1043 Chapter 1043 What is This??
1043 Chapter 1043 “What is This??“
Long Ao Zhen kneaded his temple with his right hand. The man felt frustrated for the n-th time.
But why didn’t his bunny tell him anything about this so he could help too...did she think he will hate her if he knows about this? He already knew!
The fact that her parents were the creator of the poison which almost killed his mother was very delicate news. Li Shi Ying should already know about it. If the guests knew about it they would surely immediately accused his girl.
Then why? Why won’t she ask for his help?
Long Ao Zhen face darkened a bit and his hand which was holding on Li Shi Ying’s hand tightened again almost crushing the girl’s tiny hand.
"It’s okay. Your mom will be safe" Li Shi Ying stroked the back of Long Ao Zhen’s hand as she whispered to him. The girl grimaced in pain for a while but as soon as Long Ao Zhen realize he used too much strength and immediately retracted his hand, the girl’s complexion become better.
"...I know. Thanks. And you too...please be safe" Long Ao Zhen lowered his hand unable to look at his bunny’s eyes. If he did so he wouldn’t be able to hold back the urge to grab her shoulder and force her to answer why won’t she ask for his help.
This thought...was very toxic. He couldn’t do it.
Li Shi Ying sighed seeing Long Ao Zhen was a bit down. He too must be a little traumatized right now. So Zhen...wait for a while this case would be closed soon...
This was the most critical situation after all. After the announcement, the b*tch next to her would try to stir the guests to think that she was the one who put the poison.
First, she was indeed the only person ever touching the tea. The others haven’t touched it yet. Second, she knew there was poison there without being a poison expert. She doubted that all the guests would believe in what she said about her butterfly divine beast.
Then after all the guests had doubt toward her, this b*tch would surely disclose the fact about her parents!
Li Shi Ying had just finished predicting what would happen when Yan Fenghuang finally spoke again.
"Wow, sister Li you are so amazing to realize there’s a poison inside! You save auntie’s life, are you a poison expert too? I never knew! Or maybe your so-called divine beast is the one noticing it? Ah, must be a great beast, even greater than- no. Nevermind..."
Yan Fenghuang clapped her hand as she looked at Li Shi Ying with eyes full of admiration. Her voice when she spoke was loud and clear making all the guests could hear what she said. The tone the girl used was extremely innocent without any hidden motive but it stirred the guests’ heart.
"Watch your mouth" Long Ao Zhen threw a sharp glare at Yan Fenghuang knowing that the girl would surely try to do something weird again. This girl does nothing but framed Li Shi Ying!
Yan Fenghuang immediately shut up by covering her own mouth. The girl looked up at Long Ao Zhen with watery eyes slowly made the guests around her leaned to her side.
"The crown prince is too harsh on that lady, don’t you think so?" One of the young men who was smitten by Yan Fenghuang whispered to his friends as he looked at Long Ao Zhen with a disapproving glance.
"Yes. What Lady Yan said is quite true. How could a divine beast detected poison as dangerous as that when us dragons couldn’t" The other male nodded his head agreeing with his friend.
"But you see, I heard that there are a lot of beasts with a unique ability in the lower realm. There’s no guarantee that there isn’t a beast that really could detect poison" one of a more logical young man, suddenly spoke making the other two froze on the spot.
The one who talked was well-known to be smart, he had a vast knowledge not only about this realm but about other realms too. Compared to them who were like a frog inside a well, this person was so knowledgeable.
The young man’s word stopped the others from asking further. Even the older guests also began to believe Li Shi Ying since the young man from before spoke quite loud. It’s clear that he did it on purpose to help Li Shi Ying.
Seeing this, Yan Fenghuang and Li Shi Ying had a different reaction. The first girl gnashed her teeth in anger thinking that Shi Ying was too lucky to have someone willing to help her while the later, thought that the young man was simply helping out of his principle.
The young man seemed like someone who couldn’t stay silent when he knew the truth. It didn’t have anything to do with her. But this is good.
Li Shi Ying smiled and was about to ask the empress to identify her divine beast to prove its ability when Yan Fenghuang suddenly shouted out of the blue.
"Ahh! What is this??" The girl bent her back and picked up a small white sachet from the floor near Li Shi Ying’s chair. Her loud voice attracted everyone’s attention to her.
"What’s going on? What do you find?" The previous emperor furrowed his eyebrows as he asked the girl. Somehow he had a guess what this sly girl found but...nevermind.
