Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Gu Qingxue had made the thirteenth princess talk so easily, Judge Wu could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, he silently stood to the side with Nanny Bi Zhu, watching Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue’s look of grievance as the thirteenth princess made her feel that this princess was beyond funny. Was the thirteenth princess joking? Lil t Han’s attitude toward Lingbao was like a little brother playing with a little sister. Besides, they were still children, and they did not have any feelings for each other. The thirteenth princess was obviously overthinking.
Seeing Gu Qingxue’s lips curl up, the thirteenth princess immediately pressed, “What are you laughing at? I didn’t say anything wrong, so you’re not allowed to laugh!’
“Your Highness, I don’t care what your purpose is. At that time, it was indeed you who gave the perfume bag with the poisonous insect to the young prince, causing His Highness to be poisoned while protecting the young prince. You have to tell me where this sachet came from, or else the prince regent’s residence will not let this matter go so easily. Princess, please think twice.” Gu Qingxue used the calmest tone to say the words that terrified the thirteenth princess.
The thirteenth princess was so frightened that her eyes were filled with tears. “It was, it was given to me by a beautiful woman. She was wearing an orange-colored dress… She said she had a way to make Lil t Han like me, and I believed her. I wanted to give the sachet to Lil’Han but I didn’t know there was a poisonous insect in it. I just wanted Lil’Han to like me.”
The thirteenth princess sobbed, but the words she said made Gu Qingxue and the others’ expressions change.
“In this case, that woman had wanted to do something to the young prince from the beginning. Thirteenth Princess, do you still remember what that woman looked like?” Judge Wu hurriedly asked.
Judge Wu already had a fierce look on his face, and now that he was looking at the thirteenth princess with an urgent expression, he looked even more terrifying.
The thirteenth Princess was frightened by Judge Wu r s expression. Her face turned pale, and she could not even give a reply.
“Judge Wu, you’re too fierce. You’ve scared the princess.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she gently fell in love with her eyes and said, “There aren’t many women wearing long, orange dresses at the banquet. We can start with them. Your Highness, please go down and identify them.
“I was in the main hall just now,” the thirteenth princess said weakly. “I kept looking for that person, but she’s gone. 1 couldn’t find her.”
“In other words, that woman has already left. Nanny Vi Zhu, may I ask who left halfway through the palace banquet?” Judge Wu looked at Nanny Bi Zhu and asked.
“It seems that only the concubine by Prince Hengs side left early because she were not feeling well. However, she’s just a concubine and it’s against the rules for Prince Heng to bring her to the palace banquet. The empress dowager didn’t say anything when she found out, and this old servant isn’t sure if she’s wearing an orange-colored dress.” At that time, Nanny Bi Zhu had only heard the news of Gu Lingyue’s departure, As for what Gu Lingyue looked like, what she wore, and what she meant, she really did not know.
“It’s her. Your Highness, look at me carefully. Did you think the woman you saw looks a bit like me?” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she moved her face closer to the thirteenth princess..
