Huai Jin sobbed, and stood by the empress dowager's side with an obedient face. With her eyes lowered, she secretly observed everyone present.

”Where are the people by the princess' side!?” Her Majesty shouted to the side.

Cui Xiang's heart sank, if these fifty people continued, her own life would be taken, she anxiously opened her mouth to beg for forgiveness: ”Princess! Save me, your servant. Please spare my life. ”

Being praised so suddenly by Li Consort, Zhao Yang didn't know how to reply and could only stare blankly at Li Consort.

After being interrupted by the Li Consort, Huai Jin also understood what was going on. She held the empress dowager's hand tightly and stared in the direction of Princess Zhao Yang, the grievance on her face turning into resentment.

”Esteemed Empress Dowager, aren't you going to ask An Ping what happened?”

The empress dowager was afraid that Huai Jin would put her hand on her arm and sighed. Her sharp eyes swept towards Cui Xiang who was still kneeling on the ground.

”Tell me, how did a princess fall into the water?”

Although Cui Xiang did not raise her head, the gaze from the empress dowager had already made her feel numb behind her back, let alone the fact that she had clearly felt a warning gaze.

”Reporting to the empress dowager, this servant doesn't know how the princess fell into the water. It's just that before she left, she said she was going to find the Prince Jin and told us not to follow.” After thinking for a moment, Cui Xiang pushed Prince Jin out without hesitation.

Huai Jin didn't know who the Prince Jin was, but looking at the Li Consort a moment ago, Zhao Yang and the empress dowager's attitude, the reason why he entered the water himself was obviously related to that Zhao Yang.

Huai Jin did not think too much into it. She lifted up the palace maid's head and gave his a resounding slap on the face.

This palm was sudden and clean, causing everyone around to be stunned. Yuwen Fei looked at Huai Jin deeply, his eyes were filled with laughter, as he had seen this play.

”Don't I know how I fell into the water? You're talking nonsense here?! ” Huai Jin shouted in anger.

”This servant doesn't dare!” Cui Xiang lowered her head, the tears that had stopped fell from her eyes once again.

”Ping Er, how do you think you fell into the water?”

”What that palace maid said is right. I was the one who called An Ping out.” Huai Jin was about to reply, when she heard a deep and gorgeous voice. The voice covered that Huai Jin had not finished chanting the words, and the owner of the voice stood out. A pair of phoenix eyes lightly fell on Huai Jin's body.
