Concubine De struggled like a madman, her ten fingers like claws, trying to pounce on Jiang Xue!

Yue Tao, who was originally supporting Concubine De, pretended to pull her at the Queen's suggestion, then let go and let the crazy woman rush over.

Xiaochun was quick-witted and quick-handed. Together with Tieyi, she held Defei on both sides, preventing her from getting close to Jiang Xue!

"I can understand that Her Majesty Defei lost control of her emotions after losing her beloved daughter. But I still have to remind Her Majesty to be careful about her words and actions. Don't bite people like a mad dog and lose your status."

Xiao Zhan carefully protected Jiang Xue behind him and winked at Tieyi, asking him to move the person away.

"My Lady Defei, everyone saw what happened just now clearly. The Fifth Princess suddenly attacked Changle, intending to kill her! If Changle hadn't dodged and let her pounce on her, I'm afraid I would be one of the charred corpses lying on the ground now.

It was the Fifth Princess who wanted to kill me first, but now the Queen and the Empress say that Changle killed the Fifth Princess. Do you think they will believe this kind of confusing right and wrong when I tell it to the adults present?" Jiang Xue said coldly.

"Come to think of it, the Fifth Princess has been behaving strangely since she entered the venue." Ye Zhaoyi recalled how Xiao Min was unusually quiet when he first arrived.

"Empress Zhaoyi is very observant. Changle has just found some clues about the Fifth Princess' abnormality."

Following Ye Zhaoyi's words, Jiang Xue had Bai Prajna brought up.

"Who is this?"

Emperor Bei Ling looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground.

Her hair was disheveled, she was wearing a servant's attire, and she had her head lowered, so her face could not be seen clearly.

"Your Majesty, ever since the fifth princess came in, this woman's behavior has been very strange. Changle sent Fudong to investigate, and indeed, he found the problem." As he spoke, Jiang Xue lifted Bai Prajna's right hand, with her palm facing outwards, and showed it to everyone.

The densely packed curse marks on the pads of the five fingers made one's scalp tingle.

"Your Majesty, you are proficient in Taoism and have profound attainments in some strange spells. You should be able to tell that the curse seal on this woman's hand is Xiyong's famous puppetry."

Emperor Bei Ling was keen on pursuing immortality and was indeed familiar with some strange formations and spells.

He had heard a little about puppetry and knew that what Jiang Xue said was true.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that my Xiao Min is controlled by this evil magic?"

De Fei's eyes widened in disbelief. What a joke! What puppetry! This is all this woman's excuse! She was the one who killed her Xiao Min! She even dared to blame it on the evil magic!

"Madam Defei is right. The Fifth Princess was indeed controlled by the puppet technique, which is why she became so crazy! Everyone, think back. The Fifth Princess was so fast just now that even His Royal Highness Prince Duan, who is skilled in martial arts, had his face scratched by her.

How could a princess who usually lives a life of luxury behave so abnormally if she wasn't controlled by puppetry?"

"Changle, you just picked someone out and said she was the murderer of the fifth princess. Isn't that too hasty? I think you cast this evil spell on the fifth princess yourself. In order to escape the blame, you found a scapegoat!"

The Queen was determined to use Xiao Min's death to drag Jiang Xue into the water. Who let this bitch plot against Xiao Li and her power?

"Pull casually? Ha, Queen, do you think Changle and you are birds of a feather?"

This sentence was full of irony. Jiang Xue sneered and glanced at Bai Prajna who was kneeling on the ground: "If the Queen doesn't believe Changle, you might as well ask this girl in person to see if she cast the puppet technique."

Feeling Jiang Xue's sharp gaze, Bai Prajna's back trembled, and she lowered her head and replied: "Your Highness the Fifth Princess is indeed being controlled by my puppetry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

A suffocating silence enveloped the entire place. Emperor Bei Ling, the Queen, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, and Jiang Xue all focused their eyes on Bai Prajna for a long time.

"Why do you want to control the fifth princess?"

After a while, Emperor Bei Ling asked indifferently.

Bai Prajna just turned around and looked back.

Jun Li's heart suddenly tightened!

Is this woman going to betray him?

He clenched his teeth, murderous intent surging!

In his palm, the hidden weapon coated with poison was ready to go. Jun Li made up his mind that if this woman dared to say a word, he would kill her immediately!

"Your Majesty, I was forced to do this!"

With his head lowered and close to the ground, Bai Prajna's voice was hoarse and full of despair.

"Who forced you?" Emperor Bei Ling had completely lost his patience, and a chilling aura of death emanated from his body!

Dare to hurt his beloved daughter! No matter who it is, he will not let it go!

"It's Your Highness!"

The hand with black nails pointed back at Xiao Yan who was wearing an iron mask!

"Your Majesty, all this was done by your Highness Prince Duan!"

Jun Li was shocked and Xiao Yan was horrified.

Both of them stared at Bai Prajna with wide eyes.

What is this woman talking about?

"you are lying!"

After a moment, Xiao Yan came back to his senses, kicked Bai Prajna, pointed at her and roared: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this? How dare you frame me in front of the royal family and all the officials!"

False accusation? Humph, Xiao Yan, you are right.

Jiang Xue secretly mocked herself, "You want my life? Today, I will make you convicted of the crime of parricide, and see if you have any ability to mess with Feng Qiyuan!"

"Xiao Mochen! Did you really instruct this woman to do this to Caiwei?"

The wrath of thunder descended, and facing the questioning of Emperor Bei Ling, Xiao Yan was extremely terrified!

"Father! Mo Chen was wrongly accused! Caiwei is Mo Chen's biological sister, how could Mo Chen do such a cruel thing to her! This bitch must have been instructed by someone to frame me! Father, please don't be fooled by her one-sided words!"

Xiao Yan spoke sincerely and with tears in his eyes, not for anything else, but only hoped that Emperor Bei Ling would believe him and not convict him!

"Your Majesty, we cannot jump to conclusions when it comes to the royal bloodline. I think what the Queen said just now makes sense. This servant's identity and origin are unknown. Who knows whether what she said is true or false? The truth needs to be investigated.

Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is your biological son, and he is also the fifth princess's biological sister. He has no reason to harm the fifth princess. Your Majesty, please don't jump to conclusions out of anger and wrongly accuse His Royal Highness Prince Duan." Concubine Shu approached Emperor Bei Ling and defended Xiao Yan.

The Zhao family now relies entirely on His Royal Highness Prince Duan. If anything happens to him, the Zhao family’s status and power will be in jeopardy!

No matter what, Zhao Jinyan will find ways to protect Xiao Yan!

"Changle, besides this woman, do you have any other evidence to prove that Prince Duan was related to the death of the Fifth Princess?"

Concubine Shu's words calmed Emperor Bei Ling a little. It was indeed as she said, Xiao Yan was his biological son after all.
