Chapter 275: State Banquet: Part Six

State Banquet: Part Six

Nie Jinxuan had already said it to this point; if one still didn't understand what was going on, then they were a fool!

And those who could attend the state banquet were all clear-headed. So after Nie Jinxuan said this, they all turned to look at Xiao Lanshu, their eyes filled with righteous indignation!

Of course, in the eyes of some envoys, being a princess, killing someone was not a very serious matter. But now that she had killed nine people as soon as she made a move, and the means were so cruel, and it was just to vent private anger, and more importantly, it was on Dongling's territory, this was somewhat unjustifiable!

Therefore, for a time, the large Imperial Garden became silent again. Everyone stared at Xiao Lanshu, waiting to see how she would refute!

Everyone was waiting, waiting to see how Xiao Lanshu would explain. Ba*Hejie, sitting on the side, had not made a sound, but his increasingly heavy expression had already slightly revealed his thoughts!

The silence continued, and feeling the surrounding gazes, Xiao Lanshu's face turned blue and white, and her originally beautiful large eyes stared at Nie Jinxuan in front of her like a poisonous snake, then she gritted her teeth and said,

"Nie Jinxuan, this attendant was indeed brought by this Princess from Xidi, but this Princess has already said before, what he does has nothing to do with this Princess!"

Every word, Xiao Lanshu wished she could squeeze the words out from between her teeth. But hearing this, Nie Jinxuan's expression sank, and then, as if she hadn't heard what Xiao Lanshu said, she continued to say loudly,

"And the matter does not end here! Just this morning, another shocking bloody case occurred outside the city! Bai Meilan, a concubine of the Chen Wangfu, was murdered, and all six servants in the same courtyard were also killed! And the way Bai Meilan died was exactly the same as the proprietress of Tianyuan Inn, Sun. She was also gouged of her eyes, had her tongue cut off, and her feet chopped off while alive, and even the thirty-six wounds on her body that reached the bone but were not fatal were exactly the same as Sun's!"

Speaking of Bai Meilan, Nie Jinxuan's voice revealed an uncontrollable anger. Although her friendship with Bai Meilan could not be called good, in any case, just because Bai Meilan could take the initiative to withdraw and fulfill her, she was grateful!

And now, Bai Meilan was living alone outside and had met a good person. Nie Jinxuan was also genuinely happy for her. She had even thought that if she got married, she would definitely give her a big gift. But she didn't expect that everything would be destroyed by Xiao Lanshu, who was beautiful but had a heart like a scorpion. How could Nie Jinxuan not be angry?!

Moreover, if Xiao Lanshu was dissatisfied with her, she could have come at her, Nie Jinxuan, but she used such a cruel method to retaliate against her. This was something Nie Jinxuan could not tolerate no matter what!

Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives. This is an old saying passed down from ancient times. So today, no matter what, she, Nie Jinxuan, would make this Xiao Lanshu pay in blood!

"The case of Sun was sealed at the time, and very few people knew the inside story, especially about Sun's cause of death and specific situation. So Princess Lanshu, you better explain to me, if these two cases were not done by you, who else could have done them?!"

Nie Jinxuan's gaze was like a knife. After the words fell, she stepped forward and came straight to Xiao Lanshu.

"Nine lives in the Tianyuan Inn bloody case, seven lives in the case of Miss Bai outside the city, adding up to sixteen lives... Xiao Lanshu, I tell you, don't think you can push everything onto your attendant. You must know that even if we take a step back, the attendant is yours, and now that he has committed a crime, the master is also hard to absolve from blame!"

If Nie Jinxuan had been thinking about the big picture before, now she didn't want to give Xiao Lanshu any face anymore!

Seventeen lives were buried in her hands just like that, and the means were so cruel. Nie Jinxuan would absolutely not forgive her!

And regarding Nie Jinxuan's interrogation, Xiao Lanshu had wanted to deny it to the death, but now it was different. Even if she didn't admit it, now in front of so many people, and with many envoys from neighboring countries, even if she denied it to the death, everyone must be clear in their hearts!

So thinking of this, Xiao Lanshu, who had been blue and white in the face because of Nie Jinxuan's words, instantly pursed her cherry-red lips, and then raised her eyebrows and laughed.

Xiao Lanshu's voice was very pleasant, but it revealed obvious arrogance! And after laughing, Xiao Lanshu's expression froze, and then she looked at Nie Jinxuan with her chin raised and said,

"Ah~! You are right! I had those people killed! But so what?"

Not taking everyone present into her eyes at all, at this moment, Xiao Lanshu was arrogant and self-important! Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan's eyes sharpened instantly.

"So what?! Hmph, Xiao Lanshu, have you already admitted that you committed these two cases?"

"Yes! It was done by this Princess! This Princess dares to act and dares to admit it, there is nothing to say!"

"You... why? Why did you do this?!"

"No reason, because this Princess is happy! Hmph~, besides, they were just a few lowly servants. It can be considered a blessing for them to die in the hands of this Princess..."

Xiao Lanshu spoke arrogantly, but before Xiao Lanshu could say the word 'happy', she was interrupted by a slap from Nie Jinxuan!

"Slap!"

Instantly, a clear slap sound rang out! At this moment, being hit by Nie Jinxuan, Xiao Lanshu was stunned. She raised her hand to cover her left cheek, then widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at Nie Jinxuan in front of her.

"You... you dare to hit me?!"

Xiao Lanshu didn't expect Nie Jinxuan to make a move, so after a moment, Xiao Lanshu shouted with a ferocious expression,

"Nie Jinxuan, you have such great courage! You actually dare to..."

"Princess?! I didn't hit a princess, I hit a vicious ghost who kills without blinking and has a heart like a scorpion!"

One sentence blocked Xiao Lanshu's rebuttal. Then Nie Jinxuan didn't waste any more words with her, took a step back, and raised her voice again,

"Xiao Lanshu, I once reminded you, this is Dongling, not your Xidi! And I don't care how noble you are in Xidi, but in Dongling, princes and commoners are equal before the law! And now, you have already admitted that you are the murderer of the two bloody cases..."

Having said this, Nie Jinxuan paused slightly, then without turning her head, she ordered the guards around her,

"Someone, take her down for me and throw her into the Heavenly Prison!"

Nie Jinxuan's voice was resonant and powerful! As the voice fell, the guards beside her immediately stepped forward...

One must know that those guards had all heard Nie Jinxuan's words clearly just now, and they were also gnashing their teeth in anger at Xiao Lanshu's vicious and outrageous behavior. So as soon as Nie Jinxuan gave the order, those guards rushed over impatiently, and then made a move to drag Xiao Lanshu down as if dragging a dead ghost!

Hmph, this stinky woman! Truly vicious to the extreme!

The guards cursed in their hearts, and the strength in their hands was not just holding, but clearly gripping tightly. But just then, just when the guards were about to drag Xiao Lanshu away, a loud voice suddenly erupted,

"Wait!"

The person who spoke was Ba*Hejie.

Clearly, having sat on the side for so long and watched for so long, Ba*Hejie finally couldn't sit still! After all, no matter how arrogant and domineering Xiao Lanshu was, she was a Xidi princess after all. If she were really pressed into the Heavenly Prison by Nie Jinxuan, how would he go back and explain to the Xidi sovereign?!

Therefore, as soon as the voice fell, Ba*Hejie stood up immediately, then smiled at Nie Jinxuan and said,

"I am Ba*Hejie, I wonder who this noble person is..."

Ba*Hejie had always been a cautious person. This time, coming from Xidi, although he came in a hurry, he had figured out some things about Dongling clearly!

Therefore, when Nie Jinxuan appeared so boldly, Ba*Hejie recognized her identity at a glance! After all, this was a state banquet, and to be able to walk out so directly on this occasion, with no one making a sound around her, and even the new sovereign of Dongling, who looked unfathomable, stood up and walked forward, besides that legendary third young lady of the Nie family, there could be no one else!

Ba*Hejie was quite polite, his gentle appearance revealing a bit of humility. But hearing this, Nie Jinxuan just turned her eyes and glanced at him.

Hmph~! Asking who she is at this time, is this reminding her to pay attention to her identity?

Ba*Hejie was shrewd, and Nie Jinxuan was not stupid. Thinking this in her heart, she secretly sneered, but her face remained motionless.

"So it is a guest from Xidi, Anguo greets you."

Nie Jinxuan directly returned the favor without politeness. After all, as a guest, it is better to speak less on the host's territory!

So hearing this, Ba*Hejie's face stiffened, but then he smiled.

"So it is Princess Anguo, I have long heard of the great name of Princess Anguo, seeing you today, it is truly well-deserved..."

"Thank you for the undeserved praise, Anguo truly does not dare to accept it! But since you are a noble guest of Xidi, Anguo has a few words to make clear to the noble guest."

Since the other party had spoken, Nie Jinxuan gave the other party an explanation by the way. So having said this, Nie Jinxuan moved her body slightly, then looked straight at Ba*Hejie and said,

"I presume the noble guest has heard Anguo's words just now clearly! Your country's Princess Lanshu, despising the law, killed more than ten lives of our Dongling people alive, and the means were cruel and outrageous. Although Princess Lanshu has a noble status, in Dongling, she must follow Dongling's rules. And now that she has committed such an intolerable act and is so arrogant, she must be sanctioned! So please, after you return to your country, tell your sovereign well!"

Nie Jinxuan said it very seriously. After the words fell, without waiting for Ba*Hejie to say anything more, she ordered the guards,

"Do it!"

"Yes!"

Just now, several guards were still a bit afraid, afraid that Nie Jinxuan would soften. Now, hearing Nie Jinxuan so persistent, they instantly grabbed Princess Lanshu and dragged her down!

Several guards were holding back anger in their hearts. At this moment, being held tightly by several guards, Princess Lanshu was stunned, and then shouted loudly,

"Nie Jinxuan, you have such great courage! I am a Xidi princess, if you dare to touch me, my Imperial Brother will definitely not let you go! Nie Jinxuan..." ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
