Chapter 442 They Have Started to Suspect You
Facing her interrogation, Ning Yue had already prepared her response. She curled her lips slightly and spoke slowly, "Before the arrival of Princess Qi Yu, there was no abnormality within the Imperial City. Yet before Princess Qi Yu even set foot in the Imperial City, she disappeared without a trace."
Hearing this, Qi Yu scorned in her heart, Who is the ghost behind this matter?
If it wasn’t for Ning Yue and Jiutu plotting this early on, how could she and Li Mingjue have possibly vanished out of the blue for over a month?
But even if that was the truth, no one would believe it if said aloud.
Qi Yu was well aware of this and knew that Ning Yue was counting on this very fact to so brazenly twist the truth.
As she pondered how to rebuttal these words in secret, Ning Yue continued, "Not until the matter of Xueyue had become irreversible and just before the heaven-sacrificing ritual was about to commence, did you suddenly reappear at the hostel. Is all of this merely a coincidence?"
While the facts were certainly not so, Ning Yue’s words sounded somewhat reasonable.
Even the princes who typically didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits looked at Qi Yu with complex expressions in their eyes.
And the emperor, who had been tormented by Xueyue to his last breath, coughed violently a few times after hearing these words, pointed at her with a voice laced in hatred and asked, "Tulan has no quarrel with Dazhao, why would the Princess go to such lengths to harm Us?"
Qi Yu was now at a loss for words, as anything she would say could be twisted into another meaning.
