Chapter 426 - The wife that was with you during your tribulations (1)

Zhao Zhe looked at Kangyuan like she was crazy. Then, he turned around and left the prison cell.

He didn't care if Wen Wan had genuinely lost her memories or not. She was just an abandoned p.a.w.n to him.

Kangyuan was still laughing. The echoes of her laughter spread further and further through the prison.

Taking Wu Yong along with him, Zhao Zhe hurriedly returned to the palace. In addition, he had a personal servant pa.s.s on Kangyuan's message to Ji Man.

Ji Man was surprised when she heard this message. Wen Wan didn't have amnesia? But, she had seen Wen Wan. If Wen Wan was only acting, then acting skills was really too high level. Wen Wan was the type of woman that wasn't very smart. When had she transformed into someone that was this difficult to deal with?

In contrast, Marquis Moyu wasn't surprised at all. After all, he knew Wen Wan much better than Ji Man did, so of course he knew that Wen Wan was pretending. It was only that he wanted to use Wen Wan to fake his loyalty to the deposed emperor, so that Zhao Li would believe him 100 percent. That was why he had allowed Wen Wan out of Qiangwei Courtyard and stay by his side.

But now, she was finally useless to him. His relations.h.i.+p with her had ended a long ago. Once the war with Zhangjun had started, he hadn't seen her once, not even after he returned to the capital.

”Hey, if you're a celestial immortal, can you see past people's deceptions and to their real heart?” Ning Yuxuan suddenly turned his head to the side and asked her.

Ji Man stroked her chin and pretend to be solemn as she said, ”A person's heart is the most complicated thing. Even if I had a tool that allowed me to see through her deception, I won't be able to understand it. It has to be personally experienced. Even if I'm a celestial immortal, I find the human heart unfathomable.”

Marquis Moyu nodded. That's good.

It would be the best if she didn't know about certain thoughts that he once had.

Inside the prison, there really wasn't anything they couldn't discuss. For Ji Man, it was simply because she was bored. But, for Ning Yuxuan, he was digging his heart out to share with her.

Except for that one last sentence to express his feelings.

From time to time, Ji Man would ask, “Marquis, do you love me?”

Ning Yuxuan shook his head. ”I don't love you. What about you?”

Ji Man let out a long sigh. ”Me too.”

After that exchange, the two of them would fall into a long period of silence. Ji Man counted the time that had pa.s.sed. She was probably going to be able to win the bet. Zhao Zhe wouldn't keep them locked up for too long. And, she continued to not have any intentions of going to the inner palace.

This persisted until Wu Yong came to the prison one day and released Ning Yuxuan, then he turned his head and said to Ji Man, ”The emperor has pardon Miss Nie's crime. It turns out that someone else was responsible for the deposed emperor's death.”

Ji Man was dumbstruck. Zhao Li had died by her hands. Now, they were saying that the murderer was someone else?

Who?
