章 1145: 558 Confession (third update)

Minister Xing opened his mouth, took a weak breath of cool air, and said, "Before the truth comes to light, all hypotheses are possible."

"That's right, there were two other witnesses mentioned, one is the feigned-dead courtesan from the Xianle Inn, and the other is also a lady from the Xianle Inn, called..." Princess Ning An seemed not to remember the name, looked at the document, and then said, "Ah, Hua Xiyao."

As she spoke, her gaze once again fell on Minister Xing's face, "May I ask Minister Xing, where are these two witnesses now? Is it possible to have them appear in court to testify? It seems rather arbitrary to conclude that the Xianle Inn is colluding with the royal family based solely on the words of an assassin, don't you think so, Minister Xing?"

Princess Ning An's gaze was very gentle, but for some reason, Minister Xing's forehead felt inexplicably chilly.
