Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes.

"Go back to the emperor. Snow tea has been there."

The Queen sighed, "A Nanny died there. Does Little Snow Tea know?"

Lin Xuecha answered again, "Yes, I know."

She knows...?

She actually knew, but she didn't report it, nor did she make a sound.

According to the palace maid, he was running away, which meant that there was something wrong with his heart.

Little girl, are you trying to fall into their trap …

Marquis Anping frowned, but endured it, not saying a word.

The old Emperor's face obviously sank.

The Crown Prince glanced at him.

Seeing that he didn't respond, he lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.

Since no one was asking, it was obviously the empress asking.

There was something good about the empress's question.

That was, she would worry about Lin Xuecha's feelings and ask him about everything that had happened so clearly and clearly.

He would not let any clues slip by.

It was not because she loved Lin Xuecha.

But that was her duty.

As the master of the Six Palaces, he had to settle the dispute between women.

She looked at Lin Xuecha, but didn't ask about anything related to Pool, but rather, the current him.

"Why did Xue Chou's dress change into a blue dress? Why did she change into a palace dress?"

For example, after killing someone, did he change his clothes because of bad luck, or was it because of something else?

Her question was very obscure.

However, everyone present was smart.

Who wouldn't understand the meaning behind the empress's words?

Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes and honestly replied.

"Snow Tea's clothes are all wet, which is why she changed into a long skirt. The Empress can ask Your Highness if she knows about this."

"Oh …"

The Queen looked up and saw that Lin Xuecha's hair had not dried yet.

The Empress believed it for thirty percent of the moment, and her phoenix eyes gazed at the quiet Su Nanxing by the side.

she asked when she saw that his hair was moist and the ends of his eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Lao Jiu, is this true?"

The man said slowly, "It was This King who threw her into the pool. How could her clothes not be wet?"

"…"

The empress was silent.

He did not ask any further, and asked Su Nanxing about the reason why he threw him into the pond.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Isn't there a rumor that His Highness Jing Ran is extremely protective of his wife?

Although the Princess Yuexi hadn't married off yet, he had already enjoyed the treatment of an imperial concubine.

How could he be thrown into the pond by His Highness Jing Ran today?

The crown prince raised his eyebrows, his gaze landed on Lin Xuecha who was kneeling in the middle of the hall.

Lin Xueyu sat in the most corner, and his gaze, was also fixated at Lin Xuecha who was on the stage.

She had performed a ink dance and became famous at the Queen's birthday banquet. After that, she no longer used her veil to show people off.

Her face was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that with a blink of an eye, it could move a person's soul.

However, there was a hint of coldness within the indifference in her eyes.

However, it was not thick.

If one didn't look closely at the front, no one would be able to find anything wrong with her.

Thinking about the matter of Lin Xuecha, with the help of the divine child Su Nanxing, the empress decided to skip the topic.

After that, in order to show fairness and show that the Royal Clan was not biased, she also summoned that palace maid into the great hall.

The palace maids kowtowed to the crowd.

After saluting them one by one, they listened to the empress's questions.

"Just now, I asked the princess a few questions. Now, tell me what you know and confront the princess face to face."

"Yes," the palace maid acknowledged.

"This servant has seen a woman dressed in a light pink, lotus flower dress with a palace dress standing next to the Pool. Not long later, that woman …"

Lin Xuecha interrupted her, "Where did you see that?"

"This servant saw it from behind the big tree."

The palace maid subconsciously responded to Lin Xuecha, and then continued.

"Not long after, that woman suddenly turned around. This servant saw her run two steps away, but …"

Lin Xuecha interrupted once again, "Why are you standing behind a big tree?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment before she replied with a blush.

"At that time, this servant wanted to go to the toilet, but the toilet was too far away. This servant couldn't hold it in any longer, and that was …"

Lin Xuecha replied, "Continue."

Her Majesty's eyes darkened.

The corner of Su Nanxing's lips slightly rose as he lightly sipped the tea.

The palace maid was startled as well. She looked at the old emperor and the empress's expression, but seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, she continued speaking.

"The servant girl saw the girl run two steps, but she suddenly kneeled down as if she had a guilty conscience. Then, the servant saw her turn around and look …"

Lin Xuecha interrupted him once again.

"Didn't you say you couldn't see who that woman is? Why can't you see her expression?"

The expression on the face of the palace maid faltered slightly as she replied.

"This servant was only thinking too much, thinking too much because she fell to the ground after she took two steps. This servant finally felt that it might be because she had a guilty conscience and panicked …"

Lin Xuecha said again, "Oh, you are the only witness to this matter, if you were to say everything that you think, won't you anger the Emperor and cause his head to fall off?"

When the palace maid heard that, her face turned deathly pale.

She kowtowed to the old Emperor, "No, no. This servant only said one word, everything else was correct, everything else was true, and there was no lie made up. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

The empress dowager smiled. "Alright, little Snow Tea. Don't try to scare her anymore. Let her finish her story first."

Lin Xuecha lowered his gaze, "Yes, Empress Dowager."

After hearing what Lin Xuecha said, she took a long time to recover from her shock.

"This servant saw the woman turn her head and look at Pool. She looked at it for a long time before turning her head back.

And this servant walked out from behind the big tree, walked to the Pool and looked, and discovered that there was actually a dead person inside the Pool, and immediately ran towards the palace path, then met the Crown Prince, and followed this servant to report to the Crown Prince.

As the sound of her voice faded, the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

"If what you're saying is true, then that woman is a murderer. What about you? You're just releasing your hands, you're not blind nor are you deaf. That big guy died in Pool, can't you see that when you passed by?"

Lin Xuecha said without hurry, his vision abnormally clear and deep.

"Even at that time, there were no dead people in the Pool. If you had opened your hand, there would have been one more dead person in the Pool. Then, when the dead person fell into the water, could it be that you couldn't hear?"

Everyone agreed with what Lin Xuecha said.

It was just a release, the palace maid wasn't blind or deaf.

When she passed by the Pool, there were still no corpses at the side of the Pool. This meant that the corpses, were thrown into the Pool by someone during the process of her release.

However, the important thing was that there was water in the Pool.

Even if a dead person died, their weight was still there. It was impossible for her to not move when someone threw her into the water.

Unless that person carried the corpse down personally with their Pool, so that person wouldn't make a sound.

However, the body of the deceased was even taller and thicker than Lin Xuecha. With Lin Xuecha's small physique, how could he carry the deceased out of the Pool?

The words of the palace maid were filled with doubts, everyone could not help but look at Lin Xuecha with praise.

To use a spear and to attack with a shield, one really needed to be quick with thought.

Everyone's gaze turned to that palace maid.

The old emperor's gaze wavered slightly as he fixed his gaze on the palace maid.

"Princess has asked you a question, why shouldn't you?"

The face of the palace maid suddenly turned deathly pale.

"Servant, servant …"

She bit her lips and stuttered for a long time, not saying what she wanted to say.

Lin Xuecha leisurely said, "It's hard to say, but it's very easy to say, and will be labeled as having cheated the monarch. Miss, it's best if you think carefully before speaking."

On the face of the palace maid, the color of her blood faded in an instant.

Her panic was easily seen by the crowd. However, in the end, the palace maid abruptly raised her eyes, which were filled with determination.

she asked instead of answering.

After he asked the question that Lin Xuecha was most unwilling to answer.

"When this servant released her hands, I indeed did not see a corpse in the Pool. However, after the servant girl finished undoing her hands, she saw the princess standing on top of the Pool. This point is unquestionable, but where is the princess?

Why would the princess appear beside the Pool at that hour? The princess had also seen the corpse inside the Pool, but why did she turn around and leave without reporting it? This servant cannot explain the reason; the emperor can punish this servant but can the princess clear her mind of this matter? "

As the sound of his voice faded, he was like a pebble thrown on the calm surface of a lake, causing ripples.

These words had two extremely important information points.

Firstly, this palace servant was unable to prove that Lin Xuecha was the murderer who killed Old Nanny.

The suspicion of Lin Xuecha committing the crime had already been removed.

However, there was still the second reason.

That was, although Lin Xuecha was not the killer, but she appeared at that time and at that place. Seeing the dead person floating on the water, without reporting or calling for anyone, everyone thought it was strange.

Doubtful.

Lin Xuecha himself was very clear of this as well.

If she did not come up with a reason for this matter, it would be very difficult for her to escape.

At most, he would be able to clear himself of any suspicion of murder. As for the rest, there were no changes.

But, could the reason for the Emotional Gu's outburst, really be explained on the surface?

The empress dowager seemed to ask curiously, "That's right, little snowy tea, why are you not in the great hall accompanying your father to the Pool?"

Crown Prince Su Jin narrowed his eyes. He knew this very well.

He could roughly guess the reason why Lin Xuecha wanted to go to the Pool.

But he was waiting.

Wait for her, say his name, and ask him to testify for her.

After all, at that time, the person who was closest to the Pool and directly met with that palace maid was only him.

Lin Xueyu laughed.

"When big sister left the hall, she said she wanted to go to the restroom. Why did she suddenly change her mind and run over to the Pool instead?"

The color in Lin Xuecha's eyes was clear and shallow.

She looked at Lin Xueyu, then turned to look at the Empress.

The empress was staring at her with a puzzled expression, waiting for her reply. Her eyes flickered as she withdrew her gaze.

Everyone present was waiting for her reply.
