Chapter 12: Sister-in-law lied to me
The next day, as soon as Feng Jiuqing opened her eyes, she saw an innocent face.
"Sister-in-law is so lazy that the sun is shining on her buttocks!"
"How did you come?"
Feng Jiuqing asked as she stood up from the ground and moved her neck.
Breakfast had already been delivered, a bowl of white porridge and a steamed bun. Feng Jiuqing picked up the cold white porridge, then picked up the steamed bun and blew the dust on it. She sat on the floor in front of Nangong Yue across the cell, and took a bite first.
I ate some steamed buns, and then drank some porridge.
"I'm hungry, so I'm here!"
It seems that because she ran away secretly, Nangong Yue was only wearing a dress and not a cloak.
"Sister-in-law, Yue'er wants to eat whatever you want to eat!"
Nangong Yue looked at the white porridge and steamed buns in Feng Jiuqing's hands and said.
Feng Jiuqing twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Yue'er can't eat this. This is for my sister-in-law. If Yue'er wants to eat, ask Zizhu to get it for you. There are all kinds of pastries in the kitchen that Yue'er likes to eat."
Nangong Yue removed her eyes from eating and stared at Feng Jiuqing quietly, seeming to be thinking about something.
Feng Jiuqing took a sip of porridge, suddenly remembered something, and looked up at the girl in front of her.
"When you came here, the guards outside didn't stop you?"
Nangong Ling's face suddenly tightened when he mentioned this, he put a finger to his lips, whispered the word "Shh" and said loudly.
"Brother took the doctor to see my father. Yue'er has been hiding behind the big stone. Only when the guard at the door left did Yue'er sneak in."
"Seeing my sister-in-law sleeping, Yue'er wanted to go out, but the guards came back again, and then Yue'er came back too!"
Although Nangong Yue's preface didn't match the postscript, Feng Jiuqing understood it.
After Nangong Yue finished speaking, she seemed to have remembered something and looked at Feng Jiuqing innocently, "Sister-in-law, my brother took the doctor to see my father. Is my father sick like Yue'er?"
Feng Jiuqing thought that the doctor Nangong Yue was talking about should be the White Lotus woman named Wiao Yu.
"Yue'er, your father is ill and you must never say this again!"
Feng Jiuqing reminded.
Although she didn't know why neither the foolish and naive Nangong Yue nor the illustrious Nangong Ling liked the emperor, if Nangong Yue's words were listened to by someone who cared about them, they would definitely be offended.
Although Nangong Yue didn't understand, she still nodded obediently, looked up at the cell in front of her, and asked.
"Why do you want to stay in this smelly place, sister-in-law?"
Feng Jiuqing put the finished porridge bowl on the ground, stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into her mouth, and thought about it.
"Sister-in-law, do you have other things to do while you are here? Wait until sister-in-law finishes doing the things, and you will come out!"
Nangong Yue stared at Feng Jiuqing quietly for a while, then suddenly she sat down on the ground with a sound and started crying loudly.
"Sister-in-law, you lied to me. Sister-in-law, you said you would never lie to Yue'er."
Nangong Lai's actions made Feng Jiuqing freeze on the spot, and a picture flashed in her mind.
It was a sunny summer. Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the original owner Feng Jiuqing was lying comfortably on a recliner and reading a book quietly. Nangong Yue and a group of palace maids were playing nearby. When they were tired from playing, they ran away sweating profusely.
When he came to Feng Jiuqing, he clamored for some sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Feng Jiuqing said softly while wiping the sweat on Nangong Yue's forehead with a handkerchief.
"Didn't I say I did it for you? My sister-in-law said she would never deceive Yue'er!"
Feng Jiuqing thought that the original owner was willing to hide the identity of the young master of the Western Regions for the sake of his beloved, and came to Dayan in the name of a princess to get married. He might have been hypocritical to everyone, but he was sincere to Nangong Yue only.
Maybe it's because of the title of princess, or maybe it's because of guilt towards Nangong Ling.
Nangong Yue's cries quickly attracted the guards outside, as well as Zizhu who went to get food.
Everyone ran in, frowned and glanced at Feng Jiuqing who was standing in the cell, and then rushed towards Nangong Yue.
"Princess!"
Nangong Yue was still sitting on the ground crying, looking through the crowd at Feng Jiuqing who was standing in the cell, and swallowed her voice.
"They said that my sister-in-law is a bad person and a spy from the Western Regions. My sister-in-law came here and married her brother just to kill him. My sister-in-law not only wanted to kill my brother, but also my father and my grandmother. My brother was poisoned before because of the poison given by my sister-in-law.
My brother poisoned me."
"Princess?"
Zizhu's eyes widened suddenly, and even the guards nearby were all stunned.
"Princess, they are all lying to you."
Zizhu spoke eagerly.
In this world, there are only a handful of people who are kind to Nangong Yue. Apart from the Queen Mother who raised Nangong Yue, she is Nangong Ling, Nangong Yue’s brother from the same mother. Feng Jiuqing is the only one who can make Nangong Yue open her heart and truly
Someone who can show off a girlish smile.
Whether it is true love or false love, in short, Nangong Yue relies heavily on Feng Jiuqing.
Considering that Nangong Yue would be stimulated again by Feng Jiuqing, after Feng Jiuqing's rebellion, the Queen Mother issued an order that no one was allowed to talk about Feng Jiuqing's rebellion in front of Nangong Yue.
Even if Nangong Yue asked about it, he would prevaricate it on the grounds that Feng Jiuqing had returned to the Western Region.
Last night, Nangong Yue broke into the dungeon accidentally, but when she went back, Nangong Yue didn't ask, and Zizhu didn't care.
"Sister-in-law!"
Nangong Yue suddenly stopped crying, sniffed, stood up from the ground, and approached Feng Jiuqing.
"Sister-in-law, was it really you who poisoned my brother?"
Feng Jiuqing pursed her lips tightly, stretched out her hand, followed the cell, wiped away a tear hanging on Nangong Yue's cheek, hesitated for a moment, and then spat out one word from her lips.
"yes!"
Feng Jiuqing clearly felt Nangong Yue's body stiffen, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly, and her body took a step back.
Her hands froze in the air, and her heart felt an inexplicable pain. At this moment, Feng Jiuqing suddenly understood why the original owner made a promise to Nangong Yue that he would never deceive her.
It's not the title of princess, nor is she ashamed of Nangong Ling, but just because of Nangong Yue.
The original owner came to marry as a princess with a heavy responsibility, took the opportunity to gather information, and showed her false identity to everyone, but she could only face the naive Nangong Yue, but she could not say any deceptive words.
Nangong Yue was not stimulated as everyone expected, but looked at Feng Jiuqing calmly.
Feng Jiuqing retracted her hand, thought for a moment, and looked at Nangong Yue seriously.
"Yue'er, there are some things that my sister-in-law can't tell you now. She can only say that it's impossible to judge right or wrong. It's just that the positions are different."
"What is wrong is the greed and insufficiency of human nature. My sister-in-law is the marriage princess who came to Dayan from the Western Region. It is my sister-in-law's duty to collect information. To disobey is disloyal..."
"What a disloyalty!"
A cold voice suddenly interrupted Feng Jiuqing's words.
