Chapter 1162

"There is a saying that a negative is a positive. If I assume that there really is a thief, and if he really came to steal the blueprint, and if I don't find the blueprint in the hidden compartment, then it means that the honorable envoy is a thief crying thief, stealing what he is guarding. But if all the assumptions are established, then there is only one result, and that is that the honorable envoy is not lying. He really doesn't know that the blueprint is hidden in the compartment of the box. If I explain it like this, can you understand?"

Chen Ning's clear and bright eyes stared at Mo Chuan. They were clear and bright, and very intelligent.

This reasoning already touched upon the deeper principles of logic. It was a bit difficult for Mo Chuan and the others, who had never come into contact with logic, to accept it.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons why she came to this conclusion. The other reason was that, through micro-observation, she found that the Northern Qi envoy was not lying.

Everyone was confused hearing this, and their brains couldn't wrap around it.

What was a negative is a positive, what was a hypothesis established?

Was the empress talking about the Book of Heaven?

Although they couldn't understand, they all believed Chen Ning's words without a doubt. They admired her intelligence to the point of prostrating themselves, so no one questioned her.

Mo Chuan looked at Chen Ning, and his originally stern face revealed a faint smile. It was like the ice had melted, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind.

He reached out his hand and lovingly rubbed her hair. In a soft voice, he said, "I don't understand, but I believe you."

The imperial guards saw the faint smile on Mo Chuan's face, and they were so shocked that they couldn't believe their eyes.

The serious emperor in their eyes, who never smiled, could actually have such a gentle moment? He could actually smile?

Especially when the emperor could use such a gentle tone to speak …

They had never seen or heard of it before!

Chen Ning's white jade-like cheeks turned slightly red. She didn't think that Mo Chuan would reveal such a tender and sweet expression to her in front of everyone. His gentle eyes were like water, making her drown in them.

She awkwardly cleared her throat and looked away, looking at the Northern Qi envoy.

"Honorable envoy, since the blueprint has been found, can we continue with the deal between our two countries?"

"This ….. this?" The Northern Qi envoy's expression was filled with hesitation.

His heart had just fallen back into his stomach, but he tightly gripped the blueprint in his hand. His heart was already beating a retreat.

This theft had scared him to the point that three out of seven souls had disappeared. It was all because of the blueprint. Now it was proven that the person who stole the blueprint was someone else, and this person was without a doubt a West Chu citizen. Perhaps he was sent by the young emperor in front of him, so he didn't want to sell the blueprint to a thief!

Chen Ning looked at his expression and already guessed his thoughts.
