Chapter 471: Farewell Boy 02

Chapter 471

After hearing what Xiao Jingheng said, Ning Wanshuang felt his embrace was very cold, a chill that sent shivers down her spine.

Cheng Yu was his own flesh and blood.

Even if he truly believed that Zhao Hua was unforgivable and wished to kill her to vent his anger, what had the child done wrong?

If he could so easily speak of executing Cheng Yu,

one could only imagine how much easier it would have been for him to order the death of her child back then.

Ning Wanshuang gently pushed against Xiao Jingheng's chest, freeing herself from his embrace.

After sitting closely in silence for a while, Ning Wanshuang did not acquiesce to his request. Instead, she rather abruptly asked, Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

"Does Your Majesty know what day it is today?"

Xiao Jingheng was taken aback, "The first of the third month."

"Your Majesty has forgotten," Ning Wanshuang said with a bitter smile, lowering her eyes. "Eleven years ago on the first of the third month was the day this concubine first met Your Majesty."

Hearing the hint of sorrow in her words, Xiao Jingheng hastily made amends:

"I remember. How could I forget such a day?"

Outside, the thunderstorm seemed to start and stop abruptly.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear sky,

Xiao Jingheng was overjoyed. Instinctively, he pushed Ning Wanshuang away from his embrace, throwing off the covers and excitedly shouting:

"Wanshuang, did you hear that? It's Yan Hong! He has come to save me!"

As he stepped onto the floor with one foot, he felt as if he were stepping on cotton, unable to exert any force.

He quickly turned back to Ning Wanshuang with a smile, saying:

"Wanshuang, help me up! I need to... cough... cough cough..."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingheng felt a violent, unbearable pain wrenching his stomach, causing him to cough uncontrollably while covering his mouth.

Suddenly, he became alarmed by the ominous warmth and moisture seeping into his cupped palm.

Slowly, he moved his hand away to look down,

finally seeing the glaring splash of red spreading across his palm.

His heart skipped a beat as he looked up at Ning Wanshuang in shock, his lips trembling as he uttered:

"Wan... Wanshuang?"

"Does it hurt?" Ning Wanshuang asked with concern, then very calmly picked up the bowl and cup that Xiao Jingheng had placed on the small table earlier.

She presented them before Xiao Jingheng, swirling them slightly, and said in a flat tone:

"This concubine forgot to tell Your Majesty, I added a lethal dose of realgar to the water."
