Chapter 764: Falling Out (Part 1)
Ye Chutang turned his head and looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression.
"What is the princess talking about?"
At this time, the cuffs fell back and the bracelet disappeared.
However, Xiao Lanxi still stared at her, her heart beating wildly.
——She saw it clearly just now, there is no way she could be wrong!
The iron wire on the turquoise bead is faintly visible!
She had only seen one bead like that in the world!
Xiao Lanxi didn't care about anything else and stood up to rush over!
"Give it back to me!"
As soon as she moved, the guards on both sides prepared to come over, but before they could touch her, Xiao Lanxi's legs went weak and she fell heavily to the ground.
She is now extremely weak and can't move anymore.
Ye Chutang seemed to realize something, raised his wrist, and revealed the bead again.
"Princess, you mean this?"
Xiao Lanxi's eyes were red and her breathing was rapid. The pitiful tears in her eyes had long disappeared, replaced by paranoia and madness that were difficult to conceal.
"This is my stuff, how could it be with you!"
She had always carried it with her before, but on the day of her escape, she lost consciousness and had no idea what had happened. When she woke up again, she found that the bead was missing.
She was sad about this for a long time, but she also knew that she would never risk returning to the palace for such a pearl, so she finally accepted the result with great pain.
But who knew that this bead would appear on Ye Chutang's wrist!
Emperor Mu Wu glanced sideways, his brows furrowed slightly.
"It's just a bracelet. It doesn't look worth much. Why do you say it's yours?"
Although Xiao Lanxi was not favored, she was still a princess after all and had never lacked food and clothing. Now she was so out of control for such a worthless little thing, which really disgusted Emperor Mu Wu.
Xiao Lanxi's resurrection was already full of doubts, and now she suddenly reacted so violently. How could he like her?
"How can a princess be so openly noisy? How unbecoming!"
Anger suddenly ignited in Xiao Lanxi's heart!
She slowly looked towards Emperor Mu Wu, her teeth clenched, her whole body trembling slightly.
She asked back softly.
"Could it be that Father doesn't recognize this bead?"
bead?
Emperor Mu Wu then realized that she was not looking at the bracelet, but only the turquoise on it.
This is not a precious item, and it looks ordinary, so naturally he doesn't like it.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Xiao Lanxi suddenly laughed softly.
Her face was full of sarcasm.
"You are the Son of Heaven, ruling the world. Naturally, you wouldn't care about such a worthless pearl. I'm afraid you've already completely forgotten its owner, haven't you?"
Owner?
Emperor Mu Wu frowned. "Since this thing is on Chu Tang's hand, it must be hers. What on earth are you talking about?"
Xiao Lanxi was still smiling, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"It seems that my mother has passed away for many years, and my father really has forgotten her."
Emperor Mu Wu was shocked and finally realized something.
Yes, turquoise... is indeed an item that is produced in abundance in Nanhu.
But how can we be sure that this is the one she said with just such a small bead?
Ye Chutang broke the dead silence, "To be honest, this is a gift that Ah Feng brought me when he came back from Longcheng. He said there are a lot of people over there who specialize in selling these as souvenirs. He thought it was quite unique, so he brought me one. It seems Princess Yuhe has misunderstood."
Xiao Lanxi's eyes were red and there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.
"How could I admit my mistake!"
This is something she has worn close to her body for many years, and no one knows it better than her!
Ye Chutang said that it was given by Ye Yunfeng...it was all lies!
Seeing that Xiao Lanxi was still emotional, Ye Chutang paused and shook his head gently, "If it was something else, Princess, if you wanted it, I would give it to you, but this is a gift from Afeng. I cherish it, and I hope Princess will forgive me. I can't give you this thing."
The last sentence completely stimulated Xiao Lanxi.
She suddenly said sharply, "You're talking nonsense! This is clearly something my mother left me! When did it become yours? You must have stolen it on the day I faked my death! You—"
"suspended animation?"
Chen Yanchuan suddenly spoke, and turned back thoughtfully.
"Didn't Princess Yuhe just say that she passed out that day and was abducted from the palace by thieves? How come now she's faking her death?"
Xiao Lanxi was stunned and his face turned pale.
——She lost her composure for a moment and accidentally said the word she shouldn’t have said!
"I……"
She suddenly started to stutter, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable guilt and nervousness.
Seeing her reaction like this, what else could the people present not guess?
This farce—Xiao Lanxi clearly knew about it from the very beginning!
Emperor Mu Wu leaned back in his chair, just looked at her and spoke in a deep voice.
"I also found it strange at first. That day, the palace servants reported that you committed suicide by taking poison. I even sent Chu Tang to investigate, and everything was confirmed. And now, you appear here again, all right. I also want to know what happened that day?"
Xiao Lanxi's face became increasingly ugly, and she could only shake her head sadly.
"No, no... My daughter doesn't know either..."
At this moment, a sharp sneer suddenly came from the side. It turned out to be Fan Chengzhuo who was watching coldly and sneering.
"If Princess Yuhe doesn't know, then I'm afraid few people in this world know. After all, to inoculate this life and death poison, one must endure the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at one's heart. If Princess Yuhe herself doesn't agree, how can this poison be successfully inoculated?"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
Fan Chengzhuo's short words immediately caused a huge wave of shock in everyone's hearts!
"Life and Death Gu?! What is that thing!?" Even Eunuch Li, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but exclaim in horror.
Even if you don't know much about poison, you can guess what it is by hearing the name.
Emperor Mu Wu's face turned cold and his expression became gloomy.
Xiao Chenglin's chest rose and fell slightly, and he tilted his head to warn coldly, "Lord Fan, it's not enough to slander me, are you trying to throw dirty water on more people?"
"Throwing dirty water?"
Fan Chengzhuo was completely crazy. He laughed out loud when he heard this, and his tears came out.
"You know full well whether what I said is true or not! The palace is heavily guarded. If she hadn't faked her own death using the Life and Death Gu to escape, how did she appear outside the palace?!"
He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Lanxi, sneering and cursing.
"The Second Prince, Xiao Chengxuan, has been exiled, and the Jiang family has been confiscated! And she, too, is burdened with numerous unclear charges. If she hadn't used this method to escape, she would have been dead long ago! Imprisoned... Ha! I'm afraid she's escaped and is now living a carefree life!"
Fan Chengzhuo said the more he hated it.
At first, he tried every possible way to speak for Xiao Lanxi and wanted to save her, but the result was nothing but a joke!
In that case, let’s all go to hell together!
"Prince Jing! Do you dare to say that you didn't add fuel to the fire?"
