Chapter 990: 467 The Truth Comes to Light (Third Update)

Princess Xinyang spoke in a tone cold as ice, "How can you be exempt from blame? If it weren’t for that woman you brought back attracting assassins, how could my son have been poisoned?"

Marquis Xuanping furrowed his brows even more tightly, "Do you think the poisoners were targeting her?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Princess Xinyang retorted.

Marquis Xuanping fell silent.

Princess Xinyang laughed scornfully, "Speechless now, are you? Aren’t you always loath to take the fall? Come on, tell me, how have I wronged you?"

Marquis Xuanping looked at her with a complex expression, "Qin Fengwan, has this incident affected your feelings for Xiao Hen?"

"What do you mean?" Princess Xinyang was puzzled.

The depths of Marquis Xuanping’s eyes darkened, "You think the assassins were targeting his mother, does that cause you to harbor a trace of resentment towards him as well?"

Without waiting for Princess Xinyang to respond, Marquis Xuanping continued, "I was never a good person to begin with; just when I managed to do something right, I end up being wrongfully accused. Qin Fengwan, you were the one who wanted to ask, and no matter the outcome, you’re not to blame me."

A sense of bad omen rose from the bottom of Princess Xinyang’s heart.

Marquis Xuanping looked at her steadily, his gaze solemn and icy cold, "Qin Fengwan, we had an agreement from the start, you wouldn’t fall in love with me, and I’d better not fancy you either. On our wedding night, you yourself asked me not to touch you, that we would forever be a married couple in name only, not interfering with one another. But later, due to a fluke... I touched you, you got pregnant, I asked you, do you want this child? If you do, he will be my, Xiao Ji’s, legitimate son. In my life, I will have only one legitimate son, and that’ll be the child of you, Qin Fengwan! If you don’t, then I won’t say another word. The choice is yours, the womb is yours."

I surely know whether I was looking forward to this child. Both the Princess Residence and Marquis Xuanping’s residence were guarded to what extent back then, more impregnable than the palace itself, not even a fly could enter! Let me ask you this, how could assassins poison the child!"

Princess Xinyang’s gaze trembled, "You... "

Marquis Xuanping nodded with a cold laugh, "That’s right, that’s what I’m saying, there is a traitor among us! A traitor has emerged from your own circle."

Princess Xinyang’s complexion changed, "Impossible, I have the Dragon Shadow Guard watching over the two children day and night, how could anyone have had the chance to poison them?"

The cold smile froze on Marquis Xuanping’s lips, his eyes chilling, "Yes, you have the Dragon Shadow Guard guarding the children, so who else could have poisoned them! Think for yourself!"

A thunderclap of realization exploded in Princess Xinyang’s mind!

Dragon Shadow Guard!

No, it couldn’t be.

But she trusted the Dragon Shadow Guard too much, so she never considered this flaw. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
