After a short moment of shock, Xiao Zhangping calmed down. He leaned over and deliberately threatened, "Why are you here? This is the crime of deceiving the monarch! Aren't you afraid that I will immediately call for people to escort you to Imperial Father and sentence you to be beheaded? "
Her identity had been exposed. Ning Shu had nothing to be afraid of. She smiled slightly and said, "Because I know that although Your Highness is known for being flamboyant, your heart is actually very soft. Because you have experienced pain that many people have never experienced, you always have a compassionate heart. Just like the palace servants around you, you could obviously beat and scold them, but you never did. Even if you didn't get along with Fourth Young Miss Qi before, when she was almost stung by a poisonous bee next to the Imperial Garden's Supreme Liquid Pool, you didn't think of the previous grudge at all and instead saved her. This is something that Ning Shu can't compare to. Therefore, Ning Shu believes that even if I tell Your Highness my identity, Your Highness won't have the heart to kill Ning Shu. "
Xiao Zhangping raised his eyebrows, "How do you know about the Supreme Liquid Pool?"
Ning Shu rubbed the tip of her nose embarrassedly, "On the day of the incident, the little eunuch who visited Your Highness' palace was also me."
"You are simply …" Xiao Zhangping was dumbfounded. After a moment, he sighed, "Forget it. You helped me with that case. The people all say that my temperament is overbearing and presumptuous, but in fact, the most presumptuous one is you. You dare to pretend to be anyone and do anything. If I had your courage, perhaps Imperial Father wouldn't push the matter of the political marriage to me. "
Ning Shu said, "Your Highness is pure and kind, and you don't want to implicate others, so you didn't refuse."
Xiao Zhangping glanced at her and snorted, "No matter how sweet your mouth is, you must answer my questions one by one. If you don't answer one question, I won't tell you what that thing is."
Who would have thought that the pure little princess who was willing to trust the truth with a few words would turn into a little fox in the blink of an eye? Ning Shu sighed in her heart and could only say, "Ning Shu doesn't dare to hide anything."
"First of all, the Plum Blossom Kiss is extremely poisonous. Your Highness should know that I have been engaged to three different husbands."
Xiao Zhangping nodded. "That kind of unprecedented matter, there's probably no one in the capital who doesn't know about it."
Ning Shu was speechless at her straightforward "praise". She could only shed a tear of sympathy for herself and then continued, "My first husband, Young General Song, died on the battlefield. His body was not found, so I won't tell you for now. Her second husband was the third son of the Qi family, Qi Huaijin, who died of a sudden illness before their wedding. Her third husband, Cloud Leaf, also met with misfortune a few days ago. He was almost poisoned to death by Yu Zao, a brothel girl who pretended to be Consort Nguyễn. Outsiders did not know the details, but in reality, they were all poisoned by the same poison called Plum Blossom Kiss. That's why I said that this poison was actually closely related to me. Although it wasn't used on me, anyone who was related to me could be harmed by it. Even my family was prophesied when I was ten years old that they would all be cursed to death by me. This is the origin of the story of me being a jinx to the heavens, cursing the entire family. "
Xiao Zhangping was shocked when she heard this. She thought for a while and said, "Then what does this poison have to do with Old Princess Yu?"
Ning Shu paused for a moment. Then she walked in front of Xiao Zhangping and stretched out her hand. Stroke by stroke, she wrote two words: Consort Qi.
"Princess probably doesn't know that the strange poison in her body is actually the same kind." Ning Shu looked deeply into Xiao Zhangping's eyes. Her voice was even softer than the wind, but it caused Xiao Zhangping's expression to immediately change.
After learning this kind of unspeakable secret, Xiao Zhangping tightly gripped her dress and walked back and forth in front of the railing. Her heart was in a mess. She wasn't stupid. After thinking carefully, she could understand the meaning of Ning Shu's words. Consort Qi, Plum Blossom Kiss, Old Princess Yu. There was no need to say much about the meaning behind these words. It made her so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She walked back and forth for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped. She turned around and looked at Ning Shu with a piercing gaze, "That day at Xuan Qing Temple, the person who solved the case, was it you?"
