Xiao Yuzi immediately kowtowed: "Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding... I have never done this, and I will never harm you!"

Wei Tingshan couldn't believe it either.

"Your Highness, have you made a mistake...how could it be Xiao Yuzi?"

Xiao Yuzi has been following him since he entered the palace and has been trained by him personally.

Over the years, he has long become one of Murong Heng's most trusted people. ?.??????.???

Murong Heng ignored him and just stared at him indifferently, with a huge coldness surging deep in his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Yuzi and said.

"What happened to your hand?"

Xiao Yuzi was startled and looked at his hands subconsciously.

I was surprised to find that there was a faint blue glow on my fingertips. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

His eyes froze and he was stunned.

Shen Ruoxi said.

"After testing the poison, I sprinkled the juice of blue river grass on the persimmon. If someone touches the persimmon later, it will slowly turn blue when it comes into contact with the air, so..."

She looked at Xiao Yuzi with a scrutinizing gaze.

"So when the persimmons were placed there just now, Xiao Yuzi, you took the opportunity to touch the persimmons and put poison on them."

Xiao Yuzi's expression froze, he knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward with his knees, saying hurriedly.

"Crown Princess..."

A "swish" sound.

Leng Ye pulled out his sword and placed it in front of him: "Kneel down, don't move!"

There was shock and anger in his eyes, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but use a little more force.

Xiao Yuzi said.

"Princess, I did touch the persimmons, but I just tidied them up. I definitely didn't poison them. I can swear this!"

Murong Heng remained unmoved.

"You have been with Gu for so many years. In your eyes, Gu is so easy to fool?"

"Your Highness..."

There was great sadness in Xiao Yuzi's eyes, and then he closed his eyes slightly.

"This servant is loyal to His Highness, and heaven and earth can tell. If Your Highness really doesn't believe it... I am willing to die to prove it!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, he suddenly grabbed the sword that Leng Ye held in front of him and drew it towards his neck.

He was very decisive this time, as if he was determined to die.

Leng Ye was startled, and when he tried to withdraw his sword, it was already too late.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Xiao Yuzi relaxed his hand and let go of the hand holding the sword.

At the critical moment, Murong Heng threw a chess piece in his hand and hit him on the back of his hand.

The force was so strong that he loosened his fingers in pain.

"Xiao Yuzi..."

Taoye looked at his bloody fingers and her heart trembled.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, could it be... could there be a mistake?"

She didn't believe that Xiao Yuzi would do such a thing!

He was obviously such a warm and gentle person, how could he do such a betrayal? She couldn't believe it!

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Yuzi leaned over and said in a low voice, with a hint of choking: "If Your Highness really doubts me, I have nothing to say."

"The poison on the persimmon cake is 'blood seals the throat'. It is in powder form, so it must be carried in a porcelain bottle with you. Do you want to search your body alone, or do you want to rummage through the East Palace?"

Murong Heng seemed to have lost his patience.

"You've always been smart, why are you still acting out this clumsy drama with Gu at this moment!"

He rarely showed his anger, but this time his eyes were dark and his body was full of murderous intent, which was extremely oppressive.

After Xiao Yuzi knelt for a long time, he stood up slowly and stiffly.

He raised his head tremblingly, met Murong Heng's cold and deep eyes, and then avoided his gaze.

"It's a slave."

These three words of "extremely low" caused the expressions of everyone in the hall to change drastically.

"why?"

Leng Ye couldn't help but said hastily: "Are you crazy? His Highness treats you well, why do you betray him!?"

Xiao Yuzi smiled sadly.

"This slave deserves to be killed or beheaded at your mercy."

"It's not easy to die."

Murong Heng chuckled lightly and returned to his usual cold demeanor: "I've told you what you need to tell me. I'll give you a treat for the sake of your dedicated service for so many years."

Xiao Yuzi said nothing, just lowered his eyes and knelt quietly.

Wei Tingshan was anxious.

"Speak! Oh, you are still stubborn now. I shouldn't have picked you up in the first place and trained you with all my heart for so many years. You... really let me down!"

At the end of his speech, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were filled with sadness and anger.

"Did not say?"

Murong Heng's eyes grew colder inch by inch: "Leng Ye, take him to the secret room and ask him slowly."

Leng Ye felt his heart twitch.

The secret room is a place in the East Palace where Murong Heng specializes in interrogating important enemies. It is used to deal with extremely tough enemies. Those who go in will not want to die. No matter how stubborn the man is, he will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

Xiao Yuzi also knew what kind of place it was, and his body froze for a moment.

But soon it returned to normal,

Leng Ye gritted his teeth, lifted Xiao Yuzi up, walked to the door, and opened the palace door.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind hit me.

Just for a while, the snow outside has been covered with a layer of white, looking pure and flawless.

Xiao Yuzi looked outside and suddenly thought that if he got up early tomorrow, the snow scene would be extremely beautiful.

But he was afraid that he would not be able to see this snowy scene.
