Yu Nanxun's pupils shrank and his face was full of shock: "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? How could I kill Miss Qi?"
He kowtowed several times quickly and buried his head deeply: "Your Majesty, I will never harm Miss Qi. I don't even have time to respect her, so how could I..."
"How do you say this?" His Majesty lowered his eyes.
Yu Nanxun raised his eyes and his lips trembled. "There is something I have always been afraid to say. But now, there is nothing hard to say. I have been fond of Miss Qi for many years."
"The reason why I went to jail for exercising my private rights yesterday was because... I was too worried about Miss Qi and wanted to confirm with my own eyes that she was okay."
The Holy One asked casually: "You saw her, brought her a glass of poisonous wine, and are you in a hurry to silence her?"
Yu Nanxun was stunned, with pure confusion in his eyes. "What kind of wine? I went there empty-handed. As soon as I unlocked the door,..."
The confusion in his eyes was so real, and there was a helpless tiredness between his brows.
"As soon as I saw the outline of Miss Qi's face, a lot of dust entered my nose. Then I fell unconscious until I woke up in the morning and hurried to the palace."
"Facial profile? Not sure if what you see is Qi Yun herself?" The Holy Master raised his eyes, his gaze was like a sword.
Yu Nanxun said hoarsely: "Actually, looking back now, I feel that the person who was in prison at that time was not Miss Qi, but someone who had a similar outline to her and similar movements. It's just...I couldn't think of anyone at the moment."
The Holy Master waved his sleeves: "The only person who meets this condition is Ling Yutong, the adopted daughter of the Qi family. Do you think she is the one?"
The corners of Sheng Shang's lips twitched slightly: "But that's not what Ling Yutong said. Her argument was that because she looked exactly like Qi Yun, she was mistakenly arrested by the officers and soldiers and sent to prison. There, she met you who came to silence her."
"She also provided clothes stained with poisoned wine."
Yu Nanxun opened his eyes wide: "Impossible! I am very happy with Miss Qi, so I will not harm her! And I have no relationship with Ling Yutong, and there is no reason to harm her."
The Holy Master played with the fingers on his hand: "If you admit the wrong person, you will love him and hate him..."
Yu Nanxun was anxious: "No! I didn't even have time to talk to Miss Qi, and I inhaled the dust and fell into coma."
"Then what's the explanation for the pinch marks on Ling Yutong's neck? Could you tell me that there is another person among them?"
"I... don't know." Yu Nanxun said blankly.
The Holy Master asked: "Then what's the matter with the pinch marks on your neck?"
"I don't know."
"Hey, does that dust have a scent?"
"No." Yu Nanxun answered quickly and with certainty.
This time, the smile on the Holy Master's lips dropped directly.
"According to what you said, when you went to visit Qi Yun, you met Ling Yutong. In addition, there was a third person in the prison. That person pinched you and her, and poured poisoned wine on Ling Yutong's clothes.
Go ahead and knock you out. After that, Ling Yutong rescued himself and escaped from the prison. You were discovered by the guards and sent back to the house."
"Who could this extra person be? Or maybe one of you and Ling Yutong is full of nonsense, and his words are half true and false."
The Holy Emperor stared at him, his eyes like a wolf and a tiger fighting, fierce and bloody. Yu Nanxun resisted the psychological pressure and pretended to lower his head naturally.
"I promise that every sentence is true, and I am willing to make a strong oath!"
The Holy Sage raised his lips and smiled: "Okay, let's make an oath."
Yu Nanxun's eyes were confused. He only said this to show his sincerity, but he didn't expect that the Holy One would actually ask him to swear an oath!
"What? Aren't you willing to swear a heavy oath to prove it?" The Holy Sage's smile became dangerous.
Yu Nanxun gritted his teeth and swore an oath.
With such a status, he never believed in the cause and effect of gods and Buddhas. He only believed in himself. So what if he made an oath? If he could win the trust of the Holy One and get rid of the thorn in his side, that would be great!
"Okay, go out. I will call you again if something happens." The Holy Master waved his hand and said casually.
Yu Nanxun paused: "May I ask, where is Ling Yutong now? I can also confront her face to face."
The Holy Emperor looked at him with a strange look and said with a smile: "No need, she is temporarily staying in my palace. As long as what you say is true, her words will not hinder you."
"As for the investigation of the Qi family's rebellion, the Prime Minister's Office will not have to get involved in it from now on."
"yes."
Yu Nanxun bowed deeply and did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief until the palace attendants ushered him out of the palace.
Acting in front of the Holy One is too frightening.
He thought he had escaped, but he was full of mistakes and his attitude was too much.
After he left, the Holy Master walked to the side hall and looked at Ling Yutong with brilliant eyes.
"You are right. You expected all his reactions."
Ling Yutong pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head: "Yes, the Lord can trust the people's daughter this time? Can the people's daughter return to Qi Mansion..."
The Holy Emperor chuckled: "Don't be anxious, just stay in the palace. I told you to wait for the results, so just wait in peace. The two ladies of the Qi family, don't worry, they will be fine until the Qi family's affairs are investigated."
After saying that, the Holy Master turned and left. The moment the door closed, Ling Yutong's shoulders slumped slightly, and he did not notice the cold and hateful eyes outside the window.
She did use her knowledge of Yu Nanxun in her previous life to guess how he might react, but it was only after she truly received the Lord's approval that she completely relaxed her mind.
This is not the last life. Yu Nanxun is not yet a scheming and unpredictable man who worships the prime minister as a concubine. He is just a concubine of the Prime Minister's office who has no real power and keeps a low profile.
She doesn't need to be so afraid, but the plan must be thorough and rigorous.
When she was talking to the Holy One yesterday, she specifically pointed out that "psychedelic" has no scent, but people who have been hit by it will feel that it has a scent within ten hours of waking up.
The little bit of medicinal powder she hid under her fingernails was checked by the imperial doctor. Yu Nanxun blurted out that "psychedelic" had no fragrance, and it hadn't been ten hours since he woke up. This shows that he understood the habits of this medicinal powder, and he entered
Prison can't be what he said.
In front of the Holy Master, anything amiss would arouse infinite suspicion.
While she was immersed in her thoughts, her door suddenly opened, and a palace maid with hanging eyes walked in.
Stacks of food were thrown on the table, making a clanging sound and spilling all over the table.
The palace maid taunted loudly: "Are you the Qi family? The adopted daughter of the rebellious family?"
Ling Yutong's eyebrows sharpened: "The Qi family has not rebelled. If the evidence is investigated thoroughly, we will definitely regain our innocence!"
"Tch, no matter what, you Qi family owe me your life! Now that you are under house arrest in the palace, I have to entertain you well!"
The palace lady flicked her sleeves, and the rope slipped into her palm. "Remember, my name is Lu He."
Ling Yutong was very weak during the detoxification period, and the green lotus rope entangled her with a flick of her tongue, fixing her to the beam in the palace.
The other cuff was a soft bone whip, and Lu Heliu raised his eyebrows: "Look how I beat you today!"
Ling Yutong was whipped hard, and his mouth was bloody: "How dare you cross the Holy One and lynch me!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't have time to care about you."
Lu He's whip was about to come out again. Ling Yutong took a deep breath and asked: "You have to be clear about death. What do you mean by human life?"
