rowned, muttering to herself, "If it wasn't Bai Feng, then who could it be"Feng Ming sat in front of her, "Perhaps the mysterious person who attacked us last night."Upon hearing Feng Ming mention this...To be honest, Li Ge'er's answer was beyond An Xue Tang's expectations. She had never imagined that the mastermind behind this would be Xi Zi Li.

At first, An Xuetang guessed it was Princess San, Mo Rongyan, or her husband, Xi Zibo.

But unexpectedly, the mastermind behind it all turned out to be Xi Zi Li, a little girl of only four or five years old who looked like a white rabbit.

She couldn't help but say that her impression of Xizi Li had become even deeper. At such a young age, she was not only ruthless but also incredibly intelligent, knowing how to use others to do her bidding!

It's no wonder she became the most beloved princess of the dog emperor. With her intelligence, it's not difficult for her to use a little cleverness to please the emperor.

After Li Ge'er revealed the truth, Jia cried bitterly. At this moment, she was afraid that the Northern Border King would really hurt a child and repeatedly kowtowed to Mo Yunjing and An Xue Tang, apologizing on Li Ge'er's behalf.

And Li Ge finally knew what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into. He was no longer trying to hide it, after all, there was nothing left to hide.

If he doesn't speak, he will truly be executed by the King of Beijiang today. He didn't do all this to die.

Finally understanding the truth of the matter, An Xue Tang looked at Mo Yun Jing. The two only exchanged a glance and immediately understood what was going on.

Early this morning, news of Princess Three and the Prince Consort seeking out trouble with the Northern Border Princess to avenge the princess of Xiliang Kingdom spread throughout the city according to An Xue Tang's plan.

Now, the people of the city are buzzing with talk about Princess Three and her husband's actions. Everyone is voicing their support for the valiant Northern Border princess who has been wronged.

Xizi Li's intention in this move is also to guide public opinion elsewhere, for example, by letting the world see An Xue Tang's 'cruel and vicious' side.

If Ming'er were to die here today, the world would think that this mysterious Northern Border Princess was just like her husband, the King of the Northern Border—cruel, ruthless, and vicious enough to harm even a child.

This way, the target of public anger will shift to An Xuetang. Those commoners who sympathized with Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang would naturally not gather in front of the Third Princess's palace anymore.

Not only that, but the common people will also forget An Xuetang's achievements in defeating the Dayue Kingdom. Their impression of her will only be guided by public opinion, remaining at the vicious image of someone who can even harm a child.

Thinking about this, An Xue Tang had to admit that she truly admired Xi Zi Li's clever mind.

But unfortunately, her little cunning wasn't enough to outsmart An Xue Tang.

At this moment, An Xuetang's icy eyes stared at Li Ge'er, "What's the matter with the person lying on the ground Did you poison him"

"No, no! I swear on my life, I didn't poison him! I really don't know, I truly have no idea why Mingge suddenly became poisoned. He was fine when he came up with us!"

When it came to this, Little Brother Li was about to cry. Big Brother Ming being poisoned, he truly didn't know about it. He had no idea Big Brother Ming had been poisoned at all.

After all, Xizi Li never said that today's events would result in a death. In his view, Xizi Li, a young child, just wanted to cause some trouble for people. How much trouble could she possibly make

He never would have thought that today's events would lead to a death. Before the monks arrived, he thought Mingge had fainted because of him acting out.

Before this group of people arrived, he was still sighing in his heart that Ming Ge'er's acting skills were really good. Who would have thought that Ming Ge'er was actually poisoned

An Xuetang knew he wasn't lying, but in order to get the answers she wanted, she narrowed her eyes suddenly.

"The poison was found on you, and now only you have the suspicion and motive. You even admitted it yourself – you dislike Ming Ge'er and envy him for always being praised by the schoolmasters."

Li Ge clenched his fists and pounded his chest in pain, painfully admitting:

"Yes, I dislike him. I even hate him. I hate that he always puts me down. I've been to school for a year longer than him, but why does he get the teacher's favor Why is his brain so smart that he can remember so much I'm jealous of him, I hate him!"

After finishing his words, Li Ge raised his head and stared intently into An Xue Tang's eyes:

"But I, Li Ge, have never poisoned him, and I've never even thought of poisoning him! If I'm lying, then let heaven punish me. May I be struck by lightning and sent to the 18 layers of hell for eternity, never to be reborn!"

Hearing what Elder Brother Li said, his mother Jia cried her eyes out. At this moment, she knelt and crawled to his side, hugging the trembling him in her arms:

"No...no, my dear son. Mother believes in you. My child is a good boy, you would never poison Ming'er. Don't say anymore, please don't."

People here believe in ghosts and gods, so they are very superstitious about phrases like “struck by lightning,” “go to hell,” and “suffer eternal torment in the underworld.”

Looking at the loving mother-daughter duo, An Xue Tang's peripheral vision caught something unknown. At this moment, her eyes became even colder.

After Mrs. Jia had held little Li Ge'er and cried her heart out, she didn't know what came over her. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked around, finally fixing her sharp gaze on the woman in the corner.

Jia's gaze turned dark and menacing. She pointed a finger at the woman, gritting her teeth as she spoke:

"It's you, it must be you who poisoned Ming Ge!"

There was an uproar among the crowd as they all turned to look at the woman in the corner. Coincidentally, An Xue Tang's gaze had been fixed on her the whole time.

Seeing Jia's gaze fixed on the woman, An Xuetang raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed like she was about to get the answer she desired soon.

The woman Jia pointed at was none other than Mingge'er's mother. While everyone discussed whether the poison in Mingge'er's body was indeed planted by Li ge'er, she remained as if unseen throughout the entire conversation, not uttering a single word.

An Xue Tang had noticed her a long time ago. When she first saw Ming Ge'er lying on the ground, her performance was truly like that of a bereaved mother who lost her son, crying with heart-wrenching agony and despair.

But her acting skills still couldn't escape the sharp eyes of An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang noticed early on that there was no real sadness in the woman's eyes when she cried.

Especially when she heard that Ming'er was still alive, disappointment, shock, and panic flashed across her eyes.

She thought she had hidden it well, but An Xuetang still caught her.

However, An Xue Tang didn't understand. She was Ming Ge er's mother, so why did she have such an expression Therefore, she could only take it step by step and silently observe the woman's every move.

If she were a normal mother, the moment Master Jianzhen discovered poison on Little Li's person, she should have rushed forward to kill him for revenge on her son.

Even if she wouldn't dare to kill him, she would definitely point at Brother Li and shout and scold him, but this woman didn't do any of that.you look like an idiot right now, it's kind of painful to look at. For the sake of not scaring everyone, please control yourself, okay""...""These words instantly extinguished Yunliu's smile. He retal...
