1041 Chapter 1041 “The Poison Expert is Here!“
Ji Sharen knew how Li Shi Ying didn't like to be in the middle of everyone attention so there's no way she would use such a cheap tactic to get the title as the empress' saviour. She was about to be crowned as the crown princess! There's no need to do so.
Ji Sharen's father also thought the same. Why would someone want to get attention when she herself was about to be the crown princess for sure? This human wasn't that dumb!
"...imperial mother, the poison is odourless, colourless and tasteless. It even can escape the silver needle examination" Li Shi Ying softly spoke in an unhurried tone after the people looked at her.
The girl still had her calm demeanour didn't look like someone who had just committed something bad. Her eyes were so serene and unperturbed to the point of shaking the previous emperor and the empress' heart.
This girl...even in the middle of being accused of something severe enough to make her get executed...she still looks calm! There's no fear could be seen in her eyes. That is the eyes of someone with the utmost confidence in herself. Someone who really didn't have a guilty conscience.
The previous emperor couldn't help but sigh. He actually didn't really suspect Li Shi Ying. He suspects someone else instead but he just wanted to see how Li Shi Ying would handle this. He knew where this was heading. It must be heading to the old case.
Did the culprit think he, as the previous emperor didn't check Li Shi Ying background at all? Only he and the Emperor knew about how the poison which used to poisoned the empress before was made by Li Shi Ying's father.
They knew about it but so what?
Her parents also made the antidote which actually saved the empress' life. They weren't the one who used the poison so what's the use of blaming them? But the culprit behind the current poisoning attempt wanted to stir trouble by using the girl's identity!!
Let's see Li Shi Ying...how you handle this. As the future empress, you have to solve it well!
The previous emperor calmly uses this chance to trained Li Shi Ying while the emperor, on the other hand, was really worried for the girl. He knew the truth but he didn't know if his son knew. What if his son hated Li Shi Ying once he knew?
He really had predicted where this case was heading but if he stopped it now, the empress would suspect him for being heartless. He knew that his father stays silent and become a neutral party here so he could temper Li Shi Ying into becoming a fine future empress.
But he couldn't watch his dear daughter in such a delicate situation…
The Emperor looked at Li Shi Ying and closed his eyes. He could only believe in Li Shi Ying. He didn't know who was the culprit but his guess was...Yan Fenghuang. Yet he couldn't be the one to point the culprit.
It had to be Li Shi Ying. So that the guests here really approve her for her own capability and not because of the support she had from the royal family.
Li Shi Ying...please do this well! Else he too wouldn't be able to help. The worst scenarios would be Li Shi Ying chased out from higher realm and her marriage would never be approved. She won't die as he won't let that happen but…
He wouldn't be able to reveal that Yan Fenghuang was the culprit either. He didn't have enough evidence. Li Shi Ying, please get the evidence that this was all Yan Fenghuang's scheme! What a jealous girl thank God he wasn't blind to make this girl his daughter-in-law.
The empress was silent after Li Shi Ying spoke. Somehow this poison trait seemed familiar...could it be the poison used was the same poison that almost killed her back in the days?
"Really? How do you know it's odourless, colourless and tasteless? Did your butterfly also told you that?" Yan Fenghuang looked up at Li Shi Ying as she tilted her head innocently. The girl acted as if she was really just curious rather than actually blaming and accusing Li Shi Ying.
"Yes, my butterfly told me that. We can prove whether what I said is true or not later when the poison expert comes" Li Shi Ying smiled at Yan Fenghuang and looked at her as if the girl was a clueless child.
This look made Yan Fenghuang face turned dark for a second. She didn't think that Li Shi Ying would still be so calm despite already at the edge of collapsing. Does she not afraid of losing her status here?
"I...I see" Yan Fenghuang pretend to be an obedient child. The girl lowered her head but she secretly looked around to see what the guests' reaction toward Li Shi Ying. She saw that some of them believed that Li Shi Ying didn't have any role in this poisoning incident while the rest believed the opposite.
Now the dragons stared at Li Shi Ying with eyes full of disgust especially the young women. They were all jealous of Li Shi Ying so once the girl was in trouble, they didn't hesitate to look down on her.
Seeing this scene, Long Ao Zhen was about to go knock some sense to the ladies when a guard shouted stopping him from doing anything.
