The princes and concubines around Lin Yuxin looked at her with surprise and suspicion. What method did this princess use to make Chunxiang listen to her so obediently? Could it be... witchcraft?
Everyone looked at Lin Yuxin with a mixture of wariness and fear.
This is a fear of the unknown.
Even the Emperor looked at Lin Yuxin with a meaningful gaze; this girl's abilities were increasingly surprising to him!
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also began to look at Lin Yuxin with wariness.
This woman has such abilities; no wonder the Emperor suddenly bestowed upon her the title of Princess. If she could be used by them, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?
The two princes were torn between their thoughts and were somewhat tempted.
If all else fails, we can ask the Emperor to bestow a marriage upon them. If Pingning becomes their concubine, wouldn't she help them?
These two were really dreaming. These two idiots didn't know that Lin Yuxin had already betrothed to Li Xiaochen. If they had known, they wouldn't have dared to think like this; they would have valued their lives.
They didn't dare to confront Li Xiaochen, that devil, head-on, especially since it was all for a woman.
Li Xiaochen was very perceptive and noticed that someone was looking at Lin Yuxin. He glanced over without making a sound and saw the two princes looking at his Xinxin with calculating expressions. Their eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce glint flashed in their eyes.
These two must be incredibly bored, actually having designs on his woman. They're practically asking for trouble!
Lin Yuxin was unaware that her display of skill today had changed the people in the palace's perception of her, making them somewhat wary of her.
After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers in the air.
"Smack!"
Chunxiang was momentarily dazed. When she came to her senses, her expression changed. What had just happened to her? What had she said?
Lin Yuxin withdrew her hand, stood up, and said to the Emperor:
"Your Majesty, I have ascertained everything Chunxiang knows. Next, I will question Consort Qi!"
"Alright! I'll leave this to you."
The Emperor nodded. He had heard Chunxiang's words clearly, and his face was ashen. He wished he could drag Consort Qi out and kill her, but he couldn't, as the person behind this hadn't been found yet. So he handed the matter over to Lin Yuxin for interrogation.
Lin Yuxin: ...Why do I feel like I've created trouble for myself again?
Lin Yuxin resignedly turned her head and looked at Consort Qi, who was trembling with fear.
Consort Qi was already kneeling on the ground, her mouth open as if to beg for mercy, but she didn't know how to start.
From the moment she entered and heard the Emperor say "tear him to pieces," she felt extremely uneasy, sensing that something bad was about to happen. Everything spiraled out of control when she learned that Li Xiaochen had investigated the Imperial Hospital and arrested the eunuch.
That person said that the poison would cause people to fall into a coma and then die without anyone knowing. Ordinary people would not be able to detect it, and even if they did, they would not know the source of the poison.
As Lin Yuxin said, this poison is a forbidden drug in the State of Qi, and ordinary people cannot obtain it. Ordinary people would never know about it, let alone people from other countries.
So not knowing the source of the poison was her advantage, and she was confident that Chunxiang would stop everything. Just now, things went as she expected. As long as Chunxiang was killed, no one would know that she was the one who ordered it.
Even if she's banished to the cold palace, she's still alive, and she can make plans later.
But what she didn't expect was that the biggest variable in this plan was this newly appointed princess.
Not only did she save the Queen, but she also possessed some kind of sorcery, which allowed Chunhyang to tell the whole story.
It caught her completely off guard, and she, who was already trying to appear calm, became even more panicked and fearful.
Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Lin Yuxin. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, her plan would have succeeded. With the Empress dead, she might have been promoted, and that person would have helped her fulfill the promise.
It's all her fault!!!
Lin Yuxin watched as Qi Pin's gaze towards her gradually turned ferocious, and the hatred in her eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Lin Yuxin was speechless. What had she done to deserve this? She had just attracted another wave of hatred.
However, she didn't care. This woman wouldn't live much longer anyway. She looked at Consort Qi kneeling on the ground and said calmly:
"Consort Qi, oh! I'm wrong. The Emperor has already banished you to the Cold Palace and stripped you of your title. Now you're just an unknown woman. Let me be frank first. If you confess the truth, things will be easier. If you're unwilling, I'll have to try the same method again!"
"You witch! You used sorcery just now! You can't believe me! You used sorcery to bewitch Chunhyang and make her say what you wanted to hear. Everything she said was a lie! A lie!"
Consort Qi was enraged by Lin Yuxin's words and began to question her, showing none of the composure one would expect from a palace concubine.
Lin Yuxin remained expressionless, but Li Xiaochen's gaze turned icy.
A witch? How dare he call his woman a witch? That woman deserves to die!
"This princess doesn't know any sorcery. This is just ordinary hypnosis, which is usually used for people with insomnia or mental illnesses. This is my exclusive secret recipe."
Lin Yuxin shook her head slightly, denying it.
"Nonsense! Chunxiang was bewitched by you just now. Otherwise, how could she have answered every question you asked? You're a witch!"
Consort Qi didn't believe it was some kind of hypnosis!
"Believe it or not, this princess doesn't have time to argue with you here. Confess now, the sooner you tell me, the sooner I'll deal with you. This princess wants to go back to sleep."
Lin Yuxin was getting impatient. This dawdling attitude made her want to slap her twice! Why was she constantly bringing up the hypnosis thing? Was she just bored?
