An Xin didn't know what to do for a moment, the direction of everything changed so drastically.
Why did Ning Yan lie to himself? Why
An Xin seemed to have some answers in her heart. A bitter look appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she didn't want to admit it.
An Xin took a deep breath. The only way to determine whether Ning Yan was the Nine Nether Guest was to verify whether there was a red spider lily behind Ning Yan based on the prescription Mr. Gu gave her.
An Xin had an idea at once, and she ordered: "Qiaoying, come here!"
Silhouette heard this and leaned over to listen.
An Xin whispered something in her ear, and Ying Yao heard it and took note of it secretly.
After half a day, the group returned to the capital. There was a group of people watching on both sides of the street. Especially when they saw Ning Yan, they all knelt down and said: "Long live your majesty, long live your majesty, and a thousand years and a thousand years and a thousand years of live your majesty..."
The people have been repeating this over and over again.
An Xin was deeply shocked when she heard this. Is this the power of feudal imperial power
An Xin secretly pulled the curtain a little and looked outside. The people had sincere and grateful expressions on their faces.
After thinking about it, I thought about the policies Ning Yan had implemented for the country and the people during this period, as well as the victory in this war to defend the border.
This made Ning Yan's prestige even greater and he won the hearts of the people.
Only half a day passed, and by evening, An Xin had asked Yingzi to find the recipes for the prescriptions.
When Ning Yan returned to the palace at night, An Xin gently changed his clothes and applied medicine to him. While applying medicine to Ning Yan,
An Xin lightly sprinkled the powder on Ning Yan's back. In an instant, a strange and beautiful Lycoris radiata appeared on Ning Yan's back.
An Xin's beautiful eyes widened, and her hands couldn't help but tremble. Ning Yan noticed that something was wrong with An Xin, so he asked: "Qing Qing, what's wrong with you..."
"Nothing..." An Xin pretended to be calm. She couldn't reveal the fact about the powder. If she did, Gu Zhaoshang would really not be able to escape Ning Yan's clutches.
An Xin used all her strength to treat Ning Yan's wound.
Then, with a faint smile on her face, she asked, "Husband, let me ask you a question, will you lie to me?"
Ning Yan felt something was wrong when he saw this, but he still replied: "No, I will never lie to you again..."
An Xin laughed softly, and there was a chill in her laughter. As she spoke, An Xin drew out her dagger, put it against Ning Yan's neck, and asked, "Then I'll ask you a question. Ning Yan, are you the Nine Nether Guest?"
Ning Yan was shocked when he saw An Xin's actions and said, "How could it be? How could I be that Jiuyou? Qingqing, are you too tired? Didn't I explain it to you during the day?"
As he spoke, Ning Yan ignored the dagger against his neck and tried to hug An Xin.
But An Xin dodged him and said sternly: "Ning Yan, answer me! You said you wouldn't lie to me!"
Ning Yan looked at An Xin with a complicated expression and remained silent.
For a while, the two of them remained in a stalemate.
After a long while, Ning Yan said: "Yes..."
An Xin closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "So, you approached me in the beginning just to plot against me, to plot against the Anguo Mansion?"
"Yes." Ning Yan replied with his eyes closed, feeling like a hero cutting off his own arm.
An Xin raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and her tone gradually became colder. She then asked, "Did you also send someone to plant the Kuli grass in the pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
Ning Yan said with some difficulty: "Yes."
An Xin chuckled, her eyes gradually turned cold as she asked, "Was it part of your plan to get assassinated on the way to the tea house?"
"It was Ning Ze who hired you to get killed, so I'll just take advantage of him..." Ning Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
An Xin snorted coldly, and then said: "The war between the Xiongnu Kingdom and the Ning Kingdom was also planned by you?"
Ning Yan stopped talking and nodded bitterly.
Given An Xin's hot temper, Ning Yan felt that the warmth that had just arisen between them was extinguished again.
Seeing this, An Xin sneered and said, "So, Grandfather's death and Big Brother's leg are all related to you?"
The word "peace of mind" is not a question, but an affirmation.
"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me..." For now, Ning Yan had nothing else to say except this sentence.
When An Xin heard this unexpected but reasonable thing, her brows relaxed, but with a hint of hatred in her eyes, she whispered: "My respected Emperor Ning Zhao, or Lord Jiuyouke. So, from the beginning, your goal was not to seek revenge, not to become the emperor, you just wanted to cause chaos in the world and make people suffer!"
"Yes..." When Ning Yan finished this sentence, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away.
"Just because you hate the extinction of your mother's clan, you plan to let the whole world be buried with you?" An Xin made a bold guess.
"Yes!" Ning Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his smiling peach blossom eyes filled with all kinds of hatred, madness, and paranoia...
"My mother's family has always been honest and fair, and has devoted themselves to the country, but they were framed for treason. My mother was kind-hearted and had a deep love for my father, but in the end she was forced to die in the cold palace. Originally, I had parents and relatives who loved me, but they all changed overnight." Ning Yan spoke, he recalled the past, and then said: "Since I was five years old, I lost the protection of my mother and my mother's family. My father also lived in guilt and ignored me, allowing me to be bullied by Ning Mu and Ning Ze, and despised by the palace people. If my father had not come to his senses when I was ten years old, you can imagine how I would have lived..."
When An Xin heard this, besides murderous intent, there was also a hint of heartache in her eyes.
When he was young, he encountered misfortunes and experienced the vicissitudes of life and the warmth and coldness of human nature. There was no one to take care of and guide Ning Yan.
Ning Yan's perverted and cruel character was probably developed at that time.
An Xin continued Ning Yan's words and said, "So you have been pretending for so many years. When you were in your teens, you founded Qianjisha alone to kill people for money and obtain intelligence. Ten years ago, you planned and planted spies in various countries just to avenge all this. So you can use everything, so you can do whatever it takes?"
"Yes! I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down!" Ning Yan changed his usual attitude and said in a cold and hard tone.
An Xin heard this, tears rolled down her eyes, and she asked: "So, you approached me on purpose in order to start a war with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and deplete the strength of the two countries? Ning Yan, is there anything else you can't use?"
Ning Yan saw that An Xin was a little emotionally broken, so he quickly explained: "Qingqing, I admit that I wanted to get close to you at first, but later I found that I cared about you and fell in love with you. It was not until I fell into the glacier that you came to save me at all costs that I realized my own heart."
