"The Queen Mother may not know. When I was young, I traveled to Qian Kingdom and knew that there was a magical medicine there that could accelerate human development and shorten the growth cycle by up to five years. Princess Changle is an excellent doctor and she was born in Qian Kingdom, so it should not be difficult for her to get this medicine. Maybe she will use this medicine on this child, which is not impossible." Su Ming stared at Jiang Xue with a cold look.

"Since Prime Minister Su insisted that this baby is Changle's flesh and blood, why don't we just do an on-site identification and a paternity test to see if this little guy and I are related by blood." Facing Su Ming's aggressive attitude, Jiang Xue calmly proposed the idea of ​​a paternity test in order to clarify everything.

"Forget about the paternity test. To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the old trick of melting blood. Princess Changle is an excellent doctor. If she makes some small movements during the blood melting process, we will be confused, right?" Su Ming directly rejected Jiang Xue's suggestion.

When he was in Su'ning, he had heard the legend of Princess Changle in Yujing, and even the letters sent by the Queen mentioned her great achievements.

Xiao Li, Xiao Yan, and even Xiao Huan were all defeated by her. This woman was simply a time bomb, and he would never allow her any chance to turn things around.

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you mean that we can decide life and death based on conjecture? What kind of justice is this?" Xiao Zhan stood up, looked directly at Su Ming, protected Jiang Xue in front of him, and prepared to fight against this wave of provocation.

"Of course not." Su Ming took a step back with a smile, then suddenly grabbed Liuli and pushed her towards Xiao Zhan.

"The most powerful evidence is that Princess Gong killed the child herself."

"What child are you talking about?" Jiang Xue's heart suddenly tightened, her eyes widened, and it seemed as if flames were about to burst out of her eyes! In her previous life, she watched her daughter die in front of her, powerless; in this life, this beast actually wanted her to end Liuli's life with her own hands?

"Prime Minister Su, this little girl is just an innocent child. You are too cruel to do this." Even the Queen Mother felt that this suggestion was extremely chilling. What crime did a young child commit? Why did she have to endure such a bad fate?

"Your Majesty, I did this out of consideration for Princess Gong. Right now, the city of Yujing is in an uproar over this child. If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the reputation of Prince Gong's Mansion and His Royal Highness, but also the reputation of the royal family.

If strong measures are not taken to make the position clear, the rumors will intensify and the royal family's authority will be challenged. Once the authority collapses, how much awe will the people have for the royal family? "

As expected of the head of the civil servants, Su Ming's words were watertight, and even the meticulous Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan could not find any loopholes in his rebuttal.

"Therefore, in order to demonstrate the inviolable dignity of our Beiling royal family, I believe that responding with blood is the most shocking. As long as the child disappears, the rumors about her will naturally disappear. Faced with life and death, the people will weigh the importance of life and death, restrain their mouths, and stop talking nonsense to damage the reputation of the royal family. At the same time, Princess Gong can also use this to clear her suspicion, killing two birds with one stone."

As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence.

After a moment, Emperor Beiling stood up and slammed the table, with a sneer on his face: "I agree with the Prime Minister's point of view, Changle, if this child has nothing to do with you, then please act immediately, otherwise, it means you admit the scandal between you and Junli."

As he spoke, he threw the sword in his hand to the guard beside him, indicating that he should pass it to Jiang Xue.

"Princess..." Liuli was held by Su Ming, her left arm in unbearable pain, and her right hand quietly reached for the sword at her waist. She had made up her mind that as long as Jiang Xue took the sword, she would immediately attack.

To survive, this was her only thought at the moment.

Jiang Xue stared at the saber lying in front of her, motionless.

There was a chill in her eyes, and murderous intent spread silently.

"Changle, take action." Emperor Beiling urged sternly.

"It seems that Princess Gong is unwilling to take the knife. Could it be that she is reluctant to kill the child?" Su Ming said sarcastically.

"Changle..." The Queen Mother looked at her worriedly, her eyes full of love.

The noise in her ears was one after another, making Jiang Xue's head buzz. She was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, just as she remained silent, a cold light flashed before her eyes.

Her palms sank and she felt warmth behind her. The saber was drawn out and a big hand grasped her wrist without hesitation, swinging her hand.

With a flash of cold light, the sword pierced into Liuli's petite body with incredible precision.

Bright red blood spurted out, and a few drops stained her fair face, making Jiang Xue look extremely charming.

"Mother... Mother..." Liuli widened her eyes in disbelief. Before she could draw her sword, her hands had already fallen down weakly.

With a thud, she fell in a pool of blood, and soon after, she stopped breathing.

Xiao Zhan's knife was sharp and decisive, hitting the vital point directly and minimizing her pain.

This scene left everyone in the hall stunned.

Su Ming was equally shocked.

He originally thought that Jiang Xue would never kill the child with her own hands, so he could use the child to continue attacking Jiang Xue. However, he did not expect that Xiao Zhan's sudden action completely disrupted his wishful thinking.

"princess."

"Changle."

The scene before her seemed like history repeating itself. Looking at the tragic sight of Liuli lying in a pool of blood, Jiang Xue's thoughts were instantly drawn back to the heart-wrenching memory of her previous life.

Her chest was churning and a fishy, ​​sweet taste rushed into her throat. She couldn't help but open her mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and slid down the corner of her mouth. Her expression was extremely miserable.

Then, the world in front of my eyes became blurry, my eyes closed, and I fainted.

The Queen Mother and Xiao Zhan's followers exclaimed in shock and were extremely anxious.

Xiao Zhan embraced her delicate body that was about to fall, suppressed the pain in his eyes, gently supported her knees with his left hand, and picked her up horizontally.

He glanced coldly at Emperor Beiling, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Ming. His eyes were as cold as ice, so sharp that Emperor Beiling shuddered involuntarily and wanted to dodge to avoid the sharp gaze.

But in front of everyone, he could not show weakness and could only bite the bullet and confront Xiao Zhan.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this outcome?" Xiao Zhan's words were as calm as water, but made people feel chilled.

Xiao Yun looked at his fourth brother's eyes. He could read a strong murderous intent in those seemingly calm eyes.

Faced with Xiao Zhan's questioning, Emperor Beiling was speechless for a moment. He just lowered his head and stared at the little life on the ground with a frown.

"It is indeed unexpected that His Royal Highness Prince Gong and the Princess Consort worked together to end the fate of this child." Su Ming came to his senses, squatted down, and personally checked Liuli's pulse to confirm that she had no signs of life.

It seems that Xiao Zhan's feelings for Princess Gong were, as the Queen said, deep and passionate. In order to protect her, he was so cruel as to kill a seven-year-old child.
