The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 248: Picking Bones

"There's no way I would have had time to do all this in such a short time."

"You're talking nonsense!" Just after Bai Qianxi opened her mouth, Chu Yingruo suddenly stood up and said, "Who knows when you left the banquet hall to meet the queen? And when did you come back?"

"You said everyone saw it. There were so many people present at the time. Who really noticed you?"

"Even if you saw it, who can guarantee that it was the time you really came back?"

Chu Yingruo couldn't wait and wanted to trample the person into the mud so that he couldn't even get up!

Although she was only doing this to target Bai Qianxi, everyone felt that what she said made sense.

There were indeed a lot of people present at that time.

Some people recalled and found that apart from the people or things that left a deep impression on them, they really didn't pay much attention to other situations.

"Who said no one noticed! I noticed the situation at that time! And Wu Niang was with me at the time, I can testify for her!"

Just after Chu Yingruo spoke, Cheng Shaoyi could no longer hold back and stood up.

Tell everything you know.

"But that's just what you said. Who knows the truth? What if you're lying? Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with her?"

"Apart from yourselves, are there any other witnesses?"

"You are just nitpicking!"

Cheng Shaoyi didn't expect that even after he said this, Chu Yingruo would still find fault with them.

Why can't what she said be used as evidence?
"Then I'll assume that you're telling the truth, but there's still a little bit." Chu Yingruo held her head high, like a red chicken that had won a fight.

"How do you explain the cloth in the corpse's hand? Are you trying to say that someone else framed you? But this is extremely rare silk, and every piece of it is recorded."

"Even I only got five!"

When she said this, Chu Yingruo looked at Bai Qianxi with some jealousy.

In fact, she had never lacked any of these precious things since she was a child. With the favor of her uncle, she only had to ask for what she wanted.

But the most important thing now is——

The dress made of natural silk that Bai Qianxi was wearing was given to her by her third cousin himself!

How can she be?
It’s a relief to have my third cousin personally deliver clothes to me!
Cheng Shaoyi wanted to continue speaking, but Emperor Dongli spoke up, "Okay, I know what you mean, and I also know your relationship."

"But now all the evidence is solid. Xuyang is indeed the most suspicious. No matter what, I must give an explanation to Concubine Yun and my son."

"Someone is coming——"

"Your Majesty! Wait!"

Just when Emperor Dongli ordered people to hold Bai Qianxi down, Madam Zhao was shocked, and she immediately stood up and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to trust the county lady. She is not someone who would do such a thing."

"Also, although there is no evidence to prove that she is innocent, there is also no evidence to prove that she did all this, right?"

"Who said there is no evidence? Isn't so much evidence enough?" Chu Yingruo stood up again and looked at Madam Zhao with sarcasm.

"I understand that you have a good relationship with Bai Qianxi, but now, my little cousin has lost his life!"

"If we can't bring the murderer to justice now, how can my little cousin rest in peace in the afterlife?"

"Uncle Emperor, no matter what, please make sure you handle this matter fairly. The little prince's life must not be lost in vain."

Chu Yingruo cast an angry look at Bai Qianxi. No matter whether you did what happened today or not, you are destined to die!
Looking at this person who had been targeting Xi'er, and looking at that slightly familiar face, Madam Zhao felt annoyed and took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, in fact, I also think that what the princess said is reasonable. Just as the princess said, Your Majesty should handle this matter fairly. You can't let a bad guy go, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person."

"Now that all the evidence is not yet complete, is it too inappropriate to convict based on mere speculation?"

Seeing that both of them seemed to have a point, Emperor Dongli sighed helplessly, "You get up first. I didn't say that you were convicted without reason. Now I am just detaining you for interrogation."

The worry on Madam Zhao's face did not ease. Although Xier was to be detained and interrogated, there were many people who were jealous of her. If anyone interfered in this trial, she would be in big trouble!

No! No way, Bai Qianxi must not be taken away for interrogation!
Madam Zhao seemed to have made some kind of decision. She clenched her hands, slowly loosened them, and looked at Bai Qianxi.

Bai Qianxi was stunned when she saw her resolute expression. Before she could react, she felt a chill on her face.

As the veil was removed, Bai Qianxi's face, as white as jade and as delicate as a demon, was exposed to everyone's view.

Her eyes were slightly startled, and her temperament was cold and indifferent, making her seem like a fairy from Tianshan Mountain, making her inviolable.

Everyone present was so stunned that they couldn't even breathe a breath.

"Aju!" A pair of voices called back everyone's thoughts. Emperor Dongli's pupils dilated as he stared at Bai Qianxi's face with surprise, confusion, and even excitement!
"His Majesty?"

Just when Emperor Dongli wanted to move forward, Deyu beside him reminded him.

Madam Zhao did not miss this scene. Seeing his reaction, she finally let go of her worries.

In this way, His Majesty will never attack Xier again, but I don't know...

Will the road ahead for this child be smooth?
With Deyu's reminder, Emperor Dongli finally reacted a little, and his excited heart was briefly suppressed.

"Father!"

At this moment, Ye Beiling finally received the news from the front and rushed over in time. After seeing the situation at the scene, there was nothing he didn't understand.

"No matter what, please believe that Xier will never do such a thing. Please give me some time. I will definitely find out the truth!" Ye Beiling knelt on the ground.

Looking at the person in front of me with his back straight.

Emperor Dongli's temple suddenly began to throb.

"you!"

Seeing that the emperor's uncle seemed to be about to explode in anger, Chu Yingruo immediately stood up and said, "Third cousin, get up quickly! All this is her--"

"you shut up!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Chu Yingruo looked at her third cousin in disbelief, and then looked at her uncle in disbelief.

Emperor Dongli rubbed his temples and looked at the person in front of him whom he had doted on for a long time, "Please let me be quiet for a while."

After saying that, he ignored her.

Emperor Dongli looked at Ye Beiling again, "You should get up first. I haven't said what I'm going to do to her yet, but she is indeed the most suspicious now."

"To ensure fairness, I cannot let her leave now. At least, she should stay in the palace for the time being until all suspicions are cleared."

Emperor Dongli looked at Bai Qianxi, the look in his eyes was really hard to read, but from what he could see so far, the other party at least had no ill intentions.

If it was just about staying, Bai Qianxi would not be unable to accept it.

Ye Beiling wanted to say something else but was stopped by her.
