869. Chapter 869 The empress dowager hesitates to speak 5
"you!"
What a eloquent sixteenth princess.
Zuo Mingzhu has learned a lot today!
She clutched the red handkerchief in her hand tightly, and her evil eyes fell on Chen Xi's face. She really didn't believe that she couldn't cure a runaway concubine!
"Shang Kexi, I will not falsely accuse a good person without evidence. However, as long as I am here, no one who commits any crime can escape the crime."
She turned to the silent Empress Dowager and said, "Grandma Grandma, tell me, if there are witnesses who can prove that what happened back then is indeed related to the Sixteenth Princess, do I have the right to deal with her?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes changed.
His deep eyes stared at the cold Zuo Mingzhu for a moment, and after a long while, he turned to look at Chen Xi who was treating him calmly.
Comparing the two, Zuo Mingzhu's demeanor is far worse than that of the sixteenth princess!
She slowly picked up the tea cup, and her lowered eyes blocked the flickering light under her eyes. When she raised her head again, she asked lightly: "Is there anyone alive back then?"
"A servant of the Zunli Department was crushed under the wooden house, but he didn't die."
As Zuo Mingzhu spoke, she turned around and ordered the palace maid beside her: "Go back to the palace, tell His Highness the situation here, and ask him to bring that servant over."
"Oh? Your Highness the Crown Prince also knows about that servant?"
Chen Xi raised his lips and smiled!
Zuo Mingzhu, Zuo Mingzhu, how credible are the words of a servant adopted by you?
She sat calmly opposite the Empress Dowager, gracefully picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and smiled.
Looking at Zuo Mingzhu, she stood upright in front of Chen Xi and the Queen Mother, looking like a prisoner waiting for trial.
She stood there, while the spring breeze blew the petals off the trees and lightly brushed her face, spinning around her like a ****.
Zuo Mingzhu looked at Chen Xi's smiling face in annoyance, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
He couldn't help but shout to the person behind him: "Idiot, don't you know how to bring me a chair?"
When the palace maid was scolded, she hurriedly responded and ran into Cixi Palace to move a chair.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly and fell on the back of the palace maid, feeling a little cold.
Chen Xi did not miss the change in the empress dowager's expression and smiled secretly in her heart.
This Crown Princess has become so arrogant even before she became the mother of a country. She will suffer a lot in the future!
She said nothing, and her cold gaze made Zuo Mingzhu's face darker than Bao Gong's.
After about two cups of tea, the surviving servant of the Zunli Department was hurriedly brought by the palace maid, and with them was the injured Feng Junchen.
When Feng Junchen saw the empress dowager's gentle expression, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
He strode up to the old man, bowed reluctantly, and asked: "Empress Dowager, it's windy outside, why did you come out? You'd better go into the palace to rest!"
"No, the fragrance in the palace is not suitable for the Ai family. It's better to go outside!"
The Empress Dowager's thoughtful gaze fell on Feng Junchen's frozen smile.
Feng Junchen coughed awkwardly and said with a smile, "Maybe the emperor's grandmother has been staying in the palace for too long. It would be good to come out for some air."
His eyes fell on Chen Xi's curved lips, and he asked coldly: "Isn't this the sixteenth princess who has been missing for a long time?"
"Haha, Your Highness, I thought you saw me in the Imperial Garden before."
Chen Xi smiled, secretly feeling funny about Feng Junchen's pretending to be deaf and dumb.
