The person on the platform picked up the small black clip, examined it carefully, and actually took out a few silver needles from it.
He turned to Sikong Yun and said, "Mr. Sikong, why do you bring these with you when you have nothing to do?"
Sikong Yun's face darkened, he laughed twice, and said awkwardly: "Although I am a martial arts expert, two fists cannot defeat four hands. If the opponent has more people and no weapons, how can I win?"
"So that's how it is." The man raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Xu Miaomiao in the audience.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately walked to Li Yi's side, took off the silver needle from his neck, knelt in front of him, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, please look carefully. These two needles are exactly the same. They are both sprinkled with cartilage powder. Sikong Xianggong did this to help his son Sikong Che win the championship."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly didn't use it today." Sikong Yun was a little angry at what Xu Miaomiao said. He immediately shook it off and said angrily.
As soon as the words fell, silence fell all around.
Xu Miaomiao slowly said: "Why didn't you use it today? So did you use it last time?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sikong Yun pointed at Xu Miaomiao in dissatisfaction, waved his hand to the servant beside him, and said, "Someone, come here, drag this bitch away!"
"Let's see who dares!" The servant next to him was about to take action, but the prince on the high platform immediately shouted at him, and picked up the silver needle in his hand, compared it, and then turned his eyes to Sikong Yun, saying: "Mr. Sikong, what else do you have to quibble about? Now that you have been caught red-handed, you are also a fierce general of our dynasty, how can you act like this?"
"Your Highness, you are embarrassing me by saying this." Sikong Yun's body was a little stiff. He turned his head to the side and said slowly, "It was not something I did. Even if you frame me, I will never admit it."
"From what Mr. Sikong said, you want to deny it till death!"
"Why should I admit to something I haven't done?" Sikong Yun looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction and said.
Xu Miaomiao's mouth curled up slightly: "Let's see if he has done it or not. We will know if we try."
Hearing this, the prince raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, is there any way to try?"
"If it is really done by Lord Sikong, then it must be the same poison. If I were to examine it, it would be unfair. How about asking the imperial physician in the palace to examine it?"
The prince nodded in agreement and beckoned to the servant next to him: "I think it's good too."
Seeing this, Xiao Si immediately nodded and walked out of the house to find an imperial physician.
Nangong Yun's face turned pale when he saw this scene. His body was so stiff that he could not move. He said, "Your Highness, I am an important official after all. You don't believe me, but believe the words of a peasant woman. How can you let the world speculate about you? Is it necessary to use such means in such a large mansion of our Sikong family?"
The prince on the high platform heard this, but he didn't take it seriously. He slowly turned his eyes to Sikong Yun and said, "I am the prince of the world. I can't be biased towards you just because you are close to me. Isn't it unfair? How do you expect the world to treat me? If you are really a loyal minister, you should support me in testing this thing. In this way, you can prove your innocence and give justice to Madam Xu. If it is really not done by you, Sikong, why are you afraid of what the world will say?"
After these words came out, Sikong Yun was speechless, and silently lowered his head and didn't look at the others.
Because the arena was not far from the palace, the imperial physician came over after a while, hurriedly saluted the prince, and then picked up the silver needle to start examining him.
Seeing the man holding a silver needle and starting to test her knowledge, Xu Miaomiao nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hand. The medicine on the handkerchief was restored by her based on the poison in Dabao. Although it was 70% to 80% similar, it could not be said to be exactly the same. She could only hope that the imperial physician would not find out.
After a long pause, the imperial physician bowed and slowly spoke to the prince, "Your Highness, the poison on the needles is exactly the same, so it must have come from the same person."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao, who was in the audience, could finally relax her tense nerves. She put the ointment on the tip of Li Yi's nose and fumigated it. Li Yi slowly woke up.
Gu Yuanniang slowly helped him up, and Li Yi immediately rushed to the front of the stage, saluted to the prince, and said, "Your Highness, please make the decision. Mr. Sikong cheated me."
"Oh?" The prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yi: "Why, you saw it too?"
"Yes, a silver needle flew towards me at that time, but I was too slow to dodge it. Then my eyes went black and I fainted."
At this point, the prince threw the silver needle on the ground angrily, then looked at Sikong Yun and said, "Mr. Sikong, what else do you have to say? Your Sikong family is already powerful, why do you have to do such a despicable thing for a small leader? I don't know how many people have been hurt because of your good son!"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please look carefully. My son also fainted during the competition. At that time, I felt wronged and cried on the stage, but the chief examiner ignored me. Sikong Xianggong also threatened to kick me out. I was really desperate. I only spoke out in public today when this scandal happened again. Please give me justice, Your Highness."
Every word Xu Miaomiao spoke was sincere, with a slight sob in her tone. Li Yi, who was standing beside her, also knelt on the ground and looked at the man in front of him pleadingly.
The prince waved his hand and said, "Cheating will naturally result in lifetime disqualification from participating in the competition, but considering that the Sikong family is an old official, I still need to report this matter to the emperor before making a decision. That's all for today, and you can all go down first."
After saying that, the man hurriedly walked towards the palace.
Seeing this scene, Xu Miaomiao slowly stood up and helped Li Yi who was standing beside her up. Now they finally had an explanation.
She had already prepared the silver needle to hand to Li Yi, because she was not sure whether Sikong Yun would take action again this time. Obviously, when Sikong Yun saw Li Yi with his old injury, he thought he would definitely win this battle, so Xu Miaomiao also prepared a backup plan. If Sikong Yun did not take action, she would let Li Yi take action himself and put the blame on Sikong Yun.
To be on the safe side, Sikong Yun must be carrying hidden weapons, so that the truth will be revealed with a body search.
Xu Miaomiao slowly looked at Li Yi beside her and asked softly, "Do you regret it?"
Li Yi shook his head: "As long as they can get the punishment they deserve, I'm willing to do anything."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled softly. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of them, and Dabao suddenly rushed to Xu Miaomiao.
