While the two of them were talking, Liu Zhixue slowly opened her eyes.

She blinked her eyelashes and asked suspiciously, ”Daddy, what's going on with daughter?”

”Xue'er, it's good that you're awake.” Liu Zhitian hugged Liu Zhixue excitedly.

”Why are all of you looking at me?” Liu Zhixue simply did not know what had happened as she blankly looked at the crowd.

”Xue Er, someone poisoned you. Do you know who the murderer is?”

Hearing this, Liu Zhixue seemed to be reminded of something. Her expression changed from being completely unaware to one of realization as her gaze locked onto Nangong Lin. Then, she shifted to the right and looked towards Xiao Yanxi beside her.

Imperceptibly, she seemed to have represented everything with her actions.

”Miss Liu, do you really think the emperor will uphold justice for you?” Nangong Zhen continued to interrupt, wanting to give Liu Zhixue confidence.

”This Emperor will handle this matter impartially.” Nangong Xiao glanced at Nangong Lin and Yan Xiaoxi.

”Xue'er, just say it.” Nangong Lin understood the meaning behind Liu Zhixue's eyes. She was really seeking her own opinion.

Liu Zhixue nodded and pointed at Yan Xiaoxi, saying, ”Princess Lin poisoned me.”

Now, even if the parties personally identified him, no one would be able to quibble about it.

”Oh, was it this consort who poisoned him?” This consort will have to ask clearly. Miss Liu, did you see how this consort poisoned you? ” Yan Xiaoxi broke free from the restraints of her bodyguards and walked in front of everyone.

At this point, Yan Xiaoxi could roughly understand what was going on.

If it was only Nangong Zhen's identification, she would have completely understood. Because of the matter with Minister Lin, he had caused her trouble, and it was only natural that he would think of a way to implicate her in this.

And Liu Zhixue?

Other than that encounter at the Prince's Mansion, the two of them had not met at all.

As for why he wanted to do this, no one knew. It was all for Nangong Lin.

Yan Xiaoxi was originally only interested in delicious food and beauties, but the premise was that under the calm and peaceful conditions, if someone tried to force her, she wouldn't sit still and wait for death.

Once Yan Xiaoxi became serious, her expression would become very serious.

Faced with Yan Xiaoxi's questioning, Liu Zhixue paused for a moment, but then quickly recovered and said, ”Princess Lin knows medical skills. Big Brother Lin can verify this point.”

These words caused everyone to shift their gazes towards Nangong Lin. Everyone was looking forward to his reaction.

Originally, they had thought that Nangong Lin would somewhat cover up for Yan Xiaoxi. Unexpectedly, his reaction exceeded everyone's expectations and he admitted it without a word, ”That's right, this king can prove it.

His words were so casual, but they were like a sharp knife that stabbed straight into Yan Xiaoxi's heart.

Originally, Yan Xiaoxi had thought that Nangong Lin had cancelled his marriage with Liu Zhixue due to the poison in his body. Now, she finally understood that all of this was because of love.

Because he was afraid of hurting Liu Zhixue, he had kept him out of the door, deliberately keeping a distance from her.

Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on Yan Xiaoxi's face. This was the first time since she was born that she felt such a heart-wrenching sensation. It was as if something had blocked her heart, causing her to be unable to breathe.

”This consort knows how to poison, but this is the only proof that this consort isn't a murderer. If I really wanted to poison Miss Liu, I wouldn't have been foolish enough to give her a chance to accuse me.” Yan Xiaoxi continued to deal with him calmly.
