Chapter 276: State Banquet: Part Seven

State Banquet: Part Seven

Xiao Lanshu really didn't expect that Nie Jinxuan would actually dare to lay a hand on her!

Until her body was pressed tightly by the guards, Xiao Lanshu realized that Nie Jinxuan was serious!

So in an instant, a touch of fear arose in Xiao Lanshu's heart, but in the blink of an eye, she shouted with extreme anger.

She was the most noble princess of Xidi, how could Nie Jinxuan, this bitch, lay a hand on her?! How could she? How dare she!

So, Xiao Lanshu shouted again and again, but at this very moment, looking at Xiao Lanshu who was constantly roaring and struggling, Nie Jinxuan remained motionless, not saying a single word!

Everyone present was stunned by everything in front of them. Some admired Nie Jinxuan's courage, while others worried about the relationship between Dongling and Xidi...

And at this moment, Ba*Hejie was also somewhat anxious! But Princess Lanshu was still roaring and even cursing. At this moment, hearing Xiao Lanshu actually cursing Nie Jinxuan, Jin Jingwen, who had been standing behind Noble Consort Zhang, couldn't help it. She took a step forward and shouted at Xiao Lanshu,

"You vicious woman, shut up! Sister Jinxuan gives you face, and you think you are so noble?! Let me tell you, a woman like you, with a heart like a scorpion and vicious and shameless means, deserves to die!"

Although Jin Jingwen was young, she was full of momentum! As the voice fell, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Lanshu hard, then turned to Yin Fengzhan, who had been guarding Nie Jinxuan all along, and said,

"Your Majesty, you don't know, this vicious woman not only secretly sent her men to kill Bai Meilan and those palace servants the Dowager Consort rewarded to Bai Meilan, but even sent people to sneak into the Imperial Palace to poison Sister Jinxuan! And just now, if it weren't for Sister Jinxuan's good fortune, she would have already perished!"

Every word, Jin Jingwen said with great force. And Yin Fengzhan, who was already looking somewhat ugly because Xiao Lanshu was cursing Nie Jinxuan, widened his eyes instantly upon hearing that Xiao Lanshu had poisoned Nie Jinxuan.

"What did you say? Tell me in detail!"

Yin Fengzhan's voice was as cold as frost, and the sudden murderous aura made people feel terrified! At this moment, Jin Jingwen was not afraid at all, and told everything that had happened in the Yongle Palace one by one!

As the voice fell, Jin Jingwen turned and pointed directly at Xiao Lanshu.

"Scorpion grass is unique to Xidi, and you have long found Sister Jinxuan unpleasant and had the motive, so besides you, no one would do such a thing! Even if that palace maid is dead, heaven is clear, and you don't want to deny it!"

Everyone already knew about the previous two cases, but they didn't expect that besides these two bloody cases, there was something else!

Moreover, in the previous two cases, although many people died, they were ultimately just commoners as Xiao Lanshu said. But Nie Jinxuan was different. Now everyone knew that Nie Jinxuan was the Empress candidate designated by Dongling and was pregnant with the dragon heir, so the crime of poisoning Nie Jinxuan was huge!

So for a time, everyone's complexion changed! Some straightforward Dongling ministers stared at Xiao Lanshu with livid faces, trembling with anger, and Ba*Hejie, who had just thought of a rhetoric, was no better. He stared at Jin Jingwen in a daze, and then turned to look at Xiao Lanshu.

Killing commoners had room for maneuver, but now poisoning Nie Jinxuan was...

Thinking of this, Ba*Hejie only felt dizzy. And just when everyone was shocked, Xiao Lanshu, who was being held tightly by the guards, was stunned. She looked at Jin Jingwen in a daze, and then after a long while, she finally came back to her senses.

"You... what are you talking about? What poisoning?"

Xiao Lanshu was somewhat confused, and looking at her dazed appearance made Jin Jingwen feel incomparably disgusted.

"Hmph! Xiao Lanshu, don't pretend to be innocent! If you didn't poison her, who else could it be?!"

"I... I didn't!"

"Still not admitting it?!"

Thinking of how Nie Jinxuan had almost lost her life, Jin Jingwen was burning with anger! Being glared at by her, Xiao Lanshu completely recovered. She pushed the guards beside her hard and shouted at the top of her lungs,

"You bitch, you actually dare to frame this Princess?! Let me tell you, if this Princess did it, she did it. I admit to the previous two cases! But this Princess has never poisoned that bitch Nie Jinxuan! You..."

Xiao Lanshu hated others framing her the most in her life. For a time, even her face changed! But just then, before she could finish her words, a roar exploded instantly,

"Shut up!"

The voice carried thunderous anger and terrifying momentum. In just an instant, the entire Imperial Garden was silent!

The person who spoke was Yin Fengzhan. At this moment, everyone closed their mouths, and even held their breath! Then they saw Yin Fengzhan, who had been standing aside without making a sound, turn his deep and cold eyes, sweep his cold and terrifying gaze over everyone present, and walk to Nie Jinxuan's side.

"Are you hurt?"

Lowering his voice slightly, Yin Fengzhan looked at Nie Jinxuan with a heavy face. Meeting his eyes, Nie Jinxuan knew he was worried, so she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Hmm!"

Knowing that Nie Jinxuan was fine, Yin Fengzhan finally felt relieved, and then said again,

"Let Shui Yun take you back, leave the rest to me!"

"Okay!"

Knowing that Yin Fengzhan was going to intervene, Nie Jinxuan nodded readily. After all, she had already said everything clearly about the case, so she believed Yin Fengzhan would handle this matter well!

At this moment, while Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan were talking, Shui Yun and Jin Jingwen walked over, supported Nie Jinxuan, and turned to leave.

Seeing Nie Jinxuan leave, Noble Consort Zhang also nodded to Yin Fengzhan, and then followed Nie Jinxuan, taking Consort Li, Qiu Pingting, and others who had followed over, and retreated.

Nie Jinxuan and the others finally left. The Imperial Garden was still suffocatingly quiet. At this time, watching Nie Jinxuan leave, Yin Fengzhan turned around and walked toward Xiao Lanshu step by step...

Yin Fengzhan said nothing, but his peerless, handsome face was now so gloomy that it made people feel cold in their hearts. Even the arrogant and domineering Xiao Lanshu trembled instantly, instinctively wanting to retreat!

But just as she retreated a step, she saw Yin Fengzhan flash, and then he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lanshu by the neck.

In an instant, Xiao Lanshu felt bone-chilling pain and suffocation attacking her overwhelmingly.

"Woo woo... let... let go..."

Xiao Lanshu struggled constantly, and her pretty face, which had been flushed with anger, had already turned blue-purple! But at this moment, Yin Fengzhan just held her with one hand and said coldly,

"Do you want her to die?"

Yin Fengzhan's voice was low without a trace of fluctuation, but it made people tremble for no reason, feeling cold in their hearts! So hearing this, Xiao Lanshu, while struggling, shook her head reflexively and desperately,

"No... no... it's not me... I... I didn't poison her..."

"Do you want her to die?"

Yin Fengzhan did not ask if it was Xiao Lanshu, or if she was the one who used the scorpion grass, but just repeated this sentence! At this moment, Xiao Lanshu, who had already been choked to the point of suffocation by Yin Fengzhan, could no longer speak, and could only use her last bit of strength to shake her head, shake her head constantly.

Xiao Lanshu was afraid, truly afraid!

The man in front of her was not human, he was a demon! A demon from hell! He never showed mercy, terrifying like the King of Hell from the underworld!

Xiao Lanshu trembled constantly and struggled desperately. At this moment, looking at the woman who was about to stop breathing, Yin Fengzhan's eyes flashed instantly.

"You deserve to die!"

As the voice fell, Yin Fengzhan raised his hand and threw her, instantly throwing Xiao Lanshu to the end of the state banquet red carpet!

Thud!

A dull sound rang in their ears. In an instant, everyone present lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.

The surroundings were still dead silent. At this time, Lian Feng on the side flashed forward, touched Xiao Lanshu's breath, and then shook his head at Yin Fengzhan.

Xiao Lanshu was not dead. Of course, this was Yin Fengzhan's intention!

At this moment, Yin Fengzhan, standing in place, stared coldly at the woman lying on the ground in a faint, and then said in a voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice,

"The Xidi Princess, for no reason, cruelly harmed more than ten of our Dongling people, and poisoned our Dongling Empress and my heir, a heinous crime. Drag her out and execute her by lingchi!"

Yin Fengzhan would not make a move if he didn't have to, but once he did, he would definitely be ruthless!

Only, no one expected that he would actually execute Xiao Lanshu by lingchi at the state banquet!

After all, even if Xiao Lanshu was heinous, she was a Xidi princess and the younger sister of the new Xidi sovereign. Therefore, once a move was made against Xiao Lanshu, it meant a complete break with Xidi!

So for a time, everyone present was stunned, except for the Dongling ministers. After all, perhaps others didn't know Yin Fengzhan's temperament, but these Dongling ministers all knew that this new master had one dead spot that absolutely could not be touched, and that was Nie Jinxuan!

One must know that he didn't even care about this vast empire back then, and if it weren't for Nie Jinxuan, he wouldn't have ascended the throne at all. But now, a Xidi princess actually killed people to provoke Nie Jinxuan, and even poisoned her?!

Hmph, let alone executing her by lingchi, even if he were to mobilize troops north immediately to flatten Xidi, the Dongling ministers present wouldn't find it strange at all!

The Dongling ministers collectively shut their mouths, and not one stood up to say anything about the relationship between the two countries or provoking war. Seeing this, the envoys from neighboring countries, who were already terrified, were even more shocked and speechless!

At this moment, just as everyone was either lowering their heads and shutting their mouths or dumbfounded, several guards dragged the unconscious Xiao Lanshu away... Seeing this, Ba*Hejie on the side finally came back to his senses.

"Wait!"

With a loud shout, as the voice fell, Ba*Hejie hurriedly came to Yin Fengzhan, bowed deeply, and said,

"Respected Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dongling, please calm your anger! Regarding Princess Lanshu, I have more to say, please allow me, Your Majesty!" ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
