Chapter 526: Dog bites dog (Part 1)
Xiao Lanxi's heart was shaken!
She raised her head almost uncontrollably and looked towards Ye Chutang.
Eyes met.
Those dark, lustrous and extremely calm eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
Xiao Lanxi was the first to look away, and when she reacted, she was angry and annoyed - she was actually frightened by Ye Chutang's eyes!
Xiao Lanxi wanted to explain, but every word Ye Chutang said was like a sharp blade, constantly scratching her ears, as if she would bleed and feel pain if she moved!
Looking at Xiao Lanxi who seemed to be frozen, Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
She smiled suddenly.
"I believe the Third Princess would not do such a thing. Third Princess, what do you think?"
Xiao Lanxi's throat felt dry.
She tightened and unclenched her hands in her sleeves, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
The atmosphere in the hall also fell into inexplicable weirdness, and everyone held their breath tacitly.
——The reason is simple, it’s just that Ye Chutang’s words contain too much information!
If what she said was true, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Lanxi had colluded with those Nanhu people long ago! ?
This crime is too sensitive and no one wants to be involved in it.
In the dead silence, the eldest princess finally spoke: "Chu Tang is right. Lan Xi is a princess with royal blood flowing in her body. How could she degenerate and do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Lanxi, her expression softened: "Lanxi, don't be anxious. If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. If anyone wants to frame you, I won't sit idly by. Don't worry, I will definitely clear your name."
Xiao Lanxi was shocked and confused, but she had no other choice at this moment, so she could only bow her head and thank him with tears in her eyes.
"Lan Xi thanks the Princess!"
The eldest princess turned her gaze and her eyes fell on Zhou Kangxue again.
"What you just said is just empty talk and cannot be trusted. If you cannot produce any evidence, slandering the princess is a capital crime!"
Zhou Kangxue was completely speechless, and in desperation he cursed and swore: "Every word I said just now is true! If I lied, my people and I will die!"
Everyone exchanged glances, and for a moment they became a little uncertain.
Zhou Kangxue was indeed a cunning man. He often took advantage of his good family background to bully others in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Sometimes he even ignored some court officials.
But now he is even risking the lives of his own people. Could it be that... Xiao Lanxi is really not clean?
Several suspicious glances fell on Xiao Lanxi and Zhou Kangxue one after another, and it was impossible to confirm for a while.
Fan Chengzhuo suddenly said, "What the Third Princess said just now is not without reason. It would be too hasty to conclude that she is related to this matter just because she has been in Guanling for a few years. As far as I know, Miss Ye Er has never been to Guanling, but she was able to help King Lie detoxify. Isn't that even more confusing?"
Tang Zhongli, who had been silent, couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly said:
"That's because she has superb medical skills, how can she be so ridiculous?"
Everyone: “…”
Although this is true, it is a bit too straightforward...
Fan Chengzhuo didn't expect that he would be choked by Tang Zhongli and almost couldn't breathe.
I was about to open my mouth to refute, but when I thought of this person's identity, I held it back.
He would not be afraid if it were anyone else, and he would be able to argue a little, but not Tang Zhongli.
He is well-read, has many students all over the world, and is eloquent. Even the current emperor has to give him some face.
Arguing with such a person? He is not idle!
Chen Songshi came out to smooth things over: "Everyone is here to find out the truth as quickly as possible. There's nothing to argue about. Zhou Kangxue, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Kangxue regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Why didn't he think of leaving any evidence? It's hard to explain now!
That Wang Chang vomited everything out and dragged him down with him!
Now, what should I do now!?
"It seems that we can't get anything out of him." The princess waved her hand, "Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly."
Fan Chengzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Yes!"
As he said this, he signaled with his eyes, and the guards immediately stepped forward to take Zhou Kangxue away.
"Take him back!"
Zhou Kangxue panicked instantly, and immediately started to struggle with his face flushed: "Princess! Princess! I was really confused for a moment! Please let me go!"
No one listened to his pointless defense.
Zhou Kangxue was forcibly pulled out.
His hair was disheveled and his eyes were unfocused, as if he had lost his mind.
Xiao Lanxi never looked back from beginning to end. She just lowered her head and wiped her tears in grievance and fear, as if she had not yet recovered from this chaotic situation.
Fan Chengzhuo cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Princess. I will interrogate you carefully."
The eldest princess seemed a little tired. She leaned back in her chair and raised her hand to gently rub her eyebrows.
Ye Chutang helped her adjust the soft pillow on the backrest, then looked up at Fan Chengzhuo and said with a smile:
"Lord Fan has always been strict. I believe that the truth will be uncovered, the perpetrators will be punished, and the innocent will receive justice."
Zhou Kangxue, who was about to be dragged out, heard these calm and gentle words, but he seemed to be suddenly greatly stimulated and began to struggle violently!
Fan Chengzhuo!
Everyone knows that he has been in charge of the Ministry of Justice for these years and is a living devil!
Even Zhou Kangxue had heard a lot about his horrific methods!
As long as he wants, there is no mouth he can't pry open!
Once you fall into his hands, you will be worse off than dead!
He couldn't just admit it like that!
"Princess! What I said is true! Xiao Lanxi asked me to do all this! She hates Ye Chutang so much, otherwise why would she go to such great lengths!"
Xiao Lanxi's tears fell even more violently. She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her body trembling slightly, and she sobbed faintly.
No one responded.
Zhou Kangxue went completely crazy.
"Noble Concubine Ru! Prince Qi! They are all her backers! If they fall, how could she not hate the culprit!?"
Ye Chutang! The root of all this!
Zhou Kangxue was hysterical: "How do we know that she is not seeking revenge for the Second Prince? Or maybe, she was instructed by the Second Prince!"
