Chapter 429 You Lied!
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan raised her head and said calmly, "Concubine Du... I said, I was the one who broke this snuff bottle."
“…”
"But when did I ever say that I destroyed the tribute?"
“…”
Everyone around was stunned.
Isn't this nonsense?
Du Siyao immediately scolded, "Sinanyan, how dare you use your tongue? Queen, such a cunning and vicious servant cannot be forgiven so easily!"
A faint light flashed in Xu Miaoyin's eyes.
She looked at Si Nanyan calmly, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Lady Si, what you say now counts as evidence. You—must explain clearly."
"certainly."
Nan Yan straightened her back and said, "It is true that I broke this snuff bottle, but it was not a tribute that the Empress wanted to bring to Chunxi Palace."
"oh?"
"After receiving the tribute, Ran Xiaoyu returned to the palace because her clothes were soiled. And out of curiosity, I opened the box and took a look."
"Then what."
"Then, I discovered that the snuff bottle in this box is exactly the same as—" She paused, glanced at Du Siyao and the others, and then said, "It's exactly the same as a snuff bottle I got a few days ago."
Everyone's expression changed suddenly.
You know, this snuff bottle is a tribute!
It was bestowed by the emperor to the harem and distributed by the empress to the concubines.
And Si Nanyan, she actually got the same thing, could it be - could it be that the emperor gave it to her!
Wu Wan and the others stared at her with such vicious eyes that they seemed to want to see a hole through her body.
Only Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly when she heard these words.
However, she didn't say anything else, just said lightly: "You, continue."
Nan Yan took another deep breath and then said, "When I saw that this tribute was exactly the same as the snuff bottle I had received, I was curious, so I picked up the two snuff bottles to compare them. Unexpectedly, I accidentally broke one of them."
“…”
"Of course, it's the one that belongs to this slave."
“…”
"I was terrified and hurriedly put the tribute back, but in my haste, I put it in the wrong box. After Ran Xiaoyu changed her clothes, she was unaware and took the box containing the fragments to Concubine Du."
“…”
"Everything is my fault."
The people around her listened to her words, and their expressions became extremely strange.
If she really had the snuff bottle given to her by the emperor, then this case would be difficult to judge.
Once she bites something to death, it's that thing and no one can do anything about it.
Nan Yan had already said to Ran Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, it was my fault that I almost got you into trouble."
Ran Xiaoyu stared at her with eyes wide open, full of confusion.
However, seeing Nan Yan frowning slightly at her, although she had a thousand doubts, she did not dare to speak at this time.
Nan Yan finally said to Xu Miaoyin, "Your Majesty, now, just go to my room and bring me that snuff bottle that's exactly the same as this one, with a white cat painted on it."
“……!”
Xu Miaoyin raised her brows slightly.
Upon hearing this, Du Siyao, who had been frowning, suddenly sneered.
She pointed at Si Nanyan and said, "You're lying!"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at her: "Selectwoman Du—why do you say that?"
Du Siyao said, "You just said that the tribute had a white cat painted on it, but the one on my snuff bottle is clearly a butterfly!"
