Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

The autopsy would require cutting open Ji Xingyao's body, tearing out her flesh and blood, and in the end she would not be buried with a complete body.

"No, no, Xingyao is afraid of pain. She can't stand it. She can't stand it." Li Heng immediately shook his head.

Ji Xingyao is the daughter of a general, yet she possesses none of the military bearing of a military commander. Spoiled from childhood, her brother Ji Yuanbai takes the blame for her mistakes, and the general's wife, who loves her like her life, forbids her from even touching a needle or thread.

She has never suffered physical pain since she was a child, so she is most afraid of pain.

On her first night with Li Heng, she cried all night in pain. Li Heng was at a loss like a child and tried to coax her clumsily all night.

Later, Li Heng endured for several months and was reluctant to touch her.

I'm really afraid of it falling if I hold it in my hand, and afraid of it melting if I hold it in my mouth.

I don’t know how I ended up in this situation where we are separated by life and death.

Wen Yuan asked: "Since Prince Ruiping does not agree to an autopsy, then you must agree with the coroner's statement that Xingyao was not sick, but was poisoned to death by your Prince Ruiping's mansion."

The coroner fell to his knees. He knew that he was forced into this situation and there was no way he could get out of it cleanly.

He told the truth on his own initiative. If King Ruiping investigated the matter, he would probably not be able to save his head forever.

Whether you can survive depends entirely on the words of King Ruiping.

But at this moment, Prince Ruiping's mind was not on the coroner. He denied it:

"Xingyao has been ill for a long time. The imperial physician examined her and said she had a cold and needed to rest."

"Who are you trying to fool? Let me ask you, when did the imperial physician enter the palace?"

Although it was a sunny day, the wind was still biting. Li Heng was enveloped in a layer of cold by the sudden strong wind. He mumbled, "A year ago."

Wen Yuan sneered: "Since Xingyao has a cold, why didn't the imperial physician come back to see her this year?"

Li Heng couldn't answer.

Rumor has it that Prince Ruiping and his wife were a perfect match, deeply in love. In reality, they had separated three years earlier, and a year earlier, the wife had even stopped Prince Ruiping from entering Yaohua Garden, refusing him entry. It had been a year since then.

Wen Yuan pressed on: "I heard that Prince Ruiping's concubine was born into a medical family. I think she is very knowledgeable about various poisons."

Li Heng's brows knitted tightly together: "My Lady, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"A good person? The princess is in great mourning, yet she's flaunting herself around the palace in gorgeous attire. If the late queen were here, she'd probably be tortured at best, or even demoted to slavery at worst."

The late queen was a vicious woman to the brothers Li Heng and Li Zhao. After their biological mother, Concubine Gao, was banished to the cold palace, she became half-mad and half-idiot under the torture of the late queen, and finally committed suicide by jumping into a well.

"The late queen was too cruel. The noble concubine is magnanimous and wouldn't be like her."

Li Heng respectfully addressed Wen Yuan as "Noble Concubine" just to remind her of her current status and that she should not use lynching at will.

"What if I must get a result today?" Wen Yuan refused to give in.

The sun above gradually disappeared, and Yaohua Garden was shrouded in haze.

After a while, Li Heng said, "Your Highness, may I have a moment to talk?"

He had a worried look on his face, and didn't seem to care whether Ji Xingyao was poisoned or not, but rather had other more important things to do.

Wen Yuan thought that he wanted to save face, and he would be held accountable in front of a group of servants and people who came to pay their respects one after another. He would be ashamed to have his dignity stripped away, so he agreed to his request.

The two came to the back garden of Yaohua Garden, where there was a swing made by Li Heng himself.

Today, the swing has been weathered by wind and frost, the paint on the wood has faded, and it sways alone in the wind.

Seeing the swing again, Li Heng was filled with emotion.

He touched the long rope hanging the swing and remained silent.

Wen Yuan had no intention of waiting for him to lament the passing of time: "Prince Ruiping, if you have something to say, just say it."

Li Heng's eyes fell on the swing: "Wen Yuan, it's not all my fault that Xingyao and I have come to this point today."

Wen Yuan sneered. As expected, men will never admit they are wrong until they die.

"When I was fourteen, I left the palace and accidentally fell down a hillside. I was bitten by a poisonous snake and my ankle was in critical condition. It was Jinyun who happened to pass by and saved me."

Since then, Su Jinyun has taken root in his heart.

"Su Jinyun saved you once, and you remembered it for many years. However, Xingyao saved you several times, but you turned a blind eye."

"That's not the case. Xingyao has certainly paid a lot." Li Heng never denied the sacrifices Ji Xingyao made for him.

"When you were stuck in the mud, everyone kept their distance from you. Only Xingyao went upstream to accompany you through the unbearable times. May I ask, what was your white moonlight Su Jinyun doing at that time? Even if she were to abandon the donkey after it has done its work, she wouldn't be as efficient as you."

Li Heng was speechless after a long while. He said:

"Xingyao couldn't tolerate Jinyun and made things difficult for her everywhere. I was just angry and argued with her once, and she kicked me out of Yaohua Garden."

"Humph," Wen Yuan snorted coldly, "So this is your reason for poisoning her?"

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. How could I harm her?"

"I only believe what the coroner says."

"..."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to argue with you. Actually, I want to ask you, Xingyao isn't dead, is she?"

"Xingyao's body is lying in Yaohua Garden. Where did you get this from?"

"Because, Xingyao...she is not an ordinary person." Li Heng said this with a lack of confidence. After all, he had been sleeping in the same bed with Ji Xingyao for five years, and only once at night did he get a glimpse of Ji Xingyao's unusual side.

"how do I say this?"

"Did she return to the modern era?"

Wen Yuan's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face: "What are you talking about?"

"She seems to be doing some system task. Once she completes it, she can return to the modern era. So, I suspect she is not dead."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Xingyao was poisoned to death by your palace. Are you planning to come up with some inexplicable things to fool me?"

Wen Yuan's heart beat faster. This was the first time she heard the word "system" from someone of this dynasty.

The system, which had been silent until then, suddenly announced: "Warning, warning! If your identity is exposed, you will be forcibly returned to your original world and all rewards will be reset. Host, do you remember when you and Ji Xingyao were watching a meteor in the mountains behind the school and were struck by a meteorite, instantly annihilating you? If your identity in the Taifeng Dynasty is exposed, you will not be able to claim the rebirth reward upon returning."

I grass!

Wen Yuan suddenly felt like she was screwed. Why was everyone trying to take advantage of her?

I haven't taken revenge yet, and I almost got myself into trouble.

Wen Yuan's face was calm as water, but his heart was already in a mess.

Wen Yuan: [Xingyao has returned to the real world. Does this affect her?]

System: [No, she has already left the system world and received all the rewards. There will be no punishment~]

Wen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.

System: [Host, remember, be sure to protect your vest]

After leaving a reminder, the system goes offline in stealth mode.

Wen Yuan was just thinking about whether he had ever revealed his true identity in front of Li Zhao, when Li Heng asked:

"You've been friends with her since childhood, so I just want to ask, is she still alive?"
