Chapter 127 Two People Confess Their Feelings in the Middle of the Night
While examining Shu Yan's body, Wen Yuening subconsciously tilted her ear to listen to Shen Sangwan and Xiao Tong's conversation.
I find myself growing to like this person called "Xiaotong" more and more, and I wonder when I'll have the chance to meet her.
"The princess's pulse is somewhat weak and her consciousness is confused. Although her fever has subsided, Your Highness may have to be prepared whether she will wake up."
After covering herself with the blanket, Wen Yuening turned around and saw Shen Sangwan casting a suspicious glance at her. She didn't care much; she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be in vain if the other party didn't believe her.
Instead, she walked closer to Shen Sangwan step by step, changing the subject, "I came here tonight because I have a few things I want to get answers to from Your Highness."
Shen Sangwan swallowed several times in succession. As the other person took a step forward, she took a step back, and was eventually forced to sit on the soft couch.
"Again? Your Majesty, I...I warn you, don't...don't push your luck."
"Your Highness's ability to conjure objects out of thin air in the warm pavilion has piqued my curiosity. I would like to trouble Your Highness to teach me as well."
Shen Sangwan stretched her arms behind her back on the soft couch, forced to tilt her head slightly back. "Well... this... this thing, it's..."
"Oh no, Xiaotong, how am I going to explain this to her?!"
Unable to find the right words, Shen Sangwan placed her hopes on Xiaotong.
But she forgot that she had just muted Xiaotong less than ten minutes ago.
"Gou Xiaotong, you're playing dead again. I knew you weren't reliable."
"Um--?"
Seeing Shen Sangwan dawdling and giving vague answers, Wen Yuening stepped forward again, forcing the other woman to move back further, while she herself knelt down on the edge of the soft couch.
"Well... well—yes, it's hard to say right now. You... you have several things to do, right? You... you can ask about something else first."
She didn't know how to explain, so she simply gave up and remained silent.
Wen Yuening wasn't in a hurry, as if she were teasing a kitten. "After returning from the warm pavilion today, Yuening heard a rumor."
"Wh...what rumors?"
Seeing Wen Yuening's malicious eyes, Shen Sangwan knew it couldn't be anything good!
"It is said that the Princess Consort and the Prince Qi's concubine are having a hard time, and someone will descend from the sky to save them from the fire."
I also heard—
"Your Highness also wishes to marry me into the Princess's household—"
When she spoke her last words, Wen Yuening whispered in Shen Sangwan's ear, her voice soft but each word clear.
"Cough cough cough, which...which dog servant spread this rumor? Your Majesty must not believe it. Rumors are not to be believed, not to be believed."
"I think her name was either Gou Xitong or Gou Xiaotong."
Upon seeing the name spoken in such a serious manner, Shen Sangwan's pupils dilated.
"This...can the Empress hear me and Xiaotong talking? I'm so pissed off—"
"Yes!"
Wen Yuening parted her lips slightly and softly uttered a single word, startling Shen Sangwan to the point of almost having a heart attack.
What's the difference between this and defecating in public?
Oh no, oh no! She had said so many bad things about the Empress before, this... this is...
What a terrible thing—ah!
I desperately want an accident to kill her; I don't want to live for even a second longer!
"Your Highness—?"
Shen Sangwan's mind raced. After pondering for a long time, she said very seriously, "Since you can hear my thoughts, you should also know that I am not the real princess!"
Wen Yuening neither refuted nor nodded at Shen Sangwan's words, but instead asked, "Does Your Highness also have memories of your past life?"
The two questions in a row left Shen Sangwan feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
what happened?
So all that time I wasted was the other person knowing more than I did?
“I don’t know why Your Highness says you are not the eldest princess. Your Highness’s temperament and some of your little habits have never changed. Now you have only lost some memories and gained some other things. Yue Ning believes that Your Highness is still the same Your Highness.”
"Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense logically. I do have some memories of the princess's past life, but they are fragmented and incomplete. However, I am a real, living person in this world."
"My memories and life in this world are complete. If you say that the princess is me, then who was the person inside the body of the princess of Nan Jing when I was in this world?"
Wen Yuening had also been troubled by this question. Moreover, according to Shen Sangwan's previous conversation with Xiaotong, one had lived in another world for twenty-three years, while the other was only twenty years old in Nanjing. How could they have managed to have one soul reside in two bodies?
But all the previous signs indicated that the person in front of her was her prince.
"Perhaps Your Highness could ask the person named Xiaotong about this question."
If I could ask, would I have waited until now?
Shen Sangwan couldn't help but mentally complain, then realized with a start that the other person could hear her thoughts, and silently shut her mouth.
"Um...can you get off me first? My legs...are a little numb!"
The person who was kneeling on the soft couch had unknowingly sat on her lap and was now almost numb.
Hearing Shen Sangwan's soft plea, Wen Yuening obediently lifted her leg and sat down in the empty space next to her.
A moment of silence fell over the hall, and Shen Sangwan didn't know what to say.
The Empress was present when Xiaotong mentioned the mission, which means that she knew that he had been trying to get close to her with a mission in mind.
It's a little embarrassing just thinking about it.
"that..."
"Your Highness..."
Suddenly, the two of them spoke at the same time, and then stopped speaking at the same time.
"Your Highness, please speak first."
"I've always approached you with ulterior motives. When I did some things that were too much for you in the past, please... don't be angry, and please don't take it to heart."
After much thought, she decided to apologize first.
"Why would Your Highness think I would be angry? I was the one who pretended not to know all along, and even teased Your Highness from time to time. Your Highness doesn't need to apologize to Yue Ning."
Seeing that the other party refused to budge and was convinced that she was the princess, he frowned so deeply that his eyebrows almost knitted together.
Although she suspected that she was the one, she had no evidence and it didn't make sense logically. However, there were some similarities that she couldn't explain clearly.
Having a big head is really a headache.
"No matter what Your Highness becomes, in Yue Ning's heart, you will always be the same Your Highness. So, in the future, could Your Highness please stop deliberately avoiding Yue Ning?"
Seeing that Shen Sangwan remained unmoved, Wen Yuening took the initiative and pounced on her again.
He pressed her down, rubbing his swollen lips with his fingertips. "Even if Your Highness can't remember the past, let's start from today as the beginning of our mutual understanding, and then pick it up little by little from now on, okay?"
Unable to speak, Xiao Tong opened her mouth and silently cried out "waaaa," waving her arms and legs and jumping around.
