The crowd leapt out of their seats in shock… Leakage?
What is the meaning of this?
Consort Yi’s face changed slightly, “Lady Xianfei, it is me who is sorry, but …… what do you mean by this, are you trying to confuse the public?”
Su Miao raised her eyebrows, “Do I need to?”
Concubine Yi, “………”
The Empress Dowager frowned, suddenly interrupted in a deep voice, “Concubine Yi, it’s fine if you want to prove it, but if you casually climbed to frame Concubine Xian, what should be the offence?”
Concubine Yi looks at her sincerely and gravely, “Back to the Empress Dowager, if what I said is half false, I will be struck by heavenly thunder and not be allowed to die a good death!”
The Empress Dowager nodded her head with a heavy gaze, “Good. In that case, how will you prove it?”
Concubine Yi immediately let the little eunuch bring vermillion sand and talisman paper, and drew a talisman just like the one Su Miao drew that day when she found out about Concubine Shu at the banquet. Then she applied Hua Jin Yi’s blood on the talisman paper and recited the incantation silently.
Everyone stared at her without moving.
Everyone also knew that this talisman paper was meant to fly above Consort Xian!
Because last time, it was Consort Xian herself who said that the person casting the puppet technique would be subjected to a cycle of karma and thus be found by the blood-stained talisman paper.
Time passed by one second ……
Concubine Yi continuously recited the incantation to urge the talisman paper, the talisman paper finally slowly floated in mid-air, however …… what shocked people was that the talisman drifted out not two seconds actually drifted back again, and then it was always hovering in the same place!
Crap?
The crowd was shocked
“Why does this talisman keep circling in place?”
“Consort Yi just swore a poisonous oath with such conviction, it can’t be wrong!”
“Could it be that Consort Xian is too capable and has only one hand to cover the sky?”
“………”
Di Bei Yu’s heart slightly loosened and he suddenly laughed coldly, “Concubine Yi, you don’t want to say that you’re not capable enough, that’s why this talisman didn’t move, right?”
Yi Concubine’s pupils contracted minutely, a hint of shock flashed quickly under her eyes, and her chest rose and fell in a slightly imperceptible amplitude. Only after a good half a long time did she use a smooth voice to speak, “Your Majesty is right, my concubine’s skills are indeed not quite up to snuff, why don’t we still find a highly skilled ……”
“I don’t think it’s necessary, right?”
Su Miao gave a light laugh and interrupted her words.
Consort Yi’s tightly clenched palms loosened for a moment, slowly turning to meet her gaze, her expression calm, “Is Lady Xianfei afraid?”
“That’s not true.”
Su Miao smiled faintly, “But even if you spend more time and look for a more highly skilled mage, it’s impossible for the talisman to fall on my head.”
Concubine Yi bit her lip, “My concubine is not as skilled as others, but masters such as Master Fahua may not be!”
Su Miao tsked, and suddenly asked in a meaningful way, “Consort Yi, why exactly did you assassinate Noble Consort Hua?”
Concubine Yi froze, and without thinking, she said, “Naturally, it was Empress Xianfei who used the puppet technique and instructed my concubine!”
“Ah ……”
Su Miao spread her hands, “It seems that you are admitting that you assassinated Noble Consort Hua.”
Concubine Yi, “………”
It always felt like something wasn’t quite right with her words, but she couldn’t say anything specific.
Concubine Yi frowned and was just about to open her mouth when she saw Su Miao turn around and slowly walk towards Hua Jin Yi.
Then, reaching her hand towards the dagger in her chest ……
“Su Miao!”
“Xianfei!”
Behind her, countless voices rose and fell.
Su Miao automatically blocked out all the figures, and the only one that rang in her ears was the one that called her Su Miao.
She hooked her lips in an uncertain manner, abruptly gripped the handle of the dagger, and with a “stab” sound, pulled out the dagger!
