Four Lifetimes Dream

Li Sheng didn't intend to end it there. She smiled calmly, then handed the so-called evidence in her hand back to Su Yuan and continued:

"Since the princess said so, I remembered something. I heard that Mu Ci never confessed his guilt during the previous trials. Why did he suddenly confess now? Looking at the scars all over his body, I have reason and the right to doubt whether he confessed the crime willingly or you tortured him into confessing."

The fingerprints on the indictment were real, but she didn't believe that Luo Ci Yan would confess on his own initiative!

Given his character, he would never do anything to murder Li Yin!

If he didn't do it, why would he plead guilty?

But if the confession was obtained under torture, it is hard to understand!

She knew Luo Ci Yan. He was the kind of person who would rather die than surrender. He would not admit to a crime that was not his just for a little punishment.

As for why he finally pleaded guilty, this was something Li Sheng couldn't understand.

"Miss Qi, you are joking. It is inevitable to use some torture during the trial. Besides, Miss Qi just saw that Mu Ci pressed his fingerprints voluntarily. There is no such thing as a confession under torture!"

Su Yuan's answer was flawless.

After listening to this, Li Sheng couldn't help but admire Su Yuan's qualifications to be the heroine. Nowadays, if you don't have some skills, you really can't be the heroine!

But... a little more punishment?

Li Sheng looked at the scars on Luo Ci Yan's body, and the coldness in her eyes became even stronger!

This was clearly the rhythm of beating someone to death, and she, Su Yuan, called this a slight punishment? !

It’s just nonsense!

"Okay!" Li Sheng nodded and stopped worrying about this issue.

"It's just that I'm not satisfied with the answer you gave to the second question. Please explain it to me again!"

Although Li Sheng looked nonchalant at the moment, Su Yuan felt that her words gave people an irrefutable aura!

"..."Su Yuan met Li Sheng's indifferent yet deep eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably had an urge to tremble!

"Just now the princess said that Luo Country also has Netherworld Grass. I agree, but the one who got it wrong is you, the eldest princess!"

Li Sheng spoke slowly, but every word that followed was striking at Su Yuan's calmness!

"The Dark Grass from Luo Country was sent to your Li Country as a birthday gift for Princess Jin Ning seventeen years ago. So now, the only people in the world who own the Dark Grass are the royal family of your Li Country. Princess, please tell me, how could Mu Ci, a native of Luo Country, have something from your royal family?"

"Miss Qi, you are too absolute. You said that Luoguo gave the Netherworld Grass to Liguo. Do you have any evidence? With just your one-sided statement, why should this princess believe you?"

Su Yuan seemed calm on the surface, but deep down, she was actually starting to get nervous.

After all, she didn't have much memory of what happened seventeen years ago.

She only remembered that everyone was celebrating the arrival of that little bitch Jin Ning, and she herself was feeling very upset at the time. How could she have the energy to pay attention to any gifts?

"Puchi..." Li Sheng couldn't help but covered his mouth and sneered, then said,

"Princess, don't you think you look stupid for asking this? When the former emperor of Luo presented gifts, everyone was shocked. Not to mention that this matter was recorded in the palace gift account, as the eldest princess of Li, don't you claim to be fair, just and open? The gifts presented by everyone back then were later announced to the world. Seventeen years ago, you were almost six years old, so you should be able to remember things, right?"

After Li Sheng said this, the younger people present might not know about it, but the older people still had some impression of it.

They had indeed seen the Nether Grass in the gift list published that year, and the person who gave the gift was none other than the former emperor of Luo State!

Because the Nether Grass is rare, it caused heated discussion for a while at that time!

Just as Su Yuan was thinking about how to respond, Li Sheng's words rang out again in the court:

"Princess, please don't tell me that Mu Ci stole your Li country's Netherworld Grass. Who in the world doesn't know that your Li country's treasure house is so big that not even a fly can fly in, except for people from your royal family?"

Li Sheng continued to speak with a smile,

“Even if Mu Ci has three heads and six arms, can he still withstand the thousands of elite guards in your treasure pavilion and the life-killing formation that kills people invisibly? Even if he really has the ability, he can’t escape unscathed!”

"But in recent days, there has been no news of the theft of the Dark Nether Grass in the palace. So, Princess, it is still unknown whether the Dark Nether Grass was stolen by someone in your royal family. Now that you are so anxious to convict Mu Ci, it is hard not to suspect that you have ulterior motives!"

When Li Sheng said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. This was too bold!

Just the words "embezzlement" are enough to charge her with contempt for the imperial power!

She actually dared to confront the eldest princess of the dynasty. Isn't she seeking death?

Sure enough, the next second, Su Yuan was furious: "How dare you!"

Then she threw the cup in her hand hard at Li Sheng to show her anger.

Li Sheng took two steps back calmly, and the cup broke into pieces at her feet with a "crack".

In a flash, except for Luo Ci Yan who was already kneeling and Li Sheng who was standing, all the others knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe!

But others are afraid of Su Yuan's anger, but Li Sheng is not:

"Princess, don't be so angry. As the saying goes, the innocent are innocent. Why are you so excited? Moreover, it is said that when the princess arrested the man, she had no evidence in her hand. So how can you determine that it was Mu Ci who did it?"

Even the medicinal residue was only found in Luo Ci Yan’s yard after he was arrested!

This was the first time she had seen someone being arrested without any evidence!

"Furthermore, from that day on, the princess did not allow anyone to visit her. May I ask if this is reasonable? Or did you intend to slander Mu Ci before that and did not allow anyone to visit her because you felt guilty?"

Li Sheng refused to give in and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter in life.

Those who were kneeling were already sweating profusely, and after hearing what she said, they lowered their heads even lower, fearing that the fire would burn them in the next second!

"Miss Qi, based on what you said, I have the power to punish you for slandering the royal family!"

Su Yuan was even more furious.

"Moreover, Mu Ci has already pleaded guilty. What exactly do you intend to do by disrupting the court? Based on this, this princess still has the power to bring you to justice!"

"Slander?" Li Sheng laughed disdainfully, "Princess, whether it is slander or not, I think you know it better than anyone else..."

But before Li Sheng could finish her words, she was interrupted by Luo Ci Yan, who had been silent the whole time.

"Enough!" Luo Ci Yan looked at her, the forbearance and struggle in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Qi Ran, that's enough! I did all this, no one framed me, go back!"

"Have you lost your mind?" Li Sheng turned around and looked at him, his face full of disbelief!

She has known him for seven years. How could she not know whether he would do such a thing?

"I did it, and I miscalculated that I failed to kill Li Yin. I have nothing to say!" Luo Ci Yan met her gaze, gritted his teeth, and spoke coldly.
