Chapter 927: Shen Yunya Poisons Xi Jin
A little bit of time passed. Upon seeing that almost a quarter of an hour had gone by, Rui’er couldn’t remain calm anymore. To her, Brother Qi and Miss Qi were both very important people. One was her childhood sweetheart and the other was her lifesaver.
She raised her head and looked angrily at Feng Tianlan, who was quietly sipping tea and acting as if she didn’t exist. She became even more anxious.
“It’s been a quarter of an hour now. Have you finished thinking about it?” Feng Tianlan put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Rui’er with a cold expression.
“I…” Rui’er hesitated.
“Shui Jue, issue the order to make dumplings…” Feng Tianlan began to say.
Rui’er interrupted Feng Tianlan anxiously. She trembled as she said, “I agree to your request.”
Brother Qi and her had been dependent on each other ever since they could remember, and her heart ached. For these years, her life had been rocky, and she was always afraid that Niang Niang would discover the existence of Brother Qi and kill him.
Moreover, although she had been an orphan ever since she was a child, Brother Qi had taught her that people couldn’t do things against their conscience. After she did something like that, she felt like she had gone against her conscience and Brother Qi.
“As long as you get things done, your little lover will be fine.” Feng Tianlan curled her lips and smiled lightly. She wasn’t yet ruthless to the extent that she would kill innocent people. Although she wanted revenge, she still had her moral bottom line.
“What do you want me to do?” Rui’er clenched her fists. She had no choice.
“After I died, how did Shen Yunya deal with my corpse?” Feng Tianlan asked coldly as she fixed her sight Rui’er with an icy glare.
Rui’er lowered her head and bit her lower lip. It took a while before she said with difficulty, “I only know that Niang Niang hid your corpse, but I don’t know the exact location.”
“Why did she hide the corpse?” Feng Tianlan’s eyes grew colder. Had Niang Niang hid her corpse so she could gloat in front of Feng Tianlan when she had spare time?
“Niang Niang didn’t say. I don’t know where she hid it.”
Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows and stared at Rui’er coldly. Looking at the beautiful Rui’er, she asked, “How involved were you in that year’s incident?”
“From beginning to end.” Rui’er didn’t deny it. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Feng Tianlan’s gaze seemed to be able to see through her, so she couldn’t tell a lie.
Feng Tianlan looked at her coldly. “What has Shen Yunya done over the years? Tell me everything you know.”
Thinking about what she could say and couldn’t say, Rui’er bit her lips, but she was terrified by Feng Tianlan’s cold eyes. In front of Feng Tianlan, she seemed to be invisible.
Thinking of Brother Qi’s situation, Rui’er hesitated for a while, then began to talk about the past three years.
“The dumplings the Crown Prince ate back then not only contained your flesh, but also a sort of bewitching elixir…” Rui’er explained.
“Bewitching elixir?” Feng Tianlan wondered about what kind of elixir it was, and why she hadn’t heard of it before. It was a pity that Lapis Lazuli wasn’t there, otherwise, she could have asked her what the elixir was.
“Just after taking this elixir, your personality changes drastically. You’ll lose your mind, you’ll become dependent on the first person you see. You’ll put her first, and you’ll have complete trust in that person’s words.”
Feng Tianlan looked at Rui’er in surprise. That was why Xi Jin’s personality had suddenly changed. No matter what Shen Yunya said, he would believe it, and once something happened, he would immediately discuss it with Shen Yunya. It wasn’t because she had died?
“How could she make this kind of evil elixir?” Feng Tianlan’s eyes grew colder, and she couldn’t believe that Shen Yunya would actually give such an elixir to Xi Jin.
“Niang Niang made the elixir back then because she wanted the Crown Prince to fall in love with her at first sight, but for some reason, it failed to work on him. Although the elixir was clearly effective on Young Master Jiang.”
