Qin Junyu raised the corner of his mouth, with an obvious smile. His gaze moved from Qin Zehai to the queen, and finally stopped at Nian Susu's eyes beside the stands.

"Fortunately, Miss Nian has come up with a way to prove that the emperor's uncle has nothing to do with the Crazy Powder."

Qin Zehai glared at Nian Susu and happened to meet her eyes. The former was full of inquiry and vigilance, while the latter was as calm as still water.

She faced the emperor, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I do have a way to prove that the virtuous king is innocent. I wonder if His Majesty is willing to cooperate."

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, the empress immediately reprimanded him: "Miss Nian, this is no child's play. It is not a small fight in the backyard of a girl's house. You should think clearly about what you should and should not say."

This is a warning and a reminder.

The queen knew that Nian Susu was smart and clever. Since she had spoken, she must be 90% sure. That was why she was so afraid, fearing that Qin Zehai would really fall into the hands of this little girl.

Nian Susu looked her in the eyes that hinted at a warning, and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, this is a matter concerning the safety of the Emperor. Of course, I know that we cannot take it lightly. Please give me a chance, and also give the wise king a chance to prove his innocence."

The queen clenched her handkerchief and glanced at Qin Zehai out of the corner of her eye. Seeing his livid face, she felt bad too.

"Well," the emperor said, "If it weren't for Miss Nian, I would have ridden the drugged horse into the woods. She could see the problem from such a distance, which shows how thoughtful Miss Nian is.

I will listen again, do you have any good ideas to prove the innocence of the virtuous king? "

Nian Susu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard from the horse doctor that the Dian Kuang powder contains a large amount of safflower, which is exactly the key."

"Oh? What does Red Flower say?"

The horse doctor immediately explained: "The main effect of safflower is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and to dredge the meridians."

Nian Susu nodded, "This is the medicinal value of safflower, but Your Majesty doesn't know that safflower is often used by folk cloth workshops to dye cloth. Safflower has a strong coloring power, and once it is stained, it is very difficult to wash. The dyeing effect is good and it is not easy to fade."

The emperor suddenly understood, "So Miss Nian means that anyone who touches the Dian Kuang San will be stained by the safflower?"

"That's exactly what your servant meant." Nian Susu said with a smile, "According to the horse doctor, the imperial horse was given the drug last night, and it has not been digested yet, which shows how large the amount of the drug was. So whoever gave the horse the drug must have had some on his hands, and the emperor will know who has touched the Dian Kuang San once he tests it."

Everyone listened attentively, and after Nian Susu finished his explanation, they suddenly understood.

"I didn't expect Miss Nian to know all this."

"It's amazing, I can't even remember what the horse doctor said, but Miss Nian still remembered such a small detail."

"Remembering such a small detail is not the most amazing thing. What's amazing is that Miss Nian can associate it with the dyeing effect of safflower. From this angle, we can immediately find out who is the one who drugged her!"

The girls were talking at once and holding out their hands to help each other testify that there was absolutely no problem.

The queen's face turned black.

Qin Zehai hid his hands under his wide sleeves guiltily.

The emperor nodded in approval, laughed several times and praised Nian Susu: "As expected of you, Nian Chengyun's daughter! Good!"

He winked at Qin Junyu, "Yu'er, to ensure fairness, everyone must be checked."

Qin Junyu took the order and led two teams of imperial guards to start checking one by one.

Nian Susu, who proposed this method, was the first to extend his hand openly.

The Royal Guards checked carefully and moved on to the next one after making sure there was no problem.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone present was cleared of suspicion.

Only the secret guard and Qin Zehai's hands had not been checked.

The secret guard had his hands tied behind his back, with his fists clenched.

Qin Junyu untied his ropes, and with the help of two guards, he forcefully pried his hands apart, revealing his palms.

Qin Junyu dragged the man to the stands, pulled the secret guard's arm forward, and presented the two purple-red palms to the emperor.

"Father, please look, he is indeed the one who drugged me."

The emperor snorted angrily and ordered his men to drag the secret guard away.

Now only Qin Zehai is left.

The royal guards wanted to check, but he refused and hid his hands tightly in his sleeves.

After all, he was still the wise king and the emperor's younger brother. The imperial guards did not dare to be rude to him and could only ask the emperor for instructions.

Nian Susu recommended himself and the emperor agreed.

Nian Susu walked up to Qin Zehai, lifted her skirt and squatted down.

He was kneeling, and when she squatted down, her line of sight was lowered, so she had to raise her head slightly to look him in the eye.

Qin Zehai's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he hated Nian Susu very much.

He finally understood why Er Niang often mentioned the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family in front of him.

Nian Susu is extremely intelligent, has a heart full of wisdom, and a face full of beauty. She is both talented and beautiful. Which man would not love such a woman?

No wonder Er Niang wanted to marry her to Tian Er.

Qin Zehai's teeth were grinding with a "clacking" sound.

Nian Susu spread out his palms and smiled, "Come on, my lord, we have to face it eventually.

If you take the initiative to cooperate, perhaps you can still retain a little dignity. Otherwise, if the emperor orders the imperial guards to seize the prince's arms and forcefully pry open his palms, the scene will be extremely embarrassing."

She used the brightest smile and said the most heart-wrenching words.

Qin Zehai stared at her, his eyes were red and even his eyeballs were trembling.

His eyes suddenly moved behind her.

Nian Susu glanced sideways and Qin Junyu walked behind her.

"Uncle, do you want to do it yourself, or should I do it myself?" He raised the corners of his mouth and gave a sinister smile.

Qin Zehai suddenly closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and finally compromised.

He stretched out his trembling hands, with the backs of his hands facing upward.

Everyone's eyes were focused on those hands.

When the hands are turned over, the palms are facing up, but there is no color.

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief again.

Qin Zehai's face suddenly twitched, as if he was laughing too hard and his features were distorted, or as if he was too excited and lost control of his expression.

He shed a tear, but was very proud, and asked the two people with a ferocious look: "How is it? Is there anything? What did you see?"

He was like crazy.

Qin Junyu clenched his fists and wanted to punch him on the spot.

The secret guard's palms turned red, which meant that Nian Susu's method was feasible, but Qin Zehai's palms were not stained. Did it mean that he was innocent?

Everyone started whispering to each other again.

"What? There's no dye?"

"Is it true that Prince Qing was wronged?"

"Why did the secret guard insist that it was Prince Qing? Was he ordered by someone?"

The emperor also began to waver. Could it be that he was not a wise king?

Nian Susu slowly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, shook it gently, placed it on her palm, and pinched Qin Zehai's index finger through the handkerchief.

Qin Zehai's smile disappeared instantly, and he asked with gritted teeth: "What are you going to do?"

Nian Susu said softly, "My Lord, please cooperate."
