Suddenly, Zhao Yuan was disappointed. He slowly let go of Leng Changxi, his expression became colder and colder, and there was a flash of hatred in his eyes, which shocked Leng Changxi.
There was something wrong with the medicine, the idea suddenly flashed through Leng Changxi's mind. But the medicine was given to her by Chen Shaoxuan, and she firmly believed that Chen Shaoxuan would not frame her.
Seeing Zhao Yuan's increasingly cold face, Leng Changxi panicked in her heart. She hurriedly explained: "Brother Yuan, listen to me, that medicine is just an ordinary laxative, and the amount I gave Qingtao was not large.
, so just ask a doctor. I know what I did was wrong, but that, too..."
The more Leng Changxi explained, the more confused she got, and the colder Zhao Yuan looked at her.
Finally, Zhao Yuan sneered: "Laxative? Let me ask you, where did you get that medicine?"
Hearing the disdain in Zhao Yuan's tone, Leng Changxi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
The source of the medicine was Chen Shaoxuan, but she was determined not to talk about it at this time. Before the matter was clear, she did not want to drag Chen Shaoxuan into this muddy water.
"I bought it for self-defense on the road." Leng Changxi could only explain it this way.
When he heard that the medicine belonged to Leng Changxi, Zhao Yuan felt even more chilled. He sneered twice: "Xiao Bao'er, are you so intolerant of him? I have never broken my promise to you, so why are you so afraid?
Just because he used you to force me to marry Guo Wanrou, are you going to give him arsenic?"
Zhao Yuan's questions hit Leng Changxi's heart hard, making her dumbfounded.
"What? Arsenic!" Leng Changxi's mind suddenly went blank, like five thunders hitting her head, her ears were buzzing, her eyes were staring in disbelief, and her body was trembling violently.
Leng Changxi shook her head gently, opened her eyes in horror, and muttered: "No, no, no, it shouldn't be arsenic..."
Even a stupid person knows that the consequences of poisoning a prince will definitely not be easy. She is not a fool, how could she seriously do such a thing. The medicine was given to her by Chen Shaoxuan. A possibility suddenly floated in her mind, but
She was immediately dismissed. She recalled the scene when Chen Shaoxuan was stabbed for her. His intentions were not fake. Since he was so desperate to save her, he would not harm her! She had an inexplicable feeling towards Chen Shaoxuan.
absolute trust.
But if it wasn’t Chen Shaoxuan, then who would it be?
She staggered back twice, and Leng Changxi stretched out her hand to hold the edge of the table. The shock in her heart was not only caused by the arsenic, but also because of Zhao Yuan's words, "Because he used you to force me to marry Guo Wanrou."
, so you’re going to give him arsenic?”
It turned out that this was the purpose of King Xi. He thought deeply, while using a gentle policy to make her give in, while at the same time controlling himself to force Zhao Yuan. But Zhao Yuan did not believe her so much.
"It's not arsenic, what is it? The medicine belongs to you, and you ordered it! You said it's not arsenic, what is it?!" Zhao Yuan clenched her fists, her voice almost roaring.
"Brother Yuan, didn't you say that as long as I say it's not me, you will believe it?" Leng Changxi felt a trace of sadness in her heart.
"But didn't you say it was you who did it? How do you expect me to believe it?" Zhao Yuan's eyes were red with pain.
"Brother Yuan, do you just distrust me so much?" Leng Changxi's frown was stained with helplessness and sourness.
"How do you expect me to believe this?" Zhao Yuan slowly turned around and stopped looking at her.
"King Xi, what's wrong with him?" Leng Changxi laughed at herself and asked this sentence with difficulty.
In fact, she already knew the answer in her mind. If something hadn't happened, Zhao Yuan would never have come back, and he would never have asked such a question. However, King Xi has not shown up until now.
"My father is dead and was poisoned by you. Are you satisfied?" Zhao Yuan's voice was filled with pain and a hint of sarcasm.
Although she had already guessed the ending, Leng Changxi still couldn't help but take a breath and slowly closed her eyes, closing the trace of struggle in her eyes.
"If I said that I was framed, would you believe it?" After a long time, Leng Changxi's voice came vaguely.
Zhao Yuan's heart moved slightly, but when he thought of the stiff corpse lying on the couch, anger swallowed up his reason: "Framed? Where is the evidence?"
"Evidence?" Leng Changxi's eyes became a little erratic and she trembled slightly. The only person who could prove her was Chen Shaoxuan. However, the situation is unclear now. If Chen Shaoxuan was rashly revealed, not only would she not be able to clear away the suspicion, but she would even
It might drag Chen Shaoxuan out of this quagmire: "I don't know."
This is the only thing Leng Changxi can answer now, but it sounds extremely ironic to Zhao Yuan's ears. The woman he loves killed his respected father, and was framed in the end. Do you want him to accept it calmly?
?
"There is no evidence, how can you defend your innocence?" Zhao Yuan was heartbroken. At this moment, he was receiving the bad news of his father's death, and the double blow that his beloved might be the murderer. Therefore, his normally clear mind became confused.
Reason was completely defeated by family affection and love.
"Brother Yuan, I know you are sad, but please wake up. I was really framed!" Leng Changxi became more and more anxious, but became more and more powerless.
"Whether it was framed or not, let me wait until I have thoroughly investigated it!" Zhao Yuan's voice suddenly turned cold: "Here comes someone!"
With a majestic call, two guards outside the door immediately pushed the door open and entered: "Master Yuan, what are your orders?"
"Put Leng Changxi in the dungeon!" Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. His voice was neither cold nor hot, without any emotion.
When Leng Changxi heard this, she felt mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Zhao Yuan was overwhelmed by the pain of losing his father. When he calmed down, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. However, she still felt a faint pain in her heart because of Zhao Yuan's distrust.
And it hurts.
The two soldiers walked up behind her, as if they were dragging her away. Leng Changxi shook off their hands, took a deep breath, looked straight ahead with clear eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"I can walk by myself!"
Then, she walked away resolutely. When she passed by Zhao Yuan, she paused and looked at him deeply. There were too many things in her eyes, like disappointment, like missing, like blaming, like understanding, like
Comforting, sad, aggrieved...
Zhao Yuan never opened his eyes, so he didn't catch her glance. But after a pause, she raised her feet again and walked out without looking back.
When Zhao Yuan slowly opened his eyes again, he only had time to see that resolute back. His heart ached, and he clenched his fists, trembling: "Little Bao'er, Little Bao'er..."
The murmurs sounded like accusations and longing. Butler Zhao, who was not far away, couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes as he watched.
