Xia Luotong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Wu Zechen had been caring about her own affairs and had been silently guarding her from behind. It also made her feel protected for the first time, and even made her feel protected for the first time. I saw some peace of mind.
Her heart gradually warmed up, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She looked at him seriously and said: "I don't want to be a beautiful but useless vase beside you, but I will try to trust you more, and also I hope you can trust me. If we really want to live together in the future, I hope we will bear everything together."
Although she has never had this experience, she understands that if only one of the parties is endlessly giving and taking on everything, then sooner or later the relationship will become unbalanced and even difficult to maintain.
Looking at her sincere eyes, this was the first time that she had faced up to and mentioned the matter between them, which showed that she had gradually recognized their relationship, and even slowly opened her heart to him.
A strong joy surged in her heart, and her expression became gentler. He raised his hand to caress her delicate eyebrows, and there was a deep affection in his eyes.
This time, she did not dodge. Although her cheeks were as red as the sunset, her watery eyes looked into his eyes persistently.
"Okay, I promise you." He responded to her gaze, solemnly and sincerely, "If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me directly, and I will definitely tell you everything."
Xia Luotong knew that his promise was very heavy, and it also meant that he was ready to fully reveal himself to her, including his past, everything he carried, and even his hidden secrets. Power, he was ready to let her know.
This surprised her, and at the same time, she felt that he valued her. But at the moment, she was most concerned about one thing. After receiving his promise, she hesitated to speak: "The time you spent is passing, but Did that person do it?”
She raised her finger and pointed to the sky, without saying it directly, but she knew that he could understand what she meant. In fact, she had already had this guess in her mind, but because this matter may have extensive implications and involve many secrets, so Never asked about it.
She felt that if two people decided to spend their lives together, then there were some things they had to understand.
Obviously Wu Zechen thought so too, so he didn't hide anything and said calmly: "He probably didn't do it, but he definitely knew about it. Even if he didn't participate in it, he acquiesced and condoned it."
Xia Luotong frowned and continued to ask: "Then do you know anything about this poisoner?"
Wu Zechen nodded, gently held up her little hand, and wrote two words on her palm: Queen.
Xia Luotong only felt itchy in his palms, but his heart felt cold. Being treated like this by his closest relatives, I'm afraid he felt uncomfortable when he first knew the truth.
She suddenly discovered that the two of them actually had a lot in common, both of them had poisoned their relatives in this way...
After he wrote these two words on her palm, he continued: "She was the one who used the medicine to induce the poison in my body these few times. It was related to her every time, and not only her, her son obviously also knew This matter."
Her son? That is the current prince!
Xia Luotong suddenly realized, thinking of the stiff relationship between him and the prince, and the things the prince's party had done to him, including asking herself to marry him, all of them were connected in series.
"But because of the Western military power controlled by the palace?" She immediately thought of the key point.
Sure enough, Wu Zechen nodded, and Xia Luotong looked at his indifferent expression when he mentioned this matter, but his heart felt cold, and he even felt sorry for him for the first time.
He was only five years old when he was poisoned. Obviously, the military power could not be in his hands, but in the hands of the emperor's biological brother and the queen mother's youngest son, Prince Lao An. Therefore, the reason why he was poisoned was actually for the sake of Prince Lao An went there because he wanted to cut off the palace's queen so that he could take back the palace's military power.
He was treated so ruthlessly, let alone Prince Lao An himself?
Xia Luotong felt that it was probably no accident that Prince Lao An suddenly died of illness when he was in his prime. There might be some hidden reason behind it, but it was not easy for her to ask about it yet.
She looked at him with rare tenderness and said in a soft tone: "They are not worthy of being your relatives. Fortunately, you still have the Queen Mother."
She could see that the Queen Mother really loved him as her royal grandson, and she probably didn't know that the truth about his poisoning was so cruel. They were all her descendants, but...
"Fortunately, I still have you." He said.
The infinite tenderness in his eyes made her blush suddenly. Looking at her gorgeous face, he couldn't help but hug her into his arms, and she shyly responded to his hug...
After dinner, she slept for a while as usual to rest her mind. If there was any difference from the past, it was that she fell asleep under his watch. No matter what she said, he insisted on waiting until she fell asleep before leaving. , she could only let him go.
After waking up in the evening, Xia Luotong was washed by Zhuxuan. As soon as he sat down at the dressing table, Wu Manying entered the room and reported what Xia Luotong had asked him to do in the evening.
"Princess, my servant just took advantage of the night to sneak into the De Medical Center and carefully checked the warehouse where they store the medicinal materials. As you expected, some of the medicinal materials are really problematic!" Wu Manying said with some excitement. reported back.
After receiving the confirmation, Xia Luotong raised a sarcastic smile on her lips, and immediately assigned Wu Manying another task, which only attracted her more and more excited eyes, and she nodded in agreement.
Just after noon the next day, when there were the most people on the street, an old man about fifty years old came out from the door of Zhang De Medical Center, carrying a few paper bags of medicine in his hand, and was hurriedly preparing to leave. .
However, as soon as he stepped onto the street, he bumped into an old woman who happened to be passing by. Both of them let out an "ouch" and staggered several steps before they regained their balance. Although the force of the collision was not small, it seemed that No one was injured at all.
However, the medicine bag that the old man was originally carrying fell to the ground. One of the bags of herbs may have broken through the oil paper bag, and the medicinal materials inside were scattered on the floor.
After the two apologized to each other, there was no dispute. Seeing that nothing happened, the pedestrians who had stopped were ready to disperse. However, what people didn't expect was that the matter did not end there.
The old man was bending over to pick up the medicinal materials on the ground. However, he suddenly frowned while picking up the medicinal materials. He suddenly brought a few medicinal materials to his eyes and examined them carefully. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and pointed at the door of the medical center. Swear!
