In the court, Lin Yifeng sat on a high seat, looking coldly at Wen Luoxin, who was sitting in the court with a calm demeanor.
"Wen Luoxin, regarding the murder of the Crown Princess, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you plead guilty?"
Wen Luoxin was shocked: "Did the Shaoqing make a mistake?"
Xiao Yunchen clearly promised her that he would help her clear the charges, and he clearly said a few days ago that he had already arranged this matter.
Now, the result of the Dali Temple is that the evidence is conclusive?
She suppressed her panic and looked up into Lin Yifeng's eyes: "Sir, the Crown Princess's death has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have no reason to poison her at all. Someone must have deliberately framed her!"
Lin Yifeng stood up, slowly walked down, and said in a threatening tone, "Miss Wen, don't try to quibble. Have you ever had any grudges with the Crown Prince's Consort? I heard that you had an argument at the horse farm. That day, you invited the Crown Prince's Consort to Tianxiang Tower, dismissed the servants, and left it alone with you. The Crown Prince's Consort was poisoned on the spot!"
"It was the Crown Prince's Consort who invited me!" Wen Luoxin calmed herself down and continued, "If you don't believe me, you can summon the servants of the Wen Mansion. They can prove it."
Wen Luoxin was relieved that she had persuaded Wen Luoqing to testify for her.
Lin Yifeng took out a stack of papers from the table and said, "We at the Dali Temple only accept evidence when handling cases. Here are the confessions of the relevant personnel. Take a look for yourself."
Wen Luoxin was in a panic: "This is impossible! Where did you get all this evidence? None of this is true!"
Lin Yifeng remembered Xiao Yunchen's instructions and did not reveal the source of the evidence. He looked down at Wen Luoxin who was kneeling on the ground with a sharp gaze.
"Are you doubting the fairness of our Dali Temple?" He said in a colder tone. "Miss Wen, born in the Taifu Mansion, should know the majesty of the law. And what a place the Dali Temple is. If you confess now, I will help you get a lighter sentence."
Wen Luoxin clenched her fists, her fingers trembling slightly as she pinched them into her palms. She said with a firm and resolute attitude, "Sir, Luoxin is innocent. I will never admit to this false accusation! I beg you to thoroughly investigate the truth and clear Luoxin's name."
Lin Yifeng shook his head in disappointment: "In that case, I can only ask Miss Wen to stay and cooperate with the investigation."
"I am willing to cooperate with the investigation." Wen Luoxin still remembered Xiao Yunchen's previous promise, and didn't understand what went wrong.
In her previous life, Xiao Yunchen treated her with obedience. In this life, is it because he is still young and has not yet achieved the same status as in his previous life, so he is not able to do things as decisively and efficiently?
Wen Luoxin showed an aggrieved expression on her face and pleaded, "Sir, could you please ask Xiao Yunchen to come over for me? I only want to talk to Sir Xiao."
Hearing this, Lin Yifeng stared at Wen Luoxin with a scrutinizing gaze and replied, "Okay, I'll convey it to Master Xiao."
He ordered his servants in a deep voice: "Come here, take Miss Wen away."
"yes!"

Li Nian opened his eyes and saw the wooden beams scattered all over the house.
Before I could react to where I was, I heard Li Sisi's surprised voice: "Nian Nian, you're awake!"
She shouted happily: "Doctor Pei, come and take a look, my sister is awake."
Li Nian frowned and turned her head to look in Li Sisi's direction: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Sisi took two steps back from the bed, making room for her. She looked guilty, "It's all my fault. I rushed for days and didn't let you rest. I even dragged you out for a walk."
Li Nian had just woken up and was still a little confused.
Then I saw a man in a dark blue robe slowly approaching, with a black silk belt tied around his waist and a bronze dagger hanging from the belt.
His handsome face had a cold and distant expression. He walked to the bedside, stopped, sat on a small stool, put his fingers on her slender wrist and began to feel her pulse.
Li Nian could still vaguely smell the light herbal fragrance on him.
The room was silent for a moment.
After a while, Pei Yu'an's fingers were still on her pulse, and his calm and clear eyes stared at her face for a long time.
Li Sisi was a little anxious. Seeing Pei Yu'an withdraw his hand and prepare to stand up, she hurriedly asked, "Doctor Pei, how is my sister?"
"No problem. You're tired from the journey. You'll be fine after a few days of rest." He spoke in a low voice, with a slight northwestern accent and slow intonation, as if he were chatting with someone around the fire in winter. "I'll write a prescription. You can get the medicine according to the prescription. Take it twice a day. I'll come back to see you after you finish one dose."
Li Sisi was relieved when she heard his words: "Okay, thank you, Doctor Pei. I'm lucky to have met you today. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do on the street alone."
"Miss Sisi, you don't have to be polite. It's just my job." After saying that, Pei Yu'an picked up the medicine box on the table with one hand and walked out of the room.
"Sisi," Li Nian recalled the last scene in her mind. The bright setting sun covered the dark streets. She frowned and asked, "Did I faint on the street?"
"Yeah, you scared me to death," Li Sisi said with a lingering fear on her face. "You suddenly fell to the ground. Luckily, Doctor Pei happened to pass by, so I carried you from the street to his house."
She suddenly remembered something and quickly told Li Nian about her decision.
"Oh, right, I asked around, and I found out that buying a house here requires identity documents, so we can only rent a house for now. Luckily, Doctor Pei's mansion has a side yard for rent, so I rented it. That way, if I encounter any problems in the future, the doctor will be right next to me, which is very convenient."
Li Nian didn't expect that Sisi had accomplished so many things while she was unconscious.
"What's the situation at Doctor Pei's home?"
As soon as Li Nian asked the question, an old woman's voice came from outside.
