Qing 'Er took the handkerchief and placed it in the hands of her father-in-law, presenting it to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, this is the evidence." The Emperor took the handkerchief and carefully examined it. Other than a few pieces of soil on it, he did not find anything unusual. "This is just an ordinary handkerchief. There's nothing unusual about it.”
Qing `er looked at Tuoba Feng with a confident look. Liu Yun raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, his face filled with joy. Shen Bi, who was beside him, came over and said," Sister, your girl is getting smarter and smarter. After a long time, her every move has become a little like yours."”
Liu Yun smiled lightly and did not say anything. He continued to watch Qing 'er push the scene to the climax. "Your Majesty, this servant clearly saw Miss Tuoba's handkerchief fall to the ground when Miss An and Miss Tuoba were sharpening the mirror. This soil was stained at that time.”
Tuoba Feng was a little anxious. She leaned forward slightly and was about to say something when An Ming, who was beside her, held her hand tightly. An Ming shook her head at her, signaling her not to be rash. Thus, Tuoba Feng could only kneel obediently and not say anything. "Your Majesty, it seems that Qing `er is telling the truth. Tuoba Feng and An Ming really did something so obscene.”
Concubine Mei looked disgusted. She just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible. She didn't care if it affected the previous dynasty. Noble Consort Hua raised her cold eyes and looked at Tuoba Feng's trembling body. Suddenly, she felt a trace of heartache. It was said that Noble Consort Hua was cruel and merciless, but this trace of heartache was real.
"Your Majesty, if we just use this dirt-stained handkerchief to convict Tuoba Feng and An Ming, it's a little too far-fetched. Besides, this handkerchief only belongs to Tuoba Feng, so it can't prove their guilt.”Noble Consort Hua enunciated each word clearly. She was a noble consort after all, so she spoke with much more confidence.
"Beloved Consort's words make sense." The Emperor nodded his head, his fingers on the table subconsciously moving. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Liu Yun's expression changed. He felt that things were not going well. Tuoba Feng and An Ming could not turn the tables. If they did, he would be killed by these two people in the future.
"Your Majesty, Qing 'er, Tao' er, and Wan 'er really saw it and even heard Miss Tuoba's laughter. This servant doesn't dare to lie to Your Majesty.”As soon as Qing 'Er's voice fell, a guard at the door hurriedly walked in and bowed to the emperor." Your Majesty, I found a corpse in the rose garden."”
When the guard finished speaking, everyone was shocked. The emperor immediately became furious. He slammed the table and roared at the hall. "Impudent! You don't even know where you are. You actually dare to commit a crime here. You're really audacious. When I catch that murderer, I'll definitely tear him into pieces!”
The Emperor ordered people to carry the body outside the hall. When everyone arrived outside the hall, they were shocked. The dead man was actually dressed like An Ming. Everyone looked at the man and then at An Ming, and suddenly seemed to understand something. Tuoba Feng was even more frightened. She felt an unprecedented fear. She grabbed the corner of her clothes, and her palms were drenched in sweat.
"Looking at his seven orifices bleeding and his face turning black, he must have been poisoned to death.”The Emperor sized up the corpse and asked. The guard nodded. Xiao Ling frowned and moved forward a few steps. She gently squatted down and wiped the blood from the corpse's mouth with a handkerchief.
Everyone was stunned by her actions. The moonlight youth, the young general of Mingri, also looked at Xiao Ling. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. The youth tried his best to recall any memories related to Xiao Ling in his mind. As if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, he sized up Xiao Ling with interest.
"Replying to the emperor, this man was poisoned by someone. It's the Crane's Head Red, a highly toxic poison. Moreover, he was poisoned about four hours ago.”The Emperor narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Xiao Ling. He couldn't help but praise her in his heart. What an intelligent beauty, so exquisite.
Xiao Ling saw the emperor's gaze stop on her face and hurriedly knelt down to salute. "My daughter Xiao Ling greets the emperor. Long live my emperor.”The emperor's eyes were in a trance. He pursed his lips tightly and asked Xiao Ling to get up. "How old are you?" Xiao Ling calmly replied," Your Majesty, I am 14 this year.”
The Emperor nodded. It was indeed a little small, but to be able to be so calm at such a young age and have such exquisite medical skills, his future was truly limitless. It was just a pity that she was too young. Otherwise, if she was accepted into the harem, she would be much more comfortable with her company all day long.
"Your Majesty, why does this man's clothing look so similar to Lady An's?”Concubine Mei was shocked by her own guess." This…Qing 'er, did you just mistake this man for Miss An?"”Everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere at the scene was terrifyingly quiet. Tuoba Feng's entire body went limp. It turned out that this was really a trap. Everyone looked at Tuoba Feng, but he just stood there with a pale face and didn't say anything. If the Green Girl said that she might have really seen wrongly, it would be equivalent to sending Tuoba Feng to hell.
"Qing 'Er, did you see that person clearly just now? That person was An Ming?”Liu Yun nudged Qing 'Er. As expected, Qing' Er's words immediately changed." Maybe…Qing 'Er didn't see clearly and wrongly accused Miss An. That person, maybe it's this man."”Xiao Ling clearly knew that he had to help Tuoba Feng. Nothing must happen to Tuoba Feng, or else his life would be ruined.
"Concubine Mei, your words are wrong." Xiao Ling took over the conversation. The Emperor was even more interested in this peerless beauty in front of him, What do you think?" Xiao Ling gave a faint smile and handed the handkerchief to a eunuch. Then, he went over to support Tuoba Feng, who was already a little limp.
"Sister Tuoba is allergic to pollen. The female official who accompanied her also saw it. Fortunately, I soaked a handkerchief in medicine and gave it to Sister Tuoba. Sister used the handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose in the rose garden, so she didn't sneeze frequently and cause all kinds of discomfort to her body.”
When Xiao Ling spoke up to this point, An Ming frowned slightly. Han Xue Ling secretly praised Xiao Ling's intelligence in his heart. If he had such a madam to lend him a hand, he would definitely rise to the top. The young general merely rubbed his chin with his fingers and looked at Xiao Ling with admiration.
"So, it's impossible for her to stay in the rose garden for such a long time. Just now, everyone saw that the handkerchief was stained with the soil of the rose garden. Qing 'Er also said that the handkerchief fell, but Qing' Er only heard the laughter of the woman and did not hear the sound of sister Tuoba sneezing.”
Tuoba Feng's expression turned slightly better as he looked at Xiao Ling with a touched expression. Xiao Ling continued," If I'm not wrong, this matter was a trap from the beginning to the end. As for what kind of trap it is, I don't know either. However, I think that the handkerchief that Qing 'er saw must be on this man's body or in the rose garden."”
After that, the Emperor ordered his men to search the man's body and indeed found a handkerchief. He had also checked and found that this handkerchief was exactly the same as the one Xiao Ling had given Tuoba Feng. It was just that it had not been soaked in medicine. It was this handkerchief that proved Tuoba Feng's innocence.
It was obvious that this was a conspiracy. The Emperor's face was as black as coal. This matter did not seem to be so simple. It involved human lives. If things went wrong, it might even involve politics. He thought for a moment and dismissed the meeting. He asked everyone to go back and find an excuse to end this matter. In fact, he secretly sent people to investigate.
No one had expected the situation to turn out this way. Tuoba Feng was panicking. She leaned weakly on Xiao Ling's body, without any strength. Xiao Ling helped Tuoba Feng into the carriage. She knew that this matter would not end so easily.
When Xiao Ling boarded the carriage, she turned around to take a look. That young general had already disappeared, and Han Xue Ling was pursing her mean lips and smiling at her. Xiao Ling felt disgusted just by looking at this face, but everything had to be done in consideration of the big picture. Xiao Ling smiled at Han Xue Ling and did not say anything else as she helped Tuoba Feng onto the carriage.
Tuoba Feng was still trembling when they got into the carriage. His face was pale and his lips were purple. Xiao Ling poured a cup of hot tea for Tuoba Feng. Tuoba Feng took the cup and stared at the corner of the carriage. The carriage was shaking, and the hot tea in her hand rippled. The boiling hot tea fell on Tuoba Feng's fingers.
"Sister Tuoba." Xiao Ling's heart was in his throat, afraid that Tuoba Feng's hand would be scalded by the tea. Tuoba Feng was still expressionless as he shook his head at Xiao Ling and poured the tea into his stomach. He looked much better now. Xiao Ling took the teacup and saw that Tuoba Feng's face was gradually becoming more rosy. He felt more at ease.
"Ling-er, do you think I survived a great disaster?”Tuoba Feng let out a sigh. The danger just now hadn't passed, but she didn't look as nervous as before. "For a girl, reputation is the most important thing. But just now, I was almost wronged and lost my reputation.”
The corner of Xiao Ling's mouth curled up slightly. His fingers caressed the back of Tuoba Feng's cold hand." Sister Tuoba, you've survived a great disaster. You'll definitely be blessed in the future."”Tuoba Feng smiled coldly. That's right, he had survived a great disaster. There were so many people in the hall, and all of them wanted to kill him. There were witnesses, no witnesses, and everything else. However, that man was already dead. If it wasn't for Xiao Ling, he might have lost all his face and died in the Yellow Springs.
