Yan Xiaoxi had heard the conversation of the other palace maids. The content of the conversation was to express her dissatisfaction with the Jade Pendant Palace Maiden.

Therefore, they all felt that the palace maid had a backer. They were right, the backer of the palace maid was the Liu Family.

The palace maid seemed to be the daughter who died prematurely as Liu Zhitian said. The reason he did so must be to let Yu Pi palace maid to inquire about the news in the palace and help the development of the Liu Family.

"The jade pendant can still be used, but the blood relation cannot be erased." As long as they were blood-related, they would know whether the two of them were sisters or not.

Liu Zhixue was stunned after hearing that. She looked towards Liu Zhitian's direction, clearly asking for help.

Liu Zhitian's reaction was rather calm. He was expressionless as he retorted: "Dripping a drop of blood is fine, but if Xue'er and the palace maid are not sisters, then this general wants Princess Lin's head as the price."

Liu Zhitian thought that this would make Yan Xiaoxi retreat in the face of difficulties. Unexpectedly, she agreed immediately. "Ok."

Yan Xiaoxi had never backed down when it came to certain things, and her performance once again shocked everyone.

This courage, this boldness, and this self-confidence, only a few people in the world could do it.

Nangong Lin, who was at the side, once again had a whole new level of respect for Yan Xiaoxi. He felt like he had married a treasure, this woman was like a hidden treasure, causing people to be curious and pry.

"Your majesty, please let us have the water and the dagger." Nangong Xiao looked at the Minister of Imperial Household beside him. He immediately took action.

Very quickly, the things Yan Xiaoxi ordered were placed before everyone's eyes.

"Please." Yan Xiaoxi smiled mockingly.

Liu Zhitian was out of breath. He really didn't expect Yan Xiaoxi's reaction. Under normal circumstances, even if they were extremely confident, no one would dare to bet their life on it.

Even if it was him, he wouldn't, but Yan Xiaoxi did.

Liu Zhixue and Liu Zhitian looked at each other. Since they had already reached this point, what else could they do?

"What are you doing?" Nangong Lin glanced at the palace maid. That cold gaze of his made the palace maid shiver uncontrollably.

Immediately, the palace maid made her move. Tuntun came to the center of the hall and picked up her dagger, preparing to cut her finger.

At this moment, Liu Zhixue suddenly shouted, "I remember now, you are Wu Fei's sister. You deliberately set me up."

Liu Zhixue was agitated. She rushed to the palace maid's side before anyone could react, shaking her body. While everyone was unprepared, she desperately blinked at the palace maid.

The palace maid didn't know what to do. She looked at the crazy Liu Zhixue before her and was completely stunned.

"Your brother adored me but was rejected by me. He committed suicide, so you came to avenge him." Liu Zhixue continued.

Hearing this, the palace maid finally understood what Liu Zhixue meant and said in realization, "What Miss Liu is saying, I don't know."

"Your majesty, you have to uphold justice for Xue'er. She's the one who framed me." Liu Zhixue plopped to her knees.

Nangong Xiao still hadn't figured out what exactly happened. Everything happened too suddenly.

Yan Xiaoxi stood where she was without interrupting and looked at Liu Zhixue as if she was watching a show. She wanted to see how Liu Zhixue would end the fight, get rid of the evidence, and at the same time satisfy everyone.

After that, Liu Zhixue told him how Wu Fei pestered him, harassed him, and followed her.

"So that's how it is. The palace maids poisoned Miss Liu because they wanted to avenge their brother. She also unintentionally picked up the jade pendant." After Liu Zhixue's farce, who would still remember the matter of the blood test?

Everyone's attention was attracted by her story. They had long thrown the bet between Liu Zhitian and Yan Xiaoxi out of the window.

"Your majesty, this old man can confirm that everything Xue'er said is true." Liu Zhitian seized the opportunity and quickly complied.

Even so, this reason was too far-fetched, and most of them still held doubts.

Liu Zhixue was also aware of this fact. Thus, she used the time when everyone was looking at Nangong Lin to signal the palace maid who was a few steps away with her lips.

The palace maid understood, and gripped the dagger in her hand as she thrust it towards Liu Zhixue.

Sssii.

Everyone heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into their flesh, and when they reacted, they found that the palace maid had stabbed into Liu Zhixue's body with a dagger.

Liu Zhixue lay on the ground, her body covered in blood.

"Xue'er." Liu Zhitian rushed over and struck the body of the palace maid with his palm. That palm used inner force and sent the palace maid flying. She crashed into a pillar in the hall and died on the spot.

"Doctor Xuan, hurry and announce the doctor." Liu Zhitian was so nervous that he forgot that the imperial physician was present at the scene early in the morning.

The imperial physician hurried forward to examine Liu Zhixue. After a careful examination, he looked at Liu Zhitian and said, "The stab is not deep. There's no danger to my life."

Hearing that, Liu Zhitian finally felt relieved.

"Your majesty, this humble subject needs a room to draw Miss Liu's sabre." The imperial physician clenched his hands into fists, giving Nangong Xiao a report.

Time like this was a crucial point. If he handled it well, Liu Zhixue would be able to keep her life. If he didn't handle it well, his life could be in danger at any time.

Under the current situation, he couldn't tell Liu Zhitian the truth. Otherwise, he would only receive more interference and influence.

At that time, Liu Zhixue might really lose too much blood and die.

Just like that, Liu Zhixue was heavily injured. She was carried out in front of everyone, and the palace maid was also beaten to death by Liu Zhitian. This matter had unknowingly shifted its focus, leaving it at that.

Yan Xiaoxi's only feeling towards the outcome of this matter was that it was finally over and she could finally eat.

As the banquet drew to a close, the ministers returned home, apprehensive.

It was already late, so Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin were temporarily staying in the palace.

In the corridor, Nangong Lin and Yan Xiaoxi walked side by side.

Yan Xiaoxi continued to eat the green bean cake in her hand, ignoring Nangong Lin, who was beside her, and didn't even glance at him.

Nangong Lin understood her meaning. He already knew Yan Xiaoxi's temperament very well. This woman must be angry.

He was usually lively and lively, chattering non-stop. Only when he was angry would he be so quiet.

"Woman." Nangong Lin shouted.

Yan Xiaoxi's reaction was as usual. She purposely ignored him and continued to eat her green bean cake.

Hmph, she wouldn't bother with him. Why would she follow him? Why don't you look at the old girl in her hand?

"Are you angry with This King?" This answer was already very clear.
