C70 (2/2)

”Oh?” The emperor was not angered by Hou Qingyu's words. He only looked at him meaningfully.

”Father, let's listen to the second lady on the left.” Hou Qingyu looked at the emperor with a smile. The emperor looked into Hou Qingyu's eyes, wanting to see something from within.

Hou Qingyu did not dodge. Instead, he just stood there openly. The emperor withdrew his gaze from Shui Qienan and asked, ”You said that you want to let Zuo Yi Yun and Shui Qianyu confront each other?”

”Yes.” Shui Qiannan said.

”What about Zuo Yi Yun? Why haven't I seen her come up? ” the Emperor asked.

”Before we put Second Miss Zuo and my younger sister in a confrontation, I have a few questions I'd like to ask the crown prince and his younger sister. I wonder if the emperor would agree to that?” Shui Qiannan lightly said.

”Ask away.” The Emperor said.

”Please speak, Miss Shui.” Even though Hou Ziming was speaking coldly to Shui Qiannan outside the hall, he still had to put up a front for the emperor's sake.

”I would like to ask the Crown Prince, when you were underwater that day, did you really hear those assassins say that they took my money and that was why you were hiding at the bottom of the lake?” Shui Qiannan looked at Hou Ziming and smiled faintly.

When Hou Ziming saw Shui Qiannan like this, he felt a little doubtful and a little uneasy. However, he still said, ”Of course.”

”Hearing it with your own mouth is definitely not a hallucination?” Shui Qiannan asked again.

”I've said it many times, how could I possibly be hearing things?” Hou Ziming promised solemnly.

Shui Qiannan nodded, then looked at Shui Qianyu and asked, ”You said that I pushed Second Miss Zuo down that day because I wanted to vent my anger on her?”

”Elder sister, do you want to deny it again? This is the truth. Elder sister, can you stop quibbling?” Shui Qianyu asked softly. She looked at Shui Qiannan and shook her head, as if he was still so stubborn.

”Can you explain it to me? That day, I found out where I was going to swim? And I don't know where I am going to swim. How did I arrange the assassins?” ”Could it be that you want to say that I made this arrangement a long time ago, and that I have come up with a clever plan to figure out which place you, Shui Qianyu, will invite me to?” Shui Qianyu asked with a sharp tone, the spirit energy in her eyes intimidated Shui Qianyu.

”Father, this son really wants to know as well. Furthermore, how did royal brother escape that day? Why didn't those black-clothed people catch any of them? ” Hou Qingyu suddenly said.

”Imperial Father knows that this son really did his best to escape. When those black-clothed people saw me board the ship and have their employers, they naturally did not dare to board the ship again.” Hou Ziming said.

Hou Qingyu shook his head and laughed. The emperor was also silent. Shui Qiannan looked at Shui Qianyu and asked, ”I'm asking you a question.”

Shui Qianyu stepped back slightly and looked weakly at Shui Qiannan, ”How would I know why sister asked me this? But sister has always been pretty powerful, I don't know if I would be able to do it.”

Shui Qiannan looked at Shui Qianyu with a cold smile, ”I'll ask you one last time, you can admit now that you still have enough time. Did you push Second Miss Zuo down?”

Shui Qianyu was frightened by Shui Qiannan's gaze, but still, she stubbornly replied, ”No.”
