Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Are All Women So Contradictory?
Feng Qing was performing at the climax when Rong Ling suddenly squinted at her suspiciously, "Have you been so good to me, Prince? I remember you used to wish you could smother me to death."
Feng Qing’s act got stuck at these words, and she looked at Rong Ling in a daze. Had she been discovered? Did Rong Ling discover she was disdainful of him?
As Feng Qing thought about this, she let out a long breath. Well, discovered then discovered, let it be torn apart. Anyway, she was holding the Chief of Staff’s Treasure Sword, her lifesaving grace. Even if Rong Ling knew she despised him and didn’t want to stay, he wouldn’t kill her.
Feng Qing raised her head to look at Rong Ling, only to see Rong Ling’s dark eyes deeply gazing at her, saying, "You’ve said so much, are you afraid that I might betray you in the future, so you’re hesitant to easily decide to stay?"
Feng Qing was petrified. Why couldn’t he think that she simply didn’t want to marry him? He had to assume she was insecure, afraid, and timid. Is it just me, or are all men here egomaniacs?
Forget it, she didn’t want to say more, she would find a chance to leave later.
Feng Qing was too tired to speak, deftly packing away the silver needles from Rong Ling’s body.
Having drunk the medicine for nourishment, and after being treated with silver needles by Feng Qing, Rong Ling felt a bit more energetic. Feng Qing observed him for a moment and said, "I think Prince, you seem to be doing well. How about I prepare a medicinal bath for you to soak in, which would be beneficial for recovery."
After Feng Qing finished speaking, Rong Ling’s pupils narrowed, suddenly opening his mouth, "You wouldn’t take the opportunity to tamper with the medicinal bath and plot against me, Prince, would you?"
Feng Qing speechlessly twitched at the corner of her mouth, but felt a sudden desire to tease Rong Ling. She looked at Rong Ling with a face full of shock, saying, "Prince, how did you know, I, I?"
Feng Qing’s stammering made her seem as if she had indeed done something guilty, causing Rong Ling’s eyes to darken abruptly, cold air seeped from the depths of his pupils, "How dare you?"
However, before he finished his cold voice, Feng Qing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Prince, you really think too much. If I wanted to plot against you, Prince, why would I have saved you earlier?"
Rong Ling understood this logic too, so after listening to Feng Qing’s words, his face looked terrible. Seeing Feng Qing laugh, he, in an instant of anger and shame, glared at her fiercely, gritting his teeth, "Feng Qing, how dare you make fun of me, Prince, do you believe me?"
Before Rong Ling finished speaking, Nan Feng hastily walked in to report the matter. But as soon as Nan Feng entered, he felt the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, so he spoke cautiously.
"Prince, the subordinate has already found out, previously instructing Caiyun to poison you, Prince, was the steward of the Prince Mansion, Lin Cheng. Previously, the subordinate overlooked him, never expecting him?"
Nan Feng couldn’t continue talking, Rong Ling’s face suddenly turned cold, the air was filled with chilling currents, and Rong Ling’s cold, sinister voice slowly emerged.
"Lin Cheng, he dared to betray me, Prince, well, that’s just perfect."
Lin Cheng was someone the late Emperor sent to him, yet he never expected this person would betray him. He would never have thought Lin Cheng would betray him: "Did they find out who instructed him to do this?"
After listening to Rong Ling’s words, Nan Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "As soon as the subordinate found out, he bit his tongue and killed himself."
