Xiao Yao did not forget that when she was taken away by Chu Qianli, she seemed to have vaguely heard Chu Qianli mention something about a double.
Chu Qianli had said, whose double was she?
That's right, Chu Qianli had really said that.
At that time, Xiao Yao hadn't paid attention, but now, Xiao Yao remembered.
"She said I resemble her, and that your fourth imperial brother only kept me in Wuzhou Garden because he saw me as her substitute."
"But you are not her, after all," Feng Jinrui returned to his seat.
His fingertips seemed to still retain the warmth left by her face.
"You are not her, and there are no traces of any disguise on your face."
"My face is real, of course," Xiao Yao rolled her eyes at him and continued to apply needles to Fu Ning.
"But..."
She herself had forgotten who she was before.
However, she had promised her master not to speak of it, and she would absolutely not speak of it.
Even if she still genuinely considered Feng Jinrui a friend, she couldn't say it.
But, who was she before, before her master rescued her?
She had never asked about these things, following her master's instructions.
Although she hadn't asked, now that Feng Jinrui mentioned it, she had doubts, and the doubts began to grow larger.
Who was she, why was she severely injured and abandoned? What had she experienced before?
"How is she now?" Feng Jinrui didn't have so many thoughts.
Although he did feel that Xiao Yao was very similar to the former Chu Qianli, he had never heard of changing one's face and dared not believe that such dark arts existed in the world.
Disguise was possible, wearing a human skin mask was also possible, but changing a real face? Absolutely impossible.
Therefore, the demoness was the demoness, but the former demoness had now disappeared.
As for Xiao Yao, she was Xiao Yao.
No matter how similar, she was still Xiao Yao.
"The poison has not been completely cleared. Although some has been removed, the poisoning is too deep. I have no certainty whether she will survive."
The poisoning was so potent, the method was quite cruel.
"They were so close before, why would she be so ruthless? I'm not trying to speak ill of your future fourth imperial sister behind her back, but no normal person would be so heavy-handed."
Even a death row inmate could be apprehended and executed.
What was the point of administering potent poison?
It was clearly like silencing a witness.
"She wasn't like this before..." Feng Jinrui didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Talking about it made him feel sad.
The former demoness was truly... very, very good.
Where had the demoness who gave him chocolate and smiled at him gone?
Seeing the current Chu Qianli, he had the feeling that the former demoness had vanished from this world.
Even though the person was still alive, they were like dead. People who hadn't experienced this truly wouldn't understand.
"But why do I always have a feeling..."
She didn't know if she should say it or not, it seemed like she was disrupting their family relationship.
"What feeling?" Feng Jinrui was happy to hear her speak.
Although she was not the demoness, listening to her speak was like listening to the former demoness speak, it just felt very comfortable.
"I think she is killing to silence a witness."
There was a period of silence in the room, so quiet it was somewhat terrifying.
Feng Jinrui did not speak again, and Xiao Yao probably felt that she had said too much.
After all, they were family.
But in her heart, she truly suspected this.
Chu Qianli must be killing to silence a witness!
Fu Ning must know some of her secrets.
"Whether you believe it or not, you must find someone to protect her during this time!"
Perhaps, when Fu Ning woke up, she would give them a shocking answer.
