Yan Xiaoxi's words made sense, but the person in question had pointed her in the right direction. What was the point in saying all this now? It was just a sophistry.

"Maybe this is Princess Lin's cleverness." Liu Zhixue saw the opportunity, every sentence to Yan Xiaoxi in danger.

"Is that so? "Then please tell this consort how this consort poisoned the poison. Didn't you see it?

Liu Zhixue fell silent. She couldn't tell them how Yan Xiaoxi poisoned the poison. She couldn't say how many things she said and how many mistakes she made. In the end, it would only harm her.

"Miss Liu doesn't know?" "Alright, then let me tell you." No one present knew what Yan Xiaoxi was capable of.

Her firm gaze shifted to the direction of the crown prince.

The ministers followed her line of sight. Everyone held their breath as they stared at Nangong Zhen. They couldn't help but be suspicious. Could it be that this matter was related to the crown prince?

Yan Xiaoxi pointed out her finger, but the person he was referring to was not Nangong Zhen. Instead, it was the person standing beside Nangong Zhen. "The murderer is her."

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. There was a woman standing beside Nangong Zhen. She was wearing a pink palace dress with a white gauze covering it, revealing a beautiful curve of her neck and clearly visible collarbone.

Her hair was tied up with a ribbon, and a butterfly hairpin was stuck in her hair. A strand of hair fell onto her chest, and a thin layer of makeup accentuated the beauty of her beautiful face.

The faint blush on her cheeks gave off a delicate, petal-like feeling. She was like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, yet also like clear ice and snow. At a glance, she gave off a refined aura.

Her limpid eyes were like that of a wounded fawn as she quickly retreated. She froze on the spot, obviously frightened by Yan Xiaoxi's words.

"What is Princess Lin saying? How is this related to chenqie? " The woman quickly regained her composure and calmly responded.

"Yes?" "How could Crown Princess have done this?"

"Princess Lin can't simply accuse someone unjustly."

"Crown Princess is gentle and kind. She can't even bear to trample an ant to death. How could she possibly hurt someone?"

One after another, doubts flew towards Yan Xiaoxi like a tide.

Not only did the officials present feel that Yan Xiaoxi was lying, even Nangong Zhen felt that it was laughable. Could this woman have been pushed too far and was in a desperate situation?

He was now in a sorry state. He felt like a completely different person from the Yan Xiaoxi who had dealt with him at first hand.

However, that was to be expected. Yan Xiaoxi had always been a fickle person, and her initial impression of her was innocent and silly. After gaining a deeper understanding of her, she felt that this woman was simply pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

And now, she was giving everyone a vicious and jealous appearance.

"How could Crown Princess harm Miss Liu? She has no motive at all." Although the palace had always been full of schemes and scheming, deceit, and Nangong Zhen had been used to these kinds of tricks since he was young, he didn't believe that this was done by his own Crown Princess.

"Motivation, she has." Since Yan Xiaoxi had pointed it out to Crown Princess, she was naturally fully prepared.

"I wonder what my motive is?" Crown Princess herself was baffled by this point.

Wasn't this the love and hatred between Nangong Lin, Yan Xiaoxi, and Liu Zhixue?

Everything was fine, why did it involve him?

It was really too strange!

"Because the Crown Prince wants to take Liu Zhixue as his secondary wife, you are afraid of shaking your position." That's right, Yan Xiaoxi had overheard the discussion between the palace maids while she was eating.

What?

Crown Princess's expression changed drastically when she heard that. She looked at Nangong Zhen in surprise.

That incredulous and doubtful expression, as if he really did not know about this matter.

However, Nangong Zhen surprisingly did not immediately retort. His silence already indirectly admitted this fact.

At this moment, even the other party didn't say a word. It seemed to be true.

Liu Zhixue was Liu Zhitian's only daughter, and had grown up with her halo. She had relied on her outstanding talent to become famous in the Nanshui Kingdom when she was young, and later on, by dancing with Qingcheng, she was the dream goddess of every man.

However, it was a pity that she had been engaged to Nangong Lin since she was young. Unfortunately, later on, the two of them were not together.

This matter gave everyone hope once again. Of course, Nangong Zhen was also included.

In public, in private with Liu Zhitian's power in the court, Liu Zhixue was too old to be married, but she did look good, so it made sense for Nangong Zhen to want to marry her.

"This crown prince does have such intentions, but what does this have to do with Miss Liu's poisoning?" After a moment of silence, Nangong Zhen immediately started to fight back.

"Of course." Yan Xiaoxi smiled and looked at Crown Princess with her sharp eyes.

Crown Princess frowned slightly at Yan Xiaoxi's probing gaze. She still couldn't figure out what she was planning to do.

"What the hell is going on?" A certain official could not help but ask.

This matter had repeated itself over and over again, and had aroused the curiosity of the crowd.

Originally, everyone thought that Yan Xiaoxi was the culprit, but the matter was settled. Who would have known that there was such a hidden mystery behind it? It was like a bottomless pit, sinking deeper and deeper into its depths.

Everyone should think about it, the crown prince had been married to Crown Princess for a long time, but has yet to get married to Miss Liu. At this time, the crown prince wants to marry Miss Liu as his secondary wife, not to mention other people, but the beautiful and talented Miss Liu. Firstly, she is beautiful, and secondly, General Liu can help the crown prince in the court. Yan Xiaoxi didn't finish the rest of her sentence. Instead, she left everyone with room to imagine.

"But, why did Miss Liu say that it was Princess Lin who poisoned him?" Crown Princess didn't allow herself to be outdone and raised her doubts.

This banquet was prepared by you personally, we all eat the same food, why is everyone fine, only Miss Liu is poisoned, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, this Concubine has never had the chance to poison Miss Liu before the crown prince resolved the matter of Linlin's conspiracy, and this Consort did not know what caused Miss Liu to misunderstand, making her think that I was the one who harmed her. As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers nodded their heads in agreement.

Crown Princess smiled faintly, her expression the same as before. However, she felt that it was extremely ridiculous.

She had seen people who could talk and argue, but she had never seen someone who could twist the truth and speak nonsense like Yan Xiaoxi.

However, she wasn't someone that was easily bullied.

"Oh, I would like to consult Princess Lin. How did I manage to avoid being poisoned by the crowd and cause Miss Liu to be poisoned by the poison alone?" This was indeed the crux of the matter. Who was it that poisoned Liu Zhixue in front of everyone's eyes?

Yan Xiaoxi frowned, but her expression remained as calm as ever.

Her gaze was deep, causing others to be unable to see through her thoughts.

Nangong Lin had been standing quietly to the side, his gaze never leaving Yan Xiaoxi.

"Everyone, please look here." With that, Yan Xiaoxi pointed at the food on Liu Zhixue's table.
