Dejiang felt a chill in the way Emperor Chongjin was looking at him. He shivered, quickly got up, and grinned obsequiously at his fat face.
"Your Majesty, this is the statement from Consort Min and her palace servants." Dejiang hurriedly presented the statement in his hand.
Emperor Chongjin picked up the paper and flipped through two pages at random. He then let out a cold laugh, and his originally dark face turned fierce, showing his genuine anger.
"Go and bring Min up here."
Upon seeing the furrowed brow of Emperor Chongjin, Dejiang quickly dropped his playful smile, responded, and turned to leave.
Seeing Emperor Chongjin's furious expression, Chen Zhixian sighed softly, "Your Majesty, let me take Niannian to play in the courtyard first."
If we don't take the little one out for a walk soon, this lazy girl will fall asleep.
Emperor Chongjin glanced at the little baby nestled in Chen Zhixian's arms, looking so cuddly, and his sharp features softened slightly.
"Niannian, go out and play with your godmother for a while. Go to sleep after you finish dinner."
Emperor Chongjin gently rubbed the little boy's head. When he met Chen Zhixian's almond-shaped eyes, he reached out and tucked her stray hairs behind her ear. His voice was gentle and magnetic. "Go ahead. I will stand up for you. I will make sure you don't suffer any injustice in vain."
Looking at the calm and gentle man, Chen Zhixian suddenly remembered his serious yet silly wolf-like appearance. Her cheeks flushed red, and she ran out with the silly little baby in her arms.
However, her heart fluttered, but all of that feeling vanished the moment she stepped outside—she bumped right into Consort Min, who was being "invited" there, looking unsteady on her feet.
Consort Min looked coldly at Chen Zhixian, whose face was pale and unsightly, and who seemed somewhat embarrassed.
When Chen Zhixian saw Min Zhaoyi's expression, she subconsciously pulled the little baby closer to her.
This action also drew Min Zhaoyi's attention to the little boy. Her bluish lips were tightly pursed. She never imagined that she, who prided herself on being smart, would one day be defeated by a little brat!
Yes, after Dejiang recorded her disordered statement, she vaguely guessed what Emperor Chongjin meant and immediately understood what kind of idea this little girl had given Emperor Chongjin!
"Ah, Princess Fuying..."
Min Zhaoyi's cold gaze was like that of a venomous snake, staring intently at the innocent, pink little dumpling in Chen Zhixian's arms, as if forcing out each word through her teeth, chewing and grinding it fiercely in her mouth.
The sinister voice made Chen Zhixian even more wary as she looked at her, and she held the little girl in her arms even tighter.
Dejiang's eyelids twitched, and he quickly urged in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you. Please come in."
Consort Min Zhao's handkerchief was already crumpled beyond recognition. She angrily flung it away and turned to go into the house.
Upon entering the room, Consort Min Zhao immediately lost her previous arrogance. In the blink of an eye, her face turned pale, and she looked up at the head of the table with tears streaming down her face, filled with regret and sorrow.
But when she met Emperor Chongjin's deep, imposing gaze, Consort Min's heart skipped a beat, her legs went weak, and she immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chongjin's stern eyes were icy cold. He picked up the stack of dictation records and slammed them in front of her. "Min Shi, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The crime of deceiving, deceiving the emperor?!
"No, no..." Min panicked. She had clearly chosen a lie that couldn't be exposed! Isn't that what all the concubines in the harem say in this situation?
How did it all end up here, with her running into this meddlesome brat!
