Ye Yi did not dare to disobey the order and immediately retreated with the other secret guards.
There were only two of them left in the Octagonal Pavilion for a while.
Xiao Lingyue caught a glimpse of the secret guard disappearing from the corner of her eye, and felt relieved. Then she felt the man's cold and gloomy gaze piercing her body like a knife. She felt like he was gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
.
What's up with him?
Isn't it just that he broke into a secret cell and had a casual chat with the prisoner? As for being so angry?
This man was mean-spirited and hot-tempered five years ago. She only slept with him once and was hunted to death by him. In the end, she was forced to jump off a cliff and feign death to get rid of him...
Five years have passed and his temper has not changed at all.
Xiao Lingyue was worried and complained at the same time, but on the surface she pretended to be weak and pitiful: "Your Highness, King Yi, what do you want to know?"
Zhan Beihan stared at her, his eyes seeming to penetrate all her disguises and see her true face clearly.
Also see clearly...
Is she the damn woman who ran away as soon as she slept five years ago?
When I think of "Xiao Lingyue" herself.
Zhan Beihan's heart was like a turbulence. The anger, irritability, shame and anger that he had suppressed for five years exploded like exploding fireworks. On the surface, he still maintained an unmoving, cold and indifferent look, and asked:
"Who are you?"
Xiao Lingyue blinked, "Who do you think I am?"
"This king is judging you now." Zhan Beihan looked down at her coldly and said every word, "I want you to tell me personally, who are you?"
"..."
Xiao Lingyue paused and said nothing.
My mind was constantly racing, thinking of ways to escape.
who are you?
This question is easy for anyone to answer, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
Because she has too many identities.
First there is the third young lady of the Shen family, Shen Wan; then there is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Lingyue;
After peeling off these two layers of identity, she was still Wei Shaorong, the third young lady of Nanyan Weiguo's palace in her previous life.
Further down...
She is a descendant of a modern poisonous doctor, also named Xiao Lingyue. After her accidental death, she was transmigrated to Nanyan Kingdom and became the newly born third young lady of the Wei family. She grew up in the capital city of Nanyan since she was a child.
After all this series of identities are sorted out, who is she and how can we tell clearly?
What's more, all of these identities have problems, especially in front of Zhan Beihan. No matter which one she admits, she is seeking death.
It's really killing me...
"Say!" Zhan Beihan asked sharply.
Xiao Lingyue gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk.
She raised her head and looked into the man's cold eyes, and suddenly asked: "Do you remember Wei Shaorong?"
——Wei Shaorong!
This name seemed to have a magic spell, and the man's already cold face suddenly became cold and sinister.
Xiao Lingyue looked at him nervously, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
In the previous life, "Wei Shaorong" and Zhan Beihan were enemies. They fought fiercely when they first met. Many things happened later. They also shared hardships and fought side by side. Unfortunately, Southern Yan and Northern Qin were hostile countries.
With different positions, two people cannot be friends after all.
But even so, Zhan Beihan was different in her heart.
She didn't know how Zhan Beihan defined their relationship. Maybe from the beginning to the end, he just regarded her as an enemy. Mentioning the name "Wei Shaorong" might actually anger him...
In addition to the identity of "Wei Shaorong", she must not expose the identity of "Xiao Lingyue", otherwise Beibei will definitely be snatched away.
Her fingers hidden behind her back curled up quietly, and her fingertips reached into her sleeves, holding a thin blade.
But Zhan Beihan seemed to have suddenly woken up. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her collar, almost lifting her up from the ground. His eyes were like sharp swords: "How do you know Wei Shaorong?"
Xiao Lingyue was caught off guard and almost choked by him: "I know you... let go first. If you have something to say... say it carefully."
Zhan Beihan threw her to the ground: "Say!"
"Ahem..." Xiao Lingyue lay on the ground and coughed a few times, finally catching her breath.
She raised her head inexplicably: "I just said a name, why are you so angry?"
After a pause, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes: "Do you hate Wei Shaorong very much?"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Zhan Beihan said impatiently, and then looked at her coldly, "You are indeed from Nanyan. What is your relationship with Wei Shaorong? How do you know each other?"
"..." Xiao Lingyue smiled self-deprecatingly.
She is Wei Shaorong himself, what else could it be related to?
However, Zhan Beihan's reaction was not beyond her expectation. He really regarded her as an enemy and was very wary of her.
She just mentioned her name, and he almost strangled her to death... If she really admitted that she was Wei Shaorong, he might have drawn his sword and killed her on the spot.
You know, her head is quite valuable in Northern Qin, and it has always been on the bounty list. Even if Zhan Beihan doesn't kill her, the Northern Qin court officials will not let her go...
She couldn't tell the truth, so she had to find a way to fool her.
Xiao Lingyue said softly: "Wei Shaorong and I have met a few times before, but we are not familiar with each other... She is now the Crown Princess of Nanyan. Her status is different and she has nothing to do with me."
While speaking, she looked at Zhan Beihan, wanting to test whether he knew about this.
Zhan Beihan pursed his thin lips tightly, and the expression on his face was extremely cold. There seemed to be a gloomy and violent atmosphere between his eyebrows, but there was no surprise.
Xiao Lingyue felt her heart sink heavily, and there was a dull pain.
Sure enough...he knew!
"Wei Shaorong" and Prince Nan Yan got married five years ago, which ordinary people didn't know about.
But as King Yi, Zhan Beihan must have gotten the news as soon as possible.
It's just him who didn't do anything.
Even though the person she was getting married to was not the real her, but just a fake. But Zhan Beihan didn't know that, so in his eyes, she had already married and became someone else's crown prince.
Xiao Lingyue took a slow breath, closed her eyes, and suddenly laughed at herself.
Is there anything else to test? Didn’t she already know it?
Zhan Beihan doesn't like her at all.
From beginning to end...it was just her wishful thinking.
Now, the real Wei Shaorong is dead.
The pretended "Wei Shaorong" married Murong Ye again. Whether life or death, she has nothing to do with Zhan Beihan.
The most urgent task was for her to think about how to escape.
Xiao Lingyue forced herself to calm down, and the blade hidden behind her silently cut open the fishing net, and said: "Your Highness, King Yi, don't you want to know who I am? I will tell you now...
