At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi was completely stunned. She couldn't understand what this man was thinking.

Unexpectedly, he was even more changeable than her.

Forget it, all of this had nothing to do with her.

After settling this matter, she planned to part ways with Nangong Lin and search for the Multicolored Stone and the treasure on her own.

At that time, delicious food and beautiful men were present. Just thinking about this scene made Yan Xiaoxi burst out in laughter.

The ministers looked at Yan Xiaoxi in confusion. No one could understand why she would laugh so suddenly.

Seeing this, Liu Zhixue was stunned. Her face was extremely pale, and even though her long nails had sunk into her flesh, she could not feel any pain.

This was because there was nothing else that was even more eye-catching than Yan Xiaoxi's smile. It was as if she was showing off, but also as if she was ridiculing Yan Xiaoxi's stupidity, every movement, and every expression.

Ever since Yan Xiaoxi had become Nangong Lin's main wife, she and Liu Zhixue had been destined to become enemies.

Nangong Lin shot a glance at Yan Xiaoxi. He knew that there was no one who understood this woman's ridiculous laughter better than him.

There were only two reasons for it. First, she thought of delicious food. Second, she thought of the beautiful man. Looking at her wild laughter just now, she must have thought of these two reasons at the same time.

"Your majesty, are you still going to allow Princess Lin to continue fooling around?" For some reason, Liu Zhitian, who had always been calm, also started to target Yan Xiaoxi.

Nangong Xiao was sitting majestically on top as she glanced at Yan Xiaoxi. She replied, "We can't let Princess Peace say that our Nanshui Country wrongly accused people."

These words were obviously intended to side with Yan Xiaoxi.

Liu Zhitian was stunned. No matter what, he could not imagine that in such a short period of time, Yan Xiaoxi would be able to make someone who didn't believe her start to speak up for her. It was truly strange.

"General Liu, don't be impatient. When this consort takes out some evidence, you'll know whether or not I'm messing around." Yan Xiaoxi naturally understood the reason why Liu Zhitian was so anxious at this moment.

It was likely that he had also noticed the jade pendant and felt that Yan Xiaoxi's next words would definitely be detrimental to Liu Zhixue. Therefore, he decided to open his mouth and try to stop her.

Liu Zhitian's wishful thinking was not bad. If it was any other matter, with his influence in the imperial court, perhaps Nangong Xiao would give him some face.

However, this matter had gone through many twists and turns. The way things developed afterwards was no longer something that anyone could control.

"Duke Lin, don't keep us in suspense." An official couldn't wait to know what was going on.

No matter how hard they tried, none of them managed to figure out what was going on. However, Yan Xiaoxi was the only one who knew the answer to the riddle.

Yan Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and shifted her gaze to the palace maid. She said, "I wonder if everyone knows that the General Liu family will give their children a piece of jade whenever they are born."

Everyone nodded their heads. This matter was no longer a secret in the Southern Water Country.

"I wonder, does Miss Liu wear a jade pendant on her body?" With that, Yan Xiaoxi looked towards Liu Zhixue's waist. Sure enough, there was a crystal clear jade pendant hanging there, and its color was excellent. With one glance, one could tell that it was priceless.

"The jade pendant is here." Liu Zhixue took the jade pendant off her waist. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice under the gazes of everyone.

Yan Xiaoxi took the jade pendant from Liu Zhixue's hand and presented it to everyone. She then pointed at the palace maid once more, "Everyone, look over there."

Everyone's gaze turned towards the direction that Yan Xiaoxi was pointing. When they saw that the palace maid wore a jade pendant of the same kind as Yuliu Zhixue's, they were immediately stunned.

The jade pendant that the palace maid wore looked very similar to Liu Zhixue's. Although the details were different, it was still normal.

Every jade pendant of the Liu Family represented a person. It was designed in an original way and looked similar. However, it was deliberately designed to embellish the details. With just a glance, you could tell who owned the jade pendant.

"Why is General Liu's jade pendant with the palace maid?" This was the doubt in everyone's heart.

However, the answers are often not as complex as we think.

"Don't tell me …" A certain minister looked at Liu Zhitian doubtfully.

He did not finish the rest of his sentence. Although it was just a guess, he could not afford to offend Liu Zhitian.

"That's right, the palace maid is indeed General Liu's daughter." These words shocked everyone present.

The entire Southern Water Country knew that Liu Zhitian only had one daughter, Liu Zhixue.

What was going on?

Was the palace maid really Liu Zhitian's daughter? If not, why was there a jade pendant of the Liu Family?

"Nonsense, this palace maid has nothing to do with this general." Liu Zhitian quickly denied it.

"Yes, the Liu Family only has one daughter. What is Princess Lin planning to do?" Liu Zhixue stared at Yan Xiaoxi with tears in her eyes. Her delicate and touching look really caused people to be unable to help but cherish her.

"This consort is going to tell you all that she was the one behind Miss Liu's poisoning." Every word that came out of Yan Xiaoxi's mouth was shocking.

They had not yet digested the history of the palace maid, and now they were in complete disarray over this matter.

"This matter is very simple. Miss Liu, in order to frame me, you ordered the palace maids to do all this. As for why the palace maids helped her, all of you saw it just now, because they are half-sisters." Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Yan Xiaoxi came to a conclusion.

"So that's how it is." A certain official was enlightened.

"Everything makes sense." The other foreign minister agreed, nodding his head. He must have been in agreement with Yan Xiaoxi's words.

"Didn't Princess Lin hear what this general said? The palace maid has nothing to do with our Liu Family. " Liu Zhitian's voice became louder. Anyone could hear the anger in his words.

Yan Xiaoxi didn't seem to be afraid of Liu Zhitian's intimidating aura. She continued calmly, "Then General Liu, please explain why the palace maid has the Liu Family's jade pendant."

The jade pendant and the one in Liu Zhixue's body were both crystal clear, and definitely not fake.

It was also the first time that Liu Zhitian had encountered such a situation. There was actually someone who could force him to such a state.

As expected, Yan Xiaoxi's performance today was eye-catching, shocking everyone present.

However, how could Liu Zhitian, who had never seen anything like this before, be so easily fooled by a little girl?

"Xue'er originally had a sister, but she died less than a week ago. This is a family matter, and I don't want to talk about it, nor do I want others to know about it." As he said this, Liu Zhitian felt depressed, as if this matter had truly touched upon his past.

No matter how strong or firm a man was, they all had a soft and gentle side to them.

"This was a taboo of our Liu Family. No one dared to bring it up, so outsiders would not know about it. At that time, father made a jade pendant for sister, but it was a pity."

Yan Xiaoxi stood at the side with a petrified expression.

The father and daughter duo's acting was really good. Their teamwork was truly flawless.

No wonder Master always said that everyone in the palace wore a fake mask, making it impossible to see through the hearts of others.

"What about the jade pendant?" Nangong Xiao asked.

"Mother was afraid that Father would be hurt, so she decided to just leave it at that." The meaning of this explanation was obvious, the father and daughter pair were just trying to express that she had picked up the jade pendant of the palace maid.

The palace maid was not the daughter of the Liu Family. Liu Zhixue also had nothing to do with this.

Unfortunately, evidence often exists in life.
