Helian Wei Wei strode over, with eyes like a dagger, she said: "I had noticed earlier, you have always been a patron on the Phoenix Teahouse and like drinking their tea. However, this time you brought your own teacup and didn't say anything. Your servant girl even brought your pot of water."

At those words, Helian Jiao Er froze!

She had originally wanted to use the corroding bone poison to launch her final attack. However, today she has been utterly humiliated!

She had lost the martial qi competition to this slut, but what's worse was that no one had ever felt disgusted with her up till now.

This was even more unbearable that killing her!

She had not thought that Helian Wei Wei would notice this detail, she regretted not foreseeing this!

The Retired Emperor was not a fool. Upon hearing this, his eyebrows furrowed in anger: "What the hell is going on?!"

Helian Jiao Er had forgotten about the Retired Emperor's presence. She realised the seriousness of the matter, and kneeled down shakily. She dragged along the servant girl by her side.

The servant girl said shakily: "Miss had been unwell in the recent days and it was not appropriate to drink tea. This slave had prepared a pot of water. However, this slave really does not know anything else."

"That is really a coincidence. Today's poisoning was obviously planned beforehand, your household's missy is unwell at the same time and cannot drink tea. You've brought your own water, and yet you pretend that you know nothing at all." Helian Wei Wei smiled and approached the servant girl slyly: "You tell me, such a story, would everyone believe it?"

Naturally no one believed it, they weren't fools. Especially the officials who were anxious to save lives of their dear ones. When they looked at Helian Jiao Er, their opinion of her had completely changed.

The Retired Emperor glared at Helian Jiao Er in anger!

Helian Jiao Er's heart was in a panic. She looked at Helian Mei who was writhing in pain on the ground and thought of something immediately: "Retired Emperor please investigate, if Jiao Er really knew something about this, then my own younger sister would not have been poisoned!"

Helian Mei was in so much pain she was unable to speak and could only listen to everything that was happening.

Hatred penetrated her mind.

No! Second sister was lying!

She knew that the tea was poisoned, that was why mother allowed her to bring her own teapot. Yet she didn't say anything to her and let her drink the poisoned tea! But there was no way to expose her. Because Helian Mei knew that if she spoke now, she would implicate her mother. She did not want to see that happen! She could only swallow the hatred.

Helian Jiao Er did not realise that at this point that as Helian Mei looked at her, she had already changed her opinion!

At this point, they still had not found out who was responsible for the poisoning. The officials did not care to know who did it, they only wished for Helian Wei Wei to help their grandchildren resolve the poison.

Helian Wei Wei did not appear to refuse helping them.

The Retired Emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Wei, tell me, what do you want in return for helping them resolve their poison?"

"As long as they admit to their crimes years ago and point out who was the mastermind." Helian Wei Wei's smile made everyone hold their breath.

This was impossible!
