Zhu Ronghua's face was equally ugly. Even though she felt ashamed and angry at Shang Keyan's stupid accusation just now, she was still as usual, no matter it was her own daughter's fault or someone else's, she would stand by Shang Keyan.
On Yan'er's side, he scolded others with a sullen face: "Yao'er, you are my sister. Yan'er is young and ignorant. You should teach her. How can you encourage her to poison."
Turning her head, she looked at Zhuang Hao fawningly: "Ms. Zhuang, you heard me too. The poisoning is not Yan'er's fault. Please explain it clearly to the Sixteenth Prince."
"Oh, what's the explanation? Explain that the third sister poisoned me at the instigation of the second sister? But aunt, no matter who instigated the second sister, this can't change the fact that the second sister poisoned me, right?"
A crisp and sweet voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd. Everyone turned and looked back subconsciously. They saw the woman speaking with bright eyes. She was dressed in a plain white dress that made her look very nimble. She had a bright smile on her palm-sized melon face.
However, it seemed that the person who was almost brutally poisoned was not her but someone else.
Phew, isn't the person speaking this the victim, the sixteenth princess Shang Kexi?
Swish, swish! Everyone subconsciously made a way, and stared blankly at Chen Xiqiao, who was smiling sweetly, holding Feng Qingyang's hand, and slowly walking over step by step.
Zhu Ronghua was stiff. When the protagonist appeared, it would have been most efficient to plead with Chen Xi. However, looking back on the past, she was used to despising Shang Kexi and yelling at her. How could she say soft words to her now?
Not only Zhu Ronghua couldn't speak out, but also Shang Yaozu and Shang Keyan couldn't speak out. All the people present who had bullied this daughter-in-law of Shangshu Mansion lacked confidence.
Although they wanted to please Shang Yaozu and seek favors, they could only stare at the woman's sweet smile with their eyes wide open, feeling chills and trembling in their hearts.
Zhuang Hao saluted Feng Qingyang and Chen Xi, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Princess, we have confirmed that the tea just now was poisoned with Sanchen's fatal powder. Although you two look peaceful now, please let Zhuang Hao
Just check your pulse and make sure you two are safe."
Chen Xi waved his hand: "I don't need it! Please ask the imperial doctor to check the prince's pulse first."
When she said this, her eyes fell on Shang Keyao intentionally or unintentionally.
Shang Ke Yao's originally pale face suddenly lost all color. When she met Chen Xi's gaze, she had the illusion that she had been completely seen through.
She couldn't help but think to herself: She already knew there was something wrong with that cup of tea, right?
No no no! Impossible!
She desperately wanted to reject the speculation in her mind, but the more she stressed, the more guilty she felt when she met Chen Xi's eyes.
Her heart was bouncing up and down like fifteen buckets of water. When she looked at Feng Qingyang, who was holding out her hand for Dr. Zhuang to check her pulse, her eyelids were so nervous that they twitched.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Feng Qingyang, whose hand had just been touched by Imperial Physician Zhuang, suddenly shouted and jumped away as if being struck by electricity.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi was startled by him.
Before she could take a closer look, a certain man shrank behind her again for protection: "Xi'er..."
He screamed timidly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Chen Xi was angry and funny. He pulled him out from behind and coaxed him: "It's okay. The imperial doctor is just taking a look at you. It's okay."
