Chapter 253: Take a Door to the Face
# 253. Take a Door to the Face
"When I wanted to show my 'status' back then, I secretly took a piece of fabric from the Empress's palace..." As the Imperial Uncle spoke, his eyes shifted to the yellow silk cloth.
Xu Qi’an understood. So, the yellow silk that Huang Xiaorou had was obtained this way.
*However, many concubines in the palace likely had access to such material. Relying on just this piece of fabric wouldn't be strong enough evidence…* Just as Xu Qi’an was pondering this, he suddenly heard Huaiqing’s calm voice:
“Sir Xu was able to trace the clues from the autopsy to lock onto the Imperial Uncle. How much more likely is it that the mastermind, who already knew the inside story, would be able to do so?
"If my mother hadn't confessed, evidence would naturally emerge to help Sir Xu trace it back to the Imperial Uncle. Besides, with our Uncle's 'unbreakable resolve,' he'd surely confess everything after just one night in the Nightwatcher prison."
A cold smirk played on the corners of Huaiqing's mouth.

*Although he’s a useless fool, he’s still the only brother. If Erlang were constantly bullying and harassing women, would I save him if political enemies used him to attack me?*
