The princess didn't speak for a long time. Everyone was so busy watching Concubine Su being splashed with blood that they almost forgot about her.

Hearing her voice now, he turned around and realized that she had unexpectedly rescued Taoist Master Jingxu at some point.

"Doesn't the Taoist Priest have something to say to the prince? Come on and say it!" Chu Zhao held the silver needle in his hand and looked at Taoist Priest Jingxu who was burned to black charcoal with a half-smile.

The silver needle sparkled in the sun, and Taoist Master Jingxu shuddered violently.

He had been stabbed with more than a dozen needles by Chu Zhao just now, and the needles penetrated deep into his bones, so that now he was frightened when he saw the needles.

"Your Majesty," he cried and crawled towards Murong Xiao, "Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have realized my mistake. The Princess is not possessed by evil spirits. I took advantage of the big manager and deliberately framed the Princess."

boom!

The successive reversals shocked everyone present, and the surroundings exploded instantly.

Su Nuanyu was so frightened that she stopped crying. Her eyes flickered between the chief steward and Taoist Jingxu in panic, while she quickly thought of ways to protect herself.

Amidst the buzzing discussion, the chief steward knelt on the ground with a plop.

"My lord, I am wronged. What I paid to the Taoist priest was to exorcise evil spirits, but he said it was a favor fee. Isn't this a slander?"

"How come I'm the one who slanders others?" Taoist Master Jingxu was forced by Chu Zhao's silver needle to expose himself, "I'm not a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain at all, I'm just a deceiver. It was you who gave me 1000 taels." , asked me to prove that the princess was possessed by an evil spirit, and said that if I could burn the princess to death, I would be given double the reward."

"What, you're actually lying?" The old lady lost her voice, "You've been making trouble for a long time, but you don't know how to catch monsters?"

"Oh my god, this Taoist priest is actually a fake."

"Yes, yes, it turns out that all of us were fooled by this fake nose."

The servants started talking noisily again.

"Quiet!" Murong Xiao shouted, his face as dark as Chu Zhao and Taoist Master Jingxu who was burned by the fire.

This series of reversals not only made him angry, but also made him feel humiliated.

He, the majestic King Jingnan, the dominant overlord, was actually fooled around by a few villains. For him, it was simply a great shame and humiliation!

When the servants saw that the prince was angry, they were all frightened into silence.

Taoist Jingxu and the chief steward also stopped dog-eating dogs.

Murong Xiao looked at the chief steward, and his voice was as cold as an ice knife: "I don't have the patience to listen to your grievances. If you take it seriously, I will spare the lives of your whole family for the sake of your hard work for the house. You If you refuse to admit your fault and keep arguing, your whole family will die with you!"

Under his sharp gaze like a falcon, the chief steward did not dare to refute, and glanced at Su Nuanyu from the corner of his eye.

Su Nuanyu felt the chief steward's gaze and became so nervous that her whole body stiffened. Fortunately, her face was covered in dog blood and no one else could see anything strange about her.

After a moment of silence, the chief steward no longer resisted and took the initiative to confess the crime.

"It was me. I was slapped in the face by the princess in public, so I held a grudge and deliberately killed those people and spread rumors. I encouraged the prince and the old lady to invite Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits, so that I could take the opportunity to burn the princess to death to avenge myself."

"That's it, you despicable and shameless villain!" Su Nuanyu took a step forward and said with righteous indignation, "My lord, this slave dog is so vicious. The princess just slapped him, but he actually killed several people in a row just to vent his anger. For playing with all of us, the prince should immediately chop off his head as a warning to others."

"You're right, this slave dog really deserves to be killed!"

The old lady was also very angry, with a big finger in charge, and a look of pain on her face.

"Li Shouyi, your Li family has been loyal servants of my family for generations. Your grandfather blocked the sword for the old prince, and your father also dedicated his life to the prince's palace. The prince and I trust you, so we entrust you with such an important task. You, If you behave like this, how can you face your ancestors in the future?"

The chief steward bowed his head to the ground and kowtowed several times to the old lady and Murong Xiao.

"Li Shouyi has betrayed the trust of the old lady and the prince. I beg the prince to grant me a death."

Murong Xiao's face was livid, and he waved to Beiyuan for a long sword. The tip of the sword was pointed directly at the chief steward's throat: "I remember your Li family's loyalty for generations, so I will personally send you on your way today!"

"Wait a moment!"

Chu Zhao suddenly shouted and stepped forward to stop Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao felt irritable. Although he already knew that Chu Zhao was wronged, he still disliked her. He held his sword and frowned: "What do you want?"

Chu Zhao ignored his attitude, pointed at the chief steward and said: "I don't believe that a slap in the face is worth the risk of killing so many people to frame me. Also, this man is about to die, but he still doesn't change his expression. , I’m afraid he’s not wearing a human skin mask.”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar again.

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the chief steward rushed forward, grabbed the sword in his hand and cut his own throat.

Blood spurted out from his throat. The chief steward let go of his hand, lay face down on the ground and stopped breathing.

Everyone exclaimed again and again.

Murong Xiao's eyes were spitting fire, he raised his foot and kicked the steward over, and the tip of his sword pierced his face.

A finely crafted human skin mask was picked out, and under the mask was the face of a young man.

The scene exploded again.

"Oh my God, the princess was right. This man is a fake."

"Who is he, the chief steward? The chief steward will not be killed by him, right?"

"Who ordered him to sneak into our house?"

"It's so terrible that such a villain is hiding around us and we didn't even notice it!"

The servants were all talking and talking.

Su Nuanyu was so panicked that she clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

This was the most powerful helper her father gave her, but she didn't expect that she would die in Chu Zhao's hands in the end.

Chu Zhao, this damn bitch, how could it be that after she died, it was like her eyes were opened, and nothing could escape her eyes?

Does she know that the chief steward is hers?

Next, is she going to expose her?

How to do how to do?

Su Nuanyu took advantage of everyone's attention being on the big steward, covered her heart and took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

No, she couldn't be in a hurry.

If you are anxious, you will get into trouble.

She wanted to fight back, she couldn't be led by Chu Zhao like this.

Anyway, the chief steward is dead and she has been grounded. She has not personally participated in the matter of inviting the Taoist priest. As long as she does not admit it, no one can do anything to her.

Taoist priest?

Yes, Taoist!

Su Nuanyu's eyes lit up and she looked sharply at the Taoist priest named Xie Chengfeng.

"My lord, I suddenly thought that if Taoist Master Jingxu is fake, then as his disciple, this little Taoist priest must also be fake, right?"

what?

After being reminded like this, everyone looked at Xie Chengfeng in unison.

Su Nuanyu then said: "Since Taoist Jingxu framed the princess with the order of the chief steward, I would also like to ask who gave the order. The little Taoist priest grabbed me randomly and even splashed me with dog blood. of?"

Right!

Everyone felt that it made sense. Since the master was fake, the apprentice must also be fake. One of them framed the princess and the other framed the concubine. They couldn't have been ordered by the chief steward. Then who was the other person?

"Your Majesty, if you seek justice for the princess, you must also seek justice for me!" Su Nuanyu cried and pulled Murong Xiao's hand.

Murong Xiao hurriedly put his hands behind his back and took a step to the side to avoid the bloody mess on her body. To prevent her from pulling her again, he shouted in a deep voice: "Xie Chengfeng, why don't you get it right?"

Chu Zhao looked at Murong Xiao's expression of hiding from the god of plague and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

She put her hand on her lips to suppress her smile and turned to look at Xie Chengfeng.

Xie Chengfeng was still as calm and magnanimous as ever. He saluted Murong Xiao and said "Infinite Heavenly Lord", then he took something out of his arms and presented it with both hands.
