"How could you be poisoned when you were fine that day? Dad heard that your life in the palace was worse than that of a servant, but someone in the palace wanted to harm you?" Xia Zhihe guided the conversation while deliberately glancing at An. Prince, as if he was hinting at something.
"Father, no, my daughter is living a good life in the palace." Xia Luotong said softly, with a weak and innocent look on her face.
"Then why did Dad hear that the place where you live is not even as good as a servant? In order to have food, you have to grow vegetables in the yard?" Xia Zhihe said while glaring at Prince An, and then coaxed and comforted, "You Don't be afraid, not only will your father stand up for you today, but the emperor will also make the decision. You are the emperor's royal gift for your marriage, so you cannot allow others to humiliate you."
"No, dad, the prince actually... actually takes good care of his daughter." Xia Luotong said weakly, with a bit of fear in his eyes.
When Xia Zhihe saw her, she looked like she wanted to complain but didn't dare to say it. She immediately became energetic and kept trying: "I really want to take care of you, how can I take care of you to be so thin? You can speak out boldly, but with the Emperor supporting you today, no one will dare to bully you again!"
At this point, the emperor also spoke at the right time: "If Princess An has any grievances, feel free to speak out boldly at this time. Since you are the marriage given by me, now that something like this happens, I will naturally take care of it. "
With the emperor's words, Xia Zhihe felt as if he had received an imperial edict, and kept encouraging him. As long as they could get Xia Luotong's personal recognition, they would always be able to tear Prince An away from the person who was wrapped like a copper wall. A bite of meat!
Xia Zhihe's encouragement and Xia Luotong's hesitation could not move Prince An in the slightest, who was standing quietly at the side. The expression on his face was as indifferent as usual. Even in the face of those eyes that were either mocking or gloating, he was still Standing still.
But no one knew that he was not as calm as he seemed at this time.
His eyes fell on Xia Luotong from beginning to end. Hidden under the indifference was an unprecedented nervousness.
This kind of tension was unfamiliar to him, it appeared so suddenly, and he couldn't explain why he cared so much about her reaction and whether she would betray him temporarily.
In fact, no matter what decision Xia Luotong made, Xia Zhihe and others' conspiracy would not succeed, but he did care about her choice very much.
Even afraid that she will disappoint herself...
Fear?
Wu Zechen frowned, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion emerging from his heart. He seemed to feel that strange feeling, but he still couldn't catch the erratic thoughts...
No matter what Wu Zechen thought, Xia Zhihe's verbal offensive continued, and his next words broke his meditation and brought him back to the situation in front of him.
"... Just say it with confidence. A few days ago, you suddenly vomited blood and fell into coma. Is it because you were poisoned at Prince An's Mansion?"
Xia Zhihe asked Xia Luotong so straightforwardly, almost forcing Xia Luotong to admit that it was Prince An who wanted to poison her. This was hardly a hint, it could be said to be an explicit statement!
Xia Zhihe was really going to be so angry at this daughter that he vomited blood. How could he have such a stupid daughter? Although her biological mother, Sun, had no memory of her early years, she still seemed quite clever. How could the daughter she gave birth to be so clumsy? In addition to following the Sun family in terms of appearance, it seems that there are no other advantages?
Xia Luotong opened her innocent and ignorant eyes, looking at Xia Zhihe who was obviously very angry, but still pretending to love his daughter and want to support her, she felt very happy in her heart!
Sure enough, torturing your enemies is the most pleasurable and beneficial to your health!
But it was enough after struggling for a while. This was above the court after all, and the emperor was getting a little impatient, so she decided to give them a happy meal out of mercy!
She hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and struggled to speak: "No, in fact, my daughter was poisoned when she was in the courtyard of Anyuan Town! If she hadn't married into the palace, , The prince is kind-hearted and detoxifies his daughter, but he is afraid that his daughter has already been poisoned and died! It is too late for my daughter to thank the prince, so the poison is not from the prince's house!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zechen next to him quietly breathed a sigh of relief. His hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and his eyes looking at Xia Luotong became a little softer.
She did not disappoint him...
She responded to his trust...
However, compared to Wu Zechen's relaxation and even joy, Xia Zhihe was shocked and stared at Xia Luotong in shock and disbelief, as if he was looking at a stranger!
Not only him, but also many ministers present, including the emperor, no one expected that things would take such a turn, such a sudden turn for the worse...
Xia Zhihe was stunned for a moment on the spot, and then said in shock: "Impossible!"
"Father! It's true! My daughter was really poisoned when she was in another hospital!" Xia Luotong bit her pink lips and said softly but with a hint of stubbornness.
"If you were poisoned in another courtyard, it would have been poisoned long ago. How could it be delayed until a few days ago?! You must know that you have been married into the palace for two full months!" Xia Zhihe bit his silver teeth secretly. , reluctantly tried to reverse the situation, "Don't listen to the slander, mistake the bad guys for the good guys, and make fun of your own life!"
"Princess An, thinking about the pain you suffered when you were poisoned a few days ago, are you really willing to put yourself in that situation again?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mr. Li Ge quickly followed suit, but in these words The meaning is half reminder and half threat.
"Father, my daughter is not joking with her life, she is serious..."
"Luo Tong! Are you threatened by others, so you have to say this? Tell dad, don't be afraid! Dad can make the decision for you! But if you keep talking nonsense, dad can't help you! "Xia Zhihe's tone became a little more unkind, he interrupted her forcefully and looked at Prince An with a pointed look.
That look clearly said: All this must have been arranged by Prince An, right? ! If you don’t say what I mean again, then I won’t be polite to you!
Xia Luotong clenched the handkerchief in her hand, with a bit of determination in her eyes. She was about to say something more, but was overtaken by the person next to her.
Wu Zechen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly took a step forward, covering half of Xia Luotong's body as if protecting her, and then spoke in a low tone: "Master Xia is so aggressive, but he is threatening me. The king’s princess?”
