313 Ascension
“Continue pretending. If Lian Xin dies, you won’t live long either! Or rather, your Great Yun Nation won’t live long!” Princess Lotus said.
Ning Yue was extremely surprised. Lian Xin was actually involved in the hatred between the two countries?
“Black City Kingdom is so small but it’s as disgusting as you,” Jiang Ying said indifferently.
Princess Lotus paused and looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief.
She had thought that Jiang Ying had a place for her in his heart, but now it seemed that she was just a joke in his heart.
“Jiang Ying, don’t you have any place for me in your heart? I can use the entire Black City Kingdom to help you ascend to the throne!” Princess Lotus said.
“Use your smallpox to help?” Jiang Ying asked.
“Yes, I planted the smallpox!” she shouted.
“How vicious,” Jiang Ying said.
“Vicious? Which woman in the world isn’t vicious? Ning Yue, I hate you! I wish you could die!” Princess Lotus shouted.
“In that case, I’ll call Lian Xin over and let him wear the clothes in person!” Ning Yue said.
“I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. I was the one who spread the smallpox. It has nothing to do with Lian Xin!” Princess Lotus suddenly went a little crazy.
Who exactly was Lian Xin? From the looks of it, she seemed very worried about Lian Xin.
At this moment, Princess Lotus seemed to have gone crazy. She suddenly laughed and stared at Ning Yue. “Ning Yue, do you think you’re very smart? Hmph! Just wait to die!”
“Someone! Throw this crazy woman back to the Black City Kingdom!” Jiang Ying said.
When Princess Lotus heard this, she slammed her head against the pillar beside her and fell to the ground weakly.
Blood couldn’t stop flowing from her head. Princess Lotus twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Ning Yue was shocked.
Her heart was in a mess. She didn’t know why Lotus had committed suicide for no reason. Was she the kind of person to commit suicide?
Princess Lotus’s death made Ning Yue very uneasy. She kept feeling that Princess Lotus’s death was not simple, as if she had received some order.
When dealing with Princess Lotus’s corpse, a servant came to report that Princess Lotus was covered in smallpox.
Jiang Ying officially reported that Princess Lotus killed herself after failing to poison Ning Yue.
Later on, when they investigated, they found out that Princess Lotus was infected with smallpox first, but she had deliberately bumped into Jiang Ying. Although Jiang Ying left the table to wash up in disgust, it was still too late.
Although they had investigated the reason why Jiang Ying had been infected with smallpox, they had never found out the reason why Princess Lotus had committed suicide.
After Jiang Ying finished dealing with these matters, he went to look for Ning Yue. The two of them talked about the Three Kingdoms Festival.
“Did anything happen after you left the Three Kingdoms Festival?” Jiang Ying asked her.
“Jiang Ying, where’s Princess Lotus’s hometown? The Black City Kingdom used to belong to the Great Yun Nation. She should have a hometown, right?” Ning Yue guessed.
“I only know that she’s the princess of the Black City Kingdom. I’m not sure where the royal family of the Black City Kingdom is from,” Jiang Ying said.
“I see…” Ning Yue smiled and shook her head. There were things in the world that Jiang Ying did not know.
“Yueyue, what do you want to eat? I’m almost recovered. It’s time to take good care of you,” Jiang Ying said. His heart ached for Ning Yue. She had lost weight these past few days.
“I don’t have anything I particularly want to eat,” Ning Yue said.
“Then I’ll make the decision to instruct the kitchen to cook and nourish you well.” Jiang Ying left before Ning Yue could answer.
Ning Yue thought to herself that there was definitely something wrong with someone, but she couldn’t find anything wrong. Once Princess Lotus died, there would probably be no evidence.
But if Princess Lotus wanted to harm her, what was her goal?
Advancing? But no matter what, Princess Lotus couldn’t do it herself! Therefore, Princess Lotus’s motive definitely wasn’t as simple as ascending the throne.
No, she had to find a chance to investigate again. She had doubts about someone.
Jiang Ying did not know what Ning Yue was thinking and thought that she was unhappy. He asked, “Yueyue, what’s wrong?”
Ning Yue shook her head and did not speak. Instead, she looked out of the window with a frown.
