A Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 7: Being Suspicious

"Impudent!" The Empress expression changed. "Such smart mouth that is used to spout nonsense, it seems that if there is no torture you will not speak the truth!!"

Qing Feng gritted her teeth and her body has shrunk to a small ball, nevertheless, she did not cry out for mercy but with a trace of hoarse voice coldly exclaimed, "I did not poison."

She cannot and will not admit to it. Even if they were to break her arm, she will not admit to it!!

Yan Hong Tian coldly look at the female on the ground, whose pain made her already fair face even paler and her lips bitten red but the unyielding look in her eyes did not change. Accidentally broke a vase? She have the nerve to say that. Other than her stubbornness, her ability to lie brazenly is not weak. Yan Hong Tian withdrew his line of sight, a faint grim laughter cross his dark eyes but it did not show a shred of pity.

She is obviously a lowly servant but she still showed a distinguish staunch look. Xin Yue Ning humph and shouted, "Bengong do like to see till when you will talk tough till! Someone come!"

Three eunuch-looking male immediately came forward to receive the orders. Qing Feng felt a sudden fear, she grit her teeth and made up her mind. She will not say a single word even upon death!

Just as the eunuch was about to pick up Qing Feng, a low clear voice sounded unhurriedly, "May the Empress quell her anger. Don't be angry because of a palace maid. Why not hand her over to Official Dan and let him hold a hearing. This will also help you to avoid getting angry and harming your health."

Qing Feng is unable to see the owner of the voice but she was able to see the darken expression on the Empress face. Even so, her tone of voice was totally different from that before, she put on a touch of smile and gracefully nodded while replying, "Nevertheless, Prime Minister Lou is thoughtful. Hand these people over to Official Dan then."

Qing Feng and a few eunuchs were taken to the side of the Palace Hall. She eventually had the opportunity to clearly look at how the owner of that voice look like. It was handsome man, wearing a light blue robe and purple gold hairpin. That elegant posture and calm deposition made him seem like not like those from the official court. Hearing the Empress calling him Prime Minister Lou just now and with her courteous attitude, he should be Lou Xi Yan. He is indeed refined, gentle and pure. Qing Feng gave a comforting smile, Elder Sister will not suffer when she follow him!

"What are you doing?" Xu Xun Si bellowed in the Palace Hall. Qing Feng turned her head to look and only saw Dan Yu Lan squatting by the Seventh Princess, his hand that was at the Seventh Princess dress will clutched tightly by Xu Xun Si.

Dan Yu Lan stood rigidly there and explained, "The Seventh Princess was poison to death and an autopsy should be conducted early so that evidence can be preserved earlier.

His brows furrowed again, the usually refine Xu Xun Si started to get angry, "You said that Seventh Sister died due to poison and there was poison in the wine. And you still want to do an examination."

"Third Prince, do rest assure, I will be only doing a normal autopsy examination. Verifying the corpse appearance, recording if there are any more wounds or other, to prepare for an investigation case and will not harm the Princess' corpse. If the Third Prince do not feel at ease, please observe it at the side."

Xu Xun Si's face was scarily black, "So this means that you want to strip her clothes to examine?"

Dan Yu Lan with an air of righteousness and non pretentiously replied, "Yes."

"No way!" Xu Xun Si roared! Gently lowering the Seventh Princess body, Xu Xun Si took off his external robe and covered the corpse and stood in the middle of the Palace Hall, across Dan Yu Lan and faced Yan Hong Tian before clearly said, "We Northern Qi is a small country but Seventh Sister is nonetheless the most distinguished Princess in our nation. I will absolutely not allow a male to do that to her body. If she were to know it after death, she will too feel the humiliation!"
