Uncle Zhou did not dare to delay, so he quickly went down with the three imperial doctors.
The door closed again.
The atmosphere in the hall invisibly became more condensed, and there was a faint feeling of oppression.
The man sat expressionlessly on the main seat, his narrow eyes as cold as ice, looking at her momentarily.
Being stared at by such eyes, Xiao Lingyue felt as if she had been cut with a sharp knife, and a cold feeling ran down her back.
She didn't feel much scared.
Just...a little guilty.
But soon, Xiao Lingyue realized, why did she feel guilty?
She didn't mean to hide it from him.
Xiao Lingyue walked to the chair next to her and sat down. She prepared herself mentally and said calmly in a tone that looked like she was about to die: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask!"
The man laughed at her tone: "Is this a broken jar?"
"I didn't want to hide it from you, I just didn't find a chance to tell you."
Xiao Lingyue said angrily and muttered again: "Besides, it's useless to say it..."
"Speak louder!" Zhan Bei said coldly.
"Beibei and Hanhan are still resting in the back room, are you sure you want to speak loudly? They heard them, are you responsible for coaxing them?" Xiao Lingyue glanced at him sideways.
Zhan Beihan: "..."
Xiao Lingyue softened her tone and said: "I really didn't deliberately hide it from you. There have been too many things in the past two days. I didn't bother to tell you, and there was no need to tell you before... I came in
Before going to the palace, I asked Uncle Zhou to help me boil Beibei, but I didn’t expect that he would invite the imperial doctor over, which made a big mistake.”
Zhan Bei said coldly: "What's going on with Beibei's fetal poison?"
"Didn't the imperial doctor tell you? That's what happened." Xiao Lingyue said.
"That's not what I'm asking!" Zhan Beihan stared at her, "Why were you poisoned during pregnancy?"
Xiao Lingyue complained: "You are asking this...as if I want to be poisoned!"
Man: "Don't change the subject!"
"My poisoning should have something to do with the Xiao family. It's a long story."
Xiao Lingyue organized her words, looked at him and said, "Do you still remember when I slit my wrists on the sedan chair?"
Zhan Beihan smiled: "I will never forget this in my life!"
"That time I cut my wrists, it was not because I wanted to die, but because the Xiao family gave me medicine before I got on the sedan chair."
Xiao Lingyue spoke calmly, with a sharp and cold murderous intent flashing in her eyes, "I had a drug-induced seizure on the sedan chair, and I couldn't control it. I could only cut my wrists and bleed them, hoping to reduce the effect of the drug."
This is half true and half false.
It is true that bloodletting can reduce the effects of medicine.
Because of this, after Xiao Lingyue regained consciousness, as soon as the bleeding stopped, the effect of the medicine in her body suddenly surged.
But in addition, "Miss Xiao" also really wanted to die.
She was already determined to die before she got on the sedan chair.
However, the Xiao family took her too seriously, and her every move was monitored, so she didn't even have a chance to seek death.
In the end, in desperation, she chose to commit suicide on the sedan chair, because only by getting on the sedan chair would no one be watching her at all times, and she would have a chance to breathe for a moment.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't say anything about "Miss Xiao", so she simply omitted it and attributed the reason for cutting her wrists to reducing the effect of the medicine.
This is also a reasonable excuse.
Zhan Beihan looked at her with cold eyes: "Do you think I am stupid?"
