These words were like a nail, instantly pinning the frantically screaming Min to the ground, where she fell silent. Her already pale face turned even more ashen.
Emperor Chongjin frowned, and upon seeing this scene, he abruptly stood up, his anger radiating from him. He pressed down on Lady Min, roaring furiously, "Lady Min! You explain yourself to me!"
Seeing this, Huo Chengche pulled Xuan Di aside and stood quietly, watching the scene unfold. But his heart was already churning with turmoil—no wonder he always felt something was off, as if something didn't match his memories of his previous life!
Yes, Min reminded him that in his previous life, there was no such thing as the Sixth Princess Yingying! There was only the little princess Niannian from Hengchang, and the title of "jinx" was bestowed upon Niannian...
The young man's thin lips were tightly pursed, his expression seemingly indifferent, but when he stood with his hands behind his back, he already exuded an overwhelming aura of power and fierceness, so terrifying that even Xuan Di couldn't help but take a second look.
Xuan Di glanced at Huo Chengche and saw that his expression was indifferent, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if they were still.
This time, it was his turn to sized up Huo Chengche.
Huo Chengche ignored Xuandi this time and stared intently at Min Shi.
When Min was yelled at by Emperor Chongjin in a fit of rage, she looked up and met the innocent, dark eyes of the little boy. Her gaze immediately flashed, and she instantly became more alert.
However, she still dared not meet the little boy's gaze. The moment her eyes met his face, she hurriedly turned away, trembling all over, and stammered with a dry laugh, "No, no, it was...it was just that I...I was just talking nonsense..."
As she spoke, she smiled at Emperor Chongjin, trying to appear calm, and explained, "Yes, it's because she looks so much like the Sixth Princess. I just suddenly saw her, suddenly saw her..."
In Min's mind, the scene of the little baby suddenly turning his head and making eye contact with her was like a nightmare, constantly flashing before her eyes.
She grew increasingly agitated, twisting her head in a grotesque and delirious manner as she stepped forward to look at Emperor Chongjin, exclaiming, "Your Majesty! Don't you find it strange? How could there be two people who look exactly alike!"
Min pointed at the little baby, grabbed Emperor Chongjin's clothes, and shouted, "She is the daughter of the Prince of Hengchang, and the Sixth Princess is your daughter. The two are completely unrelated, yet they look exactly alike!"
"Pull her away!" Emperor Chongjin frowned, flicked his sleeve, and kicked the person away, glancing at Dejiang as he gave a stern order.
As Min was being pulled along, she continued to shout, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Imperial Advisor's prediction from back then! She must be that jinx! She's back! She's coming back to wreak havoc on our Xiheng Kingdom! Your Majesty, you mustn't be bewitched by her! She's a little jinx!"
As Min's hysterical screams ceased, the room fell into dead silence.
The little girl nestled in the Empress Dowager's arms, feeling the boundless malice that Min Shi was radiating, directed solely at her.
She looked at Min Shi, who was full of malice, her rosy cheeks puffed up slightly with displeasure. She looked up at the Empress Dowager, her clear, bright eyes blinking innocently.
The Empress Dowager looked down at the little girl's eyes, which were like glass and seemed fragile. She pulled her closer to her, letting her snuggle against her soft embrace. She gently stroked the little girl's nose and said with a loving smile, "Don't be afraid, Niannian. Your Grandma is here."
Feeling the protection of his grandmother, the little baby's dimples sank in, and he gave her a big, bright smile.
The Empress Dowager raised her head, but before she could speak, she saw Emperor Chongjin walk up to the restrained Min Shi and look down at her.
Min looked up at Emperor Chongjin, her eyes suddenly flashing with an unusual light, muttering something in a mystical voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The next moment, Emperor Chongjin's expression turned cold and fierce, his entire body radiating imperial might. "Whether my little princess is a blessing or a curse is none of your business!"
