The man in black's eyes flickered, and murderous intent suddenly appeared. "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon."

Mu Lanxun snorted coldly. He had been forced to calm down and think these past few days, and he found that he had sorted out many things.

He believed that with Xier's ability, this kind of frame-up was not worth mentioning at all.

"That's great, I'll wait and see." His calm tone seemed as if he was the one holding the sickle.

The man in black was extremely cold. He suddenly raised his hand, a few flashes of light flashed at his fingertips, and with a turn of his wrist, the light shot out.

Mu Lanxun tried his best to leap backwards. With three "ding ding ding" sounds, the confined space caused his back to suddenly hit the cold and hard wall, and his breathing became uncontrollable for a moment.

The slight collision sound was keenly caught by the man in black. He seemed to have seen something interesting, and the coldness in his body gradually dissipated.

Then he just walked away without any hesitation.

The person leaning against the wall laughed happily. It turned out to be him!

Ten days have passed since Qin Li knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked for her daughter.

In recent days, the Dali Temple has been surrounded by the people of Ya'an City, just to get the firsthand taste of the good melons.

The Dali Temple Minister couldn't drive these people away, so he had to let them continue to surround him.

Qin Li is now under protection, or strictly speaking, under surveillance.

Fang Mingzheng also collected the royal jade edict. Since the jade edict existed, it meant that there must be such a person.

But the person who knows the inside story best is now in a coma, and these things involve His Majesty's family affairs, so he is really overwhelmed.

The old antiques in the palace couldn't wait to let "Princess Yuhe" return to her ancestral home.

It was as if "Princess Yuhe" returned to the palace, they would have an excuse to urge His Majesty to take a concubine, and then Emperor Qi Zhao could have a prince.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the trial. Qin Li knelt in front of the prince with a calm face, but the legendary "Princess Yuhe" did not show up.

Almost all relevant people were present at the scene today, and even two veterans of three dynasties in the palace sat in the spectator seats.

Fang Mingzheng's face was stern. "Is Princess Liyou here?"

"Your Excellency, the princess is on the way and will be here soon," someone replied.

Lord Fang nodded and turned to look at Qin Li on the side.

As time passed, Qin Li tearfully recounted her daughter's miserable life.

"The most despicable thing was the midwife surnamed Mi. Her skills were inadequate, and I was weak at the time. My daughter, whom I had painstakingly given birth to, didn't cry or make a fuss, so she said she was stillborn!"

"Unfortunately, I was unconscious at the time. I only remember the child lying silently in his swaddling clothes, covered in bruises."

When she said this, Qin Li seemed to recall painful memories and burst into tears on the spot.

Everyone was confused. Died young?

Then how did she get the chancellor's request for her daughter a few days ago?

"My daughter didn't die! She was just too weak at the time! She was still alive, and she even opened her eyes to look at me! But the new midwife made that final judgment!"

Qin Li did not forget to maintain her posture while sobbing, showing off her tenderness from every angle.

"It's truly moving! Even when the child is unconscious, you can still tell whether he has his eyes open or not?" A clear female voice echoed throughout the lobby.

The Dali Temple's eyes narrowed, and he was about to scold, but when he turned around, he saw Feng Xili standing outside the door in a princess's dress, with a woman with her head lowered beside her.

It was actually against the rules for Feng Xili to barge into the courtroom without anyone notifying her, but everyone knew that although she was a princess, she was clearly a favorite of His Majesty.

Maybe, it is possible that she is His Majesty's biological daughter, a real princess.

The two veterans of three dynasties looked at her, then looked at the Dali Temple Minister, who sat there as steady as an old dog, without even blinking, as if Feng Xili had always been there.

"Li You greets Lord Fang and all the lords. I'm sorry for being rude just now." As she said that, Feng Xili lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down.

Fang Mingzheng's eyes twitched, the real culprit had arrived.

"Princess Liyou, did you just mean that Qin Li was lying?"

Fang Mingzheng got into the state in a second. Feng Xili's cold eyes made him suddenly feel as if he had returned to a year ago and met the girl who had calmly pleaded with him.

The scene in front of her was strangely similar, except that the little concubine girl back then had now become a stylish member of the royal family.

"Your Excellency, Li You was originally in Zechun City helping the people rebuild their homes when he suddenly heard that my mother had appeared in Ya'an City."

Feng Xili knelt upright and put herself on the moral high ground as soon as she opened her mouth, helping the people of Zechun rebuild their homes.

State affairs are more important than family affairs, so it is understandable that she was a little late.

She glanced around and spoke again, "As far as I can remember, I've always lived in the Prime Minister's Residence. My father was only the Prime Minister, and my mother was only the Prime Minister's wife."

"When I was fifteen and came of age, my father told me my background. He only said that I wasn't the daughter of a prime minister, but he was willing to be my father forever. He didn't say anything else."

When she talked about Feng Linshang, her eyes softened noticeably.

"If this woman is my mother, then why did she only come looking for me now after more than ten years?"

"If she didn't know my whereabouts before, how did she know it now?"

Feng Xili turned her head to look at Fang Mingzheng who was sitting on the stage. There was grievance and pity in her eyes, as well as some hope.

"Yuhe, Yuhe, my dear daughter, I lost you. I was deceived by that bitch! She took advantage of me being unconscious and found a dead baby to trick me!"

"In fact, it was clearly because of her lack of technical skills and her self-willed behavior that your birth was so dangerous." Qin Li spoke very logically, and described the midwife as an unforgivable traitor.

"You mean, the midwife lied to you and said the child died, but in fact you are very sure that the child is still alive?" Feng Xili bit her lower lip and looked at her pitifully.

Qin Li paused for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I clearly saw you blinking at that time."

"Then how did I end up in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" She grabbed Qin Li's arms with both hands, excitedly wanting to know about her life experience.

"That bitch must have sent you to the Prime Minister's residence just to prevent me from finding you." She said it angrily, and the way she gritted her teeth made people think deeply.

According to Qin Li, it should have been seventeen years ago. At that time, Feng Linshang had just been promoted to the Minister of Works, an official who was neither big nor small.

How could you adopt someone else's daughter for no reason?

The tenderness in Feng Xili's eyes gradually faded. She held Qin Li's arm and asked a question carefully and clearly: "Is that midwife still here?"

Speaking of the enemy in the blood sea, Qin Li started yelling as if she was out of control, "I can't find her. If she's still alive, I'll accept her even if she turns to ashes..."

The words died away in a flash, and only then did Qin Li realize how familiar the person who had been following Feng Xili looked.

Until that person raised his head, the familiar disgust in his eyes brought back her most unbearable memories.

"Mrs. Li, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well."
