Ning Guogong's face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were gloomy, almost dripping with water.
All the ministers in the palace also shrank their necks and did not dare to breathe.
They all saw clearly that the Emperor was devoted to the Queen. Anyone who dared to go against the Queen, even the Emperor, would definitely not end well.
Duke Ning Guo wanted to operate on the girl next to the Queen and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Unexpectedly, the emperor took the initiative and operated on several of the guards to scare the old monkey, Duke Ning!
On the cusp of this crisis, anyone who continues to stand in line with Ning Guogong is ignorant of practical matters.
The ministers unanimously took a few steps back and stayed far away from Ning Guogong to show that they had absolutely nothing to do with him.
"A bunch of wallflowers who just follow the wind, bah!"
Duke Ning Guo had a clear view of everyone's expressions and cursed fiercely in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He took a step forward without being humble or arrogant: "Your Majesty, this girl expressed her willingness to be punished to show her innocence. It's not that I want to be beaten into submission. Zhaorong suffered such a crime and humiliation today. I just want to return her innocence and confirm that this matter is true. It has nothing to do with this girl, I am willing to personally apologize to Miss Xiaoru."
What he said was reasonable and reasonable. With the dignity of his country, he was actually willing to apologize to a slave. This was already a huge honor for Xiao Rutian.
But both Shen Ning and Mo Chuan understood what he meant and still insisted on torture Xiaoru.
Shen Ning raised her eyebrows, half-smiling: "My lord, if you want to prove whether what happened today is related to Xiao Ru, you don't have to use the torture stick. In fact, there is a simplest way. It proves that Xiao Ru has absolutely nothing to do with this matter.”
"Oh, simple method, what is it?" Ning Guogong also raised his eyebrows and confronted Shen Ning.
"Since the Duke and the Princess suspect that the problem lies in this bowl of sobering soup, I will come to confirm whether there is anything wrong with this bowl of sobering soup."
Shen Ning walked to Princess Zhaorong's table in a few steps, picked up the bowl of hangover soup, raised her head without hesitation, and drank every drop of it.
"Your Majesty, the Princess, are you relieved now?" She showed the empty bowl to the two of them.
“…”
Duke Ning Guo and Princess Zhaorong were stunned and speechless.
This move was clean and beautiful and blocked their mouths immediately.
"My lord, according to my opinion, it would be better for you to quickly find a way to treat the princess, rather than suspecting that someone wants to harm the princess. Not to mention that the princess has special skills, if there is really someone She would be the first to notice if a leopard tried to harm her after eating it, not to mention that today there were all the courtiers in the room, and under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, it might not be that simple to poison the princess! "
Shen Ning's voice became clearer and more melodious, and she spoke so eloquently that all the ministers nodded their heads.
"What the Queen said is right."
"Yes, yes, who has the courage to poison Princess Zhaorong in front of so many people? That's impossible!"
"The Queen has personally confirmed that all of this is just the Duke's speculation, and it is all based on nothing."
The county ministers all spoke in agreement with Shen Ning's words.
Two thoughts were at war in Ning Guogong's mind. He knew very well that Zhaorong's illness probably had nothing to do with Shen Ning, and the problem was probably with himself.
