Yan Xiaoxi indignantly stared at Nangong Lin. At the same time, Nangong Lin also looked in her direction. Their gazes met, and a small spark instantly appeared.

Suddenly, Yan Xiaoxi shifted her gaze and looked in Liu Zhixue's direction.

At this moment, Liu Zhixue was calmly standing on the spot, graceful and dignified. Her every action and gesture was filled with the temperament of a lady from a noble family. There was nothing strange about her at all.

However, Yan Xiaoxi felt that something was wrong.

It was at this moment that she unintentionally noticed the palace maid standing behind Liu Zhixue. She was dressed in extremely ordinary palace attire and had the appearance of a young family of jade.

However, the weirdest thing was that her eyes seemed submissive, as if she was evading them, causing people to feel guilty.

Upon closer inspection, Yan Xiaoxi felt that this palace maid seemed to be acquainted with him, as though she had met him somewhere before.

After searching through the memories in her head, she finally remembered that this palace maid was the same person as the one who had the herbal medicine in her hands.

As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi suddenly widened her eyes. All the mysteries seemed to have been solved, and everything suddenly became clear.

”Does royal brother still have any laws in his eyes?” Since he was in the right, he naturally had to show a fair and strict appearance in front of everyone.

”Xi Er definitely isn't the culprit.” What Nangong Lin said was a solemn oath.

When Yan Xiaoxi saw the serious expression on Nangong Lin's face, she once thought that he had always believed in her.

However, she quickly pushed away this conclusion of hers.

She had seen his suspicions with her own eyes.

Hmph, don't believe him.

”Arguably, everyone saw the truth.” Liu Zhitian did not expect Nangong Lin to protect Yan Xiaoxi again and again. In the past, he had always admired Nangong Lin.

After today's incident, his impression of him couldn't help but change.

Ever since Nangong Lin went into seclusion a year ago, his entire person had changed.

”Big Brother Lin, did you lose your mind due to the poison that was applied to you by Yan Xiaoxi? Did you see that?” Even if she beat Liu Zhixue to death, she didn't believe that her big brother Lin would stand by Yan Xiaoxi's side.

After so many years of friendship, could it be that their relationship could not compare to that of the princess, who had just recently passed her duties?

”This King is very clear-headed.” Indeed, there was no one who was more clear-headed than him.

That was why he was able to see through the mystery behind it.

”Enough. Put Princess Lin into prison for the time being and await her orders.” With Nangong Xiao's command, the guards immediately took action.

Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Liu Zhixue's face. So what if she knew how to argue? So what if you know poison medicine? So what if you know about the poison? This was not the end of things.

Liu Zhixue felt a surge of excitement in her heart. Seeing that Yan Xiaoxi was about to be dragged away by the guards, she felt even happier than when she first met Wu Qingcheng.

”Wait.” Yan Xiaoxi stood motionlessly on the spot, not cooperating with the guards' actions at all.

”Is there anything else that Princess Lin wants to say?” Nangong Xiao signaled the guard with her eyes and the guard immediately released Yan Xiaoxi.

”Your Majesty, is this how the Southern Water Country wrongly accused people? Yan Xiaoxi asked.

Unjustly accused?
