Ye Jinghong's hand holding the dinner plate slowly tightened, and his knuckles turned white.
How could Master Kongchen's behavior just now be like that of a monk?
Could it be...
Did he have the idea of returning to secular life because of Miss Shen?
Ye Jinghong's face turned pale in an instant.
He lowered his eyes to stare at the plate in his hand, and carried it with unsteady steps to his meditation room.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he ran into Shen Qingyan, who was also in a state of anxiety.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw the plate in Ye Jinghong's hand.
Twisting her handkerchief nervously, she took a step forward and asked tentatively, "Master Ye, why aren't you eating in the dining hall?"
Ye Jinghong curled his lips in self-mockery.
"I met a young monk on the way. I think he was delivering vegetarian food for Miss You."
"But she doesn't seem to need me."
He lowered his eyelashes. "I never thought that the indifferent Master Kongchen would care so much about Miss You, even wanting to have a meal with her."
But think about it.
Who could refuse her?
Shen Qingyan's face turned pale and she almost lost her footing and fell to the ground.
This is Shen Zhiyi’s vegetarian meal!
The poison inside was put there by her own hands!
How could Shen Zhiyi be so lucky that she managed to avoid all this!
Shen Qingyan bit her lips so hard that her eyes were bloodshot.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Jinghong looked at her strangely.
Seeing that Shen Qingyan didn't answer, he shook his head. Just as he was about to walk towards the meditation room, she suddenly rushed up and knocked the dinner plate to the ground!
The vegetarian food fell all over the floor.
Shen Qingyan's chest heaved, and he barely managed to stand by holding on to the stone table beside him.
“I can’t eat it…I can’t eat it…”
She muttered in a daze, one hand tightly gripping the edge of the stone table until her knuckles turned white.
Ye Jinghong just thought she was sick.
"What's wrong with you?!" He glanced at the vegetarian food on the ground.
As soon as I took a look, I was stunned for a moment.
A small insect crawled over, took two bites of the vegetarian food, and then fell to the ground in an instant, dead.
He was horrified!
Take a step back instantly!
"This, this food... is poisonous?!" Ye Jinghong looked up in shock and looked at Shen Qingyan.
Thinking of her abnormal behavior just now, he immediately understood.
"You were the one who poisoned me?!"
He was shocked and angry, "How dare you poison Miss... She is your sister!"
"Sister?" Shen Qingyan sneered as if she had been stabbed. "She has a humble background, but she wants to snatch everything from me."
"Do you know how much I've suffered because of her since I was a child?"
"I am obviously the legitimate daughter!"
"She's just a concubine's daughter, how can she be considered my sister?"
Ye Jinghong looked at her in shock, "I didn't expect you to be such a vicious woman..."
"In this important place of Buddhism, even they dare to commit the sin of killing."
He said that he wanted to walk.
Shen Qingyan rushed forward in a hurry and grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going? Are you going to report me?"
"I'm telling you, you were the one who brought the vegetarian meal over!"
"If you expose this, you won't be able to clear yourself of suspicion!" She steeled her heart and gritted her teeth, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values Shen Zhiyi so much. If he knew that this vegetarian meal was poisoned, would you and I still be alive?!"
Ye Jinghong froze on the ground.
She is right.
Master Kongchen saw the vegetarian meal he brought with his own hands!
Even if it is found out that he was not the one who poisoned him, the prince will not forgive him!
even……
I will expose this to His Majesty and ruin his future!
Ye Jinghong suddenly felt dizzy.
Seeing him wavering, Shen Qingyan cried softly, "Master Ye, if I were truly a vicious person, how could I have upset this vegetarian meal?"
"I did all this for you!"
"I don't want you to get hurt even a little bit..."
"If you hadn't devoted yourself to Shen Zhiyi and hadn't thought about getting engaged to her, I wouldn't have done this..." Shen Qingyan twisted her handkerchief, tears falling, "In the final analysis, it's all because I value you..."
