Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 77
Under everyone's attention, Zhao Yuanxiang got up slowly, and said with a smile: "It should be that the hem of the skirt is missing."

Her tone was calm, and she didn't seem to understand the dangerous situation in front of her at all.Seeing her so calm appearance, someone laughed secretly, this wild girl who has never seen the world must have not thought that her head will fall off soon!
Although Zhao Yuanxiang had personally admitted that a piece of the skirt was missing, a palace maid still took the piece of cloth and came to Zhao Yuanxiang's side to compare.Sure enough, a missing piece was found at the hem of Zhao Yuanxiang's skirt, and the gap was just enough to match the rag!
Obviously, that piece of cloth did come from Zhao Yuanxiang's body!
Zhao Yuanxiang only lowered his eyes and thought to himself, this piece of cloth should have been secretly cut off when she was sitting in front of Concubine Jin's dressing table.Only at that time, the hem of the skirt was pressed under the chair, and she didn't feel that slight strangeness at all.

Both Zhao Cheng and the old lady's complexion changed, especially the old lady's face was as pale as paper, full of anger and embarrassment.She stared at Zhao Yuanxiang in disbelief, but saw that Zhao Yuanxiang's expression was as calm as usual, especially those calm eyes, like a thousand feet deep pool.

The old lady's heart suddenly calmed down. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that this granddaughter would do such a cruel thing as murder.

She was silent for a while, then stood up abruptly, and said respectfully to the emperor and empress: "Your majesty, empress empress, Yuan Xiang is by no means such a cruel person, there must be something wrong with this matter, and the emperor please investigate carefully!"

Zhao Yuanxiang looked at the old lady in surprise, although she knew that the old lady was speaking not only for her, but also for the reputation of the prime minister's mansion, but it was enough to surprise her.

The old lady opened her mouth, so Zhao Cheng couldn't just sit still, so he also got up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this daughter of my humble minister grew up in the countryside, maybe there are still some shortcomings in etiquette, but she is not a good person. Absolutely simple and kind, it is absolutely impossible to do such a life-threatening thing, I also ask the emperor to send someone to investigate this matter!"

Zhao Cheng has a high position and authority. He said so, and some officials who depended on him also echoed.

The emperor sat on a high position, condescendingly looking down at Zhao Yuanxiang with a calm face.If it were someone else, he could order the beheading with this evidence alone.But Zhao Yuanxiang is the daughter of Zhao Cheng, so he has to be more cautious, otherwise, if he hurts the heart of a loyal minister, there may be endless troubles.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "This matter really needs to be investigated in detail." After a pause, he looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and said, "Since Liu Aiqing is here, I will leave this matter to you."

Liu Shangshu quickly got up to accept the order, and immediately went to An's promised residence.

Concubine Jin was a little worried, and wanted to follow her to have a look, but she saw Zhao Yuanxiang standing beside her and looking at her with a smile.There was undisguised mischief and coldness in those eyes, which made Concubine Jin feel a chill down her spine involuntarily.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yuanxiang had already looked away and sat down slowly.

It's already this time, why is this bitch still so calm?Isn't she afraid of death?Or... Concubine Jin frowned, feeling even more apprehensive. Sure enough, she had to go and see with her own eyes.

She looked at the emperor and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, I want to go and have a look. I will be by her side when An promises to die. If Liu Shangshu has any questions, I can answer them."

"Why does the concubine Jin go there in person?" Xuanyuan Yu who had been watching the play suddenly said, looking in Zhao Yuanxiang's direction with both eyes, and said lightly, "An promises that the maid beside her must know everything better than the empress."
