"Also, the singer who caused the dispute that night disappeared that night. According to her friends on the boat, she came to the capital to find a friend. After the dispute that night, she got the news from her friend and went out. If it was Ruan Chang 'an who set her up to take revenge, how did he know that Niinu came to the capital to find someone? So based on the above points, I think that Ruan Chang 'an might not be behind this case. "
After she finished speaking, the entire hall was silent.
The Empress' eyes fell on her silently, changing unpredictably. Just as a drop of cold sweat was about to fall from Ning Shu's forehead, the Empress chuckled and slowly got up from the phoenix chair, walking down the steps to stand in front of her.
"This little mouth is really as cute as before. Forget it, Hexin and Duke Ning also had great achievements in the court. This time, for their sake, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Remember, if you can't solve this case smoothly, don't blame me for having to get rid of you! "
Coming out of the hall, Ning Shu suddenly realized that her back was wet and cold.
The moment the vermillion door opened, Xiao Yunyi, who had been kneeling outside the hall, immediately got up to walk towards her, his eyes brightening. But the Empress' voice came from inside the hall. He paused, seeming to hesitate, but still decided to enter the hall first.
When they brushed past each other, Xiao Yunyi whispered in her ear, "Wait for me for a while."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for pleading leniency for me. This little girl is very grateful, but this little girl still has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ning Shu bowed to him solemnly and politely, then walked down the steps.
Xiao Yunyi immediately caught up, his eyebrows furrowed. "Why don't you believe that I have you in my heart?"
Ning Shu sighed softly. "Your Highness, I helped you once when you were five years old. You mistakenly thought that you had me in your heart, but it was just a long-term illusion caused by a moment of emotion. Your Highness, so many years have passed, you should wake up. When you meet the Fei Luan I'm talking about, you will immediately understand. "
"It's not like that, listen to me …"
He hurriedly chased after her, but the palace maid's voice sounded again. "Your Highness, Her Highness is waiting for you."
Because of that moment of hesitation, he was no longer able to catch up. He looked in the direction that Ning Shu had left and clenched his fists. Then, he gritted his teeth and turned to step into the Empress' palace.
After completely leaving the territory of the Phoenix Algae Court, Ning Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiahou Qing was the first to leave the hall with Jiusi's help. He was waiting for her under a winding corridor. Wisteria was planted on the porch, and strings of purple flowers fell through the gaps in the roof and stopped above his head.
Behind him were rows and rows of golden tiles and red walls of varying heights. They were obviously very warm colors, but it gave people a sense of awe as if it was too cold at the top.
She lifted the corner of her skirt and quickly walked a few steps to his side. She glanced sideways at the crown prince, who seemed to be unhappy because he had waited for her for a long time, and said, "Your Highness came in just in time."
She didn't say that she had arrived in time, but that she had arrived in time. Xiahou Qing immediately understood the meaning behind her words. He said, "How did you know that I had been waiting outside the Empress' palace?"
"Your Highness has the scent of the Du Heng incense that you often use in your room. Although it is relatively faint, I am born with a keen sense of smell." Ning Shu was very resentful. He had clearly guessed that she would spend every day in there like a year, but he had chosen the right time to come in. This wicked taste that could not be changed made people break down. That's right, he had also taken the opportunity to kick her.
Xiahou Qing raised the corner of his lips and spat out three words, "Dog nose."
He then said, "You told me before that a small rotten idea had taken shape. I didn't think it would be so rotten."
Ning Shu rubbed the tip of her nose and said helplessly, "Although it is very rotten, Your Highness, don't you think that this is the only way at present? Facts have proven that it is effective."
The Empress had known long ago, and it was hard to guarantee that His Majesty did not know a thing or two. However, no one stood out to expose it. This meant that from top to bottom, everyone wanted to cover up this matter. Therefore, the only thing she could do was to force the truth out of Ruan Chang 'an's mouth in public in front of countless pairs of ears. Only by making this matter impossible to cover up could she break out of this situation.
Otherwise, when the imperial court slowly found out in secret, Cloud Leaf's bones would have turned into ashes.
