No one born in the imperial family was stupid. She already felt that Qi Zaoyu's sudden death, Imperial Concubine Qi's sudden illness after returning to the palace, and Imperial Father's tight-lipped refusal to ask about what happened that day were all very strange. After hearing Ning Shu's words today, she quickly came up with a guess, "Could it be that she wanted to avenge me …"
In a sense, this was not wrong. Ning Shu did not deny it. Poison Imperial Concubine Qi wanted to avenge Wen Cairen, and Qi Zaoyu was also involved in the plot. It was not without the intention of paving the way for Xiao Zhangping.
Xiao Zhangping covered her eyes and cried silently. Large drops of tears fell through the gaps between her fingers and fell to the ground, wetting the soil. Her heart was filled with sorrow and guilt, but after hearing about Old Princess Consort Yu's sudden death, her empty heart seemed to be filled with a lot of love, so she did not look around blankly, as if she was in an ice cave. After a long time, she stopped crying, "What do you want to ask? Ask, if I know."
After confirming that there was no one around, Ning Shu said, "May I ask Your Highness, did Old Princess Consort Yu mention something called the plum blossom kiss to you when she was alive?"
Xiao Zhangping wiped her tears and shook her head, "What is that? I have never heard of it. "Her expression was very blank, and did not seem to be fake.
Ning Shu continued to ask, "Or is it related to plum blossoms?"
Xiao Zhangping lowered her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head, "No, she did not like plum blossoms, and there are no decorations related to plum blossoms in the fu. Oh, right, there seems to be a painting of the four gentlemen in the parlor, but isn't that a very rare and ordinary painting? I did not notice anything different about it. "
Ning Shu refused to give up and asked again, "Then in the words she has said to you recently, is there anything different from the past that has caught your attention?"
Xiao Zhangping's heart skipped a beat and her eyes filled with tears again. She clutched her chest and said intermittently, "That period of time was when Qi Juanyu went missing in Wenfang Hall and went crazy after being framed. No matter if it was in the palace or in the marketplace, there were rumors that it was my doing. Even Fuhuang was colder to me than usual. I was very depressed and washed my face with tears every day. Only she patiently comforted me and accompanied me every day. I was in such a bad mood that I didn't notice anything unusual about her. I only remember that on the night before her accident, it was already late at night, but she didn't leave. She hugged me on her lap like when I was young and caressed my back. She even sang me a nursery rhyme that used to coax me to sleep. In my daze, I seemed to hear her whisper in my ear that everything would be all right when I woke up. But I didn't expect that when I really woke up, she was already … already … I was so stupid. I wasted her love for me … "
Ning Shu racked her brains again and thought of many questions to try to make her remember something useful. Unfortunately, it all ended in failure. Ning Shu rubbed her temples and shut her mouth. She was extremely depressed.
Xiao Zhangping thought for a moment and said, "Is the thing that you want to know very important to the heir?"
Ning Shu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Yes, very, very, very important. I have no way to ask anyone for help. I can only ask Your Highness for help. "
Xiao Zhangping said, "I understand. I will go back and think about it carefully. I will also look for the things that Old Princess Yu left at my place. If I find it, I will tell you as soon as possible. "
Ning Shu took a step back and clasped her hands together. She bowed deeply to her, "Many thanks, Your Highness."
