Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 531: Acknowledge or Not? (Fourth Update)

Xiao Lanxi's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

If I had done what I just said, I would have been panicked and confused. If I hadn't done it, I would have argued with them.

But she shouldn't be like this now, so calm and indifferent.

The eldest princess stared at her closely, with an invisible aura around her: "Is this all you want to say?"

The smile on Xiao Lanxi's face gradually faded.

When she doesn't smile, her beautiful face with particularly three-dimensional features appears somewhat aggressive.

It was quite different from her usual temperament.

She carefully combed her messy hair and slowly stood up.

Upon seeing this, the guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded her!

Xiao Lanxi seemed unaware of it. She lowered her head to brush off the dust on her dress before looking up again.

"At this moment, will you still believe what I say?"

The princess narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you can provide evidence to refute it, I will naturally believe it."

Xiao Lanxi didn't say anything.

After a moment, she tilted her head slightly and stretched out her hand, as if with a hint of curiosity or provocation:
"Now, are we going to the Ministry of Justice?"

It is hard not to believe such an attitude!

Everyone had different expressions, but there was more or less confusion in their eyes.

Xiao Lanxi...why would she react like this?

When the truth came to light, she wasn't afraid at all?
Not even a trace of guilty conscience!
Her behavior really angered the eldest princess.

"Since you admit it, then——"

"Princess." Ye Chutang suddenly interrupted her softly, "Before you deal with it, I have a few words to ask her, is that okay?"

The princess suppressed her anger and looked into those clear and gentle eyes. She instantly became much more sober.

She nodded: "Okay, just ask."

Ye Chutang thanked him and then looked at Xiao Lanxi.

Ye Chutang asked calmly, "Princess Yuhe seems to have a deep grudge against me?"

Xiao Lanxi didn't look at her or speak.

Ye Chutang didn't mind her like this, and thought for a moment: "To be honest, there is no deep hatred between the princess and me. Although you asked me to treat Jiang Cairen before, I refused on the spot, which may make you complain, but it doesn't seem to make you want to kill me like this?"

As he spoke, Ye Chutang's eyes swept over the people around him.

"Rumors, slander, assassinations, they are all linked together. If I had worse luck, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. I'm really curious, what is it about me that is worth you going to so much trouble to plan?"

At this point, anyone can see that Xiao Lanxi has no feelings for Jiang Qingmei and Xiao Chengxuan.

She even harbored a deep hatred for them!
Therefore, her desire to kill Ye Chutang had nothing to do with those two people.

This is even stranger.

After all, Ye Chutang had treated her and treated her health before.

No matter how she thought about it, she had no reason to kill Ye Chutang.

Xiao Lanxi finally looked at Ye Chutang.

She gave an innocent smile.

"You are not a very likable person."

Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "Just because of this?"

Xiao Lanxi asked back, "Isn't that enough?" She tucked her hair behind her ears and spoke slowly, "In this world, you don't need a reason to bully someone. So, of course, you don't need a reason to kill someone. It's such a simple truth, Miss Ye Er, you are so smart, can't you figure it out?"

When she spoke, her expression was natural and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her words.

That's what she thought.

Ye Chutang looked at her quietly, and suddenly said, "I really can't figure it out. I only know to repay grievances and revenge. Whoever bullied me, I will remember it clearly and repay it in full. But I will never transfer my hatred to others, and I will not try every means to vent my anger."

Xiao Lanxi's expression suddenly froze.

I don't know what she was thinking about, but her expression became particularly ugly, and her previous obedience and calmness became distorted.

She stared at Ye Chutang intently, with undisguised hatred in her eyes.

"What qualifications do you have to tell me this? It's not your turn to comment on what I do or don't do!"

Ye Chutang chuckled: "I have no interest in interfering in other people's business, but Princess Yuhe, you have come to kill me, don't I even have the right to ask a question?"

The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved up slightly in a playful arc.

"Although I have a good temper, I don't have the habit of being bullied."

Xiao Lanxi clenched her teeth.

Every time she met Ye Chutang, every time she saw that face, she found it difficult to calm down.

She suddenly sneered.

"Miss Ye, what are you worried about? You are valued by your father and the eldest princess, and you are protected by the Black Cavalry day and night. Everything is so easy to get. Who can hurt you?"

Although she smiled, she could not hide the jealousy in her voice.

A light suddenly flashed through Ye Chutang's mind.

A guess suddenly emerged in her mind.

Everything seemed to have an explanation, but it was also very outrageous.

"you……"

Ye Chutang considered it and was about to speak, but he felt something was wrong.

Ye Chutang glanced at Xiao Chengxuan, his eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately changed the subject.

"So, you admit that you sent Zhou Kangxue and Wu Laosi? Do you admit the matter of the jade pendant?"

Everyone was shocked!
Compared to the previous charges, this last question is actually the most crucial one!
Collaboration with the enemy and treason is a capital crime!
If those Nanhu assassins were really arranged by Xiao Lanxi, it means that her return to Beijing was a conspiracy!
Who knows when she colluded with the Southern Hu people? And how much she did!
Xiao Lanxi was obviously asked the question that she was most reluctant to answer, and her pale lips were tightly closed.

"Of course it's her! It must be her!" Xiao Chengxuan was the first to lose control and cursed loudly, "I was framed by her! I want to see my father! These charges have nothing to do with me! I was wronged!"

He had made mistakes and done a lot of absurd things, and many of his crimes were proven.

But he will never admit to something he didn't do!

However, Xiao Lanxi refused to speak again.

She remained in that position and didn't say another word.

It seemed as if he admitted it, but also as if he didn't.

The princess took a deep breath.

"Chu Tang, there's no need to ask any more questions. Just let them handle these matters. I will give you an answer in the end as to right and wrong. As for her——"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Yi suddenly hurried in, unable to hide the joy on her face.

"Your Majesty has woken up! Go check it out!"

The princess was surprised and delighted, she stood up and said, "Really?!"

Lan Yi smiled and said hurriedly, "Of course it's true! The Prince's Envoy also asked Miss Ye to go over quickly and take His Majesty's pulse!"
