Tang Ke Xin's eyes narrowed. In this kind of situation, Xiao Cui definitely could not lie, but if she said she did not know who had killed Qiuju, then she definitely did not know.

She had paid attention to the dead man. The cause of death was the wound on his forehead. The weapon was the bloodstained stone on the side of the corpse. Judging from the wound, the dead man must have been hit at least three times.

Xiao Cui had definitely been sent here to frame her, and was definitely here a little earlier than her, but she did not see the culprit.

A martial arts expert would use a stone to kill someone? How many times do I need to smash it? Would it give a small palace maid a chance to struggle?

Obviously not.

There was only one explanation for all of this, then, and that was that the murderer had only done it to create a scene of murder for a weak woman like her.

Even if the Board of Justice were to investigate, they would probably not find any flaws.

However, she had already proven her innocence. As for the other matters, under these circumstances, she couldn't interfere.

It wasn't something she could manage.

The palace was a place for eating humans. If she could avoid it, she would avoid it. She did not want to die without a clear reason.

"Emperor, this humble girl has finished asking his questions." Tang Ke Xin looked at Emperor and laughed lightly.

"Right." Emperor only regained his senses after hearing her words, as he replied softly. His eyes looked at her, his heart was in shock.

This matter may seem simple, but it is actually not simple at all. Every sentence, every step, must be perfectly grasped.

If he hadn't tried to read a person's mind to the extreme, how could he have possibly done so?

However, her illness had just recovered, how could it be possible?

His eyes looked at Tang Ke Xin, his emotions secretly surging, but Tang Ke Xin still had a smile on his face, his smile was very pure, very real, faint and gentle, without a single hint of edge, and it looked extremely comfortable.

Emperor was slightly startled, was it really a fluke?

Crown Prince pursed his lips, his eyes staring straight at Tang Ke Xin, his dark and silent eyes containing traces of coldness.

However, the corner of Ye Lan Jue's lips slowly curled up, and revealed a profound curve. This woman's skills are not small, and he hid it deep enough.

Tang Ke Xin naturally saw the Emperor's expression, and did not ignore the surprised gazes of the crowd.

This matter had already frightened Emperor to such an extent that no one knew what the rest of them were thinking.

She really didn't want to be the first one to take the lead.

This matter was obviously not that simple. If it wasn't directly involving her, she definitely wouldn't have cared.

Now, even if he did make a move, he couldn't show off too much. He had to keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

However, what had just happened had already happened. How could he conceal it?

The truth was the truth, while the truth was the truth. No one could tell the truth from the truth. This was the highest realm of concealment.

"Damned servant, how dare he frame Miss Tang?" Ming Gui Fei suddenly roared.

"Your servant deserves to die, it was your servant's fault. When I came over, I saw that Qiuju was dead. At that time, it was only your servant who was scared. Your servant originally wanted to leave, but …." "Xiao Cui's body trembled. It is unknown if it was because she was nervous, but her voice was slightly trembling.

Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Tang Ke Xin suddenly walked in front of her, squatted and quickly placed his hand on her pulse.

"Tang, Miss Tang …." Xiao Cui was shocked, she looked at her in shock, and her heart jumped, because what happened just now, she was already scared of Tang Ke Xin from the bottom of her heart, like a frightened bird.

"Don't worry about me, continue talking." Tang Ke Xin chuckled at her, her voice was gentle, it was not harmful, and even carried a sense of innocence, like a playful child.

It was just that, by being so close to her, Tang Ke Xin could smell a very unique scent from her body. It seemed like it was the fragrance of flowers, yet it didn't seem like it, it was very unique.

This was the first time Tang Ke Xin had smelled such a unique scent. It was very faint, ordinary people wouldn't be able to smell it, when she was standing far away, she only had a slight feeling about it, but this time, she approached to confirm it.

Xiao Cui's eyes flickered, she steadied her mind, and continued: "This servant realized that Qiu Ju is dead and wanted to leave, but coincidentally, the Miss Tang has come over, and I was afraid that someone would misunderstand that I had killed Qiu Ju, thus, this servant wanted to push the matter to Miss Tang."

"You're done?" When Xiao Cui stopped, Tang Ke Xin looked at her and gently smiled, her voice was soft and harmless.

"En, go on. I'm done." Seeing the innocent smile on Tang Ke Xin's face, Xiao Cui was actually shocked. Just now, Tang Ke Xin had also revealed a naive smile, causing her to completely let go of her guard, and was tricked.

"Alright." Tang Ke Xin gently nodded her head, the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared, her expression darkened, and suddenly became serious.

"A person's normal pulse rate is three or four times a second, and just now the rate of your pulse rate reached eight times a second (ancient units of time, equivalent to two or three seconds). The obvious tachycardia of the heartbeat means that you are very nervous, and when a person is trying to remember what really happened, his eyes will look up to the left. When a person's brain is "building" a sound or image (in other words, if they are lying), their eyeball moves in the upper right direction. When you were talking just now, the eyeball moved four times in the upper right direction, so you are lying.

Tang Ke Xin said it very professionally. She had used a specialized term in psychology that was professional enough to ensure that no one present could understand it.

Of course, what she wanted was for no one to understand.

Xiao Cui's body went limp and collapsed onto the ground, like a pile of mud.

"No, no, I'm not lying." Xiao Cui was already scared out of his wits.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Other than the last line, 'So, you're lying', they didn't understand anything else. It felt like they were listening to a scripture of heaven.

However, even though she didn't understand the meaning behind those words, she still felt a strong sense of danger and shock. The palace maid was almost scared to death.

However, no one had expected that in the next moment …
