Chapter 58 I Won't Marry Her
"If you ask, I will tell you everything I know." Feng Qingqing's eyes were clear and bright.
"Were you often by the prince's side in the days before he was poisoned?" Nan Jiao asked.
Feng Qingqing's expression was slightly tense. "Do you suspect that I poisoned the prince?"
Nan Jiao stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "It's not a suspicion, but I am sure that the prince's poisoning is related to you."
"I didn't..." Feng shook her head with red eyes.
"Prince Jin interrogated the servants of the Eastern Palace, and none of them were suspicious. Only you spent the most time with the prince." Nan Jiao said slowly.
Feng turned his head slightly and looked at the garden in the distance. After thinking of something, his eyes flashed quickly, "Yes, I poisoned the prince."
"I'm sure it's not you." A smile slowly spread across Nan Jiao's face. She didn't want to be the bad person, otherwise her elder brother would be so sad.
"I was the one who poisoned you!" Feng Qingqing said seriously.
Nan Jiao took a step closer to her. "If you admitted it at first, I might have believed you, but you hesitated for a while before answering. It's obvious that you want to protect me."
"You think too much."
"Someone used you to poison the prince." Nan Jiao said firmly.
"It was me who poisoned him. I will explain to the prince." Feng said softly and left quickly. Her eyes were filled with mist and her chest was in pain.
She nearly killed him.
Ever since she could remember, the prince had always been with her. When she was happy, he would laugh with her; when she was sad, he would cheer her up.
He would find a way to give her something she liked.
He also taught her to read and write.
He would also ignore his status as the prince and secretly disguise himself to go out with her.
In her heart, he was like a brother and she had long regarded him as her closest relative.
She hoped that Nan Jiao could cure him, not only to end her identity as a fake crown princess, but also to hope that he could live a healthy life without suffering from illness.
But she almost pushed him into hell with her own hands.
Nan Jiao did not chase after him. She guessed that what happened next had nothing to do with her and the prince would handle it.
…
When Zhan Yeyuan saw Feng coming in, he had a warm smile on his face. When he saw her eyes were red, he frowned and asked, "Who made you cry?"
Feng walked gently to the bed and knelt down, "Your Highness, punish me, I am the one who... "
"Think it over carefully before you speak!" Zhan Yeyuan's voice was as cool as water, yet it carried a sense of intimidation and oppression.
"I, I, beg Your Highness not to investigate the person who poisoned me this time." Feng met his eyes gently, feeling a little scared, and didn't dare to lie anymore.
He has been good to her since she was a child.
But when it comes to seriousness, she is also afraid.
"Is that person important to you? You knelt down and begged me for him." There was disappointment on Zhan Yeyuan's pale face and an indescribable bitterness in his chest.
It turns out that there is someone more important in his heart.
He actually didn't know it all along.
"He is more important than my life. Even if Your Highness kills me, I won't tell." Feng bit her red lips lightly and said with a firm expression.
A hint of coldness flashed across Zhan Yeyuan's eyes. His heart was stabbed hard, causing indescribable sharp pain. He laughed bitterly at himself in his heart.
In her heart, the other person is more important to him.
He always thought that he was the person she depended on the most, but now it seemed that he just thought so.
"You get out."
"Your Highness, please..." Feng Qingqing looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed with needles. She knew very well how much her actions hurt him.
But she also wants to protect that person.
"I can find a scapegoat, but on one condition."
"You say."
"I want you to stay by my side forever, until I die." Zhan Yeyuan looked into her eyes and spoke loudly, word by word.
Would she kill him in order to escape?
Feng Qingqing's eyes widened, and tears as big as beans fell from her eyes. "Okay, I promise Your Highness that I will take good care of you in the future."
She had hurt him.
He also promised her not to pursue the matter further. No matter what she was dissatisfied with, she couldn't have all the good things happen to her.
"Go out." Zhan Yeyuan said without looking at her. His face was full of fatigue. The piercing pain and coldness spread throughout his body, making him feel like dying.
Feng looked at his cold profile gently, her chest aching, tears falling like beads from a broken string, and she turned around and left quickly.
When Zhan Beiheng came over, he saw Feng Qingqing running away with tears on her face.
He frowned.
What did Jiang Nanjiao tell her?
"Brother." Zhan Beiheng walked into the inner hall.
"Go to the prison and find a criminal to pretend to be the one who poisoned the person, and give an explanation to your grandfather and father." Zhan Yeyuan said calmly.
"You want to protect my sister-in-law?" Zhan Beiheng frowned.
"She is just a fool who was used." There was a cold light in Zhan Yeyuan's eyes.
Zhan Beiheng's handsome face darkened, and he said coldly, "So you won't hold the person who took advantage of her this time?"
"No." Zhan Yeyuan's lips curled up slightly.
Rather than pursuing the person she was protecting now, he wanted her to stay by his side until the day he died.
"Brother..." Zhan Beiheng called out in a deep voice with a cold face.
"Just because we don't investigate this time doesn't mean we won't investigate next time. Do you think big brother will let off someone who dares to take advantage of me?" Zhan Yeyuan had an elegant and harmless smile on his face.
The coldness on Zhan Beiheng's face gradually faded away, "I understand."
Zhan Yeyuan looked at him with a smile, "You should come to my place less recently and pay more attention to the things in your own backyard. Luo Jinshuang, what are you going to do?"
"I only have one princess and I won't marry her." Zhan Beiheng said seriously without hesitation.
"Nan Jiao seems very reluctant to be your princess."
"She has no vision. You should have a good rest. I'm going back now." Zhan Beiheng felt inexplicably unhappy. That damn woman left without even telling him.
Zhan Beiheng: “…”
He sighed inwardly, hoping that his brother would be luckier than him.
…
Prince Jin's Palace.
As soon as Nan Jiao returned to the yard, she saw Baoer and Youyou teasing Erha in the yard.
Erha is the wolf cub that Zhan Beiheng gave to me last time.
Of course she couldn't call it Jiaojiao, so she named it Erha, because it looks a little bit like a Husky.
"If you keep touching it, it might become bald one day." Nan Jiao walked up and said jokingly.
Erha: “…”
You are right!
Baoer blinked and said mischievously, "It's not that difficult. Give it the medicine given by the graduate students and it will surely grow back."
Yoyo nodded in agreement.
Nan Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little girl even knew about hair growth drugs.
At this time, a figure walked in and ran straight to Youyou's side, "Young Master, why are you here? Hurry and go back with me."
Yoyo shook his head, indicating that he was unwilling to leave.
He liked playing with Bao Er and wanted to see Aunt Nan, so he didn't want to go back to Zhuyue Pavilion.
"Young Master, Zhuyue Pavilion is where you should stay. Let's go quickly." Su Lan said as she stretched out her hand to take him away by force.
Nan Jiao stepped forward and blocked Youyou behind her. "He is the young master of the palace. The entire palace belongs to him. He can stay wherever he wants!"
