Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

Nangong Zhen angrily glared at Yan Xiaoxi as he prayed in his heart that Yan Xiaoxi wouldn't be as smart as he thought.

However, things were not as people expected.

Following that, Yan Xiaoxi said, "Everyone saw that this consort copied his handwriting with a piece of paper that can imprint the words' Crown Prince '. In fact, this isn't to prove that the Crown Prince wants to rebel, but to answer the question that the Crown Prince posed. The evidence that Minister Lin spoke of is the same as the Crown Prince's copy; it's a forgery."

"So that's how it is." Liu Zhitian suddenly realized something.

"Makes sense." A certain official nodded in agreement.

"Indeed. According to what Princess Rushuang said, as long as you copy out the letter, the crime of conspiring against you can be committed by anyone."

"…"

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar as they expressed their opinions.

"But, how could an ordinary person obtain Prince Lin's calligraphy and paintings?" Someone else raised a question, and the noisy scene immediately quieted down.

"I'll have to ask royal brother that question." Nangong Lin finally opened his mouth and spoke. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Nangong Zhen.

What did that mean? What does Prince Lin's calligraphy have to do with the crown prince?

Today, the ministers all felt that their brains weren't enough. This matter was too complicated.

"I wonder if royal brother still remembers that you once went to this prince's mansion with a painting of a thousand words. If Ben Wang remembers correctly, all of the words in the letter that Minister Lin presented just so happens to be in all of them." Once he said that, the hall went into an uproar again.

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince must be involved in this. However, it was only a guess. No one knew for sure that it must be the Crown Prince.

This time, the truth seemed to have been revealed.

In the imperial family, it was impossible to avoid competition for generations after generations. Regarding this, the ministers were already used to it.

All they had to do was protect themselves and their heads. As for the others, who would be the emperor, they actually didn't have any conflicts with each other.

"That thousand word atlas, the crown prince, was unluckily lost a month ago." Nangong Zhen hesitated for a few seconds before giving this answer.

"Oh, what a coincidence." This reason was something that no one present believed.

However, since Minister Lin was dead, and there was no proof, this matter could be considered as over.

After the curtain had been drawn, Yan Xiaoxi's tense face finally broke out into a smile.

"Little Lin Lin, are you alright now?" "Then I finally have something to eat. That's great!" Yan Xiaoxi cheered excitedly.

However, this sentence was immediately taken aback by everyone present.

So it turned out that the reason Princess Lin had done so many things was for the sake of food. This reason caused everyone to be flabbergasted.

They didn't know whether to praise Yan Xiaoxi for being smart or to praise her for being naive.

At the same time, he was even more confused as to whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that Nangong Lin had married an imperial concubine like her.

Just as everyone was relieved and was about to leave, they heard an anxious call: "Xue'er, Xue'er, are you alright?"

As he looked towards the source of the voice, he saw Liu Zhitian holding the unconscious Liu Zhixue, shaking her delicate body with worry written all over his face.

"What about Miss Liu? Why did you suddenly faint? " The ministers approached one after another, but no one could figure it out.

"Look." A certain official pointed at Liu Zhixue's jet-black lips.

"The phenomenon of being poisoned." Even those who did not know medicine could tell that Liu Zhixue's symptoms were definitely due to poison.

However, how could he be poisoned?

The food in the hall was strictly controlled. There were people who specifically tried to eat it, and everyone was clearly eating the same food. Why did it have to be Liu Zhixue?

This was too strange, it didn't make any sense at all.

Just as everyone was puzzled, they heard Nangong Zhen angrily shout, "How bold! Princess Lin, you actually dared to poison Miss Liu. You're too audacious!"

Hearing this angry roar, everyone's attention was attracted by Nangong Zhen.

No one understood where he had seen it coming from. It was Yan Xiaoxi who poisoned him?

Moreover, why did Princess Lin want to poison Miss Liu for no reason at all? Everything was in suspense.

No, there seemed to be something wrong.

As the ministers thought about it, they suddenly understood what was going on. There was an indirect relationship between Nangong Lin, Yan Xiaoxi and Liu Zhixue.

Everyone in the Southern Water Country knew that Prince Lin and Miss Liu had an engagement since they were young. If Prince Lin hadn't broken it, then the person sitting on Princess Lin's seat would be Yan Xiaoxi instead of Yan Xiaoxi.

With that said, everyone began to understand why Nangong Zhen was the first to think that Yan Xiaoxi had poisoned him. She indeed had a reasonable excuse.

However, all of this was just a guess.

"He has no proof, and the Crown Prince can't point fingers at Princess Zhenglin without a reason?" There seemed to be some intent of avenging a personal grudge, and many ministers present were of the same opinion.

"Everyone, please look at Miss Liu's hand." Hearing Nangong Zhen's words, all the ministers turned to look at Liu Zhixue's hand. Unexpectedly, they saw Liu Zhixue's hand reach out a finger, and she was pointing in the direction where Yan Xiaoxi was standing.

There was no evidence that could confirm the murderer's identity as the person in question. In that case, Nangong Zhen's words were not just spouting nonsense.

"Someone, arrest Princess Lin!" This time, Nangong Zhen's tone was full of confidence.

Yan Xiaoxi could never have imagined that the duck she cooked would fly away before she could even eat it, having just received the green bean cake.

No, give her the green bean cake.

Give her delicious food, she's so hungry, I can't let her live.

At this moment, the guards had already moved out to block Yan Xiaoxi, preventing her from moving. They completely restricted her freedom.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a wronged expression. She had originally wanted to ask for help, but she really wanted to eat green bean cake.

However, she was surprised to see that Nangong Lin's deep black eyes were filled with suspicion. Even though it had only been a fleeting moment, Yan Xiaoxi had still managed to see it.

Did Nangong Lin also think that it was really her that had poisoned Liu Zhixue?

That's right, she was indeed a poison expert. Previously, she had also used ticklish powder on Liu Zhixue. That was because she could not stand Liu Zhixue's actions and merely wanted to teach her a lesson.

His master had said that one must not lose the ability to guard against others, and that one must not have the intention to harm others.

Liu Zhixue could not be considered to have offended her, so why did she poison her?

Yan Xiaoxi also realized that no one present believed her. This included Nangong Lin. He couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed in his heart. The matter regarding the green bean cake had long been forgotten by her.

"Take him away." Nangong Zhen wanted to embarrass Nangong Lin in front of everyone.

He had made a mistake when trying to rebel. He didn't expect that he would end up suffering from the poison. It seemed that even the heavens were helping him.
