Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Baian frowned.

The emperor said again: "The assassin is your own younger brother, and he is also an attendant brought by my concubine Degui. Before you question others, shouldn't you also prove your innocence?"

Xia Bai'an's eyes gradually turned cold.

Instead of kneeling down again, she slowly walked towards the emperor and Concubine Degui.

"I just rescued the emperor with Mo Che. At this moment, I am analyzing the situation for the emperor to distinguish between black and white. It seems that it is not enough to prove my innocence. If so, I will sort out Xia Lei's assassination one by one, and ask the emperor for permission."

She stepped forward neither humble nor overbearing, and her every word was loud and clear.

Just a look, almost subconsciously makes people want to believe.

Seeing that she didn't have any guilty look, the emperor waved his hand: "I agree."

"Your Majesty, this assassin is Imperial Physician Xia's younger brother. If the younger brother of Imperial Physician Xia excuses him..."

"Since he has done this, he doesn't care about the lives of my elder sister and my parents, so how can he excuse me? Or, does the father-in-law think that the assassin will assassinate the emperor, and his family will be able to escape unscathed?" ?”

Xia Bai'an raised his eyes coldly, his eyes were full of frost.

The eunuch's spine felt chills when he was told, and he didn't dare to continue to answer.

The person who was calm just now is like the edge of a knife that is slowly being sharpened.

Her steps also gradually accelerated, the skirt left only a fleeting afterimage in mid-air, and she was still talking.

"There are three assassins in total, Xia Lei, and another attendant next to Concubine Degui, and another person who is behind the scenes. Dare I ask Concubine Degui, what are the identities of these three people?"

Concubine De Gui couldn't speak for a while.

It can only be Baozhu's response.

"Except for the assassins who stabbed people in the back, Xia Lei and the assassins who committed suicide are all servants temporarily assigned to Degui Concubine's side."

"Which nanny and father-in-law passed by?"

While Xia Bai'an was speaking, he had already walked in front of Xia Lei who was detained first, and slowly squatted down, pinched Xia Lei's chin, lifted his head, and looked at his expression—Xia Lei hadn't spoken for a long time after the assassination , something is not quite right.

Baozhu was stunned for a moment, but it was sweat oozing from her forehead, she hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

In the end, it was Concubine Degui who pushed the orb away.

"These attendants are all brought in by this palace after listening to Yun Xue's nonsense!"

It really was Yunxue.

Xia Bai'an was not surprised by this guess.

At the same time, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion broke out in cold sweat.

When mentioning this matter, Huang Min became even more energetic: "It is because of the cooperation between Degui Concubine and Yun Xue that Degui Concubine trusts Yun Xue so much, and Yun Xue was able to use my family's power to find the assassin... And this Xia Lei, I specially found him, because Xia Lei doesn't know martial arts, so he won't hurt the emperor..."

"Mo Che, shut her mouth."

Xia Bai'an didn't raise his head, "Your words are always inconsistent, and no one in this place dares to believe what you say."

After finishing speaking, almost before the emperor gave the order, Mo Che came to Huang Min in an instant, gagged her, even pinched her face, lifted her from the ground, and smashed her to the ground again.

Huang Min opened his eyes wide in horror, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, Xia Bai'an wants to..."

"Your majesty." Xia Bai'an said softly, and turned to look at the emperor, "If Huang Min wants to protect you, he shouldn't join forces with the assassin. Since she admits that her Huang family sent the assassin, then this person's words may be It’s unbelievable to justify yourself.”

The queen mother nodded slightly when she heard this.

"Bai An is right. This concubine first said that she dared to come forward because she was afraid of death. Then she said that she had no intention of hurting the emperor, but she still found an assassin. Now she said that she specially invited a younger brother of the imperial physician Xia to protect the emperor. , such reasons are superficial and unbelievable.”

The emperor looked sideways: "Could it be that the queen mother wants to shield Xia Bai'an?"

A stinging pain flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, but she angrily reprimanded: "If the Ai family wants to protect them, they have to wait until now? The Ai family wants to save Xia Bai'an's life. Does the emperor really dare to disobey the Ai family?"

"..."

This time, it was the emperor's turn to be silent.

Xia Bai'an was shocked - so the Queen Mother's words are so effective!Then she is still working so hard to analyze the matter here, why not just kneel on the ground and ask the Queen Mother for protection!

Still, it's one thing to think so in your heart.

How to do it on the surface is another matter.

She asked Xia Lei: "Why did you agree to assassinate the emperor? Don't you know that this is a serious crime that implicates the entire family, and is enough to cause you to die Ling Chi?"

Xia Lei's pupils seemed to be unable to focus.

Xia Bai'an noticed this and applied the needle quietly, Xia Lei regained his clarity in a daze. He struggled a little at first, and then when he saw Xia Bai'an, he suddenly screamed.

"It's because of you! It's because of you that you kidnapped your parents. You said that as long as I help the Huang family finish this matter, they will be released! You want to kill your parents!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Concubine Degui didn't seem to have heard about Xia Bai'an's excuses for Sun Taiwei before, but she just thought that her son was injured because of Xia Bai'an, and it was difficult to heal afterwards, so she was furious.

She braced herself and scolded angrily.

"It really is you, Xia Bai'an! You and Yun Xue are both from the prime minister's family, and they want to use my hand to murder the emperor! What Huang Min said just now is correct!"

Xia Bai'an turned a deaf ear to it.

The emperor asked her: "Xia Bai'an, what else can you argue?"

Xia Bai'an slowly let go of the hand that was pinching Xia Lei's face.

"I have nothing to refute my accusation against my younger brother. Xia Yuan and An Mei are indeed biological parents, but they were the ones who sold me to Mo Che to be his wife, and they were the ones who entangled me in using my family's wealth to pay for gambling debts." , They even wanted to sell all my adopted children for money... So I did become an unfilial daughter, I admit it."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, looked down at Xia Lei, and continued.

"I, Xia Bai'an, am not filial. I am ashamed of the world, and even more ashamed of the title of Imperial Physician bestowed by the Emperor. Starting today, I voluntarily resign as a fourth-rank Imperial Physician to express my guilt."

The emperor's body moved slightly forward for this.

The eunuchs next to him all clenched their fists—fourth rank imperial physician!Gift from the emperor!Did she give up such honor at will!

Xia Lei did not continue to speak.

Xia Bai'an said again: "But I don't accept those words before. Even if I am unfilial, I will never kill my parents, let alone threaten you with my parents' lives to assassinate the emperor!"

"It's you!"

Xia Lei roared hysterically, "If you hadn't had a grudge against Yun Xue, why would we be hunted down by Yun Xue and the Prime Minister's Mansion!

If we hadn't been hunted down, we wouldn't have been held hostage by the Huang family, and we wouldn't have asked you to kidnap our parents, and even threatened me with all the money, saying that if I didn't want to die, I would successfully assassinate the emperor!This is all your conspiracy! "
