Chapter 21
Ling Yu slowly walked to Xiao Lintian.
She could clearly see Xiao Lintian's angular profile.
His slanting handsome eyebrows, sharp black eyes, and thin, pursed lips all conveyed nobility and elegance!
Like an eagle in the dark night, cold, proud and lonely!
This man is indeed handsome!
It's just too cold!
Xiao Lintian frowned and looked at Ling Yu with a disgusted expression as usual. He didn't like her being so close to him.
Ling Yu said calmly: "My lord, do you think Ling Ping is telling the truth?"
Xiao Lintian smiled coldly and said nothing.
Ling Yu smiled: "I am the person involved in the case! Your Majesty is the chief judge!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, then whatever I say will sound like sophistry to your ears!"
"So, let the prince judge it!"
Xiao Lintian's eyebrows moved.
Is Ling Yu accusing him of trying to break the tendons of her hands and hamstrings indiscriminately and without asking any questions?
"Your Majesty, what this slave said is true! Your Majesty cannot favor the princess just because of your slave's low status!"
Lingping cried: "Princess, you broke my hamstring, are you still unwilling to give up?"
"Do you have to take my slave's life? Why are you so vicious?"
"Well, I'm very vicious!"
Ling Yu looked at her, pointed at the people around her, and sneered meaningfully.
"Don't you all think I'm vicious? That's why you dare to harm me openly!"
"Because you all know... I, Ling Yu, am hated by King Yi!
"So even if you pour all the dirty water on me, King Yi will only stand by your side!"
"Just like this moment! It was clearly found out that there was arsenic in the medicine! Your prince also didn't say a word. He obviously gave me a chance to prove myself!"
"But I guess he won't believe anything I say!"
Xiao Lintian's face was as cold as frost. After being exposed by Ling Yu, he could no longer remain silent.
He interrupted her with a cold voice: "If you don't tell me, how do you know whether I will believe it or not?"
Ling Yu just wanted to force Xiao Lintian to say this.
Hearing this, she pointed at Ling Ping and said, "I still insist that Ling Ping poisons me and wants to kill me!"
"The reason... is the beaded and crane-shaped hairpin she wears on her head!"
When Lingping heard this, she subconsciously touched the beaded crane-shaped hairpin on her head, her face changed, and she hurriedly said.
"This, this is what you rewarded to your slave, Princess!"
Grandma Li was reminded by Ling Yu, and when she saw the hairpin on Ling Ping's head, she shouted angrily.
"That hairpin is a relic given to the princess by her mother! It has been kept in the princess's box!"
"How can I reward you with such an important relic of the princess's mother? Lingping, you stole it!"
"Your Majesty, this servant didn't steal, it was the princess and Aunt Li who framed me!" Lingping said.
"My lord, would you like to see the bead-shaped crane-shaped hairpin? Although my mother's hairpin is quite old!"
"But I remember that this hairpin is worth at least two hundred taels of silver!"
Ling Yu doesn't know the value of hairpins!
But Ling Yu thought that this was a relic from her mother and a dowry given by the old Marquis, so the value should not be cheap, so she estimated a figure.
She glanced at Ling Ping, sighed and shook her head helplessly.
"I really don't know what Lingping did to win my heart, so I would reward her with such a precious hairpin so generously!"
Lingping's face instantly turned pale. She just noticed that the hairpin had a unique style and was very old and gray.
I stole it because I thought it was worth more than a dozen pieces of silver...
Who would have thought it was worth two hundred taels? Or some relic?
If she had known it was such a bad luck thing, she wouldn't have wanted it!
"Isn't this hairpin worth two hundred taels? It's not gold!"
Qiu Hao reached out and pulled out Ling Ping's hairpin, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Xiao Lintian.
"That's right, Princess, you framed the slave again!"
"Obviously you said it wasn't worth a lot of money and gave it to the slave! Why are you now falsely accusing the slave of stealing your hairpin?"
Lingping was reminded by Qiu Hao, her eyes lit up, and she quickly made a judgment.
Xiao Lintian took the hairpin, turned it and looked at it, and saw a black bead in the mouth of the crane on the hairpin!
There is nothing special about this pearl, it is just a black pearl produced in the South China Sea.
When he turned over, he felt that the crane's feet were slightly raised.
Upon closer inspection, it was a very small seal, blurry and blurred by stains.
Xiao Lintian rubbed it with his fingers a few times, and when he looked again, his eyes flashed with light.
This seal turned out to be that of the famous master craftsman Lian Ming a hundred years ago!
This Lian Ming has exquisite craftsmanship. It is said that he only makes jewelry for royal families of various countries. There are a total of six sets of jewelry made by him.
There are ten pieces in each set, and each piece is a fine product!
In the nearly hundred years since his death, various countries have experienced changes in political power, and some of these jewelry have been lost among the people for various reasons.
But no matter which one of the nearly sixty pieces of jewelry he made, as long as it appears on the market, it is worth at least a thousand taels of silver, and expensive ones can be sold for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!
Ling Yu's hairpin and Lian Ming's seal are worth at least two thousand taels!
Xiao Lintian's eyes suddenly darkened...
