The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

It was not until the black figure lit the candles in the room that Si Yao could see through his fingers that the person who came was Hong Xing, her personal maid. Only then did she feel relieved.

Hong Xing stepped forward with a worried look on her face and asked softly, "Saint, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare again?"

Unexpectedly, Si Yao became angry and slapped her in the face, "Bitch, didn't I tell you not to put out the candles in the room?"

Hong Xing covered her swollen face, her eyes full of grievance as she quietly defended herself: "All the candles were clearly lit just now." She glanced at the open window and said: "It was the wind outside that blew out all the candles..."

But this sentence actually aroused Si Yao's anger. She pulled Hong Xing's hair and cursed her fiercely: "You lowly thing, you dare to talk back? If I hadn't taken you in, you would be just a small foot-washing maid now, and you wouldn't have the glory of being a big maid today. Why don't you go and get some more candles?"

There was a hint of viciousness in Hong Xing's eyes, but on the surface she still looked respectful and was about to get up to get a candle.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the candle that had just been lit was blown out, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness again.

huh-huh-

There came a gust of cold wind outside the window, making a horrible, low sound, as if countless grievances were being complained about.

The next second, a pale figure floated in from the window. Looking closely at her hands and feet, they were all broken.

"Murderer, give me back my life, give me back my hands, give me back my feet, give them back to me now!"

The cold voice sounded like a demon from hell coming to claim one's life, making one's hair stand on end.

Hong Xing's psychological defenses were breached first. She covered her head and trembled as she said, "Is this Miss Yi? She's here to seek revenge!"

When the name Second Miss Yi came out, it was like a sharp blade, madly stimulating Si Yao's nerves.

God knows this was her first time killing someone, and the bloody scene kept echoing in her mind and would not go away.

Her voice was trembling to the extreme: "Ah! Don't come over here, I was wrong, I shouldn't have killed you, let alone cut off all your hands and feet, but I just..."

But before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang, and the door was broken open by someone from outside.

The ghost disappeared without a trace the moment the door was knocked open.

The candlelight outside helped Si Yao, who was in extreme panic, to calm down a little. But when she saw the person coming, an even more terrifying chill spread directly from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She just thought, it’s over!

The Emperor of Northern Zhou was standing in the middle with an angry look on his face, and besides his personal guards, Yi Chengzhou was following him.

Yi Chengzhou's eyes were pure black, his whole body radiated anger, his eyes were like knives cutting into Si Yao, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the Saint of Dongfan came to our Northern Qi this time, it must be because our country refused to lend us military supplies, deliberately disturbing our country's peace.

It is a pity that my sister is innocent and has become a pitiful victim. I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for my sister. "

When the Duke of Qi came to him to talk about this matter before, he was still skeptical, thinking that borrowing military rations was a matter of state. How could Dongfan, a big country, be so despicable as to deal with an unarmed weak woman?

But there is still no clue about his sister's death. In order to find out the truth as soon as possible and let his sister rest in peace.

That's why he risked being beheaded and broke into the palace late at night to invite the emperor here.

"Yi Chengzhou, if I don't gain anything tonight, I will definitely take off your head."

This is what the Emperor of Northern Qi said to him when he promised him to leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, his life was saved, but when he heard the cause of his sister's death from Si Yao, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

It turned out that it was because of his uprightness that his sister died so tragically, but he did not regret it. He made this decision for the people of Northern Qi.

He directed all his hatred towards Si Yao, wishing to tear her bones and skin her alive.

At this time, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Shen Wanwei also hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, when I interrogated Princess Qi Ning recently, she said that when she was arguing with the Saint of Dongfan, she suddenly felt a mysterious force pulling her hand and stabbing the dagger at King Xuan.

At that time, only the Saint of Dongfan was holding Princess Qi Ning tightly. It must be her who deliberately stabbed His Royal Highness Prince Xuan in an attempt to disrupt our government."

Of course, Qi Ning said this only after Zhou Zheng's guidance.

Yi Chengzhou also said passionately, "Your Majesty, Dongfan first tortured and killed my sister, causing the people of the capital to panic and disturbing social stability. Now he stabbed King Xuan because of the turmoil in the court of our Northern Qi. His intention is to kill him.

I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Saintess of Dongfan and let Dongfan know that we, the great country of Northern Qi, are not so easy to bully."

Hearing the accusations of the two, Si Yao felt his mind go blank. He knelt down and defended himself, "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense. It was clearly Qi Ning who held the dagger and deliberately stabbed King Xuan. It was her evil ambition. The outsiders are innocent!"

Her hair was disheveled at this moment, and traces of tears from being scared by the ghost were still on her face. She didn't look like the noble and dignified saint she usually was, but she didn't care about her manners at this moment.

Although she didn't know why Shen Wanwei wanted to push the blame of stabbing King Xuan onto her, she knew that once she confessed, Xuan Yuxing would make her life a living hell, so she could only grit her teeth and refuse to admit it.

After hearing Si Yao's excuse, Yi Chengzhou asked with a burning gaze, "What about my sister? Do you dare to say that her death has nothing to do with you? We heard everything you said just now clearly outside the door, and you will not be allowed to quibble."

"No, I didn't say that just now. She said it. She killed your sister."

As Si Yao spoke, he pulled out Hong Xing, who had been hiding aside.

Hong Xing was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stared blankly at Si Yao who had pushed her out. “Saint!” She waved her hands quickly, “No, it wasn’t me.”

"You were the one who said those words in the room just now. If you continue to behave like this, you will bring shame to your parents and brothers."

Si Yao yelled, his words full of threats, the implication being that if you don't do as I say, your parents and brothers will all die.

Hong Xing was stunned for a moment, then she kowtowed heavily to the Emperor of Northern Qi several times.

Si Yao was delighted, thinking that Hong Xing understood what she meant and was going to take all the responsibility on herself.

But she forgot that everyone has the instinct to survive, and when faced with a real life-and-death situation, most people would choose to save themselves first.
