Chapter 002 Self-certification of innocence
Bu Fengli's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise slipped through his eyes, and his voice was still as cold as ice: "Evidence? What evidence do you have?"
"Please, the fourth prince, allow me to cut off a piece of the prince's wet nurse's unburned clothes. Just a small piece will do."
When Xiang Qingning finished speaking, everyone was confused and didn't know what she wanted.
Bu Fengli did not agree immediately, his eyes darkened.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly put away the long sword in his hand, raised his hand and inserted it into the scabbard on the guard's waist: "Accurate! But you'd better prove it for sure, otherwise, I won't use it to kill you again."
If the sword is struck, you will suffer double the pain that the wet nurse suffered."
So, burn her to death too, right?
Xiang Qingning said nothing, pursed his lips slightly, and stood up from the ground.
Bu Fengli told his personal guard Zhong Li: "Take her there."
"yes."
Zhong Li took the order and led Xiang Qingning towards a room not far away.
The body of the wet nurse was temporarily laid there.
After a while, the two people came out. Xiang Qingning was holding a piece of cloth in his hand. To be precise, he was holding a corner of the cloth between his two fingers.
Under everyone's gaze, she returned to the place where she was kneeling just now and looked around everyone: "Excuse me, can anyone help me get it?"
With such a situation and atmosphere, naturally no one would respond.
Bu Fengli signaled to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li stepped forward: "I'll do it."
"Thank you. Just hold it like this with me. It's best to pick it up with the tip of your sword. Yes, pick it up with the tip of your sword. It's safer this way."
Zhong Li looked at Bu Fengli with a questioning look.
Bu Fengli nodded slightly.
Zhong Li pulled out the sword from his waist and inserted the edge of the piece of cloth on the tip of Xiang Qing Ning's sword: "Please, just hold it like this."
Finally, he turned to look at Bu Fengli again: "Excuse me, Fourth Prince, can this slave go up to the second floor?"
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed.
It was a double-story pavilion in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. There was a central pavilion on the second floor. Outside the pavilion was a large open-air balcony. There were stone tables and chairs in the pavilion and on the balcony. It was a place where the Fourth Prince usually took a break to drink tea or take a break.
The place to play chess is in the pavilion when it is sunny in summer, and when it is cold in winter, it is on the balcony to bask in the sun.
You can see that there is still half a glass of water on the stone table on the balcony at this time. It seems that the fourth prince drank it, and the servants have not had time to take it away.
What are you going to do there? Everyone is curious.
They all looked back at the Fourth Prince, wondering if he would agree.
Bu Fengli's eyes darkened and he said "hmm" without any emotion.
He bowed to Qing Ning, walked there quickly, and went up to the second floor in front of everyone's eyes.
Then he didn't enter the pavilion, but walked straight to the stone table on the balcony, reached out and picked up the half glass of water on the table, and looked at it for a moment.
Then he put down the half glass of water, leaned down, and looked at the piece of cloth on the tip of Zhongli's sword in the courtyard, and then looked back at the sun on the horizon, constantly moving the position of the water glass.
Everyone was confused, including the Queen Mother.
Bu Fengli's eyes became darker and darker.
Everyone looked up at Xiang Qingning.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and before everyone could realize what was going on, they saw the piece of cloth on the tip of Zhong Li's sword burst into flames and burst into flames.
The whole audience was shocked.
what happened?
Zhong Li looked at the ball of fire on the tip of the sword in his hand in disbelief.
No wonder she said it was safer to pick it up with the tip of the sword than to hold it with the hands.
But, how could this happen?
What if it started burning on its own without any source of fire?
