When Huai Jin heard this, although she did not reveal it on the surface, but her thoughts were complicated. She secretly wondered if the empress dowager had heard any news.

After hesitating for a while, Huai Jin still chose to believe in Yuwen Fei's capabilities. She shook her head and said firmly: ”Prince Consort, this has nothing to do with it.”

The empress dowager raised her head and looked at Huai Jin for a long time. Due to the teeth in her mouth being tightly clenched together, the veins on her face were popping out one after another.

”But Wailing Home heard that Su Geying wrote a letter to Ruan Qinghe when he was at the lower level of the palace feast! How do you explain that! ”

Indeed! The empress dowager knew everything, but she still summoned herself to the Dao Palace because she didn't believe the explanation that Yuwen Fei had made up.

Huai Jin secretly cursed Yuwen Fei in her heart. She pretended to be in a panic, but she still couldn't be perfectly full of it, and had to take such a huge risk.

”Tell me about it!”

The empress dowager grabbed the armrest of the chair and glared at Huai Jin, waiting for her reply.

Huai Jin only felt cold sweat behind her back. While cursing Yuwen Fei in his heart, she was also doing her best to find an excuse for herself.

However, he was still unable to come up with a satisfactory explanation. No matter what, it was too risky. If the empress dowager could find out the problem, the marble temple would also definitely find out.

Furthermore, she was not clear about the evidence in Yuwen Fei's possession, but if Yuwen Fei were to directly say that the letter was Su Geying's excuse for getting rid of her guilt, or perhaps say that it was simply a half-truth, then Su Geying could make use of Ruan Qinghe.

If he were to give a casual explanation just like that, then he would lose the match with Yuwen Fei.

After thinking about it again and again, Huai Jin simply shook her head and pushed all the blame onto Yuwen Fei.

Her body lightly trembled as she choked with sobs, ”I don't know what exactly happened here. The Seventh Prince found out that Su Geying was the culprit, and he even killed Ji An in an attempt to destroy the witness. At that time, all I knew was that someone from Princess Mansion had died. I was extremely afraid, how could I have thought about it so much? ”

Her voice was filled with tears, and when the Empress Dowager saw her like this, her anger was somewhat suppressed. However, he was still puzzled in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he sat down limply and pondered for a long time before asking.

”Then what about Su Geying?”

”Dead.”

The empress dowager immediately sat up and asked again, ”How did she die?”

Huai Jin took a deep breath, as if she was going to stop the lump in her throat, and replied: ”Bite your tongue and commit suicide.”

”Where's the corpse?!”

”He's at the marble temple.”

The empress dowager slumped back into her chair, her face pale. Her voice was gloomy as she called over the Yang mama at her side. To the marble temple! ”

Yang mama immediately received the order and sent someone to marble temple to inquire about the situation.

The empress dowager looked at Huai Jin by her side and slowly spoke out, ”Seventh Prince entered the palace with you?”

She spoke to Huai Jin again, it was no longer the serious look she had previously, as though the one scolding Huai Jin in her eyes was not her.

Huai Jin answered: ”Yes, he should be in the royal study now.”

”Go!” The royal study! ”

Walking on the path to the imperial study, Huai Jin was secretly delighted. She really wanted to see how Yuwen Fei would complete his lie in such a hurry.
