She wanted to see how many tricks they could play.

Just as heart-child left and she was about to have someone bring Liu Ru Yue away, there was a report that Princess was injured.

Even heart-child, who was always a troublemaker in the past, would not have injured Princess for no reason, let alone now that she had recovered from her illness.

Moreover, how could the heart-child steal secret book? It was impossible for heart-child to know that Princess had secret book on him.

There was clearly someone who wanted to frame heart-child, and of course, she was very clear that the matter of robbing a secret book was even more so to frame Prime Minister, and her.

Thus, this matter was not simple.

However, she had always felt that the Princess was a pretty good child, so why would she frame the heart-child? Furthermore, the Princess was still so young and was only a twelve year old child. No one would think that the Princess was lying.

Therefore, the current situation was very disadvantageous to heart-child.

"Young lady of the Queen, Ying'er did not speak carelessly, and Ying'er was indeed speaking the truth, as she was the one who truly stole the secret book, the one that royal father was looking for when he was still alive. Uncle Wu had found it a few days ago, and just brought it back with him yesterday. Today, Ying'er entered the palace and was about to offer it to Emperor, but she stole it away, and she even used a dagger to injure Ying'er." Princess explained once again. His tone was very firm, even very firm.

The Princess Yi — — Ye Lan Ying was not the daughter of the Emperor, but was instead the younger brother of the Emperor, Prince Rong. Prince Rong was the younger brother of the same father and mother, and he was completely loyal to the Emperor.

It was a pity that Prince Rong had died on the battlefield five years ago, leaving this woman alone while the Emperor was personally bestowed the title of Princess Yi.

However, Princess does not normally live in the palace.

Seeing Princess's resolute attitude, Queen's body stiffened, and her breathing became ragged from shock.

To hurt the Princess and steal their secret book was a huge crime. They were all crimes committed by the nine families.

At this moment, even the Emperor's face darkened.

However, what Princess saw might not be true. She guessed that it was very likely that someone had disguised themselves as her, injured Princess, and took away the secret book, using that as a way to frame her.

Tang Ke Xin discovered that there was a wound on Princess's arm. However, it was not very deep, and the bleeding had already stopped.

"Emperor, this humble girl has something to report. This matter might be related to Princess's injury." Liu Ru Yue who had been hiding in the crowd all this time suddenly stood up.

Just now, she had clearly ordered her men to bring Liu Ru Yue away, why is she still here?!

"Speak." Although Emperor was unhappy with Liu Ru Yue's sudden appearance, but she said that this matter was related to her, so she naturally could not refuse to say it.

The corner of Tang Ke Xin's mouth curved into a slight sneer. As expected, everything was as she had expected.

Okay, she wanted to see what kind of tricks she could play.

"Earlier, this humble one discovered that Miss Tang's expression was flustered, as though something had happened. Out of concern, I wanted to ask him, but I didn't expect him to suddenly stab my daughter with the dagger in her hand. This is something that many people saw, but the Empress of Queen was afraid of disturbing the banquet, so she ordered me not to say anything, and sent people to treat my daughter." Liu Ru Yue's expression was filled with fear, but the meaning behind her words were extremely clear, and could not be any more obvious.

Queen narrowed her eyes.

"At that time, this humble girl thought that Miss Tang was angry because of Young Master Mu, so she did such a thing, but now that I think about it, it seems strange. At that time, Miss Tang's expression was anxious, obviously she had discovered something, and furthermore, why is Miss Tang holding a dagger in her hand?" Liu Ru Yue frowned, she was slightly surprised, and her face was once again filled with fear and analysis.

When Mu Shao Yu, who was sitting below, heard this, his body moved. It was as if he wanted to stand up, but he was suppressed by Old Man Mu, who was beside him.

"It was Imperial Physician Song who treated my daughter's injuries. He helped her pull out a dagger." Liu Ru Yue said as she took out the dagger, "This is the dagger."

"This dagger is very similar to the one used by Princess. It's really similar. It should be the same one." Princess said as she saw the dagger.

Queen's expression changed drastically.

Prime Minister's expression had also completely changed.

Ye Lan Chen was so anxious that he started to sweat.

Crown Prince's eyes looked at Tang Ke Xin, and lightly flashed.

Tang Ke Xin sneered to herself. Until now, she had already completely understood what was going on.

"Reporting to Emperor, let the imperial physician examine the wounds of both Princess and himself. We'll know if they're the same." Lord Qin of the Ministry of Justice suddenly spoke. "Imperial Physician Liu, you were the one who took care of Princess's injuries. Take a look." Emperor narrowed his eyes and gave the order solemnly.

"From the look of the wound, it should have been caused by the same dagger." Imperial Physician Liu checked carefully, and replied with a deep voice.

"Emperor, this matter is related to the safety of the Princess, and it is also related to the secret book, we should immediately have someone search them. If we drag this out for too long, the thief might bring the secret book out of the palace …" Old General Li suggested.

"Men, search." Emperor looked at Queen, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and gave his orders again.

Everyone's expression became solemn and serious.

Only Tang Ke Xin's expression was extremely natural, without the slightest bit of abnormality.

Not long after, guards entered the hall, holding onto a book wrapped in black cloth.

"That's right, this is the secret book that this Princess wanted to offer to Emperor today. Luckily, we found it." When Princess saw the secret book, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Hearing that, everyone sucked in a deep breath. Now that they had witness and evidence, no matter how strong Tang Ke Xin was, it was impossible for him to deny it.

Looking at all these, the corner of Tang Ke Xin's lips curled up slightly. Good, really good, really a big play, what a brilliant scheme.

She knew, Liu Ru Yue definitely didn't have that kind of ability, and ordinary people also definitely didn't have that kind of ability.

Indeed, at this moment, all the evidence pointed towards her. All the witness and evidence had been gathered, and it was absolutely evidence that she could not defend herself against.

But would she, Tang Ke Xin, be so easily trampled on?

That was impossible, she, Tang Ke Xin, had never had such a phrase in her dictionary.

Therefore, this show had only just begun. The most exciting part was yet to come.

"Tang Ke Xin, what do you think?" At the moment, Emperor's face was gloomy, his voice was cold, and even the way he addressed Yun Che became cold and hard.

It was very obvious that under these circumstances, Emperor believed that Tang Ke Xin was the one who did this, and he was already angry.

This was the most dangerous thing to do.

When Emperor said this, the expressions of many people in the hall changed.

The Empress was no longer as calm as she usually was. It was obvious that she was panicking a little, and her body was unconsciously tensing up.

How could this be?

In a situation like this, if all the evidence pointed towards the heart-child, how was she going to save him? Queen actually understood in her heart that in this kind of situation, there was no other way.

Initially, she still had a sliver of hope towards Emperor, hoping that he would believe in his innocence. But now, this hope had been dashed.

Prime Minister was so scared that his face turned pale.

Ye Lan Jue's usually calm eyes began to change.

Liu Ru Yue's pupils slightly contracted, vaguely becoming a bit more proud. Tang Ke Xin, you're dead today.

Only, at that moment, Tang Ke Xin stood there quietly with a face full of calmness and indifference, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, she was like a cloud floating high in the sky. She was far away and elegant, making it impossible for people to understand her, but it was also impossible for them to ignore her.

Upon seeing Tang Ke Xin like this, everyone was shocked. Injuring the Princess, stealing the secret book related to the Dragon Bloodline, and even knocking the Princess out afterwards. Each and every one of these crimes were all capital crimes, and could even cause nine generations of the sect to be consigned to eternal damnation.

In this situation, anyone else would have panicked. Yet, she was actually so calm and indifferent?! There seemed to be a faint smile on her lips.

She was still smiling at this time? She couldn't have been scared silly, right? However, she was a fool in the first place, this illness had just recovered, and in such a situation, she would be scared silly. Even the Queen would not be able to protect her today.

Tang Ke Xin was definitely going to die today, and the Prime Minister's Estate and the Empress would definitely be implicated as well.

In this situation, if no one could do anything about it, what could a fool like her do?

It's over, this fool is really done for today.

When Ye Lan Jue saw her like this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. This matter, this situation, it seemed like a dead end for anyone, if they wanted to find evidence in a short amount of time to prove their innocence, it would be very difficult, very difficult, because this matter, one after another, was all planned.

The person who designed all of this was extremely brilliant. He didn't even leave a single flaw.

Even he had yet to come up with a good idea.

Right now, Liu Ru Yue's matter was already insignificant, even if it was proven that Liu Ru Yue was not injured by her, it would still be of no use, because the most important thing now was injuring the Princess.

If not for the secret book, Emperor would not have gotten angry.

However, even under such circumstances, she didn't panic in the slightest, and instead seemed to have a plan in mind.

Was he confident in this situation? At this moment, she truly astonished him, even shocking him.

What was she going to do next? At this moment, his deep eyes contained a sense of anticipation. "Emperor, my daughter will definitely not do such a thing."

"The Emperor, it can't be the heart-child."

"Father, this son believes in the heart."

Almost at the same time, the Prime Minister, the Queen Empress and the Fourth Prince opened their mouths to plead for Tang Ke Xin.

Tang Ke Xin's heart was slightly moved. In this kind of situation, those who could plead for her without caring about anything else, were the ones who truly cared for her.

Although Prime Minister was his own father, to dare to stand out right now required a lot of courage and sacrifice.

There was no need to mention the Queen.
