She didn't expect Xiao Zhangping to be so sharp and have already guessed the gist of the matter. Facing Xiao Zhangping's piercing gaze, Ning Shu fell silent. "It's me."
Xiao Zhangping's face turned pale.
"Then, the person who caused Old Consort Yu's death is also you!!!"
When she told Xiao Changping those words, Ning Shu had already mentally prepared herself. But when faced with such hatred, as if she was staring at an enemy, Ning Shu still felt stifled. No matter how righteous her reasons were, she couldn't deny that if she hadn't exposed Old Consort Yu that day, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Furthermore, to Xiao Zhangping, who was in a huge rage, every word of her explanation was just sophistry. Thus, she could only lower her eyes slightly and accept Xiao Zhangping's monstrous hatred.
Immersed in intense sorrow, Xiao Zhangping clenched her fists tightly and rushed in front of Ning Shu, questioning, "Do you know?! Do you know that she is the only person who loves me the most in the world?! You solved the case and cleared my name, but … you also caused the death of the most important person to me! "
Xiao Zhangping cursed as tears streamed down her face. "I'd rather … rather be suspected by others. I'd rather my mother's death never be avenged! I also hope that she can live … You murderer! Murderer! "
Ning Shu took out the handkerchief and handed it over. She slapped it away forcefully and it fell into the wind. In the end, it fell into the endless waves of the Chaobai River ten zhang below.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the splashing white waves were as fine as silver. On the other side of the river, the market was still bustling with people. A passionate flower seller inserted a blooming jasmine flower into the hair of a child, causing a string of bell-like laughter. On the Chasing Cloud Chasing Moon Chasing Tower, Xiao Zhangping and Ning Shu were speechless.
"Old Consort Yu's death is indeed related to me. It doesn't matter if Your Highness scolds me or punishes me. Ning Shu will accept it without any objections. I only beg you to let me take a look at that item. Ning Shu thanks you. "Ning Shu took a deep breath and bowed deeply again.
Xiao Zhangping had one hand on the railing as he used his sleeve to wipe away his tears. His eyes were red as he stared at her, "You're still lying to me! Even if you knew that the poison was related to Old Princess Consort Yu, how did you know that she gave me that important item? Also, when you came to find me that day, you repeatedly emphasized that this item is very, very important to the Crown Prince. You didn't look like you were faking it. "
Xiao Zhangping gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Ning Shu, if you still refuse to tell me the whole truth, I will make that thing disappear from this world! I, Xiao Zhangping, will keep my word this time! "
Her decisiveness had forced Ning Shu into a dead end.
Ning Shu looked at the tears in Xiao Zhangping's eyes and muttered to herself for a long time. She then took out the note from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zhangping.
Previously, she guessed that Xiahou Qing didn't want her to meddle in this matter, so she made a copy of the note and put it in the wooden box in advance. The real one was hidden by her and was still in her hands. Now that things had developed to this point, there was no way to hide it anymore.
Looking at the familiar handwriting on the note, Xiao Zhangping's chest heaved violently. Looking at the content, Xiao Zhangping's fingers trembled as she folded the note.
"So it's like this." Xiao Zhangping sneered with her back facing Ning Shu, "Then let Xiahou Shizi marry me! When the time comes, I will naturally give the item to him. That way … I can also escape the fate of a political marriage. "
Ning Shu suddenly raised her head and bit her lip hard, "Ning Shu will try her best to fulfill any request the Princess has. However, forgive Ning Shu for not being able to agree to this matter."
"You don't want to give up anything and just want to take this item from me? Based on what! Don't tell me you're dreaming! " Xiao Zhangping waved his sleeves and flipped the teacup on the table to the ground. The broken pieces of porcelain flew up and left a cut on Ning Shu's cheek.
She subconsciously reached out and wiped it. It was blood.
Xiao Zhangping turned her head and stared at her with gritted teeth. She suddenly thought of something and laughed. She said with a malicious expression, "You just said that you will try your best to fulfill any request I have. Good, then I will give you a chance: Kneel down and beg me! Kneel in front of me and kowtow to me ten times. Ning Shu, are you willing or not? "
