C104 There Is No Excuse for Hundreds of Questions

It had to be said that this time, Liu Zhixue was very smart and cruel. The smart part was that people would often believe what they saw, and the cruel part was that they would use their own flesh and blood to frame her.

This was something that no one would ever do as a mother. From this, it could be seen how much Liu Zhixue hated her in her heart, to the point where she would be punished no matter what price she had to pay.

Yan Xiaoxi quietly looked at Nangong Lin, who was standing above her. There was no panic, no guilt, no misgivings. She was so calm, showing her sincerity in front of him.

Nangong Lin had once said that no matter what happened, he wanted her to believe in him. This was something she could do.

And now? Would he believe what he saw with his own eyes, or would he choose to believe her?

"Little Linlin, I don't have one." Even if the entire world felt that she was the one who pushed Liu Zhixue down, that she was stone-cold, jealous, cruel and merciless, that everything was fine, that she did not have any fear, and that she only hoped that Nangong Lin would believe in her, that was all.

"What? I saw it with my own eyes." Imperial Concubine Xiao hurriedly didn't say anything, not giving Nangong Lin the chance to speak.

"Imperial Concubine Xiao, are you sure this Concubine really pushed Liu Zhixue down?" Yan Xiaoxi's words were light and casual, but they gave people a sense of oppression.

Imperial Concubine Xiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that Yan Xiaoxi would still be so calm at this point in time; she really wasn't as easy to deal with as she thought. But she wasn't bad either, after all these years, countless people had died at her hands.

"All of us can see that it was Princess Lin who pushed him here. What else do you have to say?" Imperial Concubine Xiao shifted her gaze to the two people above. From their position, they would definitely be able to clearly see the scene just now.

The scene that appeared was exactly the same as what they had planned. Yan Xiaoxi actually reached out to grab Liu Zhixue, and looking from that direction, it just so happened that Yan Xiaoxi had pushed Liu Zhixue down.

It was irrefutable, and there was no way to argue against it.

"I saw it with my own eyes. Even if Meng'er didn't say anything, I still wouldn't let this matter rest." Nangong Zhen had his men carry Liu Zhixue back to the crown prince's palace, while he stayed behind to seek justice for her.

She was carrying his child in her womb. While it was true that Nangong Zhen had married Liu Zhixue for another purpose, the child's arrival had been sudden. Thus, he had mentally prepared himself to accept it.

It was innocent. He wanted Liu Zhixue to have this child, his first child.

However, that child was right in front of his eyes. Yan Xiaoxi had killed him on the spot.

Nangong Lin tightly clenched his fists as his veins bulged. His entire body was emitting a murderous rage. This time, he had truly made a move.

"Princess Lin heard it. The imperial concubine and the crown prince have both seen it. Don't say I framed you." Imperial Concubine Xiao's face was filled with a single word, 'pleased'.

Anyone who went against her would not have a good ending. This move of killing a chicken to make an example for Liu Zhixue to see, in the future, if she played any tricks for him, her fate would definitely be even worse than Yan Xiaoxi's.

Yan Xiaoxi stood on the spot, her gaze never leaving Nangong Lin.

She had already fallen into this trap.

It had already happened, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Right now, she only wanted to confirm one thing. What did Nangong Lin think of her?

Up on the stage, Nangong Xiao and Nangong Lin had been keeping quiet without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoxi looked into Nangong Lin's eyes that were as pale as stars and asked, "Do you believe me?"

For a long time, the scene did not receive any response.

Sometimes, silence was already a form of silent response.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi seemed to understand.

She had thought that her love for Nangong Lin had reached an impeccable level and that they had reached a tacit agreement. They had such a sweet relationship. However, in front of such a trial, they were unable to withstand even a single blow.

They didn't even have the basic trust between them.

Yan Xiaoxi's heart instantly turned cold.

Nangong Lin, what right do you have to make her believe you no matter what the circumstances are? What can't be done by herself, what right do you have to force it on others?

The scenes of the past played out in front of his eyes. All the beautiful scenes from the past flooded into his mind like a sea.

Yan Xiaoxi discovered that they had truly gone through too many things together. There were doubts, disputes, sweetness, and no trust.

She felt that she was very ironic, very foolish, and very naive. She actually believed that Nangong Lin was truly dead set on her and would not change even if she died.

Even they were unable to pass through such a small obstacle. Yan Xiaoxi was unable to imagine just how this love would turn into over the course of such a long period of time.

"Someone, lock Princess Lin into the Sky Prison!" Without saying a word, Nangong Xiao suddenly made a move and issued an order.

"Father." Nangong Lin looked at Nangong Xiao in anger. Both of their deep eyes seemed to have a large amount of their own.

"Lin`er, Xi`er pushed the imperial concubine down and we saw it with our own eyes. The crime of murdering an imperial heir is not small at all." Nangong Xiao shifted her gaze to Yan Xiaoxi. Hearing his words, Yan Xiaoxi did not cry out in injustice, nor did she cry out. She did not even try to quibble about it as she quietly looked at Nangong Lin with eyes filled with disappointment.

Perhaps this was the result that Nangong Lin wanted to see.

Although Nangong Xiao did not support Nangong Lin's decision, for the sake of the Southern Water Country, he had no other choice.

Yan Xiaoxi was a good woman, if one had to blame something, they could only blame her for having a relationship with the Immortal Spirit Island.

He really couldn't afford to offend the Immortal Spirit Island.

"Today, no matter who it is, This King won't let you all understand a single hair on Xi Er's head." Even when facing the ruler of a country, his own father, Nangong Lin, was neither humble nor haughty. He did not have the slightest trace of fear in his expression.

"Lin'er." He had also seen many similar things. Based on his understanding of Yan Xiaoxi, she definitely would not have pushed Liu Zhixue.

Despite knowing that she had been framed, Nangong Xiao could not go back on her conscience and cruelly punish her.

"Father, this king will not say this a second time." Nangong Lin's gaze was cold as he looked coldly at Nangong Xiao.

"Forget it. You can bring Princess Lin away." In the end, Nangong Xiao compromised. He truly had no other choice for his son. Since he wanted to protect her, he would hand the matter over to him.

"Father, your son is unwilling." Nangong Zhen said indignantly. He never expected that Nangong Xiao would ignore the emperor's son that Yan Xiaoxi had harmed just because Nangong Lin had protected her, sparing a vicious woman.

If things reversed and Liu Zhixue had hurt the child in Yan Xiaoxi's womb, the outcome of the matter could be imagined. Liu Zhixue would have already been imprisoned and dealt with afterwards.

Now, his royal father's biased performance was unexpectedly perfect. Nangong Zhen was unwilling to accept this. Since young, which part of him was inferior to Nangong Lin and had his father always favored Nangong Lin?

"There's no need to discuss this further." With that, she turned and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded Imperial Concubine Xiao and the resentful Nangong Zhen.

Even though they were indignant, they could do nothing about it. After all, Nangong Xiao was the emperor and his words were an imperial edict that they could neither refute nor change.
