Lin Mengran was crying with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Du, please make the decision for me!"

"Princess Minghua, I have no grudge against you. You just picked someone to frame me. I... I don't know where I offended you..."

"Snapped!--"

Lin Mengran was crying bitterly when suddenly a cold-faced woman appeared in front of her and slapped her without saying a word.

Then the world spun around her, and the powerful slap made her head buzz, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Half of his face was numb and swollen, with a burning pain, and a strong smell of blood instantly filled his mouth.

She felt something strange in her mouth and subconsciously spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two bloody teeth.

Her lips were trembling, her eyes were full of pain and fear, half of her face was swollen, and her originally delicate face had become horrible.

Before she could react, Xuan Shuang had already grabbed Lin Mengran's hair and lifted her head up.

"Snapped!--"

"Snapped!--"

.....

Slaps came at her one after another, and Lin Mengran had no power to fight back at all. She felt dizzy and felt that her neck was about to be broken. With tears and blood on her face, she could only let out a faint moan.

The onlookers were stunned by this scene.

Lin Quan was also filled with fear, his lips opened in shock as he wanted to say something, "..."

Su Yuejian glanced at him coldly, and Lin Quan's words were suddenly choked in his throat.

The girl was obviously not very old, but the intimidating aura she exuded was no less than that of the majestic and noble man in black robe beside her.

Su Yuejian wore no makeup, nor any jewelry on her head. She simply tied a red headband, but it made her look extremely bright and elegant. She was only wearing a simple and elegant red dress, but it still couldn't hide her luxurious and sharp aura.

She just stood quietly beside Xiao Heng. Whether it was their looks or the oppressive majesty that filled their bodies, the two of them were a perfect match.

Lin Quan looked at Su Yuejian's cold eyes and couldn't help but shudder.

Su Yuejian withdrew her gaze indifferently. After a moment, she raised her hand slightly, and Xuanshuang's slap stopped.

Lin Mengran's hair was completely disheveled, her cheeks were swollen, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, her eyes were dull, her breath was weak, and she looked like she would faint at any moment.

Su Yuejian's eyes fell on the frightened maid beside Lin Mengran, and she spoke coldly,

"You don't know him?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, looking at the palace doctor, her face pale, her cold lips moving, "No...no..."

Su Yuejian sneered, "What about him?"

The maid followed her gaze, her pupils suddenly dilated, the fear in her eyes became even more intense, and she shook her head violently, "No...no..."

Su Yuejian had a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were extremely cold.

"Do not?"

"Oh, you don't even recognize your own brother?"

The Xuanying Guard escorted a young man to the maid. The young man's hair was messy like weeds and his face was covered with blood and bruises.

Although there were no other signs of torture on the man's body, his deeply sunken eyes and the unspeakable fear and despair in them clearly showed that he had experienced unspeakable torture.

The young man saw the maid's eyes flashing with light and cried out to her loudly.

"Eldest sister, save me, save me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die."

The maid looked at the man who had a mental breakdown, and the fear in her eyes trembled even more. The man was crying with tears and snot running down his face, and he kept kowtowing to Xiao Heng and others.

"Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me. I just bought the red thief's cap and don't know anything else. I don't want to die..."

Hearing this, the maid looked up and met Su Yuejian's murderous eyes. The last line of defense in her heart was broken, and she burst into tears.

"Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life, this is all the young lady's idea, it was the young lady who asked me to do it!"

"What?!!"

Lin Quan cried out in shock and froze in place as if struck by lightning.

If he still had a glimmer of hope just now, now after listening to the maid's accusation, he was completely heartbroken!

I didn't expect his daughter to be so bold as to murder Madam Su!

Not to mention the Taifu Mansion, even that old lady Su is the daughter of one of the five most prestigious families, and she is also a person with an imperial decree!

How dare Lin Mengran!!!

The maid cried with tears in her eyes,

"Master, it was done by the young lady. She has been in love with the Prince Regent for many years. She was jealous that Princess Minghua would marry into the Prince Regent's mansion, so she came up with the idea of poisoning Madam Su.

"I heard that Madam Su has been taking tonics to regulate her body, so the young lady asked me to bribe the doctor of the Taifu Mansion to add a small dose of Crane's Beak Red to her tonics every day..."

The maid's voice became smaller and smaller, and she caught a glimpse of Su Yuejian's gloomy face.

"Princess, please spare my life, this servant... this servant is just following orders!"

The onlookers were instantly shocked.

"I didn't expect that the person who poisoned Madam Su was actually Lin Mengran!"

"And it's a highly toxic poison like Crane's Beak Poison! No wonder Princess Minghua just said that Madam Su was in imminent danger. This is going to take Madam Su's life!"

"That's Crane's Beak Red. I guess Madam Su is beyond help!"

"I never thought that the Shangshu's daughter, who usually pretends to be virtuous, would actually be such a vicious person with a heart of a snake and a scorpion!"

Suddenly, the people's angry curses were endless, and they pointed at Lin Mengran and cursed her, saying she was a vicious woman and wished her a miserable death!

When Lin Mengran heard the maid's accusation and saw the people around her pointing and scolding her, she was trembling and was about to step forward to argue.

But Xuanshuang held her tightly with both hands, and she was completely helpless.

She wanted to say something unwillingly, but when she opened her mouth slightly, her two front teeth fell out.

Lin Quan, who was standing by, felt dizzy and his strong body was shaking.

Du Shi listened to the maid's words and asked in confusion, "Lin Mengran was jealous of Princess Minghua, so why did she poison Madam Su?"

When everyone heard this, they were equally confused.

The maid said, "The young lady said that once Madam Su dies, Princess Minghua will have to observe a three-year mourning period and will not be able to marry into the Regent's Palace... Then she has a chance..."

The following words are self-evident. Du Shi suddenly realized and said angrily,

"How vicious! How could they come up with such a vicious plan!"

"Someone, come! Take this vicious woman down! Put her in jail!"

The guards behind him were about to step forward and arrest Lin Mengran, but the girl's cold voice interrupted them.

"Wait a moment."

When Du Shi heard Su Yuejian's words, he looked up at Su Yuejian's calm eyes and was stunned.

Xiao Heng looked at Su Yuejian, his deep black eyes also filled with inquiry.

She slowly walked to Lin Mengran, who was still glaring at Su Yuejian fiercely and unwillingly.

Su Yuejian looked straight into Lin Mengran's eyes full of resentment, her voice extremely calm.

"Master Du, I want her life."
