After the little fur ball's scolding, the whole dinner seemed to come to a halt.

Everyone looked at each other, only exchanging glances secretly.

The Queen Mother is not in the palace.

Concubine Luo has always regarded herself as the empress dowager, but the emperor, grateful for her past kindness, treats her with more respect and indulgence.

Therefore, almost everyone fawned over her.

This was the first time someone, uh, no, something dared to scold her like that!

"Your Majesty, what does Princess Lingfu mean by this? She actually ordered her pet to scold me? If she has any objections to me, she can just say it directly! I am her elder after all. Isn't she going too far?"

Concubine Luo's well-maintained face suddenly turned dark.

Her eyes were shining as she stared at the little ball of fur, and she spoke in a very annoyed tone.

In response, Xiao Shuangbao tilted his head.

"Mother Dowager, the little fur ball didn't scold you." She said in a baby voice.

"You still say it didn't curse? Do you think I'm deaf, or do you think everyone is deaf? Everyone heard the curses it just gave!" Concubine Luo said angrily.

"But, Lady Toffee, you were the first to say that about the little furball."

Xiao Shuangbao said with some confusion.

She looked at Concubine Luo, her fair and soft face showing deep confusion. "Didn't you say that the little fur ball was a shady little thing? The little fur ball just repeated what you said to it to you?

“If that’s called scolding, then it was the Concubine Dowager who scolded the little fur ball first.

"There's nothing wrong with that little fur ball cursing back, right?

"Besides, wasn't it you, the Concubine, who kept asking the little fur ball to speak? Now that you can hear what it says, it proves that Shuangbao didn't lie before. It was the Concubine who was slandering Shuangbao all along.

"But it's fine that the Concubine Dowager slandered Shuangbao before, but why is she now saying that it was Shuangbao who made the little fur ball curse?

"So do you want the little fur ball to speak or not?"

As Xiao Shuangbao was talking, he almost got himself dizzy.

She held her head with her hands and complained to Emperor Cheng Xuan in a depressed tone, "Daddy, why is this Concubine Dowager like this? Does she dislike Shuang Bao and have a problem with her?

“Otherwise, why has she been targeting Shuangbao?

"If she has any opinions about Shuangbao, she can tell Shuangbao directly.

"She is the elder after all, why does she always bully Shuangbao, a child?"

The little baby's words were so powerful that Concubine Luo was speechless for a moment.

"You, you are making excuses about this matter!" This was all she could say.

"Shuangbao didn't."

Xiao Shuangbao curled his lips and answered innocently.

The next moment, she raised her soft and cute little face and asked innocently, "Daddy, what do you mean by quibbling? Is it like Concubine Luo?"

When Concubine Luo heard this, her face darkened again.

This little baby is so sharp-tongued, it's really hateful!

Why didn't she die in the Su family?

At this time, Emperor Chengxuan really wanted to tell Shuangbao that what Concubine Luo was doing was not quibbling, but being unreasonable.

But then he couldn't help frowning again.

Even if he believed in the character of the concubine, he had to admit that she seemed to be targeting Shuangbao.

But why?

Shuangbao is so well-behaved and cute, how did I offend her?

"Toffee, you've been asking Little Furball to speak, saying that this is the only way to prove Shuangbao isn't lying. Now that Little Furball has spoken, it's enough to prove Shuangbao's innocence. So, can you please stop your attention and discussion on this matter?"

Emperor Chengxuan looked at Concubine Luo and said, "After all, I have already handed the investigation of the case over to Zhou Xu.

"He is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, very capable, and I trust him very much.

"Also, it's not appropriate for the harem to discuss political affairs too much."

His expression had become somewhat cold.

Having said that, if Concubine Luo continues to make trouble, she would really be ungrateful.

At this moment, a hint of sarcasm and coldness appeared at the corner of Concubine Luo's lips.

"I naturally understand what the emperor said."

She said, "But my suspicion is not without reason."

Concubine Luo began to tell the story in detail.

“Just now, when that palace maid was about to assassinate me, I happened to notice that a chopstick flew out in time and saved Princess Lingfu’s life.

"Then, Chen Cao, the sword-bearing guard personally appointed by the Emperor and Princess Lingfu's personal bodyguard, appeared in time and protected the little princess behind him.

"In that critical situation just now, if all this wasn't planned in advance, how could Princess Lingfu have been rescued in such a timely manner?"

When Emperor Chengxuan heard her words, he couldn't help showing his displeasure in his heart.

"According to what the Concubine said, the situation just now was too critical. Shuangbao should not have been saved, so he should have died, right?"

His tone was slightly heavy, revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

When the court officials heard this familiar sign of his anger, they all fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Concubine Luo also heard it.

However, she didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Of course, I'm not saying that Princess Lingfu deserved to die. I just think that all this is too unreasonable, especially when I discovered that the person who threw the chopsticks and saved Princess Lingfu's life in time was actually from the enemy country."

Concubine Luo continued.

When she mentioned "people from the enemy country", everyone present was stunned.
