In short, the atmosphere became serious again.

"So... those who left the camp at the very beginning of the incident, and who have no witnesses to corroborate this, are the prime suspects..."

"puff--"

As soon as Nan Lingqin finished speaking, Nan Fenghuang, who was eating an apple, suddenly changed her expression and stared at Nan Lingqin with wide eyes, "It wasn't me."

"you?"

Nan Lingqin looked at her.

"I did go out before that, but I just went for a walk."

Nan Fenghuang waved his hand.

Nan Lingqin became extremely serious, "But you have an absolute motive for doing these things."

"What?"

If Nan Lingqin was just joking earlier, her expression was now extremely serious. "Nan Fenghuang, you are a princess of Southern Qi."

Nan Lingqin's tone was more serious than ever before.

Nan Fenghuang, who was usually so unserious, suddenly became serious. She instantly dropped the apple from her hand, met Nan Lingqin's gaze, and said with a serious expression, "You actually doubt me? I am the princess of Nan Qi. Why would I harm my own people?"

"Because of Yu Qingyi, you love him, so it's highly likely you'll betray us."

Nan Lingqin's words seemed to already condemn Nan Fenghuang.

Nan Fenghuang's expression changed. She looked at Nan Lingqin, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "Nan Lingqin, are you doing this on purpose? You know perfectly well that Yu Qingyi and I... I will not betray Nan Qi, just as he would never betray Bei Rong."

“There are always exceptions.” Nan Lingqin’s expression was resolute and unmoved.

The soldiers around them hadn't expected this to happen, and they stood there frozen, not daring to breathe.

Xu Yiran stood beside Nan Lingqin, her brows furrowed, and remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became so oppressive that it was uncomfortable to watch.

"It wasn't me, I'll say it again."

Nan Fenghuang's face turned pale; she was clearly angry.

"Someone come here."

Nan Lingqin had already given the order, and immediately, Ming Lan and the others appeared beside him.

"Take Princess Phoenix away and send her back to the capital of Southern Qi for interrogation by Father Emperor."

"yes."

"Wait a moment."

Behind Nan Lingqin, Qingxia suddenly felt a surge of courage and stopped her, then looked at Nan Lingqin and said, "Princess, this servant believes that Princess Phoenix would never do such a thing. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Qingxia was pleading for Nan Fenghuang.

Nan Lingqin's cool gaze suddenly fell on her. "Qingxia, you've always been cautious and quiet."

“This servant was sent by Princess Phoenix to serve you, the eldest princess. This servant is naturally grateful to Princess Phoenix and does not want to cause any discord between you and Princess Phoenix.”

"Is that so? Then where did you go just now? Just now, Tinghai arrived at the Iron General Camp using his lightness skill. When we came back, you were not there. You only arrived after I had gathered all the soldiers in the formation."

Hearing Nan Lingqin's suddenly cold tone, Qingxia's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she immediately wanted to step back.

But Tinghai's sword was already pressed directly against her neck.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Nan Lingqin's tone was still gentle.
