Wei Yanzhou hurriedly walked out the door.
Cheng Ning stood there, holding a black oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
The water on the umbrella eaves kept dripping down.
Her grip loosened and Chunhua threw herself to the ground, gasping for air.
For a moment, she really thought she was going to die.
But Cheng Ning's appearance was like a thunderbolt for both her and His Majesty.
"Empress——"
Cheng Ning walked in slowly, her long hair still hanging loose, as if she were sleeping, and she was wearing a red fox cloak.
It was the one that Wei Yanzhou caught for her at the hunting ground.
But such a festive color could not bring out any color on Cheng Ning's face.
Her entire face was pale, and no one dared to stop her as she moved around.
Wei Yanzhou seemed to be stunned for a rare moment. He reacted and shouted: "Don't send it back yet!"
When did Cheng Ning wake up? She was obviously still asleep when he left the bed.
After leaving the palace gate, he also ordered people to light the soothing incense.
But she is standing here now, which is surprising but not surprising.
What's surprising is that Cheng Ning didn't have any signs of seeing through it. It's not surprising that she already has such ability.
As long as Cheng Ning wants to know, as long as she uses some strategies and methods, there are almost no people in this palace who can play Cheng Ning's game.
Even Wei Yanzhou was deceived, right?
As Cheng Ning walked around, almost no one made a sound.
She slowly squatted on the ground, almost shoulder-to-shoulder with Wei Yanzhou, and looked down at Chunhua: "Tianxing is dead, right?"
"Empress—" Chunhua pursed her lips, tears falling from her eyes. Her fear and panic reached their peak at this moment.
Cheng Ning no longer looked at her, but stood up and walked towards the main hall.
"Stop her!"
Wei Yanzhou's low voice fell in the courtyard.
The guard and his shadow guards rushed forward, just blocking the door and not daring to make any other move.
"Your Majesty, please go back." Wang Xi came forward, with a bitter expression on his face: "The deeper the rain, the heavier the rain. Your Majesty, please pay close attention to the child in your belly."
"If you don't open the door, you can always pretend to be peaceful, right?" Cheng Ning's back was to Wei Yanzhou, but everyone could clearly hear that her words were directed at Wei Yanzhou.
Cheng Ning felt that her wrist holding the umbrella could not bear the strength, and she kept shaking while holding the umbrella handle.
So she simply stopped holding the umbrella and let it fall to the ground.
"Empress!" Wang Xi panicked and didn't know what to do. He only had an umbrella, not for Wei Yanzhou or Cheng Ning.
But Mu Di's hand was empty, and the umbrella handle was snatched away by Wei Yanzhou.
The umbrella eaves covered Cheng Ning again, and Wei Yanzhou pulled her shoulders, his dark eyes filled with storm: "What are you going to make a fuss about now?"
It was clear that something had torn apart along with this rainy night, but he could still look like Cheng Ning was unwilling to settle the matter.
Pointing to the palace door, Cheng Ning said bitterly: "Either open the door, or tell me what happened to my sister-in-law?"
Wei Yanzhou had a meal.
Cheng Ning gave a bitter smile. Her eyelashes were wet from the rain. When she blinked, the water dropped under her eyelids, as if she was crying.
"You won't think that I really believed what you said. The word 'fortunately' was so light. You said it without hesitation. You might be able to deceive everyone, but the more I know you, the more decisive you are, the more guilty you feel. "
Having been kept secret a lot, do you really think Cheng Ning can't understand Wei Yanzhou's emotions?
I thought she would question something else, but what she asked about was Chen Yili.
Wei Yanzhou's hand clasped her shoulders slightly, as if he wanted to sink into her flesh.
Cheng Ning looked into his eyes and asked again: "Now do you dare to say it in front of me, okay again?!"
"Ouyang Xi told you about Tianxing's arrival in Hua Palace, right? You killed Tianxing, thinking you could cover up my suspicions?"
Without opening the door, Cheng Ning knew from the moment she stepped into the courtyard and saw Wei Yanzhou that Tian Xing could not be alive.
Wei Yanzhou is really ruthless when he is ruthless. He will not give others a way to survive when he has foreseen something.
The hem of her clothes was grasped by Cheng Ning's hand. Cheng Ning's face was too pale in the night, and with her long hair all over her head, she was about to break in despair.
"you tell me!"
Cheng Ning hissed: "My father, my brother, my sister-in-law, dozens of members of the Cheng family, where are they now!?"
As her voice fell, thunder rolled.
A bolt of lightning fell low, as if it was right in front of him, and Wei Yanzhou instinctively raised his hand to protect Cheng Ning.
But the next moment, Cheng Ning slapped his hand away.
"You think I've been kept in a cage for so long that thunder can scare me?" Cheng Ning couldn't contain his emotions: "Answer me!"
"how about you?"
Wei Yanzhou spoke after a long time and asked, "Did you know you were pregnant before you drank that cup of tea?"
Chunhua froze on the spot in shock and fear. For a moment, it seemed as if she couldn't hear the sound. Maybe even if she heard it, she couldn't understand what His Majesty said.
Madam...do you know you are pregnant?
How can it be.
At least Chunhua was by her side every day, and she never noticed anything unusual about Cheng Ning.
She thought Meng Xin said it was okay, and His Majesty never revealed anything in Linhua.
The empress has never given birth to a child...how would she know?
If she knew, then what did the two of them say when Tianxing came to Hua Palace that day and closed the door?
Why did Xie Qingyi come up with the anti-child medicine the next day?
After the empress drank tea, something happened, and the Xie family was immediately dealt with by His Majesty.
If, if all this is traceable, then Tianxing's death...
"Do you dare to say that?" Wei Yanzhou took a step closer, and you could see his eyes were red: "Is this child comparable to the Cheng family in your heart?"
His hands hurriedly covered his lower abdomen, panic flashed in Cheng Ning's eyes.
Sure enough he knew.
Yes, Wei Yanzhou is such a smart person. He can draw inferences from one instance and understand the whole picture by looking at a corner.
For a person like him to be able to find out Tianxing and kill her, it means that he has guessed everything.
"Say it!" Wei Yanzhou roared.
Cheng Ning took a step back. Today she had a taste of what it felt like to have her heart twisted.
What does it feel like to be cornered?
The two masters actually got into a big fight in Fengluan Palace, fierce and cruel, as if they wanted to cut each other open.
Wang Xi's expression changed drastically and he cleared out all the guards present.
No one dares to stay. The more people know, the more dangerous this head on their neck becomes.
Cheng Ning opened his lips, and every time he took a breath, his chest felt like a sharp blade was scraping across his chest.
She nodded, no one could see the emptiness in her eyes when she lowered her eyes.
Wei Yanzhou heard her say: "Yes, I am using this child to force you to kill the Xie family."
