Liu Shi’s face darkened and she asked coldly, “How could my daughter poison the Lord Protector? You’d better not make any unfounded accusations!”
With a stern look, the general said, “I am not accusing your daughter without evidence. In fact, the dog has indicated that your daughter is suspicious. You should know that the dog has previously smelled the scent of the poison. Now that the dog had found the scent of the poison on your daughter and her maid, isn’t that enough evidence? Besides, if my memory serves me well, isn’t your daughter a disciple of the Ling Yun Sect? She has superb medical knowledge, right? I’m sure she’s also well versed in the making of different poisons.”
“If you don’t give me a good explanation, then I will definitely kill this bit*h.”
Jiang Xuancheng stretched out his long arm and pointed to Yun Qianxue.
Liu Shi was extremely angry.
In the hall it became extremely quiet.
The Chiang family and the Yun family had also been hostile towards each other.
The Chiang family was on the side of the crown prince and empress, while the Yun family was on the side of the Huai Prince and Xuan Prince.
That was also why the Chiang family wouldn’t mind taking a jab at the Yun family right now.
Yun Qianxue, after laying there for a while, slowly felt better. She struggled to get up and looked around the crowd. She didn’t understand why she would be in such a situation. ‘How could there be the scent of the poison on my body? And how could I not smell it at all?’
Thinking about this, Yun Qianxue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince. She then said in a soft voice, “Your Highness, I didn’t do anything.”
Xiao Tianyi frowned and also didn’t believe that Yun Qianxue would poison the Lord Protector.
Not because he completely believed Yun Qianxue, but because he knew that she wouldn’t have the guts to do this.
The Chiang family may know this fact too, but they still wanted to take out Yun Qianxue, even if just to mess with the Yun family.
After thinking about it, Xiao Tianyi said, “General, obviously there is something strange about this. Qianxue has always been gentle and timid. She’s definitely not the kind of person who would poison the Lord Protector. I think we’d better investigate the matter well.”
“Easy for your Highness to say this when it is my father that’s lying sick in bed! Xuan Prince’s request is just to protect the assassin, right?”
Jiang Xuancheng didn’t give face to Xiao Tianyi at all which angered Xiao Tianyi.
Feeling extremely pissed about what Chiang Xuancheng said, Xiao Tianyi glared at him and said, “Does General Chiang mean that he would kill a daughter of the Yun family based on a dog? If General Chiang said that she was plotting against your father, then present some solid evidence. I do not agree with this method of determination. If the general thinks it’s a matter of certainty, then we can go to the palace to argue about this!”
Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince had always been polite and reserved. He seldom burst out like this but today had been too much for him.
Jiang Xuancheng’s face darkened and he was about to speak.
Yun Qianxue, who had been leaning against Liu Shi’s arms, had calmed down in the meantime. After thinking about it, she felt that someone must have done this to her, someone that felt great hatred toward her: Yun Qianyu.
Yun Qianxue also recalled seeing someone new beside Yun Qianyu.
‘Maybe that’s the woman who poisoned the Lord Protector Chiang! Yun Qianyu is not only hiding this person, she has even managed to put the blame on me!’
