Pingyang stared at Empress Xiao with his almond-shaped eyes wide open, then suddenly rushed forward and snatched the portrait from Empress Xiao's hand.
"Pingyang, what are you doing?"
Empress Xiao was startled by Pingyang's sudden rude behavior. Her face immediately turned unhappy and she scolded him.
"Empress, you said the person in this portrait is the old man Wushuang?"
Pingyang frowned and asked in confusion.
"Why? You know him too?"
Empress Xiao immediately asked back.
Pingyang raised her eyes in a flash. No, this is not right. How could the person in this portrait be Wushuang Old Man? This is clearly the old monster in black, the one who bit her with a snake, wanted to kill her, and took Qing Er away!
This portrait was painted by Qin Wan not long ago. The ink has just dried for a long time, and she accidentally dropped a drop of ink on the corner because she was distracted. This is the portrait of the assassin in black that she painted!
So what's going on?
"Pingyang, what's wrong?"
Everyone in the palace could see that Pingyang was in a bad mood, and the eldest princess asked with concern in her eyes.
"Mom, this, this painting was drawn by me, but the one I drew is the weird old man who killed me and took Qing Er away last night!"
Pingyang exclaimed in shock.
Qing Yunyao was choked by her breath, and her mind was buzzing!
She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Wan, but saw her standing there with no expression on her face, only looking at her with a sarcastic look.
So this is her purpose!
So this is the back-up plan!
"What? Pingyang, what are you talking about?"
The eldest princess also expressed her confusion.
Not only the Princess, but also Empress Xiao and Chu Yan were stunned for a moment. Then Empress Xiao coldly scolded, "Pingyang, what nonsense are you talking about? This man is Senior Wushuang. How could he be the assassin who captured Qing Er? Are you out of your mind?"
Empress Xiao scolded angrily.
Pingyang shuddered. Her foggy mind, now clearer than before, became even clearer after Empress Xiao's scolding. Holding the portrait in her hand, she looked at Qing Yunyao in confusion, "Sister Qing, what's going on? Is the person in this portrait Senior Wushuang? Is he your master? But why did he capture Qing Er? Why did he kill him?"
You could hear a pin drop in the hall. Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events and no one spoke for a while.
"Pingyang, are you seeing things? How could the person in this painting possibly have killed my second brother?"
Qing Yunyao suppressed the panic in her heart and spoke with some force, but in fact she was in a panic at this moment.
Hearing Qing Yunyao's words, Pingyang was even more puzzled, anxious and confused, and even panicked in her heart. Her eyes turned red with anxiety and she shouted, "How could I be wrong? I was face to face with that black-robed weirdo last night. He looked me in the eye and pinched my neck. I can remember what he looked like just by closing my eyes!"
This portrait is the murderer I just drew!
But why did Empress Xiao call her the unparalleled old man? You yourself admitted that he was your master.
Sister Qing, what on earth is going on? Did your master capture Qing Er and kill him?
Pingyang's mind had never been so clear. She suddenly remembered that when she got off the carriage, Qin Wan said something meaningful to her, telling her not to get emotional after entering the palace, and to keep a clear head and a calm mind.
As Pingyang asked one question after another, everyone seemed to understand.
In other words, Qing Er’s death had nothing to do with Feng Ling and Qin Wan, but was done by Princess You’s master, Senior Wushuang?
Confused and shocked, all eyes fell on Qing Yunyao.
The main reason is that the reversal of events was too unexpected.
"Qin Wan, you know what's going on, right? Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Pingyang looked at Qin Wan anxiously, as if only Qin Wan could give her an answer.
Qing Yue's face was emotionless. She simply watched all this with a cold gaze, and then slowly spoke, "As everyone can see, this is the truth of the matter...
It wasn't me who killed Qing Zhan, it was Princess You's master who captured Qing Zhan and even nearly killed Pingyang to silence her. So after Pingyang ran to Prince Yu's mansion for help, Feng Ling and I immediately went to find Qing Yunyao and forced her to reveal her master's whereabouts. We wanted to rescue Qing Zhan as quickly as possible, but we were still a step too late.
As Qing Yue finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
"Nonsense, Qin Wan, stop slandering my master. How could my master possibly have killed my second brother? It was you, you who instigated Pingyang's rebellion, deliberately framing my master and trying to clear yourself of the murder, right?"
Qing Yunyao yelled angrily, and was very excited.
She couldn't admit it, she absolutely couldn't admit it, otherwise how would she explain all this? Then she had to overturn the idea that this portrait was the murderer. After all, only Pingyang knew the truth, so she could push Pingyang out as well!
What an idiot.
The moment Qing Yunyao spoke, Qing Yue smiled silently again. Apart from framing others and plotting behind their backs, Qing Yunyao really had no brains.
As soon as these words were spoken, Pingyang was the first to be shocked.
She stared at Qing Yunyao with wide eyes, shocked and grief-stricken, and immediately shouted, "Sister Qing, what do you mean? You don't believe me? Are you saying I'm lying?"
Hearing Pingyang's question, Qing Yunyao's eyes flashed, and then she said, "Pingyang, don't tell lies. Did Qin Wan and Prince Yu tell you something that made you draw a portrait of my master and say that he was the murderer of my second brother?"
"No, no, I didn't lie. Qin Wan and Sixth Brother never told me anything. I told the truth. The person I drew was the murderer. Sister Qing, you don't believe me? Don't you believe me?"
Qing Yunyao looked at Qing Yunyao in disbelief. She never expected that Sister Qing, who used to be so close to her, would question her like this.
At this time, Empress Xiao finally realized that she had been tricked!
She was the queen of a nation, yet she was set up by a mere abandoned girl. The scheme had begun the moment Qin Wan produced Senior Wushuang's portrait. They had instigated a rebellion against Pingyang, yet they dared to pin the blame for the murder on Senior Wushuang. How dare they? If Senior Wushuang knew about this and blamed her, what would she do?
God knows how shocked she was when she found out that Senior Wushuang was Yue Yatou's master.
Qin Wan actually wanted to ruin it all.
What a vicious mind!
What a great Qin Wan, what a great Feng Ling!
"Pingyang, I've always treated you well, and you and Qing Er have always had a good relationship. So why did you collude with Prince Yu's Mansion, distorting right and wrong, and actually framing Senior Wushuang for the murder? Do you know what the consequences would be if Senior Wushuang learned of this?"
