C39 Sharp-edge appearance

"Your Majesty, can this commoner ask her a few questions?" Tang Kexin suddenly turned around. Her voice was very gentle, and her expression was very indifferent as well. It was hard to tell how she was feeling.

"Yes, of course. If you have any questions, just ask." The emperor was slightly puzzled. He could ask her any question she wanted, but there was no need to ask for his permission.

"When I ask her questions, I hope that no matter what she asks, no one will disturb me, no one will be allowed to speak, no one will be allowed to make any noise, and no one will be allowed to make any influential actions." The smile on Tang Ke's face had already completely disappeared. He had an extremely serious expression.

"Alright, I promise you." The Emperor frowned slightly, his deep eyes becoming even more puzzled. What kind of question would require so much seriousness?

However, at this moment, even the Emperor's curiosity was piqued. He really wanted to know what question Tang Ke wanted to ask, so he repeatedly promised her.

Everyone had a face full of curiosity, and even Ye Lanjue's eyes had a strange look in them.

The court lady kneeling on the ground heard Tang Kexin's words and saw that Tang Kexin's face was solemn. Her body slowly stiffened as her hands hidden under her sleeves subconsciously tightened. Her palms were already wet with sweat.

Tang Kexin's seriousness made her frightened and even frightened. She already felt pressure within her heart and her heart tightened.

"Xin Er, what do you want to ask to be so serious?" The smile on Imperial Concubine Ming's beautiful face wavered, and her gentle voice sounded very familiar.

Senior Concubine Ming, Old General Li's beloved daughter, Li Mingzhu. When Old General Li went to war with the late emperor, he was born in a dangerous situation, and he even saved the late emperor's life. His prestige in the imperial court was extremely high, and his influence was extremely great.

Old General Li received his daughter in his later years and treated her like a pearl in his palm. As such, he named her Li Mingzhu. Li Mingzhu entered the palace eight years ago and was directly conferred the title of Imperial Consort.

Someone once guessed that if Li Mingzhu was born ten years earlier, the position of Empress would have definitely belonged to her.

Of course, there were those who didn't agree with this point of view. Empress Mu Wanqing was the daughter of Tutor Mu, and at that time, Tutor Mu had no military power and didn't have much influence in the court. Back then, although Old General Li didn't have a daughter, there were countless of important officials and officials in the court who had a daughter.

But the emperor insisted on marrying Mu Wanqing. Moreover, he directly married her in the manner of an empress, and once he married into the palace, he would become an empress.

At that time, many people could not understand why the Emperor, who had just ascended to the throne and was unstable in everything, would make such a decision.

"Just now, the emperor promised this commoner that he wouldn't allow anyone to disturb him. Didn't Imperial Concubine Ming hear that?" Tang Ke Xin looked at her. His eyes blinked, then blinked again. His expression was innocent and confused.

The corner of Ye Lan Chen's mouth twitched. He really had trained his ability to play the pig to eat the tiger to his heart's content.

The corner of Ye Lanji's eyebrows slightly raised.

The smile on Imperial Concubine Ming's face froze, and her expression slightly changed. The corner of her lips moved, but she did not say another word.

In this situation, the others naturally wouldn't say anything.

The emperor didn't say anything either, only lightly pulling at the corner of his lips.

Tang Ke looked at Imperial Concubine Ming and smiled. That smile was very pure and very sincere.

In the eyes of Imperial Concubine Ming, however, it was very hateful.

Imperial Concubine Ming's face was clearly somewhat gloomy.

Tang Kexin ignored her and directly turned to the palace maid that had just framed her, asking in an extremely casual tone. "What's your name?"

"Your servant, your servant's name is Xiao Cui." The palace maid stared blankly, not expecting the solemn Tang Kexin to only ask her this question. She didn't even stammer when she answered the emperor's question. She actually stammered when she answered such a simple question.

"En, Xiao Cui, not bad." Tang Kexin nodded her head seriously.

Xiao Cui was stupefied, and looked at Tang Ke Xin with eyes full of astonishment. She didn't understand what she meant.

Of course, the crowd was even more confused. What did Tang Ke mean by 'not bad'? He just felt that although this fool had recovered from his illness, he was still messing around.

"Where did you find the body?" Tang Ke's heart skipped a beat before he asked again. These words contained a hint of mysteriousness.

"?" Xiao Cui paused for a moment, but then said: "I just passed by the fake mountain and saw Miss Tang use a stone to smash at the autumn chrysanthemum."

Tang Ke laughed inwardly. 'Not bad! My mental fortitude is not bad. My reaction is also quick. This is great!'

"Which palace are you from?" Tang Kexin's red lips parted slightly, but her question was even more casual.

"This servant is from Lian Yi Yuan." Xiao Cui's eyes flashed, she was obviously surprised by the question, but she replied fluently.

"Where are you going on such a hot day?" Tang Kexin continued to ask the second question.

"Noble Lian sent a servant to fetch some ice to relieve the heat." Xiao Cui replied repeatedly, but she was even more confused, she was so serious just now, and now she was just asking her such a question?

"Do you know the deceased?" The third question, Tang Kexin's words were even more light and casual.

"Yes, she is Autumn Flower." Xiao Cui's answer became much easier, a question like that was obviously not a problem at all.

Tang Kexin had asked a total of three questions, all of which were extremely simple. Moreover, the last question was related to this matter, but it was just a trivial and insignificant one.

"Which palace are you from?" Then, Tang Kexin asked the first question.

"This servant is from Lian Yi Yuan." Xiao Cui thought that she had forgotten, so she asked again, but she replied quickly.

"Where are you going on such a hot day?" Tang Kexin's second question was still repeated.

"Noble Lian sent a servant to fetch some ice to relieve the heat." Xiao Cui was startled, and continued to answer.

"Do you know the deceased?" Tang Kexin's third question was still the same.

"Yes, her name is Qiuju." At the moment, Xiao Cui had already relaxed, her heart filled with contempt.

Although Xiao Cui's face didn't change, and her voice didn't, Tang Ke Xin could clearly hear her change.

That was what she wanted.

Just now, she had asked the Emperor to promise her that he wouldn't allow anyone to disturb her when she asked her questions. This was very important. That process really couldn't be disturbed. Of course, at the same time, she was deliberately putting on a solemn air.

At first, Xiao Cui was definitely very nervous, especially on guard, but after hearing her repeated questions, she would lower her guard and unconsciously relax.

In a situation where a person was extremely nervous and vigilant, once they relaxed, they would be especially relaxed. The disdain and contempt they had for others would only grow stronger and stronger.

One of these problems is that the stronger the drop, the more obvious the rise and fall of the mood.

Xiao Cui was no longer taking her seriously, she probably already treated her like a fool.

Tang Ke laughed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask her the same question. After asking her three questions twice, he repeated them a third time, but the same question did not change in the slightest.

But, her speed of questioning had unconsciously increased. Xiao Cui's reaction speed was indeed strong, Tang Ke asked quickly, and she answered very quickly.

Tang Ke's question was the same, and Xiao Cui's answer was the same.

Everyone heard Tang Kexin's repeated questions and felt a little dizzy. However, they were even more confused. Just what was Tang Kexin trying to do?

Could it be that her illness had not completely recovered and she had become stupid again, so she kept asking these simple questions?

However, since the Emperor had already spoken, and since there was an example of Imperial Consort Ming from before, no one dared to disturb Tang Kexin at this moment.

Night Tide's gaze turned to Tang Kexin, but it became increasingly profound.

Tang Kexin asked the question a third time, then a fourth. It was still the same question, but the speed at which the question was being asked was still unknowingly increasing.

Xiao Cui's reply speed also unconsciously sped up, synchronizing with her.

"Which palace are you from?"

"This servant is from Lian Yi Yuan."

"Where are you going on such a hot day?"

"Noble Lian sent a servant to fetch some ice to relieve the heat."

"Do you know the deceased?"

"Yes, she is Autumn Flower."

"Who killed the chrysanthemum?" After the fourth time, Tang Ke's heart suddenly changed. However, his tone was still as casual and natural as before, completely unaffected.

"This servant doesn't know, this servant didn't see ?" Xiao Cui had long since lost all her defenses, and at this moment, under such a speed of speech, Tang Kexin used the same natural and casual tone and suddenly changed the question. She had no time to react at all, and without even thinking about it, she could only instinctively blurt it out.

Of course, in a situation like this where she was completely unprepared and had no time to react, what she said was absolutely the truth.

This was because Tang Kexin didn't give her any room to compose lies.

Everyone was shocked, and sounds of breathing could be heard. However, no one spoke. The entire world seemed to be quiet.
