Chapter 1048 1048 She Dropped The Bomb
"Release the butterfly" the emperor saw that old Zhu had finished his preparation. The man then asked his servant to unveiled the cage as well as opening it so the butterfly could fly away.
The servant immediately did as the emperor told him to do. The moment the servant opened the cage, the small butterfly immediately flew away. It didn’t wander around and went straight to the royal family’s table.
This made the guests were stunned. They didn’t think that such a lowly beast had quite a high intelligent to immediately headed to the royal family’s table where the test was happening.
Everyone held their breath as they saw the butterfly fly around the table as if inspecting which tea had poison in it. Only a minute later, the butterfly slowly landed on the edge of Yan Fenghuang’s cup. It flapped its wings a few times and its body glowed again.
This made everyone couldn’t help but cheers.
"The butterfly really did detect it!" One of the guests stood up and clapped for the beast. He was sure that any poison owned by old Zhu would at least be rare but this butterfly still able to detect it. Usually, the rare poison was hard to detect and would even pass the silver needle test.
"Now I believe in that human. Who knows a divine beast has such a unique ability? We underestimate them too much" Another guest also stood up while clapping his hand praising the butterfly. If the divine beast alone already had such useful ability what about the sacred beast?
Maybe it’s time to consider letting sacred beast enter their society too.
"It’s done?" Li Shi Ying heard the guests clapped and praised the butterfly. The girl asked Long Ao Zhen as she removed the blindfold. If the guest cheers then her butterfly should already do her job well.
"It’s done. Your butterfly indeed can detect poison" Long Ao Zhen nodded. He looked at Yan Fenghuang with threatening eyes now that Li Shi Ying had a strong alibi.
"See, Lady Yan now I can prove my words. It means I stop the empress from drinking the tea because indeed my butterfly detects it." Li Shi Ying turned her head around and smirked upon seeing Yan Fenghuang sat there with a pale face.
The girl didn’t think that the butterfly indeed could detect poison. This was really the biggest flaw in her plan, from the start her plan was crumbling bit by bit because of this butterfly!
"I..." Yan Fenghuang didn’t know what to say. Should she immediately accuse Li Shi Ying using her family’s identity? But if she suddenly said this, it would look unnatural!
"Oh, right I forgot to mention this. I still have one question for you, Lady Yan" Li Shi Ying clapped her hand as she looked at Yan Fenghuang with a smile. That’s right. There was still a huge hole in Yan Fenghuang plan that she hasn’t exposed.
"What is it? Whatever the question is, you can’t accuse me" Yan Fenghuang lifted her chin haughtily. She still had her trump card, with this Li Shi Ying won’t be able to dodge this case!
"When you first found the sachet, you immediately give it to senior Zhu. Am I right?" Li Shi Ying tilted her head and crossed her arm while asking. Her tone was very steady with no intention of blaming making the guests even more fond of the girl.
This girl could question someone without making them feel questioned. Good, good!
"Yes, what’s with it?" Yan Fenghuang didn’t understand Li Shi Ying purpose of asking the obvious. What’s wrong with that? She didn’t see anything wrong with it.
"I wonder why you immediately give the sachet to Senior Zhu than the emperor. If it’s me and I found something suspicious around the crime scene, I’ll give the item to the one with most authorities around me but you...why do you choose senior Zhu? It’s as if you already know the inside is a poison thus asking Senior Zhu to check it..."
Li Shi Ying rubbed her chin and immediately told her opinion to the public. Of course, she didn’t stop there. "Could it be Lady Yan has superpower can see what’s inside the sachet so quick? Or from the start you believe- no. You want to accuse me of being the culprit?"
Li Shi Ying ended her words with a super sarcastic tone. The girl laughed softly upon making the whole guests and the royal family stunned.
They didn’t think this far! That’s right if they thought about it again sure, what Yan Fenghuang did is suspicious!
The guests began to stare at Yan Fenghuang and some even whispered to each other quite loud. They were discussing whether Yan Fenghuang was actually low-key the culprit since she was the most aggressive out of everyone when she accused Li Shi Ying of being the culprit.

Seeing the guests began to look at her in suspicion, the girl immediately refuted.
"W-what are you talking about?! Of course I’m suspicious because you are the one who serves the tea and who won’t think that the sachet might contain poison? It drops a few minutes after the poisoning incident after all!"
Yan Fenghuang subconsciously stood up. The girl glared at Li Shi Ying as she continued.
"Besides, I don’t have the motive to poison the empress but you did! Your parents are the one who poisons the empress years ago after all!" Yan Fenghuang didn’t let Li Shi Ying to speak anymore.
She dropped the bomb!
