Chapter 114: Reversal, Plot Twist

lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “This prince has no interest in learning those useless trifles. Besides, as the esteemed Prince Regent of Beiling, I wouldn't stoop to being some charlatan wande..."If Xiao Ying'er wanted to kill Zhao Ruozhi, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now Besides, with her personality, even if she wanted to kill Zhao Ruozhi, she would probably dismember the body into eight pieces and feed it to dogs, leaving no trace of the corpse. How could she leave the body for you to identify Xiao Ying'er, do you think what this palace said is right"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his jade bone fan, a playful smile on his handsome face. He half-closed his eyes, looking at her with a knowing smirk that was neither laughter nor seriousness.

Could Su Qingying have killed Zhao Ruizhi He was the first one to disbelieve it!

Although she is usually carefree and lighthearted, she is a principled person who always does things openly and honestly. She would never do something so underhanded; it's simply not her style.

"What the heck! Are you sure you're defending me" Su Qingying's face darkened, and she snatched up a bunch of grapes and hurled them at him.

Damn, is she this cruel

After reprimanding Shangguan Jinghong, Su Qingying suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing as she scanned the surroundings. Her gaze was as cold and deep as smoke, "All of you, shut your mouths! You fools are ignorant and foolish, listening to rumors and blindly following them. You have no idea what the truth is, just spouting nonsense all day long. Do you think I'm deaf! When it comes to important matters, you do nothing but gossip behind people's backs like flies, it's absolutely disgusting!"

The noisy scene fell silent all at once, and everyone was speechless.

They all still remembered Su Qingying's murderous look, and quickly clamped their mouths shut, afraid that she would remember them and the next unlucky one would be themselves.

Lan Bo couldn't stand her arrogance and immediately put on a righteous air, saying: "Su Qingying, don't be too arrogant!"

"So what if I'm arrogant What business is it of yours! Say another word and I'll smash your mouth!" Su Qingying said defiantly.

"You..." Lan Bo was about to retort when suddenly a chopstick flew at him like lightning, landing squarely between his legs. Just a few centimeters off and he would have been castrated!

“This is the last warning! Even dogs look to their owners. For the sake of Emperor Ximing, I spare you this time!” Su Qingying warned coldly, truly not understanding why some people just couldn't understand human language. “Emperor Ximing, please control your people.”

"Eastern Mountain's Fifth Princess, this is Western Underworld, not your Eastern Mountain. My subjects don't belong to you to discipline. You are overstepping your bounds." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's face was rather ugly. Lan Bo was the right minister of Western Underworld, how could Su Qing Ying be in charge of disciplining him This was slapping him in the face in public!

"If you can't even control your own people, who are you to blame" Glancing at Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, Su Qingying turned her eyes to Zhao Tianqi, "Zhao Tianqi, you keep saying that it was this princess who killed Zhao Ruozhi, then please provide some evidence. Without evidence, just shut up!"

Xianlan seemed to be prepared. Upon hearing this, she immediately presented a delicate white jade hairpin, "Also, Your Highness, I found this hairpin near the Third Princess. As I am the one responsible for the Third Princess's food and lodging, I can assure you that this hairpin does not belong to her. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Seeing this, Su Qingying's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. She recognized it; it was the hairpin she had worn in her hair today. There was no need to think about how it ended up in her hand.

Su Qingying's eyes flashed with mockery. They were really putting a lot of effort into this, even trying to steal her hairpin.

“This hairpin isn’t… how could this be…” The palace maid who had just taken Su Qingying to change clothes stared at the hairpin and exclaimed in surprise.

"You know what Get your act together!" Blue's ears perked up at her exclamation, and he barked back sharply.

"Your Majesty, Right Grand Secretary, I… I really don't know!" The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head. But the more she did this, the more suspicious it became.

"Pull him down, and execute him!" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's eyes turned completely cold, too lazy to waste any more words.

“No! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I’ll tell you everything, I’ll say it all!” The palace maid’s face turned pale as she repeatedly kowtowed. Turning to Su Qingying, her eyes were filled with fear. “Princess Dongyue, I’m sorry, I can’t keep it a secret anymore. I have to speak the truth. Please don’t blame me.”

Su Ziyi's heart skipped a beat, she inwardly cried out "bad", her eyes flashed fiercely at the maid, anger surging out, "You maidservant, don't talk nonsense!"

"Eldest Brother, please remain calm. Let her continue speaking. I'm curious to hear what she wants to hide from me." Su Qingying smiled sweetly and leaned closer to Su Ziyi, motioning for the palace maid to continue, a peculiar smile playing on her lips.

"Slave..." Facing Su Qingying's smiling eyes, the palace maid was slightly flustered.

For some reason, under her gaze, she felt like she had nowhere to hide, a creeping fear taking hold of her heart.

"Su Qingying, if you have nothing to hide, why would you frighten her!" Seeing the palace maid too frightened to speak, Zhao Tianqi said unhappily.

“......”Su Qingying twitched her lips, damn it, which dog-eyed bastard thought she was scared This was clearly the smile of a goddess, okay It's her own guilty conscience, what does it have to do with her

He glanced at Su Qingying, a chill flashing in Xuen Yuan Luo Chen's eyes, "Speak, or you will face the consequences!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Before I led Princess Dongyue Wugong to change her clothes, I saw a hairpin exactly like this on her head. On the way, Princess Dongxuanyue said she was thirsty, so I went to pour her a cup of tea. When I returned, I found the hairpin on her head was gone. The maidservant was puzzled but didn't think much of it. I never expected it to be... Your Majesty, the maidservant really doesn't know anything."

“Now that we have irrefutable evidence, Princess Dongyue, what else can you say” Murdering a princess is no small crime, and now with no one to refute the accusations, this is practically a dead end. Xuan Yuan Luo Chen was very curious how Su Qingying would prove her innocence.

"Applause!" bursts of applause echoed in the arena, Su Qingying clapped along by herself, causing everyone to stare at her.

Su Qingying walked out of her position, her expression calm, a smile playing on her lips with a hint of mockery. "Amazing, truly amazing. This plot is crude and not clever, but it's very effective. It completely blocked my escape route, making it really hard for me to turn things around. To put me in such a desperate situation, you guys have really put in a lot of effort!"

"Dongyue's Fifth Princess, the truth has come to light, there is no room for argument! It truly shows that justice prevails, and retribution is swift!" Lan Bo had secretly sentenced her to death. This situation was inescapable, no matter how capable she was.

"Lan Bo, I return your words to you verbatim! It's a pity, you want me dead You're still a little short of the mark!" Su Qingying curled her lips into a graceful arc, a hint of playfulness in her tone, with disdain flashing in her eyes.

"What do you mean" Lan Bo's temples throbbed violently.

"West Ming Emperor, I want to personally interrogate that palace maid. Later, I hope you can make them remain absolutely silent, no matter what they hear, they are not allowed to speak a word. I will reveal the truth to you all." Su Qingying said with conviction, her stunning face beaming with a confident smile, dazzlingly bright.

Even Si Tu Wan'er and Rong Yue were piqued by her words, involuntarily perking up their ears. rolling down his back. Xuan Yuan Mo, who had just returned from the military camp, was also covered in black lines. What did he mean by having a crush on his older brother This was simply too...>He d...
