Chapter 494 The Truth
Yun Qingqing looked at Xiao Changheng quietly, thinking about how to start the conversation.
Finally, she slowly raised her hand and made a gesture. A faint light appeared on her fingertips, and she lightly tapped her eyebrows. Slowly, strands of white light were pulled out from her eyebrows, and finally a small ball of light formed in her palm.
Xiao Changheng recognized it. He had seen Yun Qingqing use this spell in Fahua Temple. It was the Soul-Searching Floating Shadow.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand slightly, allowing the contents of the ball of light to unfold in front of the two of them.
Xiao Changheng looked closely and suddenly heard a woman's shrill voice coming from inside:
"Xiao Zirui! Are you really going to break our engagement?"
His pupils shrank slightly as he saw in the picture a woman in white standing high outside the bridge railing, her entire face covered with frightening pustules, roaring at Xiao Zirui, who was riding a tall horse on the shore and wearing auspicious clothes.
He stared at the woman in the picture. After a moment, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he turned to look at Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing nodded and said softly:
"This is what happened by the river, the day you first saw me, before your carriage arrived."
Xiao Changheng's heart was filled with shock. He turned back and stared at the scene again, watching the entire confrontation between the woman on the bridge and Xiao Zirui.
Until the end, the woman became discouraged.
"That's all..."
The woman laughed ruefully and said in a miserable voice:
"Xiao Zirui, today I..."
But before she could finish her words, her body suddenly shook, and she fell off the bridge and into the river like a kite with a broken string!
Xiao Changheng's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned to look at Yun Qingqing.
She just gestured to him lightly, asking him to continue reading.
Various insults from the onlookers were heard on the screen:
"Ah! She really jumped!"
"Why bother? You're so desperate to get married that you're threatening to commit suicide..."
"Marriage is supposed to be a matter of mutual love, but the prince doesn't like her, and he chose to jump into the river when she was about to betrothal. Isn't this just deliberately disgusting?"
"That's right, such an ugly and vicious woman, not even as good as Miss Su's toe, she deserves to die..."
Xiao Changheng frowned tightly and stared at the river in the picture. Suddenly, he saw a figure floating in the river and swimming to the shore and climbing up.
Then came Xiao Zirui's condescending ridicule:
"You really can swim, and you even pretended to jump into the river to commit suicide. Do you really think I would be fooled by you?"
"Yun Qingqing, I'm telling you one last time, I will never marry a sinister and vicious woman like you! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Changheng's eyes turned cold and his brows furrowed, but he saw the woman on the ground raised her head, revealing the pair of pure black eyes that he had engraved in his heart at first sight.
He heard the woman's familiar and ostentatious mocking voice:
"Your Highness, don't take yourself too seriously. From now on, you can marry whoever you want. I'm not interested in scumbag men!"
Yun Qingqing raised her hand, and the picture stopped abruptly and dissipated with the wind.
The surroundings fell into silence again.
Xiao Changheng stood there quietly, digesting the information he had just seen.
He has always had a quick mind and had guessed about some things about Yun Qingqing in recent days, but the truth was so directly presented before his eyes that it was still difficult for him to digest for a while.
Especially since the cause of this incident was Yun Qingqing saying that the Queen...
Seeing Xiao Changheng standing there in a daze without saying a word for a long time, Yun Qingqing was not surprised.
She sighed softly, drew a divine talisman array on the ground, took Xiao Changheng's hand, and said softly:
"I'll take you somewhere."
Xiao Changheng let her pull him into the formation. The scenery around him suddenly became blurred, and the wind whistled in his ears. In just a moment, they arrived at another place.
He looked around and found that he was in the mountains and there was a village not far away.
The position of the sun has not changed much from before, which means that this place is not far from the capital and should be in the suburbs.
Yun Qingqing saw through his guess and explained:
"This farm and the surrounding land were given to me by my grandfather as a dowry."
She led Xiao Changheng to a grave and said softly:
"The area behind Zhuangzi is rarely visited and has good feng shui, so I placed it here."
Xiao Changheng looked at the tombstone with a complicated look in his eyes.
The name engraved on the stele was Yun Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
The two stood silently in front of the grave, speechless for a long time.
Xiao Changheng finally spoke:
"So she died after falling into the water?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"He has already been reincarnated."
She thought for a moment and added:
"Don't worry, she has great merits and will be incomparably rich in her next life. She will live a long life."
After the original owner drowned, her body took in Yun Qingqing, the savior. Her merits were immeasurable and she would enjoy blessings for many lifetimes.
Xiao Changheng's eyes were still fixed on the tombstone, his expression solemn:
"So you're saying... her falling into the water wasn't suicide, nor was it an accident?"
Yun Qingqing turned her head and looked directly at him:
"I have a great fortune telling that cannot possibly go wrong... The Queen sent someone to throw her into the water."
Xiao Changheng turned his head to meet her gaze, speechless.
He never doubted that Yun Qingqing's hexagram would be wrong.
Yun Qingqing continued:
"That girl was already extremely disappointed with Xiao Zirui, and she just wanted to make things clear. Her last words meant that she would have nothing to do with Xiao Zirui from now on."
"But before he could even open his mouth, he was hit hard on the back of his head and fell into the water and died."
"By some strange coincidence, I was able to survive in her body. To others, it looked like no one had died... but such a young girl, such a vibrant life, was truly murdered!"
Xiao Changheng was speechless.
Yun Qingqing's voice was a little harsh:
"Killing someone means killing them. Karma will prevail. The culprit of this incident must pay the price!"
Xiao Changheng met her sharp gaze, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at the tombstone again, his voice hoarse:
"You're not here to ask for my opinion, just to inform me, right?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips slightly and nodded.
She also turned to look at the tombstone, sorting out her somewhat complicated feelings.
She really only needed to inform him, but...if that was all, she didn't need to tell him so much.
She hoped more that Xiao Changheng could understand.
"Why do you want to tell me?" Xiao Changheng suddenly asked in a low voice.
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned, not understanding whether he was referring to the fact that he was going to take action against the queen, or that the original owner had passed away.
Xiao Changheng didn't look at her and continued in a low voice:
"In fact, if you secretly attacked the Queen, I could have never noticed... Why did you tell me?"
Yun Qingqing turned her head, looked at his elegant and unparalleled profile, and asked:
"So you want me to handle this matter without telling you?"
Xiao Changheng's expression paused, he was silent for a while, then he slowly sighed and shook his head gently:
"This is indeed... difficult for me to accept. But..."
He turned his head and met Yun Qingqing's gaze, his cold expression seemed to relax a little:
"Thank you for telling me the truth."
Yun Qingqing felt relieved, nodded slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a vibration coming from the white jade ring.
She was stunned for a moment, took out a jade token from her ring and held it in her hand, her expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Changheng noticed her strangeness and immediately asked:
"What's wrong?"
Without saying anything, Yun Qingqing pulled him over and started to form a formation with her other hand, saying urgently:
"Something happened in the Yun Mansion!"
