Chapter 3 Dog bites dog

The eldest princess laughed twice, with an ambiguous meaning: "You are really interesting, girl."

He dared to commit the crime in front of her.

But at this moment, he was very obedient and bowed to her to apologize, looking very honest.

No one expected that the eldest princess was not angry.

For a moment, everyone's eyes looking at Song Lan were a little different.

"I hope Your Highness will not blame me for my recklessness."

Song Lan bent her knees slightly, revealing a bit of cuteness and playfulness.

Most people who have lived in the deep palace for a long time have a common hobby, which is to like to see cheerful and lively life.

In the eyes of the eldest princess, who had seen too many rigid rules, her moderately extraordinary behavior was not offensive, but rather more interesting.

Song Lan has a good sense of proportion.

"Since this is the Spring Festival Banquet I carefully prepared, naturally, no one can have any bad intentions here."

The princess glanced past Song Lan, and looked at the man who was still standing behind her with his head lowered, as if all the noise just now had nothing to do with him, and chuckled softly.

"Guizhi, take someone to check if there is anything wrong with the cup that Miss Song drank from."

She turned her eyes to Zhang Chi and Xie Yuyao and said, "How dare you poison my house? How can I know that you are not plotting to murder the royal family and this princess!"

"Miss Song, it's just an unexpected disaster."

Just a few words frightened the instigator so much that he became speechless.

Xie Yuyao's lips were trembling and she was extremely frightened.

Worried that it would be discovered, she gave the glass of spiked wine to Song Lan.

Murdering the royal family...woohoo, the punishment is capital punishment.

After all, he is only twelve or thirteen years old. Even though he has a vicious mind, he is not mature enough.

Song Lan just went with the flow, and took advantage of the eldest princess's words about murdering royal relatives to whisper a few words to Xie Yuyao out of resentment.

The little girl, who couldn't calm down, began to panic and looked to Zhang Chi for help.

Zhang Chi was also scared.

His eyes met Xie Yuyao's and he suddenly felt annoyed.

Why was this woman looking at him? Was she trying to frame him for the poison?

"Your Highness Ming Jian!"

Zhang Chi suddenly sobbed and kowtowed, with a look of regret on his face: "I was careless and believed what Miss Xie said. I thought that thing was just a bitter and sour seasoning. It was a prank between the sisters to play a prank on Sister Song Lan."

"I don't know that it is poisonous!"

Zhang Chi burst into tears: "If I knew, I would never help Miss Xie and fall down in Sister Song Lan's wine."

"I have been cheated!"

After hearing Zhang Chi's sudden self-explosion without any warning, Xie Yuyao was unable to react for a long time.

This man, what stupid thing is he saying?
Zhang Chi cried silently, with a hint of ferocity hidden in his eyes.

Rather than waiting to be framed by this woman, it would be better for him to strike first!

This matter today is bound to not end well.

Then someone has to take the blame.

The maid who went to investigate Song Lan's wine glass beside the princess came back quickly and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Tsk!"

"I didn't expect that there are people who are so bold..."

The princess said half a sentence in an ambiguous tone, as if what the maid had just reported to her was irrefutable evidence of poisoning.

People around couldn't help but whisper.

"Aren't Xie Yuyao and Song Lan cousins? How could they do such a thing?" Someone muttered this vaguely, and it went into Xie Yuyao's ears, as if it was a death warrant to convict her!

"You're talking shit!"

Xie Yuyao came to her senses and realized what kind of situation Zhang Chi's words would put her in. She flew into a rage and started to curse without thinking: "If you hadn't said that my second sister was dull and boring, and not as considerate and gentle as me, and wanted to switch the marriage with her to me, and didn't want to bear the infamy, then you deliberately planned to ruin her reputation first, making her ashamed to stick to the engagement, and then take the opportunity to ask my parents to marry me, how could I have given her that glass of wine!"

"You clearly poured the poison into the cup with your own hands!"

There were a few wisps of black air swirling between Xie Yuyao's brows, invisible to others. She told Zhang Chi and her conspiracy clearly, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Song Lan curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and between his fingers were a few strands of black air that were the same as the one between Xie Yuyao's eyebrows.

This is the resentment she has accumulated for more than two thousand years!

It is also her best weapon.

"Yu Yao!"

Finally, an uncontrollable scolding was heard from the crowd!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The lady in luxurious clothes pushed away the people on both sides, stepped forward quickly, covered her mouth and continued to talk about how the Xie family planned to replace Xie Yuyao with Song Lan's dowry.

Xie Yuyao, whose mouth was covered, came back to her senses in confusion, as if she had completely forgotten what she had just said.

It took a while for the memory to fill her mind again.

Finished!

Xie Yuyao had only this one thought at this moment.

"Mother……"

She nestled in the arms of the eldest wife of the Xie family in fear, choking with sobs and unable to speak.

Mrs. Lu, the eldest wife of the Xie family, forced a smile and explained, "This girl must have been in trouble. She is insane and talking nonsense."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, and allow me to take my daughter back to the palace to see a doctor first."

The eldest princess hasn't spoken yet.

Song Lan took a step forward and looked down at Mrs. Lu, the eldest wife of the Xie family: "Aunt, do you mean that there are dirty things in the Princess's house?"

"You girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Madam Lu glared at Song Lan and scolded her, "Why don't you quickly apologize to His Highness and ask His Highness to forgive you for speaking without restraint!"

"A gentleman does not speak of strange things. In front of the Heavenly Family, how can you..."

"Let's not talk about supernatural powers, what did you just say, aunt?"

Song Lan's tone was unforgiving.

Lu was speechless.

"I……"

"It seems that I misunderstood my aunt." Song Lan suddenly apologized.

Mrs. Lu's expression relaxed slightly, and she was just about to pretend to say something like "I don't blame you" and "children speak without restraint" to show how deep her affection for others was.

"My aunt is not a supernatural being. She said there are dirty things in the Princess's mansion."

Song Lan's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile: "My aunt just made up an excuse to fool your highness and all the nobles present here."

"I think it's not true that my cousin offended someone, but that my aunt is guilty and afraid that my cousin will expose your conspiracy."

Lu's face suddenly changed. In anger, she was about to accuse Song Lan of slander in an attempt to reverse the situation.

"So, my cousin and my ex-fiance conspired to put wine in my drink in order to embarrass me, attract criticism, and ruin the Spring Banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I think my aunt is aware of this evil act."

Song Lan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and for a moment Lu seemed to see a devil from hell crawling towards her. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

The niece who used to let her squeeze and twist her without getting angry, now spoke every word as if it was the voice of hell demanding her life.

"My aunt is either an accomplice or a shielder!"
