Chapter 77

"No, nothing." Of course Tang Ke Xin wouldn't tell him. If he beat her to death, she wouldn't even tell her what she was thinking.

At this moment, the door was pushed open. The movement was light and slow. It was obvious that the person was hesitating.

Tang Ke Xin looked through the crack and saw the person who entered. Her eyes slightly narrowed, and just as she had expected, the person who walked in was Aunt Xi.

Logically speaking, the Aunt Xi was the most unlikely person to harm the Queen, why would she suspect the Aunt Xi?

He discovered that the longer he lived, the more he couldn't understand this woman.

Tang Ke Xin still did not move, she was waiting, waiting for the person who came in, until the person had a clearer motive, then she would have more persuasive power.

Aunt Xi carefully entered her room and looked around. Obviously, she did not discover anything, and then entered the room. However, she did not close the door.

Tang Ke Xin secretly sneered, this Aunt Xi was actually very smart, she would definitely make people doubt him even more after she closed the door.

As for not closing her room, it could be said that she was here to retrieve something. It was just that she woke up a bit earlier.

Aunt Xi walked into the room and looked around. It was clear that she did not find what she was looking for, and so she started to look around.

Tang Ke Xin did not hide the dagger too tightly, so Aunt Xi found it very quickly. Aunt Xi's eyes flashed, and quickly picked up the dagger.

"What is the Aunt Xi looking for?" Just then, Tang Ke Xin suddenly stood up and spoke out.

"Huh?" The unguarded Aunt Xi was so shocked that her soul had left her body. The thing in her hand was not held tightly and it fell straight to the ground. Her body was also visibly pushed back a few steps.

It was the dagger that had fallen to the ground. Aunt Xi thought that Tang Ke Xin did not see this, and stealthily moved her foot to step on it.

"Tang, Miss Tang, why are you here?" When Aunt Xi saw Tang Ke Xin, he was even more surprised to the point that her words were unclear.

She did not understand what Tang Ke Xin was doing here at this time.

"I should be the one asking the Aunt Xi." If it was someone else, it would be one thing, but she had followed the Queen for so many years, and the Queen had always been good to her, but she actually harmed the Queen?

It was because she was suspicious in the beginning that Tang Ke Xin set up this trap, but he didn't think that it would really be her.

"This servant came to find something." At this moment, it was obvious that Aunt Xi had calmed down, and her tone had recovered some of her calmness.

"What is the Aunt Xi looking for?" The corner of Tang Ke Xin's mouth pulled a little, and the coldness in the corner of her lips became even more obvious. At this point, she was still looking for an excuse, which showed that she did not have the heart to go back on her words.

Tang Ke Xin walked around the box as she walked step by step in front of Ye Lan Jue. Ye Lan Jue suddenly had an impulse to grab onto her feet, although it was very crowded last night, but he was unwilling to let go of her.

Perhaps, he really should bring her back to the mansion as soon as possible. That way, he could carry her to sleep every night …

Of course, he knew that she might not be so obedient, so he had to think of something.

Ye Lan Jue looked at her and smiled like a fox.

Of course, the current Tang Ke Xin was completely unaware of the third prince's plans.

"This servant just wanted to casually take a few things and some ingredients to boil some soup for the Queen." The reason Aunt Xi found was very good, but unfortunately, Tang Ke Xin would not believe her.

Yesterday, when the palace maid came to report to Kunning Palace, she and Ye Lan Chen just happened to enter the great hall, so at that time, she had clearly seen Aunt Xi's reaction.

At that time, Queen was very surprised, very surprised, but there was no surprise on her face, only fear. At that time, she did not look at Queen, but lowered her head, indicating that she was not worried for him, but for herself.

Later on, she deliberately asked Aunt Xi about it. Aunt Xi said that she did not know that the Empress had gone to find myriad, so if that was the case, then where had her fear come from?

Furthermore, ordinary people would not be able to obtain the Gold Phoenix Dagger, and as for the tracks of the Queen, only she knew the answer.

Only, she thought that Queen would go to Wan He Garden the moment she left the Kunning Palace, but she didn't expect that Queen would go to the Buddhist Hall and sit there for two hours, so the time to myriad's death had been brought forward by two hours.

What Chun Er said was all true. The Aunt Xi was only trying to knock Chun Er out after she saw it.

"Oh, then why did Aunt Xi take that dagger? Yesterday, His Highness the Fourth Prince told me, Emperor found that the dagger had a murderer's finger imprint on it, and wanted to inspect it together today, so he placed the dagger in the storage room. He was afraid that the dagger would be stolen, so he decided to guard here, but did not expect Aunt Xi to arrive so early. Tang Ke Xin looked at her, a smile that was not a smile on his face, and his eyes that was filled with danger.

"This servant doesn't understand what the Miss Tang is saying." Aunt Xi was still pretending to be confused and looking for an excuse.

Tang Ke Xin's eyes clearly sunk, she was already completely disappointed in her. She had originally thought that she had followed the Queen for so many years after all, and if she had any regrets in her heart, she could have left them behind.

Tang Ke Xin did not speak to her again. Instead, she walked forward and kicked her feet that were stepping on the dagger.

Aunt Xi's body clearly trembled slightly, her face became pale for a moment, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but tremble, "This servant still has things to do."

"Aunt Xi wants me to test it? Or should we wait for the Emperor to test it? " Tang Ke Xin did not stop her, but said each word slowly.

"What do you mean?" Sure enough, the Aunt Xi stopped in her tracks and quickly turned to look at Tang Ke Xin.

"If I come here to investigate, then this matter will be a secret. If the Emperor comes here to investigate, then I believe that the consequences would be something the Aunt Xi knows better than I do." In fact, Tang Ke Xin's words were meant to scare her, because Emperor didn't even know about this matter.

Yesterday, she made Ye Lan Chen say it in a panic.

After all, Aunt Xi was someone close to Queen. If word of this got out, it would not be good for Queen either.

Aunt Xi did not say anything. Her lips slightly pursed, and it was obvious that she was thinking about it, and looking at him, she seemed to still be hesitating a little.

"There are no fingerprints on the dagger at all. All of this was set up by the Miss." After a while, Aunt Xi suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze clearly showing her fierceness: "Tang Ke Xin, you are very smart, but there are some things that you cannot handle."

"So?" The corner of Tang Ke Xin's lips drew back into a light smile. She never thought that this Aunt Xi was actually such a fierce person.

"Since there is no evidence, it will not be so easy for Miss Tang to frame this servant." At this moment, Aunt Xi actually thought that there were no finger marks on the dagger, and obviously heaved a sigh of relief.

Tang Ke Xin looked at it and smiled faintly. Although it was a faint smile, it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

At that moment, the sound of messy footsteps came from the yard. From the sound of the footsteps, it was obvious that a lot of people had come.

"Didn't they say to interrogate the murderer? "Where is he?" Then came the unique voice of the Ming Gui Fei.

Tang Ke Xin was slightly startled. Assassinate the culprit? Who told the Ming Gui Fei to investigate the murderer? It was early enough, but just in time.

Aunt Xi had only been in the storage room for a short while, why did Ming Gui Fei know about it so quickly? Who told the news to the Ming Gui Fei so quickly?

Tang Ke Xin suddenly realised, everything about him was probably in the eyes of the man.

This made Tang Ke Xin feel very bad.

Then, did that person know that she slept with the third prince last night?

"Emperor has arrived." Just as Tang Ke Xin was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded out, startling Tang Ke Xin.

Yesterday, she was the one who had asked Ye Lan Chen to impersonate her. Originally, she had wanted to quietly settle this matter, but she hadn't thought that it would cause such a commotion that even the Emperor had come.

If the Emperor found out about her fake orders, would he directly chop off her head?

[Maybe the man behind all this must have planned this and made such a big deal out of it?]

Aunt Xi looked at Tang Ke Xin and suddenly laughed. Then she turned around and walked out of the storage room.

The Aunt Xi had already determined that since there were no finger marks on the dagger, Tang Ke Xin had no evidence. There was no evidence to say that it was useless.

Furthermore, the Aunt Xi had obviously guessed what Tang Ke Xin was going to do with the fake Emperor.

Tang Ke Xin did not leave in a hurry, she only turned to look at the back of the boxes, but there were no movements, it seemed like Ye Lan Jue had left already.

"This servant greets the Emperor, the Queen of Queen greets the Ming Gui Fei." Aunt Xi walked into the courtyard and respectfully bowed towards Queen and Ming Gui Fei, but he didn't notice anything strange.

"What's going on? "What's going on with all of you?" Ming Gui Fei looked at Aunt Xi and Tang Ke Xin who were walking out of the storage room.

"This servant doesn't know what's going on?" "This servant was originally up early and wanted to find some ingredients to cook soup for the Queen's Mother. However, Tang Ke Xin was in the storage room and suspected that this servant was the murderer, saying that the dagger had a killer's finger imprint on it, that the emperor ordered everyone to press their hand seals to verify who the murderer was." As expected, Aunt Xi had already guessed that Tang Ke Xin was going to pass down her orders, so she took the chance to say it.

When Queen heard what Aunt Xi said, her brows knitted slightly, and her eyes flashed. These words were clearly from Chen Er yesterday. Why did she push all of it onto heart-child?

Queen suddenly realized that something was amiss.

"Has Emperor ever given such an order? "How come I didn't know?" Ming Gui Fei was startled, then he turned to look at Emperor.

"I have really never remembered to give such a decree, but little girl, why don't you remind me when I gave such a decree?" Emperor looked at Tang Ke Xin, and said each word slowly, although his tone was still considered friendly, but the dangerous aura in his voice was something that no one could ignore.

It could be seen that the Emperor was truly angry. After all, this was a huge matter like passing down orders.
