shrank, and she almost thought she had heard it wrong. Qingyue?
Oh, what is this woman talking about?
"Yes, you heard it right. It's Qing Yue, the eldest daughter of the Qing family."
Qing Yue spoke in a decisive tone. This was the most truthful excuse she could think of. Otherwise, she could not explain why the timid Qin Wan had excellent medical skills and archery skills, nor could she explain the hatred between her, Qing Yunyao and Chu Yan.
"So, she, the eldest daughter of the Qing family, saved your life and is your savior? Then what happened between you that made you want to kill her again and again?"
