1051 Chapter 1051 “Your End is Coming Soon“
His words made the guests and even Li Shi Ying, couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
"Yes, it is. If the scroll isn’t enough to be a proof, here are a few humans from the same sect as Lady Li’s parents. They can testify" Yan Fenghuang waved her hand and three men immediately stepped forward. All of them then kneeled on the floor before doing a kowtow.
"Long live your majesty!" The three men shouted in unison. They kept banging their head to the floor since they were too afraid to not do so. This man in front of them was the emperor of the dragon race ah! To think that a dragon really did exist and all the human here actually was a dragon in disguise.
One wrong move and they would die without a body. That’s for sure!
"Speak" the emperor waved his hand allowing the three humans to stop kowtowing. Only then the three of them raised their body but still remained kneeling. One of them who was apparently the one with most courage began to speak.
"This lowly one is an underling in the sect. This one testifies that indeed what happened, in reality, is the same as the one written in the scroll. The previous sect head actually passed away because of this issue. Our sect’s elders deemed him to be unsuitable as the sect head"
The man lied without even blinked. He was promised a lot of crystal coins which would make him even richer than most nobles. Maybe he could even be as rich as the royal families!
This made the man brave enough to lie to the emperor of the dragon race. Besides, he was reassured by Yan Fenghuang assurance. The girl said that no one would know about this issue so he should chill.
The second man and the third only nodded agreeing with the first man’s word. They too would get a huge share once this mission ended.
"I see. Enough" The emperor didn’t say anything than those three words. He was disappointed that Yan Fenghuang actually prepared fake witnesses too. Now Li Shi Ying would need very strong evidence to wash the accusations accused on her.
The three humans kowtowed again and immediately went back to the shore. They aren’t allowed to stay longer since Yan Fenghuang was afraid that somehow their lie would be known by others.
"Your Majesty, that’s my testimony so...what I said is true" Yan Fenghuang smiled as she stole a glance toward Li Shi Ying. The girl saw that Li Shi Ying was silent and thought that she was finally scared silly.
Good! Your end is coming soon.
Seeing that the emperor didn’t deny anything Yan Fenghuang said, the guests became noisy once more. They wanted to know what will be Li Shi Ying’s response. If she couldn’t handle this well, she would really be done for.
She was the one who served the tea so there’s no proof that she wasn’t the one who put the poison. Added with the fact that she had a strong motive to do so...even though there’s no proof aside from the sachet which prove that Li Shi Ying is the culprit...
At least she won’t ever be crowned as the crown princess. She might be exiled if not executed.
"Lady Li. Is there anything you want to say?" The emperor finally gave Li Shi Ying a fair chance to explain. The girl really did have to do something about this situation.
"Yes. There are a few things I want to say if imperial father allowed me" Li Shi Ying stood firm. The girl ignored the guest’s curious gaze at her and focused her attention on the emperor.
It’s time to show her proof as well.
"Go ahead" The emperor sat down again as he pulled the empress closer to him. At this time he couldn’t let his wife despise Li Shi Ying without proof. Absolutely not.
"First of all. What’s the relationship with my parents attempting to poison the empress with me? It’s very weird logic to think that I will poison the empress too just because my parents failed. The second is...are you sure my parents are really the one behind the empress poisoning incident?"
Li Shi Ying leisurely takes her time by once again, throwing common sense along with a question to affirmed Yan Fenghuang’s words.
"I’m sure. I’m very sure" Yan Fenghuang answered. How could she say she wasn’t sure? She wasn’t an idiot, okay?
"Okay. Imperial father, the punishment for those who deceive the royalty....can be death, right?" Li Shi Ying asked the emperor this time. Her words choked Yan Fenghuang sending fear her way.
Could it be Li Shi Ying had a way to prove that he was lying? No! There’s no way that could be true. This girl was just bluffing.
"You are right" The emperor kindly answered. The worst would be the death penalty but Yan Fenghuang maybe would only be exiled and crippled of all her cultivations.
"Alright. I have 4 evidence to prove that...Lady Yan, you are lying" Li Shi Ying rubbed her hands together as she looked at Old Zhu and at the best doctor in the kingdom. The one she visited before going to the banquet.
"You are just bluffing!" Yan Fenghuang grew agitated when she saw Li Shi Ying made eye contact with Old Zhu and another person she didn’t know of. Could it be Old Zhu knew something?
"Senior Zhu, Imperial doctor, I humbly ask for your testimony"
