Feng Qing's words effectively halted Rong Ling's steps. He turned to look at Feng Qing and slowly paced over.
"You better tell the truth. If you dare to play tricks again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
On Rong Ling's exquisite face, a flash of menace flickered through his dark eyes.
Feng Qing knew he truly had murderous intent.
But even knowing he had such intent, she couldn't produce evidence in such a short time. This was a conspiracy of the Dog Emperor and the Feng Family. She even had once been forced to drink a cup of poisoned wine. If there were poison in her body now, she could prove her words were true.
But the key point was, she had checked her own pulse earlier, and the poison in her body had mysteriously vanished.
So now she could only take a different path. Since the Dog Emperor and the Feng Family dared to harm her, she would use Regent Prince Rong Ling's hand to deal with them, letting the Prince Regent, the Dog Emperor, and the Feng Family fight it out.
Feng Qing quickly calculated and then spoke swiftly: "To answer the Prince, the reason I entered the Regent Prince Mansion's wedding sedan was arranged by the Emperor and the Feng Family. They have a purpose for sending me into the Regent Prince Mansion. One is to replace with a beautiful Empress, and the other is that they instructed me to poison the Prince to eliminate him."
As Feng Qing's words fell, several gasps sounded beside her.
Someone exclaimed: "How dare they."
Rong Ling's face suddenly darkened, an icy blood-thirstiness flashed through his eyes, though he didn't fully believe Feng Qing's words.
"You think I would believe you?"
Rong Ling's cold and angry voice dropped, and he suddenly reached out his big hand and grabbed Feng Qing's wrist, exerting such great force that it almost crushed her wrist bone.
Instinctively, Feng Qing struggled from the pain, but Rong Ling's hand was like an iron clamp, making her unable to move at all.
Rong Ling looked at her with a sinister sneer, just as if he were a drowning dog seeing its scampered struggle, indifferent and ruthless.
"Are you trying to use my hand to deal with the Emperor and the Feng Family, making us fight each other?"
Feng Qing was stunned, then a deep hatred rose in her heart. Was this person even human? How could he be so clever?
But she couldn't admit it: "Prince, I have no reason to do such a thing. I truly came under their orders to poison you."
As Feng Qing said this, she desperately tried to pull her hand back. If he squeezed any longer, her hand would be crippled. She was a doctor, after all, what could she do without her hand?
Fortunately, Rong Ling did not intend to cripple her hand. He released her hand in time, but his expression remained unsightly.
"Do you think someone like you could get close enough to me to poison me? If they truly wanted to poison me, why not send Second Miss Feng in their place?"
Was he saying that Second Miss Feng, Feng Yao, was more capable than her?
Feng Qing sneered inwardly. Wasn't he just implying she wasn't as pretty as Feng Yao? Men indeed are all shameless rakes.
While cursing inwardly, Feng Qing spoke seriously: "Prince, Feng Yao is the Feng Family's carefully groomed pawn to become the Empress. How could they bear to use such a pawn? As for me, I am the Feng Family's discard, which is why they sent me."
This time, Rong Ling did not speak again but stared at Feng Qing with dark eyes, slowly opening his mouth.
"I can give you a chance to prove yourself. Prove first that yesterday's wedding sedan was not orchestrated by you but by the Emperor or the Feng Family, and I will spare your life."
As his words fell, he suddenly ordered his men beside him: "Take her to the woodshed and lock her up."
Feng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but realizing she would be locked up in the woodshed, she struggled to speak: "Prince, if you're giving me a chance to prove myself, why still lock me in the woodshed?"
