Chapter 757 Murder to Silence?

e locked onto her. 。Of course, I never doubted your abilities. 。But when the time comes, Your Highness will be in a high position. Remember me then, hmm—when that happens, make me a meal yourself, You...“Yes, yes, yes! My lord, please calm down. This matter is probably a misunderstanding...” Rongsheng didn’t dare to stand up, he only turned his body to face Qian Tingxuan, his heart was aching. He had just wanted to chase after the person he had lost, but it was too late. Now he had alarmed the king, what should he do I'm afraid even the official hat on top of his head would be taken away.

"Misunderstanding Just now, Li the Head Constable said that the Princess of Guonan and her servants personally accused my wife of murder. How did this become a misunderstanding now" Qian Tingxuan narrowed his cold eyes, his sharp gaze shifting from him to Xiao Yufu, causing Xiao Yufu to quickly lower her head in fright.

"My Lord, it was the County Princess An who repeatedly claimed to have seen the County Princess Guo kill the nursemaid Lan. As a lowly servant, it is my duty..." 榮升 had already been frightened into trembling legs.

"Oh And what about the body What evidence do you have You dare bring my Queen here without a shred of proof, Rong Sheng! Have you grown tired of living or are you just enjoying your comfortable position too much Hmm!"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger!" Rong Sheng's forehead was already beaded with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it: "When I went to check earlier, there were only some bloodstains on the ground. I didn't see the body or the murder weapon..."

"Be bold!" Qian Tingxuan slapped the table suddenly, scaring everyone there into ducking their heads for fear of incurring bad luck.

"No body, no evidence, and you dare to slander my queen as the murderer You are truly deserving of death!" Qian Tingxuan looked at Xiao Yufu who was shrinking: "Noble Miss Guo'an, you claim to have seen my queen commit the crime. What evidence do you have" If not for Little Ge'er, this woman would have been killed by him a thousand times over.

Xiao Yu Fu was now trembling with fear: "Your Highness, please calm down. At the time, this servant girl was also extremely frightened, so..." She had thought that Lan Yi would surely die, and with Qian Ting Xuan absent, taking Xiao Yu Ge down would mean that even if Xiao Yu Ge didn't die, she would inevitably be punished severely.

She never expected that now, Aunt Lan's life or death was unknown. Not only was there no body, but even the murder weapon couldn't be found. Given Qian Tingxuan's love for Xiao Yuge, he would definitely not let this go. What scared her even more was that if Aunt Lan hadn't died, she would definitely come forward and expose her. At that time, all her plans would be in vain. Usually sharp-tongued, she now stuttered even when speaking.

"So you dare to slander my queen Hmph Do you know that slandering members of the royal family is a serious crime, punishable by having your tongue pulled out!"

"My Lord, please calm your anger. Perhaps it was because I was too frightened at the time, so I... I saw things wrong..." Xiao Yufu trembled in fear, and finally realized that wanting to harm Ge'er wasn't going to be easy.

"Mistook Mistook and dare to falsely accuse my queen Just a "mistake" can be swept over like this Xiao Yufu, who gave you the courage to slander my queen" Qian Tingxuan's whole body radiated coldness, making people not even dare to look up.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant girl knows she was wrong!" At this time, Xiao Yufu couldn't help but lower her head. She looked at Xiao Yuge with tearful eyes and put on a pitiful appearance: "Gē'er, I might have been frightened just now, so I made a mistake. I didn't mean to..."

Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort: "Sister, you just spoke so confidently, firmly saying that it was I who killed Lan Yi. Could it be that both of you, master and servant, are mistaken Does sister know that murder is a crime punishable by death You're almost taking my life by making such a mistake! Sister, your heart is too cruel, isn't it"

"I..." Xiao Yufu was speechless for a moment.

"Accuse the princess falsely, the crime is increased by one degree!" Qian Tingxuan's foot under slightly trembled, suddenly a powerful pressure almost made everyone there gasp for air!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" Rong Sheng endured the discomfort and kept bowing his head to apologize. At this moment, he also felt extremely unlucky in his heart. Since yesterday, the entire capital had been buzzing about how much the King favored the Protectorate County Princess, who was only a single bow away from becoming the Queen. But he had actually provoked the Queen! Now, he had touched upon the king's scales. How could he possibly make amends for this

There was no body, no murder weapon. Based solely on the testimony of Xiao Yu Fu and her servant, there was no way to make an arrest. This was simply an adventurous farce. If he had known earlier, he would never have gotten involved.

Xiao Yu Ge saw that they were almost unable to hold on any longer, so she quickly grabbed Qian Ting Xuan's hand: "Let's hear what they have to say first." With his internal energy, almost everyone here except her could barely withstand half an hour.

"For the sake of the Princess, this king shall let you off this time!" Qian Tingxuan snorted coldly and retracted his pressure.

"Greeting, Lord Wang! Greeting, Lady Wang!"

At this moment, Rong Sheng was so grateful to Xiao Yuge that he almost knelt down and apologized. He also knew that if it weren't for Xiao Yuge, they probably wouldn't have escaped.

Xiao Yu's song nodded, looking at Li Ping: "Li Buptou, you said that when you heard the cry for help from the County Princess of Guoan, you ran over. Then, do you remember, when you got to the door of that house, was it bolted from the inside or locked from the outside"

Li Ping thought seriously for a moment before replying, "It was locked from the outside!"

Xiao Yu Ge narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked, "Are you sure"

Li Ping nodded emphatically: "I am absolutely certain, and the people around me can also testify that the door was locked from the outside at the time. I chopped off the lock with my own sword before rushing in!"

“That’s right.” Xiao Yuge’s lips curled into a smile as she slowly approached Xiao Yufu. “Sister, you just said that you saw me killing someone in the room. May I ask, how did I lock myself in to commit the murder Or are you saying that you saw me committing the murder, then locked the door and went to call for help”

This is clearly illogical. A normal person, especially a woman, seeing such a gruesome murder would definitely be terrified. They wouldn't calmly lock the door and then go call for help unless they did it intentionally.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"This, I..." Xiao Yufu was momentarily speechless.

Besides, just now I heard Captain Li say that place was so remote. How could my sister and her servants possibly go there According to my sister's account, I was the one who was going to kill Aunt Lan and silence her. Could it be that I would invite my sister to watch me commit murder and cover it up

"I, I was just seeing you sneaking around, out of curiosity, I followed behind with An Ling..." Even now, Xiao Yufu still hadn't realized that she had fallen into Xiao Yuge's roundabout trap.

"Is that so Back to the same old topic again. Since your sister went with me, you could explain that she saw me commit the murder, locked me inside, and then ran out to call for help, right"

"Yes, that's right!" Xiao Yu Fu thought about it and realized she was right, so she nodded.

Xiao Yuge's hands clenched, and she suddenly struck. The silver needles whizzed past Xiao Yufu, her master, Li Ping, and several guards, embedding themselves deeply into a nearby pillar.

The crowd gasped, thinking she was going to silence them!ior sister must have had another nightmare, so he hurriedly tried to awaken her reason."Qian Si Chen! You deserve to die!" Xiao Yu Ge, whose eyes were blinded by hatred, still thought she was dreaming...
