At this moment, a burst of complex footsteps was heard outside.
He subconsciously looked over and found a beautiful woman walking in quickly.
Prince Li, who was originally sitting in his seat, suddenly stood up and walked forward with a concerned look on his face and asked, "Xiao Mu, why are you here?"
Lin Su Rou said calmly, "Your Highness, someone wanted to kill me. Fortunately, my maid and I were smart and took the antidote in advance. Otherwise, you would have to go to the moat to fish out my body!"
Prince Li's expression suddenly changed: "Who is it?"
Lin Su replied calmly: "Prince Rui's daughter!"
Cheng Rui, who was listening with his ears perked up, suddenly froze. Feifei?
How could she?
It must be that the woman in front of him deliberately slandered his daughter, and he must apologize to the king.
He quickly stood up and said, "This is ridiculous, you ignorant fool! My daughter has always been by my side. How could she send someone to kill you? How dare you deliberately slander me? What is your crime?"
Prince Li's expression suddenly darkened. He said coldly, "Cheng Rui, are you looking for death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chopstick flew towards his mouth through the air.
Even though he dodged very quickly, he still lost several teeth.
His mouth was full of blood, but he dared not say a word.
He had finally calmed the wrath of Emperor Sheng. If he angered the evil spirit again, he would never be able to leave the Sheng Dynasty alive.
He forced himself to explain, "Prince Li, my daughter is well-behaved and kind, and she has no grudges against your princess. How could you send someone to harm her?"
Lin Su immediately revealed a gentle smile: "Don't worry, Prince Rui. I have brought the witness here. Let's hear what he says."
Soon, the maid dragged the man up.
The moment Cheng Feifei saw it, her fingers hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly, what a bunch of idiots, they couldn't even handle a woman, and yet they gave her away, damn it!
At this time, Lin Yiwan had already walked quickly to the man. She frowned and asked, "You said that you were ordered by Prince Rui's daughter to murder my mother. Do you recognize the people here? Which one is Miss Cheng?"
The man pointed at Cheng Feifei: "That's her!"
Lin Yiwan's sharp gaze immediately fell on Cheng Feifei. She asked calmly, "Miss Cheng, please explain why you sent someone to kill my mother?"
Cheng Feifei had already thought of an excuse. Even though she was very nervous, she didn't show it on her face.
She spoke slowly, "I came to the Sheng Dynasty this time without deliberately concealing my appearance. It's not surprising that someone with a keen eye could recognize me. But why would I murder Princess Li? As my father said, we have no grudges against each other. Even if I had to kill, it should be Madam Hou. After all, it was you who caused my father such great humiliation!"
It must be said that her words really made the court officials believe it.
At this time, Cheng Feifei looked at the man again: "Now in front of everyone, tell me again, who sent you to kill Princess Li?"
Under her gaze, cold sweat kept dripping from the man's forehead.
He clenched his fists tightly, and after a long while, he finally uttered a single word: "I was greedy for money and attempted to kidnap Princess Li and blackmail Prince Li. In order to save my life, I lied and said someone was behind it!"
A murderous intent flashed in Cheng Rui's eyes, and he raised his foot and kicked the man hard in the heart.
"How dare you slander my daughter? You're courting death!"
His kick was so powerful that the man died instantly.
Lin Yiwan scoffed, "Those who know will think Prince Rui is angry about his daughter being slandered, while those who don't will think you are silencing her!"
Cheng Rui argued, "Madam Hou, I helped your Sheng Dynasty deal with the blackmailer. You should be grateful to me. Don't use such shady words!"
Lin Yiwan glanced at Cheng Feifei and pulled Lin Su to sit in her seat.
Lin Su asked in a low voice: "Wanwan, are you just going to let her go? I think she must have done it!"
Lin Yiwan said in a complicated tone, "She won't admit it, and we don't have any other evidence. Continuing to argue won't lead to any results!"
Lin Su knew that her daughter was not someone who would suffer any loss, and she would definitely find other ways to retaliate.
She didn't ask any more questions and just lowered her head to eat.
The banquet ended with everyone having their own thoughts. When Lin Yiwan helped Lin Su walk out of the palace gate, Cheng Feifei caught up with them.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Princess, Madam, I never thought someone would use my name to do something bad. I feel deeply guilty. Tomorrow, I will personally visit you and hope to earn your forgiveness!"
Lin Yiwan said, "It wasn't Miss Cheng who instigated it, so why would Miss Cheng feel guilty? Or are you already guilty? That's why you came to visit and apologize?"
Cheng Feifei didn't expect Lin Yiwan to be so sharp-tongued. No wonder that idiot Cheng Zhenzhen lost to her.
It's really tricky!
But she is calm and shrewd.
To put it bluntly, it's just shamelessness!
She would never get angry just because of a few words.
She spoke calmly, "After all, this is just a misunderstanding. My father and I are here for peace between our two countries. Does the Marquis really want to turn me away? And leave the people of both countries in disregard?"
Lin Yiwan shook her head: "Of course not. Since Miss Cheng wants to visit, you must prepare a generous gift. Otherwise, I will only be able to give you simple meals when I leave the palace!"
Cheng Feifei quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Madam Hou!"
After Lin Su and Lin Yiwan got into the carriage, she asked curiously, "Wanwan, are you really going to entertain her? I can see there's something scheming in her eyes. This is definitely not just a simple visit!"
Lin Yiwan took a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth. "It's easier to catch her if we lure her into a trap. Besides, there were quite a few court officials watching us just now. She humbled herself and begged us so much. If we blindly refuse her, we'll be branded as selfish and cold-hearted. My Ah Yan is still guarding the border, and I can't let him down!"
Lin Su nodded hurriedly: "Well, then I will send all the children to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow to prevent them from being affected!"
When Lin Yiwan returned, she sent invitations to the noble ladies in Beijing, not only inviting them to attend the banquet, but also inviting the Princess of Southern Xinjiang.
She deliberately made things worse to lure Cheng Feifei into the trap.
In the study of the inn, Cheng Rui's face was extremely ugly. Even though he smashed several cups in succession, he was unable to calm the anger in his heart.
He even scolded Cheng Feifei angrily: "You idiot, why did you send someone to murder Princess Li for no reason? You were almost exposed. How could your father protect you then?"
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "Father, you didn't even listen to my reasons, and you came up to scold me. You are too arbitrary!"
Cheng Rui is feeling extremely frustrated now, as he misses the fact that he is the most honorable King Rui among the barbarians.
