Chapter 760: Photo Stone
The only person in the entire hall who was not affected was Zhong Nianyao. She still stood there, looking relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Under such powerful pressure, even Hua Rui, who was a supreme god, had no power to resist. She felt that her internal organs were being squeezed hard, and the divine power in her body was running around uncontrollably.
Soon, she could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Hua Rui held on tight and said, "I was just saying it casually. I absolutely did not question Your Majesty's thoughts."
Hearing Hua Rui's plea for mercy, Lu Yichen didn't even look at her.
She didn't know how long it took, but when Hua Rui felt like she was about to give up, the strong pressure on her body finally disappeared. However, even then, she no longer had the strength to stand up and could only kneel there.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't even look at Hua Rui again, but just took out a stone.
"Photo stone!" Yuan Hao exclaimed.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on Zhong Nianyao. Looking at the photo stone in her hand, they didn't know what to say for a moment.
"What are you looking at me for?" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "This photo stone records everything from the moment I saw that shadow, to where I chased it, and then until you appeared. It only stopped recording when we were about to come to Yihua Palace."
"You really are well prepared!" Lin Xi didn't know what expression he should have.
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao raised her head, glanced at Wei Ruo, and continued, "Today's events have been strange from the very beginning. Naturally, I have to make all preparations."
Others might not have noticed, but when that gaze fell on her, Weiruo's heart couldn't help but tremble. At the same time, she was also annoyed in her heart.
"Very good, it seems that no one has any objections." Zhong Nianyao nodded, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's take a look at what happened!"
As she spoke, she sent a stream of divine power towards the image stone, and a transparent object similar to a screen immediately appeared in the void.
Although it is transparent, the image quality played on it is extremely clear, and even the eyelashes can be seen clearly.
The photos on this photo stone were recorded from the moment Zhong Nian Yao and Wei Ruo met.
Everyone saw all of Zhong Nianyao's movements from the photo. And the fact was just as she said, she went back directly after meeting Wei Ruo.
However, halfway along the way, she spotted a dark figure and chased after it. Just as she was about to check on the fallen Xiaoxian, Yuanhao and the others arrived. Afterward, they left together and headed for Yihua Palace.
The subsequent scenes are no longer available, but everyone knows what happened.
After the images were all played, Zhong Nianyao stretched out her hand, and the photo stone fell into her hand again. She turned her hand back, and the photo stone disappeared into her palm.
"How is it?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "What exactly happened? Now it's all clear!"
The entire hall was in complete silence, and no one spoke first.
"Now it seems that this matter is just a misunderstanding." Wei Ruo stepped forward, smiling, and said, "We didn't do it on purpose. We just arrived there and saw the scene, so we naturally misunderstood."
"That's right." Hua Rui also looked up immediately and said, "Who asked Yaoxi to appear there? No matter who saw that, they would think it was Yaoxi who did it!"
Lu Yichen's cold gaze fell on Wei Ruo and Hua Rui, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. "So, what you mean is that this matter has nothing to do with you."
The cold words were like ice chips, chilling people to the bone.
Weiruo and Huarui were shocked, and a chill rose from the soles of their feet.
"No, this is of course our fault." Wei Ruo forced a smile and said, "We didn't understand what happened clearly and wronged Yao Xi. We should apologize."
After she finished speaking, she took a step forward and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes full of apology, "Yaoxi, it's because we were too impatient that we misunderstood you. I'm really sorry."
Although Hua Rui disliked Zhong Nianyao and didn't want to apologize, she had no choice but to apologize to her due to consideration for her feelings and the pressure from Emperor Yichen.
However, everyone could see that she was reluctant.
Zhong Nianyao didn't even look at Hua Rui, her eyes fell on Wei Ruo. She didn't say anything, just stood there, looking at Yao Xi quietly, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
Wei Ruo naturally felt Zhong Nianyao's gaze on her. At first, she didn't care. But Zhong Nianyao had no intention of looking away. That sharp gaze seemed to see through everything.
Under such gazes, she gradually felt a little uncomfortable.
Hua Rui had already stood up and was now standing next to Wei Ruo. Naturally, she quickly noticed that something was wrong with Wei Ruo. Then, she discovered that Zhong Nian Yao had been looking at Wei Ruo.
She felt angry and wanted to speak up to stop Zhong Nianyao's unreasonable behavior. But before she could open her mouth, she felt a very dangerous aura.
Hua Rui was startled when she noticed the cold look in Lu Yichen's eyes. Suddenly, all the words that were on the tip of her tongue were stuck in her throat.
Everyone present naturally noticed the strangeness between Zhong Nianyao and Wei Ruo. However, Emperor Yichen hadn't intervened, and that was naturally for his own reasons. They absolutely couldn't go against the enemy's wishes. So, they stood there and watched, without saying a word.
As time went by, Wei Ruo's face became paler and her back was soaked with cold sweat.
Finally, she couldn't help herself, and after forcing a smile, she said, "Yaoxi, is there something wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"
"Why, are you scared?" Zhong Nianyao smiled and continued, "There's a saying in the mortal world: If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. You don't dare to face me now, and I'm starting to wonder if you've done anything to let me down."
