Chapter 116: Questioning
Cheng Jingjing sat silently on the soft collapse for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, her brain was blank, and the memories of the past came to her heart like a river, and she only felt that the whole world was turned upside down, as if a black hand was invisibly pinching her neck, making her head explode and about to suffocate.
"Someone ...... coming"
She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Drag this dog slave down and give him a hundred strokes of the rod." ā
"The princess spares her life!!" Wei Quan didn't expect her to backtrack, and suddenly wailed: "You just said that you would spare the life of the minion, and the minion will die if you beat it with this stick!" ā
"Did I say I'm going to spare your dog's life?" Cheng Jingjing said with a cold gaze: "What I promised was to cure your mother's illness, and I didn't say that you would not die." If you dare to harm my child, I will give you your life back. ā
"The slave knows that he is wrong, you can spare me once! The slave still has a family to take care of, so he can't just go like this! ā
The guards stepped forward and dragged Wei Quan down, and the screams echoed in the air, scaring everyone into danger.
Cheng Jingjing stood up from her seat, but she didn't expect her legs to be weak and almost collapsed. Huapan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and asked cautiously: "Aunt executed that dog slave, do you want to tell the prince about this?" ā
"Don't do it yet," Cheng Jingjing said with a hollow look in her eyes: "Before closing the matter, I want to ask her in person why she did this to me." ā
"How could it be Mrs. Wen......" Yue Xi said sadly on the side: "Mrs. Wen and Aunt are so good, is that Wei Quan talking nonsense, someone must have instructed him to spread rumors......
"Whether it's her or not, I'll have to go over and ask for clarification."
Cheng Jingjing tightened the clothes on her body, although it was dog days at this time, she was as cold as falling into an ice cellar. She had to hear the man say to her before she believed that she was the one who killed her child.
He couldn't bear to see her being hit like this, and asked, "Auntie, do you want the slave to accompany you?" ā
"No," Cheng Jingjing said stubbornly: "This is a matter between us, and no one else should interfere." ā
The painter sighed and said, "Then please be careful with your aunt, don't get angry and hurt your body, no matter what happens, your body is the most important." ā
Cheng Jingjing nodded and walked towards the other side of the Youlan Courtyard alone.
She walked silently in the winding corridor, although the road was not far, but it seemed to have walked a lifetime. She didn't know why Wen Miao wanted to treat her like that, let alone why Wen Miao hated her children so much. She had long regarded Wen Miao as her dearest, and even at this time, she still prayed in her heart that what Wei Quan said was a lie.
"Squeak-"
Cheng Jingjing came to the door of Wen Miao's room and stretched out her hand to push the door open.
"Jingjing?" At this time, Wen Miao was sitting at the table drinking medicine, and she gently reproached her as usual: "Why did you get out of bed if you didn't take care of your body, come and sit here." ā
Cheng Jingjing walked up to her with heavy steps, and instead of chatting with her intimately like before, she asked word by word: "Did you ask Wei Quan to set a trap on the stairs in the library pavilion and cause me an accident?" ā
"Bang-"
The porcelain bowl in Wen Miao's hand fell, and it swayed around the table a few times.
"Who are you listening to nonsense?" She was already panicking in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Who is Wei Quan, I have never known this person, where did you hear the gossip?" ā
"Wei Quan has already told me everything," Seeing that Wen Miao was extremely nervous, Cheng Jingjing's heart also sank, and she said numbly: "I just want to know why you are doing this to me, is it because I am with the prince?" ā
She waited for Wen Miao to tell her those words in person, so as to break the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
"Jingjing, forgive me once!"
Suddenly, Wen Miao knelt on the ground with a thud, she hugged Cheng Jingjing's feet and cried bitterly: "What I don't want to do is Zhuang Hanxue, she forced me to do all this!" ā
"Zhuang Hanxue?" Cheng Jingjing was like a thunderbolt from the sky, she was trembling with anger: "You know that woman is not a good person, why do you want to collude with her?!" ā
"She found me that day and threatened me to do what she said," Wen Miao cried profusely: "She said that if I didn't do what she said, I would die a tragic death outside the palace." I was afraid of her, so I did what she told me for a while. But I really don't know about Wei Quan, if I knew that she was going to poison you like that, I wouldn't agree to her no matter what! ā
After listening to her words, Cheng Jingjing's heart was mixed for a while. She was relieved that Wen Miao was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and she was angry that Wen Miao was willing to be used by Zhuang Hanxue in order to save her life.
It's just that everyone is an animal who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so what right does she have to blame Wen Miao for doing something wrong?
Seeing a shaken look on Cheng Jingjing's face, Wen Miao was secretly happy in her heart, and continued to cry: "If I knew that this would kill the child in your belly, I would rather die myself than do something like that!" Jingjing, I know you hate me, I'll give you my life back now! ā
She suddenly got up and smashed the porcelain bowl, picking up a piece and placing it across her neck.
"What are you going to do?!" Cheng Jingjing hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "The child is dead, can he come back if you die?!" ā
"Then how can you forgive me......" Wen Miao cried: "I also hate myself, since you didn't have a fetus in your womb, I have nightmares every night, dreaming that he is coming to me for revenge...... I thought that I could force Long Yu'er away by doing that, but who would have thought that even you would be harmed! ā
"You tricked Long Yu'er into going to the Book Pavilion that night?" Cheng Jingjing said in a deep voice: "She didn't lie in front of the prince that day, did she?" ā
"Well," Wen Miao sobbed and said, "I really hate her, Zhuang Hanxue said that she could leave the palace, so I did it." I'm sorry I slandered you like that in my letter, but you'd better let me die......"
"You-"
Cheng Jingjing scolded her at this time, not beating her, let alone letting her cut her throat and commit suicide, saying that all this was a conspiracy of Zhuang Hanxue's vicious woman, and Wen Miao and Long Yuer were just her flags and victims.
She slapped the porcelain piece in Wen Miao's hand, and said helplessly: "Today, I will pretend that I haven't heard anything, and I won't tell the prince about it." It's just that from now on, Zhuang Hanxue will threaten you with her life again, and you must tell me as soon as possible. The children are gone, and I don't want to see anyone leave me anymore. ā
"That'...... Will you forgive me? Wen Miao looked at her with teary eyes.
āā¦ā¦ I want to be alone. ā
Cheng Jingjing staggered to the door, turned her face sideways and said to her: "If I were someone else today, I would have already sent her back to the West with a sword, but that person is you, and I don't want you to leave me." ā
