Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Perfect Scapegoat
Beichen Bifeng's eyes blinked, and he smiled at Chai Fengyin, very innocent. Lang Run's voice drifted to Chai Fengyin's spiritual sea, "A-Yin, don't wronged me, it's your fiancΓ© who thinks too highly of himself." The frog at the bottom of the well is just a joke~"
"I think you're no less arrogant than him." Chai Fengyin didn't spare him, but he already agreed.
"Ayin has wronged me again-" Beichenbi smiled proudly, "I obviously know that I am valuable." β
Chai Fengyin smiled and said nothing, and heard the queen ask the third prince again: "Is your chaotic water really still there?" I remember that your house was burglarized two days ago......"
Zhu Yuanye was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he still insisted on confidently: "The thief went to the Treasure Pavilion to steal something else, not the Chaos Water ......."
"You'd better send someone back to see it and talk back."
"That chaotic water can't be obtained without the cultivation of the Earth Great Spirit Master. Since the queen mother wants to see it, I will go back to the house and get it myself. β
As soon as Zhu Yuanye left, Zhao Guifei was about to lose her temper, and the queen immediately took out the glass bottle to block her mouth, "Your Majesty, come and see if this is a bottle that holds chaos water." β
"Sister Queen, how could Ye'er's Chaos Water be with you?"
"Sister Guifei is in a hurry, this is just an empty bottle found in Miss Chai's purse. I hope it's not a bottle of chaotic water......" The afterglow of the queen's eyes drifted to the prince who had been invisible since entering the door, and when she looked at the glass bottle in the emperor's hand, there was an undersurge in her eyes.
is also a prince, and she is also a great spirit master, but her prince has been suppressed for more than 20 years, so how can she be willing?
At the same time, looking at the glass bottle unwillingly, there was Chai Xueyan, "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know what kind of bottle this is." This bottle doesn't belong to a courtier, and I don't know how it ended up in my purse......"
Chai Fengyin raised her eyebrows, the emperor at the top was checking the bottle with spiritual power without distraction, she quietly approached Beichenbi, "Demon, you obviously came after the fact, and you have never been close to her, how did you do it?" β
"Want to know?" Beichenbi smiled like a spring mountain, very flirtatious, "Kiss me!" β
Chai Fengyin rolled her eyes, "...... When I didn't ask. β
"But I've already heard it~ I know that Ayin is embarrassed to kiss me in front of people, it's okay, I can remember it first."
Beichen Bi said: "That bottle, she was already in her purse when she went out this morning." β
Chai Xueyan went out this morning...... That was when she was called to the front hall for questioning after she awakened her spiritual power.
"You have a grudge against her?"
Beichenbi rarely supported his forehead, and said a little bit through gritted teeth: "Girl with no conscience, who am I angry at?!" β
Chai Fengyin raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes and looked at him again, "Then this morning, won't the corpse in Chai Xueyan's courtyard also be ......?" β
Beichenbi's eyes were shining, and he stretched out two fingers with a smile, and said with a smile: "Ayin, the second question, twice~"
Chai Fengyin smiled on her lips, snorted lightly, and turned her head silently.
The emperor who happened to be at the top also slowly collected his spiritual power, "This is the bottle that holds the Chaos Water." I've just investigated the method of using the water system of spiritual power, and the Chaos Water should be used soon. He looked at Chai Xueyan who was kneeling, and his gaze was not good.
"Chai Xueyan, you said you don't know when this bottle arrived in your purse, what evidence do you have to prove that you are telling the truth? When was the last time you opened this purse? Who can prove it for you? β
"I, I'm going to open my purse for the last time...... Last night, it was my personal maid who sorted out the clothes for me, and she didn't say much, so she didn't notice anything unusual......"
Fu Chaohua couldn't bear it anymore, and when Zhu Yuanye had affection for Chai Xueyan, she was so angry that she was about to explode, "Sister Xueyan's maid didn't find anything abnormal, it won't be because this thing is Sister Xueyan's." Cousin Ye even gave you such a precious pill prescription, and you were not greedy enough to steal his Chaos Water! β
"I knew that Yang Yuan Dan must have been stolen from me, where did you throw my purse, have you already destroyed the evidence? You say! β
For the first time, Chai Xueyan understood what it was to be speechless, "County Lord, you are reasonable, I am an alchemist myself, why should I be willing to fall for a pill." As for the Chaos Water, I've really never seen it, I don't even know where I put it, how can I steal it? β
Suddenly, Chai Xueyan had a flash of inspiration and calmed down, "What's more, the third prince also said just now that the chaotic water must have the cultivation of the earth system spirit master to get it, I only advanced to the great spirit master today, and I am a fire type spirit power." Even if I knew where the Third Prince put his things, I wouldn't be able to get them. β
Letting her escape so quickly, Chai Fengyin looked regretful. Retracting his gaze happily, he had no intention of glancing at it, and the phoenix in his arms didn't know when he was refreshed. The two red bean-sized eyes were full of excitement.
"You're such a gossip as a bird! Do you understand?! β
The phoenix was undistracted and didn't bird her. Chai Fengyin was evil-hearted and raised his hand to block its sight.
"Foolish ......" Chai Fengyin quickly pinched its beak and whispered: "If you expose the identity of the holy beast and are rushed to catch the contract, I won't save you!" β
Beichen Bi dragged out a long tone on the side and said quietly: "Ayin's bullying appearance is really ......"
Chai Fengyin glanced at him, "What?" β
Beichen Bi smiled like a retrospective, "Smart and charming!" β
Chai Fengyin's lips hooked, and it was moving, so that Beichenbi couldn't help but look at him.
"You look serious too...... Charming! Chai Fengyin's eyes flowed, and he lowered his head and leisurely stroked the phoenix's phoenix.
Beichenbi's eyes jumped, and his heart began to surge with uncontrollable, excitement? He stared at Chai Fengyin's side face, his eyes complicated with a little confusion.
"What's wrong with you?"
ββ¦β¦ It's okay. Beichen didn't blink and immediately changed to a laughing expression, "I'm not very interested, are you not satisfied with the big drama I prepared for you?" β
"Satisfied." Chai Fengyin's gaze followed Zhu Yuanye, who walked in with a gloomy face, and slid to Chai Xueyan beside him, "She has some ability." She dodged her this time, and I won't give her a chance to slip away next time! β
"The drama isn't over yet." Beichenbi motioned to her to look at the silent emperor, "It's too early to draw conclusions." β
"What else can there be a big reversal that can't be ......"
As soon as Chai Fengyin's muttering fell, he heard the storm suppressed in the emperor's eyes, and asked Zhu Yuanye in a deep voice, "Have you told Chai Xueyan about the Chaos Water?" β
"Father?" Zhu Yuanye was stunned, obviously understanding that the emperor was suspicious of his sweetheart, "Miss Chai will never do such a thing, Father Emperor Mingjian." β
Zhu Yuanye put his clothes on his face, knelt beside Chai Xueyan, and argued: "Father, I have already had a tacit understanding with Miss Chai, and when she becomes an intermediate alchemist, I will give her the Chaos Water to refine the Soul Pill, and she doesn't need to steal ...... at all."
The emperor was so angry that he smashed the glass bottle on his head, "Foolish thing, have you forgotten what you lost in the Treasure Pavilion?" It's an earth-based holy beast crystal! Only the alchemist's natal spiritual fire can absorb the power of the beast crystal and break the seal you have set. β
"Now, the bottle of Chaos Water has been found on her, and you still say she didn't steal it. Then you say, who is the one who stole the Chaos Water? Who stole your earth-based holy beast crystal? β
Chai Fengyin suddenly realized, he didn't expect the alchemist's natal spiritual fire to have this anti-heaven function. In this way, Chai Xueyan is simply the perfect scapegoat! I didn't see that the emperor didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing anymore, so he ordered someone to fork Chai Xueyan down.
"Father, Miss Chai has both talent and virtue, and the son believes that she will never do such a thing. Erchen, Erchen already has an object of suspicion, begging his father to forgive Erchen for a few days, Erchen will definitely be able to find out the real thief and prove Miss Chai's innocence. β
"Oh? You have the object of suspicion, who is it? β
Zhu Yuanye's gaze swept over Chai Fengyin, Chai Fengyin sneered, although this thing was indeed taken by her, but this kind of taste of being used as a shield is really unbearable!
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanye was not stupid enough to say it on the spot.
"Please ask my father to give his son a seven-day leniency, and his son will definitely find evidence to convince the thief!"
After a lot of bold words, Chai Fengyin's lips hooked up a malicious smile, and he raised his teacup to him, the meaning of provocation was obvious.
Suddenly, a gust of flat wind came from the side of him, Chai Fengyin closed his eyes uncomfortably, opened his eyes again, and turned his head to the demon drinking tea leisurely, "Where did the demon wind come from......"
Beichen Bi said coolly: "It's autumn, don't you often get windy." β
The phoenix in Chai Fengyin's arms suddenly snorted with contempt, and Chai Fengyin wondered, "What's wrong with it?" β
"Your throat was burned by you, it's okay, I'll give it a pill in a while." Beichen Bi avoided Chai Fengyin with a threatening sneer, and bluffed the phoenix, who was strong on the outside and capable in the middle, plunged into Chai Fengyin's arms.
This scene stimulated Beichenbi somewhere, and the fire in his heart jumped all the way to his brain, and with a stretch of his long arm, he slipped out of the phoenix in Chai Fengyin's arms.
His hand didn't know where he accidentally touched it, and both of them froze.
Beichen Bi was in a trance, and when his heart was surging, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand, and he raised his head to meet Chai Fengyin's cold and angry gaze. Dengshi was like a basin of cold water poured into his heart, and he came to his senses.
"Don't let go yet, are you going to pinch it to death?!"
As soon as Beichen Bi's hand was released, the poor phoenix rolled her eyes and lay on Chai Fengyin's hand, which could be regarded as alive.
Chai Fengyin was having a cold face, and there was a sudden darkness in front of him, Fu Zhaohua walked over with a cup of tea, and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I wronged you before......
Looking at the cup stretched out in front of him, Chai Fengyin was nameless and found an outlet to vent, "The county lord is not very old, and his face is thick!" It's hard to break your promise so quickly?! β
