Since Wu Shi powder was found on the little palace maid, then she just attacked Zhao Ruo for no reason. She thought it must be because she became unconscious after taking Wu Shi powder and suddenly went mad.

In this way, Zhao Ling's suspicion of being a witch was naturally cleared.

So, they had failed in their bitter plot. Was this hairpin a waste? Zhao Ruo saw that Zhao Ling had solved the situation she had planned for so long so easily, and became angry inwardly.

She was really unwilling to let it go, but had to accept the obvious fact. Everyone was protecting Zhao Ling, even the emperor seemed to protect her, not to mention King Xuan. She was so well protected that she was really envious. 

A sign of Jealousy and hate.

Seeing that Zhao Ling easily got out of trouble, and seeing Meng Yuan taking care of her in every possible way, the Anping County Master felt as if she had overturned the five-flavor bottle, only to find that inside was sour and astringent.

Angrily, she said. "Your majesty, King Xuan encountered assassins on the way back to Sheijing. During the interrogation of the assassins, Miss Zhao just glanced at the assassins, and the assassins knew that they had everything to say and confessed everything to her. Wasn't this a demon technique?"

Meng Tianluo was panicking for a moment when he heard Anping County Master's words. The killers of Shadowless Gate were not easy to hire. It took a lot of money and energy to organize the last attempted assassination of Meng Yuan, but who knew that Meng Yuan, a cripple, would easily get out of trouble.

It was just that Meng Yuan hadn't made any mention of the incident all this while. So, Meng Tianluo, originally thought that this matter was unknown, but now, it sounded like those assassins have confessed, so Meng Yuan will find out about him sooner or later.

It seemed that his plan had to be stepped up.

Emperor Ming was skeptical. "How can such a thing happen in this world?"

Zhao Ruo even climbed forward and tried her best to agree. "Your Majesty, what the Anping County Master said is absolutely true, there is such a thing, the concubine is willing to guarantee her life."

After a pause, she felt as if her life was not enough. She suddenly felt blessed. She glanced at Eunuch Li next to Emperor Ming, and said eagerly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Eunuch Li. When he returned to Sheijing last time, Eunuch Li walked with King Xuan all the way, and he must have witnessed it with his own eyes."

Seeing what Zhao Ruo said with certainty, Emperor Ming turned his head to look at Eunuch Li and asked, "Li Yuan, is there any such thing?"

Eunuch Li fell to his knees with a thud, really wishing that a crack would suddenly appear on the ground, so that he could get in and not have to face such an embarrassing situation again.

King Xuan's warning was still in his ears, but he couldn't bear the crime of deceiving the king. Why... why should it be him?

Eunuch Li was sweating on his forehead and trembling all over his body. He had lost his usual eloquence and could not speak well. "Returning to the emperor, it's true... that's true. No matter how severely the assassins were tortured that day. They wouldn't say who ordered them to die, but the future Princess Xuan only looked at the assassin a few times, and the assassin told her the truth."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Yuan, whose face was ashen, from the corner of his eyes, and instantly lowered his head between his legs, his entire body shaking visibly.

King Xuan was not easy to mess with.

When everyone heard what Zhao Ruo said just now, they didn't fully believe it. Just because they have heard that the two sisters had always been at odds, naturally they would not say anything good towards each other. But now even Eunuch Li had confirmed it, so this was actually true!

There were exclamations around, and even the faces of Ning Hua and Fu Yuechan were faintly frightened.

Just after a few glances from her, she would be controlled by her. What kind of terrible sorcery is this?

This girl from the Zhao family was actually so evil. Emperor Ming couldn't hold his face for a while, and angrily asked Zhao Ling: "Zhao family girl, what do you have to say?"

Zhao Ling's face was as usual, and she knelt down to Emperor Ming calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Imperial emperor, just as Eunuch Li said just now, the assassin was very stubborn that day, and the minister's daughter was worried about King Xuan's safety and had to use it as a last resort. The illumination technique, not demon technique. This technique of illumination is one of the pupil techniques, and it is a means of interrogating prisoners. This technique has been in existence since ancient times, and it is not a sorcery. Please, I ask the emperor to see it clearly."

This was the response Meng Yuan had prepared for her since the last interrogation of the assassin, just in case. He didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

Illumination technique? Although Emperor Ming had never heard of it, but after hearing what Zhao Ling said, he couldn't say so. If he denied it, it would seem that he was very ignorant of his historical events, so he pretended to be deep and said: "Even if this pupil technique has existed since ancient times, you are a daughter who has lived in a confined courtyard for a long time. How did the lady learn this technique?"

Zhao Ling had expected such a question, and still responded calmly. "There are many ancient books in Bishan Academy. When I went to Suzhou last time to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, I accidentally turned to an ancient book in the academy, and it happened to contain this technique. Out of curiosity, this minister's daughter learned some from the ancient book."

With a century-old history of Bishan Academy, one or two ancient books were naturally normal, and this girl from the Zhao family was smart and talented, and it was reasonable to say that she could learn this special technique.

Looking at Meng Yuan's face, Emperor Ming was trying to calm down and make matters smaller, but was interrupted by a cold snort from Princess Zhaoren.
