After hearing Xiao Yunxi's words, everyone in the hall's faces changed drastically.

Jamel Xiao started beating Lu Jingting, punch after punch.

Ruan wanted to rush forward with heartache, but Old Madam Lu grabbed her arm tightly.

"Old lady?"

"Just let him hit you!"

"He will beat Jing Ting to death!"

Ruan was so anxious that her voice changed.

Old Madam Lu bit her lip tightly. She also felt sorry for her grandson, but now she could only let the Xiao family vent their anger first before doing anything else.

Lu Jingting was no match for Jamel Xiao to begin with, and now he felt guilty, so he didn’t resist at all and let the fists fall heavily on him.

"Second brother."

Xiao Yunxi said calmly, "Be careful of your hands getting hurt. No matter how useless he is, he is still a 'prince of the royal palace'. Let's leave it to your majesty to deal with."

Seeing that her brother was about to be beaten to death, Lu Guifang no longer cared about her mother-in-law's sullen face, and pointed at Xiao Yunxi and scolded her: "Don't accuse Jing Ting of anything. What evidence do you have to prove that Lin Wan'er wanted to poison you?!

Lu Ze is young, how can his nonsense be taken seriously?

If you allow your brother to beat your husband, I will still sue you for violating the ethics of a woman!

I think you are a fierce woman, a vicious woman!"

Madam Lu was so angry that her eyes turned black. She grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it over, "Shut your stinky mouth!"

Lu Guifang screamed "Ah", covering her forehead which was hit, her eyes turned red, and before she could say anything, she was slapped again by Madam Dong.

She had no choice but to shrink back in frustration, staring at Xiao Yunxi fiercely with her eyes.

"Xia He! Take your men to search Lin's yard right now!"

Jamel Xiao rubbed his wrist and ordered coldly.

Xiao Yunxi handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe your hands, second brother, they are too dirty!"

She turned to look at Madam Dong and said, "Please ask Madam Dong and Nanny Li to go together and be witnesses.

In order to avoid finding anything, someone might accuse me of framing them!"

"Yunxi, grandma believes you. There's no need to check. Just calm down."

Madam Lu let go of Ruan, walked quickly to Xiao Yunxi's side, and held her hand tightly, "Jing Ting was wrong in this matter, and your second brother has also vented his anger. Grandmother, just beat that concubine to death and throw her out to feed the dogs!

As for Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, remove them from your name and send them back to their farms in the countryside. Never allow them to enter Beijing again.

If this incident is brought before His Majesty, Jing Ting will not benefit from it and you will also be embarrassed, right?

How can a couple not have some embarrassment?

Grandmother promises that Jingting will live with you wholeheartedly in the future!"

Mu Qingyun pulled Xiao Yunxi back, looked at Madam Lu coldly, and said, "Madam, you really haven't lived in vain. You just turned right and wrong upside down with just a few words. If Yunxi doesn't agree, she would be ignorant!"

Madam Lu said with a look of surprise: "Princess Yongning, please be careful with your words. This is a family matter of the Zhennan Palace!"

Madam Dong came forward and said, "She is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace, and the Princess of Changle of the Dali Period. If that lowly concubine of the Lin family really has the intention to murder her, she has violated the laws of the Dali Period!

Those who plot to murder royal relatives shall be punished by slow slicing.

Madam, please wait a moment. I will take Madam Li and Miss Xia He with me now!"

After saying that, he nodded at Xia He and led the way out.

Nanny Li looked at Madam Lu helplessly, and when she saw her nod, she quickly followed her.

Xiao Yunxi, Xiao Jingchen, and Mu Qingyun sat back in their chairs without saying a word, while Lu Zhan and Chun Xiao stood behind Xiao Yunxi.

Old Madam Lu glanced at Lu Jingting, who was curled up on the ground with a bruised face, then looked at Lu Guifang, who looked indignant, and Ruan, who was wiping tears around her son.

She closed her eyes in despair and walked back to her seat dejectedly.

This isn't a birthday party for me, it's clearly a funeral for me!

For a moment, there was no sound in the hall.

After a stick of incense, Mrs. Dong returned to the hall with a look of horror on her face.

She took out a black box with trembling hands and said, "Princess, please come and see the emperor!"

Madam Lu ran over, took a look, and took a breath of cold air. She saw a blood-stained cloth doll inside, which was densely pierced with embroidery needles. "This... this..."

Xia He stepped forward and said, "The princess's birth date is engraved on the back of this blood-stained cloth doll. The box was found by Madam Li in the box that Madam Lin brought into the mansion.

In addition, two small bottles filled with pills were found in Lin's underwear. I have already sent someone to invite the imperial physician."

“Oh,” Xiao Jingchen sneered, “This Lin actually knows the art of witchcraft. It’s really a waste of talent for her to be a concubine in the palace!”

"He has been wanting to kill Yun Xi for a long time!" Mu Qingyun slammed the table in anger, "God damn it, to poison the royal family, he only needs to make Lin a widow.

But using witchcraft to curse and murder a first-rank princess is a crime that will involve nine generations of your clan!

You, the Prince of Zhennan, can just wait for your property to be confiscated and your clan to be exterminated!"

Mu Qingyun pulled Xiao Yunxi away and said, "Let's go to the rooftop and beat the drum to protest our grievances. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Madam Dong glanced at the dazed Lu Guifang and said, "My Dong family can't afford such a daughter-in-law. I will divorce you now and send someone to return your dowry in full tomorrow!"

Jamel Xiao glanced at Lu Zhan and said, “If you want to live, follow me. If you want to die, stay and accompany your father!”

Lu Zhan pursed his lips and immediately followed Xiao Yunxi.

"Wait!"

Madam Lu took out a dagger and put it across her neck. "If you dare to step out of the palace gate, I will cut your throat!"

"Old lady!"

"grandmother!"

Ruan ran over quickly.

Lu Jingting also crawled forward desperately.

"Xiao Yunxi! You are still a member of the Zhennan Palace. You dare to ignore your grandmother's life or death. You are unfilial! Is your Ningguo Palace so uneducated?!"

Lu Guifang was scared. If Xiao Yunxi really left, she would not only be divorced, but also be beheaded.

We absolutely cannot let Xiao Yunxi leave!

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows in confusion. Where did this old lady get the dagger? Did she carry it with her?

"The first rule of my Ningguo Mansion is to be loyal to the emperor and love the country!" Xiao Jingchen sneered, "Lu Jingting's old lover actually knows the art of witchcraft. Now we only see the blood-stained puppet cursing Yun Xi, who knows if he is cursing Your Majesty in secret!

Who knows who is behind this bitch!

Of course, we must hurry to the palace to see the emperor!"

Lu Jingting suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Xiao Yunxi, we are husband and wife, are you really so ruthless that you want to wipe out my entire clan?!

Your grandmother has always been kind to you, how could you just watch her die?!"

"Tsk," Xiao Yunxi laughed sarcastically, "Lu Jingting, if we talk about being thick-skinned, you dare to claim to be second, and no one in the whole Dali dares to claim to be first!

You are not worthy of mentioning the word "husband and wife"!

Lin Wan'er is a lowly concubine, and you are a lowly man!

Your family of four will soon be able to cross the Naihe Bridge hand in hand. Are you happy?"

"Madam, please hold the dagger firmly, find the acupuncture point and slide it down with force!" Xiao Yunxi pointed at the position with her hand, "Right here, it only takes a moment, and you won't feel any pain at all.

This is much more painful than being skinned alive with thousands of knives at Caishikou!"

"you…"

Madam Lu was so angry that she accidentally scratched herself and cried out in pain. She quickly asked Madam Li to call a doctor.

Jamel Xiao shook his head, “What a spineless family!”

Just as I was about to leave, I heard footsteps coming from the front.

He squinted his eyes, looked at it, and was happy, saying to himself: It's finally here.
