A maid immediately cleaned up the teacup. Zhiqin seized the opportunity, withdrew her hand, and returned to serve Princess Yongle.
This small incident did not affect the trial. However, what was surprising was that until the last person touched the saw-scaled viper and it was almost dark, no one was bitten again.
"It seems that, apart from the people of the Ling family, the only one who has come into contact with Ling Xiang is the nanny from before?" Prince Huai yawned, looking bored and eager to watch the show. "Could it be that the nanny kidnapped Ling Xiang?"
Ling Xiang looked towards the setting sun in the west: "Whether it is true or not, we will know after dark. Please wait patiently for a while."
Night fell quickly, and gradually, fluorescent lights appeared on some people's hands, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Ling Xiang looked at everyone and said, "Now, please show us your hands that have touched a saw-scaled viper."
The servants of the Prince of Qin's Mansion were the first to do so. In an instant, wisps of fluorescent light flashed, and in the dark night, it looked like stars lighting up, which was very beautiful.

Princess Yongle glanced at Zhiqin, who fell to her knees, her voice in tears.
"Princess, Your Majesty, I did have contact with Miss Ling, but I really didn't harm her!"
"Since you've been in contact with Miss Ling, why didn't you tell me before? Aren't you really afraid of being bitten by a saw-scaled viper?" Prince Huai asked, completely unaware that he was overstepping his bounds and even adding fuel to the fire. He looked at Princess Yongle with a pointed look.
"Could it be that you are sure that you will not be discovered if you cheat?"
"I really didn't harm Miss Ling!" Zhiqin was so scared that she was shaking like a sieve. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, trying to prove herself.
