C18 (2/2)

”Royal brother, to use a piece of gold that you can get as long as you want to to, isn't it a little too reckless to judge this official's crime?” Baili Moxun's calm reply made Baili Yao angry.

”How did your gold come to her?”

Bai Zhiling looked at Baili Moxun, at a loss as to whether to help or not.

After all, he had just saved her life, even though she was implicated …

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhiling still stood up.

Although she believed that even if she didn't say anything, Baili Moxun would still be able to handle the situation perfectly, but she really didn't like to owe someone a favor.

”Royal Father, I have something to say.”

Even Baili Moxun was surprised by Bai Zhiling's sudden appearance.

Baili Xing looked at Bai Zhiling and frowned, not knowing what she wanted to do.

”Go ahead.” When she saved the empress dowager, Baili Yao's attitude towards her eased a bit.

”I wonder if I can examine palace maid.”

”What do you want to check?”

”Check if she's the one who really poisoned her.”

This request was not too much, Baili Yao had no reason to reject it.

”Go check.”

Bai Zhiling walked up to palace maid. Due to the torture, palace maid's body was badly mutilated.

Bai Zhiling crouched down and looked at her fingers.

palace maid didn't know if it was due to guilt or not, but when she looked at Bai Zhiling, she subconsciously wanted to retreat.

”How did you poison the empress dowager?”

”Put it in the Empress Dowager's bird nest soup.”

”Tell me the specifics.” Bai Zhiling's clear eyes looked at her, causing the burden within palace maid's heart to increase. She became even more afraid.

”Yes, the poison was released and placed in the handkerchief. It was placed in the handkerchief. The handkerchief, it has already been burnt …”

”When was the poison given to you?” Where did you put it? Other than the poison, did the other party give you anything else? ”

palace maid didn't know what Bai Zhiling wanted to do, so she could only answer without thinking. ”Yes, it was yesterday. Your servant, your servant, was afraid of being discovered, so … I've always had it with me. Besides the poison, there's nothing else …”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhiling stood up.

”Royal Father, she's lying.”

”No, no! Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare to swindle Your Majesty …”

”Do you not dare? If even Prince Jing Ling dares to slander you, then this concubine really can't see that there's anything else you don't dare to do!” ”She grabbed her hand and lifted it up.” ”You said that you got the poison yesterday and poisoned the empress dowager, but why aren't you poisoned?”

”This poison can be poisoned just by smelling it. You've been carrying it all day, it's impossible not to have been poisoned. The imperial physicians should be well aware of this, but why aren't you poisoned?” If you were to say that you had consumed the antidote beforehand, you wouldn't have been able to do so either. Just now, you also said that other than poison, the other party didn't give you anything else.

”This, this... ”I …” palace maid panicked. Millions of lies were needed to justify a lie. Under such circumstances, how could the words spoken not be full of holes?

”Royal Father, please investigate.” Bai Zhiling's voice was sonorous and forceful.

Baili Moxun's gaze fell on Bai Zhiling the moment she stepped forward, a faint smile pouring out from the depths of her eyes.
