"If it were me, I would look down on you too."

"As a daughter, don't I even have the right to know the truth?"
Nangong Wan was silent. She didn't speak for a long time, until Jin Suting became impatient. She finally spoke: "I can only tell you that I know very little."
She was not present at the time, and the general's mansion was soon sealed off.
The most useful evidence that could be found was the old general's body.
"The coroner dissected the general's body and found that he had taken too much hallucinogen." While abiding by her professional ethics, Nangong Wan also told what she knew.
"Hallucinogenic Powder..."
Jin Suting had heard of this name before. Lan Qiqing told her that hallucinogen is a drug that can cause people to have temporary hallucinations and be controlled by the person who drugged them.
"This is a banned drug in Funing City." Nangong Wan explained, "I guess the general was framed."
This guy must have been drugged!
Jin Suting's tears suddenly fell, "I'll tell you why, or I'll tell you why..."
But she quickly calmed down and said, "Why not make this matter public?"
Nangong Chan's face showed some difficulty. She said, "His Majesty ordered us to keep this secret."
After saying this, Jin Suting felt disappointed.
After a long while, she finally said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, go back to your work."
She could never understand why Helan Ruizhe concealed this matter. Was it so difficult to avenge her Jin family?
"There is one more thing." Before leaving, Nangong Wan thought for a long time and still felt that he should tell Jin Suting.
In the evening, Helan Ruizhe came to Fengluan Palace again, and Jin Suting really didn't want to face him.
He claimed to be ill and refused to see anyone.
Only Furong was guarding outside the palace. Helan Ruizhe asked her what happened to Jin Suting.
Furong shook her head. "I don't know either. The Madam has been like this since she came back from Changle Palace. She barely ate and stayed locked up in her room."
Helan Ruizhe became even more worried when he heard this. He tried to go in several times but was rejected by Jin Suting every time. He went to Changle Palace in anger.
Over there, Nangong Xiangle and Xiao Changyan were playing games, Lu Zhiqi and Shi Qingmiao were chatting, when Helan Ruizhe walked in angrily.
The palace maids all knelt and saluted. Shi Qingmiao was the first to ask, "Brother, what's wrong with you, you're so angry?"
Helan Ruizhe said nothing. He couldn't lose his temper in front of little Changyan, so he tried his best to suppress his anger. "Has the Queen been here today?"
Nangong Xiangle naturally knew about this matter. Jin Suting told her not to answer anyone's questions, and if she had to say something, she could lie and say that the Empress came to teach her how to make pastries.
But the person she was facing was His Majesty, how could she lie without batting an eyelid?
After much consideration, Nangong Xiangle decided not to abandon the Queen and lied reluctantly.
But her acting was so poor that Shi Qingmiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Helan Ruizhe asked coldly, "Where are your cakes?"
Nangong Xiangle was a little girl after all, she couldn't lie or cover up, but she still made up a lie that looked flawed: "Eat, I'm done."
How could Helan Ruizhe believe it? He knew that Jin Suting would not teach others how to cook easily, and she would definitely not become so depressed because of cooking.
"You'd better tell the truth," Helan Ruizhe said, trying his best to suppress his anger. "Who did she meet in Changle Palace today and what did she do? Tell me everything!"
Little Changyan was held in Shi Qingmiao's arms, looking at Helan Ruizhe with round eyes, feeling a little scared.
My uncle is even more vicious than my mother...
Nangong Xiangle was naturally frightened and knelt down directly, "Today, Your Majesty, Your Majesty met me, my aunt, in Changle Palace..."
Nangong Nan...
As soon as Helan Ruizhe thought of this name, he knew that something bad was going to happen. The worst outcome was that Nangong Wan had already told Jin Suting everything.
"Don't lie to me next time."
After saying this, he hurried back to Fengluan Palace.
Lu Zhiqi went to help Nangong Xiangle down from his stall, "Look, I have goosebumps. Your Majesty is so scary."
Nangong Xiangle was worried about Jin Suting, "Your Majesty is so fierce, will the Queen be okay?"
Shi Qingmiao comforted the sleepy little Changyan and said loudly, "Don't worry, my brother only gets angry at others, not at Sister Su. Ah, my sister-in-law, she's as cowardly as our little fourth son."
As expected, the one who understands his brother best is his sister.
Helan Ruizhe was as humble as a little boy at this time. He scratched the door and apologized, begging Jin Suting to open the door and look at him.
Your Majesty, who is so majestic during the day, looks like this at night.
I scratched it for a long time, how long?
The moon ran from here to there.
The light in the room stayed on, and he kept scratching.
Hard work pays off. He finally scratched out the light, but the door opened.
The person who came out was Tan'er. She bowed lightly and said apologetically, "Your Majesty, the Queen said you were too noisy and asked you to be quiet for a while."
Helan Ruizhe: "...let her see me."
He learned his lesson this time. When a woman is angry, she must be coaxed, and it is more effective to coax her while she is still angry.
If she went the next night, their relationship would be as cold as her extinguished anger.
Tan Er continued, "Your Majesty, I'm truly sorry. The Queen has gone to bed, and she sent me a few words to you."
Helan Ruizhe thought he had seen the light, "Tell me quickly, what is it?"
Tan Er was apologetic, but she still expressed what Jin Suting wanted to say vividly: "The Queen said that if there is anything, we should wait until daybreak to discuss it, because she is afraid that she will be unable to resist and take ruthless action after dark."
