1049 Chapter 1049 “I Already Know The Truth“
The guests and the royal family all went silent the moment Yan Fenghuang said her piece. Everyone looked at each other not knowing what's going on for the things to escalated this fast.
Li Shi Ying's parents were the one who poisoned the empress years ago??
"Lady Yan, don't speak without proof" The emperor suddenly spoke. His voice was heavy making the surrounding suddenly became colder than ever. The man glared at Yan Fenghuang as if she just touch a landmine.
This made Yan Fenghuang a bit stunned. She didn't think the emperor reaction would be like this. Shouldn't he feel shocked instead and began to question things more to her? Why he acted as if...he knew the truth and was hiding it?
"Your majesty, I won't speak nonsense without proof. I have the proof, I have the witness too!" Yan Fenghuang insisted. The girl then scanned the guests making each of them flinched. This was getting dangerous. If Li Shi Ying really had such parents...she wouldn't be able to become the crown Princess at all.
Surely his highness the third prince would hate her?
The guests were smarter this time. They didn't immediately judge the girl and decided to wait until she explained things to defend herself.
Yan Fenghuang did see this but she didn't care. She cared more for the royal family reaction. The emperor and the previous emperor didn't look shocked but what about the empress, Ji Sharen and Long Ao Zhen?
The girl looked at the empress first and saw the woman was staring at Li Shi Ying with doubtful eyes. She seemed to be the one trusting her words at the moment. Good, very good! Now, what about Ji Sharen?
Yan Fenghuang turned around and saw the young man only supported his chin with his left hand. His head was hung low as if he was in deep thought. The girl thought that the man surely was shaken. He was starting to doubt Li Shi Ying? Right?
Yan Fenghuang excitement rose by a few levels. Now the last one and the most important out of all the royal family members. Long Ao Zhen! What would be his reaction? Sad? Hurt? Mad? Angry? Shock? Disbelief?
Yan Fenghuang was sure that Long Ao Zhen would immediately question Li Shi Ying but then she saw that the man didn't look shaken at all. He kept his cold face as usual but this time the man pulled Li Shi Ying closer and whispered to her.
What does this mean? She couldn't hear what the man said but...why he didn't get mad or sad? Or maybe he decided to confirm it first? Very cautious!
In fact, Long Ao Zhen whispered to Li Shi Ying to calm the girl. He saw that Li Shi Ying's face went pale a bit and the girl kept looking at his way as if afraid that he would hate her.
"Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine" Long Ao Zhen whispered to Li Shi Ying while stroking her back. There's no trace of sadness nor distrust in his voice. The man seemed even more gentle than usual instead.
"You...you don't believe what Yan Fenghuang said?" Li Shi Ying's eyes flickered. It wasn't time for Long Ao Zhen to know. This man had always been hurt by that poisoning incident. It was also his trauma. He might not be able to think clearly.
".. I believe her" Long Ao Zhen looked at Li Shi Ying with serious eyes. His slow yet clear answer gave a heart attack to Li Shi Ying. Something seemed to explode in her mind.
"Then..why.." Li Shi Ying's voice was trembling as she asked. There's no way Long Ao Zhen would stay like his usual self even after believing in what Yan Fenghuang said. What's going on?
Even though what that b*tch said wasn't 100% true but a part of it was still the truth.
"I already know the truth way long ago. Your parents are just the one who makes the poison. Not the one who uses it" Long Ao Zhen hugged Li Shi Ying once again trying to stop her from crying. He could feel how scared Li Shi Ying was to lose him.
"What? Since...since when?" Li Shi Ying's eyes widened in shock. The girl wanted to push Long Ao Zhen and looked straight to his eyes but couldn't do so. She was too weak at the moment.
"Since the case at that sect, t
The one we visited before we come to the higher realm" Long Ao Zhen patted Li Shi Ying's back again as he stole a glance toward Yan Fenghuang who was now busy contacting her people to bring the proof.
The Emperor challenged her to prove her words after all.
"I see...but why you didn't say anything? Aren't you mad? Even though my parents aren't the one using it, their creating is used to harm your mother…" Li Shi Ying almost couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
If this was the old Long Ao Zhen he would immediately start a dispute but how could this man be so calm upon hearing such important news?
"I was mad. I was sad and angry but I know it's not their fault and not your fault either. Not to mention your parents also leave the recipe of the antidote to the right person so we can save my mother back then. They can't be blamed for this"
Long Ao Zhen slowly released Li Shi Ying after he spoke.
