C578 Serves you right (1/2)
At this moment, Lian Xiyue had already changed clothes and returned to the great hall with Ji mama.
When Xiao Zhenhai heard Feng Zhenyao's accusation, he did not panic, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes. This stupid princess, if she was anxious, she could bite people.
It wasn't that Princess Eleven was the real princess, but that he had gone to inform the emperor —
Since he knew the identity of the Eleventh Princess, he knew that the Emperor would eliminate her, and even if he didn't, he would find an excuse to cancel the engagement between Xiao He and the Eleventh Princess. This was because the Emperor would naturally not refuse to betroth a fake princess to his great Xiao estate.
In other words, he had exposed the false identity of the Eleventh Princess, which could be considered as a contribution to the Imperial Family.
Thus, if Princess Thirteen targeted him, it would only be digging her own grave.
The two of them had originally planned to collude with each other, but now they were going to bite each other. Lian Ruyue stood by the side, quietly watching the show.
”Your majesty, even if you have told me some lies, she did it to protect herself. Would your majesty not believe the words of a servant who sold his master, and not believe his own daughter who grew up with him? ”There is no proof at all, how can he be so sure that Deng Yao`er is the murderer of arson?” Lian Zhaoyi felt uneasy at Xiao Zhenhai's calmness as she defended Feng Yunyao.
Xiao Zhenhai took two steps forward and kneeled on the ground, ”Your majesty, this humble subject is innocent!
Princess Thirteen had indeed secretly come to this humble subject, saying that she adored Xiao He and wanted to help her get rid of Princess Eleven. This humble subject did not dare to do such a thing, so she had rejected Princess Thirteen's suggestion and advised her not to act rashly.
”I didn't want to believe that Princess Thirteen had set the fire on me, but I couldn't bear to see my eldest son die in vain, so I secretly looked for Yi Xiu Palace to investigate. Someone saw Princess Thirteen mix the fire oil into the dishes …”
”No, you're lying!” Feng Tang Yao immediately denied it. ”I didn't mix the oil into the food. I didn't make the oil.”
Xiao Zhenhai only waited for Feng Yao to finish before he pursed his lips and said, ”Princess, you said you didn't touch the fire oil? But Princess, why is there a mark left on the side of your skirt by a piece of oil? ”
After Xiao Zhenhai finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned towards Feng Zhenyao's dress because the mark left on her body by the oil fire was not obvious. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Feng Wu Yao lowered her head, her face filled with panic, as she gripped the piece with her hand.
She had always had amazing observation skills, so not even a single drop of it could escape her eyes. Just now, she had already discovered that there was a mark of fire oil on the side of Feng Tang Yao's skirt, but she had purposely not reminded him of it.
Just now, she had purposely let the blood of the Concubine Zhi stain her body before she went to great lengths to change her clothes, causing Xiao Zhenhai to think about Feng Tang's clothes.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhenhai had been thinking about how to get rid of this stupid princess in one fell swoop and give his wife an explanation. When he went to change clothes, he also thought that it might be possible for the oil from the fire to be on his clothes.
He looked around and indeed, he found some clues.
”You, you, Duke of Xiao, you are actually like this. Father, this oil of fire, this oil of fire, this oil of fire, this …” Feng Yunyao did not expect that Xiao Zhenhai would so easily see through their relationship and was so angry that her fingertips trembled. However, the evidence in front of her was conclusive, and she was unable to refute what she had just said.
