Xiao Shengxing looked indifferent and didn't say anything.
The eunuch beside him suddenly interrupted and said in embarrassment: "Empress, her father used witchcraft and has been executed."
As soon as these words came out, Du Xi, who had always been gentle, suddenly became very ugly. He looked at the eunuch stubbornly: "My father did not do such a thing. He was wronged!"

"This poor technique will definitely make people laugh to death." She couldn't help but complain.
"I think it's good. It has a different kind of dramatic quality." Xiao Shengxing, who was controlling the puppet steadily, praised with a smile.
Su Lijin looked at him and couldn't help sticking out her tongue, feeling a little better.
