Feng Ling snorted coldly, his eyes full of evil. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Wan's hand gently rested on his shoulder. It was really just a light touch, without saying anything. Feng Ling actually shut up instantly, and the arrogance that had just risen up in him was instantly concealed.
This scene was truly shocking to everyone.
It was as if Feng Ling was calmed down by Qin Wan's gentle pat.
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Was his youngest son being controlled by Qin Wan?
The Emperor of Chu had long since fallen silent. Initially, he had truly believed Qin Wan was insignificant and that everything seemed to be caused by her, so he had considered simply ordering her death. Who could have imagined that things would develop in this direction? So, thinking of his initial words and his attitude towards Qin Wan, as an emperor, he cautiously remained silent.
Chu Yan also narrowed his eyes. It was hard to say what he felt, but his eyes became a little colder.
The most frightened person was Qin Hongzhang. He didn't even dare to breathe. He looked at Qin Wan as if she was a monster from beginning to end. He couldn't believe that this person was his little daughter. Her dignified aura and calm mind turned the defeat around. In addition, when he saw her pressing Prince Yu's shoulder just now, a gleam of light flashed in Qin Hongzhang's eyes.
"It was indeed me who injured Princess You's face."
Qing Yue suddenly spoke.
"You've admitted it yourself, Qin Wan. You have such a vicious mind."
Empress Xiao said coldly.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. It was precisely because Qin Wan had justice in his heart and had good intentions that he only slashed Qing Yunyao's face and spared her life."
"A sharp tongue and a good eloquence!"
Empress Xiao scolded coldly. She really hated Qin Wan now and wished she could execute her immediately.
The next moment, Qin Wan bowed in the direction of Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, why did Qin Wan scratch Princess You's face? It was truly an accident. Qing Zhan's death was already extremely chilling. I already knew that it was Princess You's master who killed Qing Zhan, but Princess You insisted on framing me, saying that I killed Qing Zhan and that she had to kill me to avenge Qing Zhan... If I don't fight back, I'm afraid I won't even be alive..."
"Nonsense! Full of lies!"
Empress Xiao scolded angrily.
Qing Yue frowned slightly and said, "Everything this servant said is true. Princess You has been completely deceived by her master. She doesn't believe that her second brother was killed by her master. She is determined to kill me as the murderer. Everyone's emotions were out of control at the time, so this servant accidentally scratched Princess You's face."
Qing Yunyao knew exactly what was going on. This Qing Yue really dared to lie and talk nonsense with his eyes open.
"Qin Wan, do you think I'm dead? You can use all your clever words here, but I saw with my own eyes that you were trying to kill Yue'er and ended up slashing her face. You clearly did it on purpose, so how could it be an accident?"
Chu Yan coldly exposed Qing Yue's lies.
Pingyang was stunned. She was actually thinking about what happened in the wooden house. It seemed that Qin Wan had deliberately scratched Sister Qing's face, and Qin Wan was very emotionally broken at that time.
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, is there any point in continuing? The Second Young Master of the Qing Family was murdered by Princess You's master, but Princess You framed Qin Wan. Qin Wan was unable to defend herself and had an argument with Qing Yue, which resulted in her slashing her face.
Qin Yatou did do something wrong, but it was understandable.
If Prince You's Mansion and the Queen insist on pursuing this, then I'll just cut a knife across this Imperial Concubine's face as compensation."
Concubine Feng finally couldn't help it and spoke out immediately.
As soon as these words came out, the first person who couldn't stand it was Emperor Chu. He immediately scolded him lovingly, "Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with you?"
Concubine Feng pressed her handkerchief against her eyes. "How can it not matter? Isn't Qin Wan my daughter-in-law? She was framed and humiliated. As her mother, how can I do nothing?"
The beauty's eyes were filled with tears and her brows were filled with sorrow. When the Emperor Chu saw this look, he felt so soft-hearted.
Empress Xiao watched from the side and gritted her teeth, "Bitch, you always use your lust to show off."
"After listening to everything today, this noble concubine feels that the one who is most wronged is Qin Wan. She is the one who saved people, she is the one who ran around, and she is the one who was wronged. They have clearly found the person who killed Qing Zhan, but the Queen Mother and Prince You's Mansion refused to admit it, and even refused to believe Pingyang's identification. However, I believe what Wan and Pingyang said.
"The girl said that Princess You's master is a bad guy, not Senior Wushuang at all, but an imposter. I think the emperor must conduct a thorough investigation. He is hiding in the capital of the Great Zhou under an assumed identity, and who knows what conspiracy he might have."
"Your Highness is wrong. I think Qin Wan is talking nonsense. After all, I have seen Senior Wushuang with my own eyes and witnessed his medical skills. But Qin Wan is just saying that she is Senior Wushuang's apprentice. That is really ridiculous."
Empress Xiao said sarcastically.
Qing Yunyao was sweating profusely as she turned around and around, and the topic finally came back.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Emperor Chu pinched his brows and had a severe headache. No matter how much he talked, there was still no result.
"Qin Wan, you said your master is the Wushuang Elder. Can you make your master show up?"
The King of Chu asked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Qing Yue. Qing Yunyao lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them. She knew that Qing Yue's master would never appear again.
"This servant has been unable to contact the master for a long time."
Qing Yue said softly, her tone full of melancholy and even a hint of worry.
She had tried sending many secret codes to her master, but there had been no response.
"Oh, I've been saying this, all of this is just her nonsense. Not only did she slander Yue's master, she also cleared herself of all charges. She's really scheming."
Empress Xiao taunted.
Pingyang was extremely anxious. She knew that Qin Wan was not lying and that Sister Qing's master was the murderer.
Seeing her daughter stamping her feet anxiously, the princess's eyes narrowed. She coughed lightly and said, "I want to say a few words."
"Ayu, what are your thoughts?"
The King of Chu asked hurriedly. He always respected his eldest sister who was born to the same mother as him.
Everyone in the hall looked at her, and then they heard Princess Chu Yu say, "Today's events still hinge on Senior Wushuang. As long as either Qingyue or Qinwan can prove that they are Senior Wushuang's apprentice, then the truth will be revealed, right?"
Princess Chu Yu spoke directly and to the point.
"How do you prove it?"
The King of Chu asked.
"Old Man Wushuang is highly respected, and his medical skills are unparalleled. It is said that he can bring people back to life and turn flesh into bones. Since both Qingyue and Qinwan say that their master is Old Man Wushuang, then they must have inherited his medical skills, right? How about a competition?"
