brush.
Qing Zhan's peach blossom eyes narrowed suddenly, and his breathing stopped. "What did you say?"
Tears welled up in Qing Yue's eyes. This was the past she least wanted to face. "On the day I died, I was wearing the dress you gave me. That dress was specially made for me when I was seventeen and came of age. You gave it to me as a gift. It was embroidered with my favorite gardenias using colorful coins. The dress was purple, but the petals were light pink. The gauze had three layers and tassels at the waist..."
As Qing Yue spoke one sentence after another, Qing Zhan's face became paler and paler.
His head was buzzing, his eyes were fixed on Qin Wan in front of him, his heart was pounding, and the palpitations that felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest made him feel panic.
The tears in Qingyue's eyes did not fall.
"Second brother, the day I died, I was wearing the skirt you gave me. It's been three years now. I know my body must have rotted into a pile of bones, but as long as the body can be found, the fabric of the skirt must still be there. You told me at the time that you asked someone to bring the material from the south. It's silk satin, and it won't deteriorate for years..."
"Who are you?"
Qing Zhan's voice trembled slightly.
"I am your sister, Qingyue."
Qin Wan in front of him said with tears in his eyes.
Bang.
Qing Zhan was frightened after all, his face changed, he took a step back, sat on the small couch behind him, and then coughed violently.
After suppressing his cough for a long while, his peach blossom eyes were already red.
"Where is the body you mentioned?"
Qing Zhan raised his eyes, with a fierce look in them. He stared at Qin Wan in front of him and asked word by word.
He knew he shouldn't believe Qin Wan's words, but the panic and fear in his heart became more and more obvious.
He didn't want to be led astray by Qin Wan's words, but her words made him more and more suspicious.
How could he forget his seventeenth birthday gift? He had put so much effort into custom-making it based on his sister's preferences. He also couldn't forget the look of joy and delight on his sister's face when she put on that dress...
However, ever since his younger sister became the Princess of You, he had never seen her wear that skirt again. Once, he casually asked about it, and his younger sister said that she didn't like it anymore and that Chu Yan had customized so many skirts for her that she couldn't wear them all.
Although he felt a little disappointed at the time, he soon felt relieved. After all, his younger sister was married, so naturally things were different from when she was a child.
"Where is the body you mentioned?"
Qing Zhan asked again, his voice trembling.
Qing Yue's eyes were red as she replied word by word, "At the bottom of the cliff of Fallen Leaves Mountain."
"Take me there now, Qin Wan. If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you...!"
Qing Zhan gritted his teeth, his tone fierce and trembling.
He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Qing Yue wiped her eyes. She knew that her second brother believed it, but she didn't dare to believe it completely.
That's enough.
"Brother, don't worry. He's been dead for three years, and your body hasn't recovered yet..."
"Go now! Ahem…"
But then Qing Zhan shouted sternly. His peach blossom eyes were red as he looked at Qin Wan. His hands at his sides were clenched into fists. He couldn't wait any longer. He had to expose Qin Wan's lies. He had to, otherwise he couldn't bear it.
I really can't stand it.
Because whenever he thought that what Qin Wan said might be true, his chest felt like it was about to explode.
"Second brother, the poison in your body has not yet been cleared. Let's wait two days..."
"Now."
Qing Zhan gritted his teeth and spoke each word clearly.
"good."
Finally Qingyue nodded.
Qing Zhan stood up and followed Qing Yue out of the house together.
"Has the discussion concluded?"
A faint voice sounded in his ears, and he saw Feng Ling sitting under the weeping willow tree in the yard, reading a military book in his hand. When he saw two people coming out, he raised his head, his phoenix eyes fell on their faces, and then his pupils narrowed, because he saw that Qin Wan's eyes were very red, obviously he had been crying.
Her beautiful face showed a hint of fragility.
She cried, actually cried in front of Qing Zhan.
Feng Ling's face darkened, as if something was blocking his chest, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Your Highness, Qing Er and I have something to do outside, so we might be back a little late."
Qin Wan didn't expect Feng Ling to not leave and was waiting in the yard. After a brief pause, he tilted his head and rubbed his eyes before speaking.
In fact, she didn't need to explain where she was going to Feng Ling, but now they have reached a cooperative relationship? Especially this time, bringing Qing Zhan out was also helped by her.
But when Feng Ling heard these words, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she listened to them.
Did she get close to Qing Er and move him aside?
Oh……
"Where are you going?"
He asked.
This really doesn't fit Feng Ling's character.
Qing Yue frowned and said, "I'm going out to do something. I should be back in the evening."
This means not telling him where he is going.
Feng Ling's eyes turned colder. "Qin Wan, you should know what's going on now. If you and Qing Zhan go out together and are seen, how will you explain it to the Qing family and Prince You's Mansion?"
Feng Ling asked in a cold voice.
"Qing Zhan is missing, and the Qing family has reported him to the Jingzhao Yin. The entire capital is under strict lockdown, and a blanket search is underway for Qing Zhan's whereabouts. If you want to go out with him now, where do you think this prince should be?"
The tone became colder, and the phoenix eyes seemed like a cold pond.
Qing Yue paused and actually forgot about this matter. She was too emotional and felt wronged by Qing Zhan's disbelief that she forgot that his disappearance had caused a huge uproar in the Qing family.
"I'll write a letter, Your Highness, and I'd like to ask Your Highness to deliver it to the General's Mansion. I'd be very grateful to you."
Qing Zhan spoke.
He bowed in Feng Ling's direction.
At this moment, his heart was in a mess, but he was more anxious. He wanted to confirm this matter and couldn't wait a moment.
Feng Ling remained unmoved and looked at Qing Zhan coldly, "Are you giving me orders?"
The coldness in his tone was not concealed at all.
"Your Majesty, I want to take Qing Zhan to the top of Fallen Leaf Mountain."
Qing Yue noticed that Feng Ling was in a bad mood, and her whole body exuded a cold and cruel feeling. She seemed to realize that since they were working together, she shouldn't hide anything, especially in such a sensitive situation at this moment, so she spoke up to explain.
Hearing Qing Yue's words, Feng Ling's eyes flashed.
It seems that he told Qing Yue about her tragic death, so he wants to take Qing Zhan to see the place where his sister died tragically?
Feng Ling raised his eyelids and looked at Qing Zhan's pale face with bloodshot eyes. He felt a little pitiful for him and the anger that had risen in his heart just dissipated. He was about to say that he would go with him, but before he could say anything, Qing Yue spoke again, "Luoye Mountain is a bit steep. It will be inconvenient for Your Highness. Qing Zhan and I can go alone. Your Highness, don't worry, he and I will disguise ourselves so that no one can recognize us."
