Chapter 128: Damn it, and I feel so good about scolding you
Qi Yue was an envoy from another country, so he did not need to kneel down in Daxia according to the etiquette of the Xia Dynasty's monarch and his subjects. Naturally, he was not inferior to the officials.
However, perhaps it was because he knew that the Ministry of Justice was headed by Princess Zhaohua.
Therefore, Qi Yue's attitude was much more humble than usual.
But at this moment, Xiao Tingye's glance towards her made her feel a chill all over her body.
The subconscious sense of crisis made her feel a little nervous.
She knew who it was.
The Kingdom of Beasts can tame beasts, so naturally they also possess the same sharpness and intuition as animals.
At the dinner party, every time the princess looked at her, she felt this gaze.
Qi Yue sneered, "What I mean is that I have no motive to assassinate the princess. I am not stupid enough to deliberately carry the tokens with me and even lose one. My lord, do you agree?"
Qi Yue, you are truly brave.
[This isn't how you play it, I don't want to see Qi Yue being forced offline by the villain.]
[I don’t care, whether it’s friendship or love, I’ve already eaten this meal. It’s already in my mouth, and it would be rude not to eat it.]
[Qi Yue, if you say you're a woman... Never mind. Women are the same. The villain gets jealous and doesn't care about gender.]
The princesses smiled with pride.
"Our princess is very popular, so it's normal for Master Qi from the Beast Kingdom to admire her."
"Yes, admiring Princess Zhaohua is as easy as breathing, isn't it?"
"Someone who admires Princess Zhaohua would naturally not assassinate her. This must be a frame-up."
"That's right, Master Qi must have been wronged..."
…
After Lin Zhaoyue knew that Qi Yue was Xiaoshan, she was not surprised by what she said.
She saved Qi Yue's life, so it's normal for her to feel grateful to her and show affection for her.
However, she is a man now, and saying these words may easily cause misunderstandings from others.
Suddenly, Xiao Tingye's low and hoarse voice sounded softly in her ears.
"Your Highness's ability to attract bees and butterflies is getting better and better." It's hard to tell whether his voice is happy or angry, but it makes people feel uneasy.
He added coldly, "However, some people are born lowly, obsessed with lust and only interested in picking up beautiful branches. Your Highness, please do not be deceived by those who flatter you with sweet words."
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
Is this human language?
[Hahahahahaha, I won’t tell you who is jealous]
[The villain's mouth, did he grow up eating arsenic? ]
[Let me translate this. Lao Xiao: My wife is just likable, but I know it’s not my wife’s fault. It’s all because of them being despicable and lustful and trying to seduce my wife. My wife, please don’t be fooled by these bitches.]
[Humble Old Xiao, no wonder I always only deal with those who seduce the princess. I can’t blame my wife at all, hahahaha]
[Hahahaha, my wife is so beautiful, what's wrong with her? It's all the fault of those bitches]
[Lao Xiao → The correct way to open the love brain]
Lin Zhaoyue's expression changed subtly, but she replied calmly, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Not only was Xiao Tingye not annoyed, but a dangerous dark color appeared at the corners of his eyes.
His eyes fell on the faintly visible mole on the side of her neck like feathers, and he curled his thin lips slightly with a hint of playfulness that made people's heart beat faster.
Even though he clearly didn't say anything.
But that look and gesture made Lin Zhaoyue understand what he said in his eyes——
[Lao Xiao: That’s right, that’s me. I’m cheap, I’m lustful, and I’m greedy for the princess’ body.]
Very good, the subtitles have been translated for her.
Lin Zhaoyue: ...
She didn't look at Xiao Tingye, her eyes fell on Qi Yue, and she said coldly in a low voice: "Shameless."
However, she had just finished cursing.
But suddenly I felt that something was wrong with someone around me.
…
Oh no.
It feels good to curse again.
At this time, Xie Yu had already finished interrogating Qi Yue.
"Since the token has nothing to do with Lord Qi, and Lord Qi is unaware of this matter, and the princess's assassins also said they left it behind on purpose to frame the Ten Thousand Beasts Nation, then this matter has nothing to do with Lord Qi. Summoning Lord Qi is just a routine questioning, so please don't mind. I am only here to clear the name of the Ten Thousand Beasts Nation before everyone."
Xie Yu's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Although his words were spoken with respect to Qi Yue, the envoy from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts.
But his tone was a bit cold, and one could even tell that Xie Yu was obviously unhappy with Qi Yue.
As the princess's loyal "running dog", Xie Yu believed that Qi Yue had offended the princess.
Therefore, he naturally felt dissatisfied with this envoy who was almost reckless and outspoken.
Qi Yue smiled slightly and nodded: "Thank you very much, sir."
Concubine Chun suddenly spoke up, "Thank you, Lord. It's too hasty to assume that the Myriad Beasts Kingdom had nothing to do with the assassination of the princess. After all, the token also belongs to the Myriad Beasts Kingdom. How can we just listen to Lord Qi's one-sided story?"
After hearing Concubine Chun's words, many people looked at her.
Concubine Chun smiled faintly, but said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I only raised a question. After all, the assassination of the princess is of great importance. Moreover, now that the thieves have framed me...I can't help but be a little concerned about this matter."
Lin Zhaoyue's weak voice sounded at the right moment, "Father, Lord Qi Yueqi is an old friend of mine..."
This sentence once again cleared Qi Yue's suspicion.
When Qi Yue heard Lin Zhaoyue's words, the corners of her mouth curled up and her eyes lit up.
Although the emperor was surprised, he was more curious.
Qi Yue is actually an old acquaintance of Zhao Yue?
But I didn't ask any further questions at this time.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tingye's eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at Qi Yue calmly, with a chilling look in his eyes.
"So Lord Qi and Her Royal Highness are old friends... But the token left by the assassin is from the Myriad Beasts Nation." Concubine Chun smiled faintly. "It's too hasty to deny any connection based on one side of the story. I'm deeply saddened by Her Royal Highness's serious injuries. I won't be able to rest in peace until the murderer is apprehended."
Lin Zhaoyue spoke calmly, "Didn't Concubine Chun hear clearly that the assassin himself admitted to the frame-up?"
Concubine Chun's expression changed slightly: "Assassin..."
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled slightly, "The assassin is not dead, Concubine Chun."
Concubine Chun's face turned pale.
Xie Yu said coldly: "Bring in the two assassins who killed the princess!"
Soon prisoners were brought in with handcuffs and shackles.
Concubine Chun clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her expression became more and more ugly, and she glared at the maid beside her hatefully.
The maid lowered her head quickly, seemingly puzzled as to why this happened.
The emperor looked at Concubine Chun calmly, with no warmth in his eyes.
When the two assassins were brought to the court, Concubine Chun's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
