"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Seeing the person kneeling, the Empress Dowager quickly stepped forward, bent down and helped the person up, her eyes reddening.
As the man stood up, the Empress Dowager carefully examined Yongxuan before her, her eyes filled with tears and a deep longing.
It really looks like Ce'er...
They're finally back, finally back.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, now that you have a brother, you no longer care about me and Qing'er. This has made us so heartbroken."
Chen Nian and Qing'er took two steps forward and bowed.
"Jiaojiao, Qing'er..."
Looking at the two girls who walked up to her, the old lady's eyes reddened even more. She put the two girls' hands together, held them in her own, and said in a trembling voice.
As for Yongxuan, after having dinner with them, they returned to the Prince Rui's Mansion, which the Empress Dowager had ordered to be renovated since learning of Yongxuan's return to the palace.
As the only male heir of the Prince Rui's mansion, Yongxuan is certain to inherit the title; there's no question about that.
They couldn't make up for Yongxuan in time.
After resting for a while, he will also have to enter the imperial court. The Prince Rui's mansion still needs him to support it, and he still needs to stand up for Nian Nian.
However, since the project was not yet fully completed, the Empress Dowager temporarily left Chen Nian in the Cining Palace and would send her back once the repairs were finished.
She couldn't bear to let her beloved Jiao Jiao go back and lower her quality of life. Yong Xuan was a man, so it was alright if he lived a rough life, but not her Jiao Jiao.
To live the best life.
Moreover, it's convenient to see a doctor in the palace...
...
Cining Palace.
Are you telling the truth?
The old lady's eyes were filled with shock and a little bewilderment. She had lived for so many years and never expected to hear such an absurd thing. It was really hard to accept.
Xiao Yanzi is not a princess. She was bewitched by Ziwei to deliver a letter for her. The emperor mistakenly believed her. Xiao Yanzi wanted to tell the truth, but for various reasons, she couldn't.
Ziwei wasn't the real princess either; she was an imposter who even tried to impersonate the real princess. The real princess, because of Ziwei, lost her memory.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was incredulous, both Shen Nian and Qing'er nodded in agreement.
They had already discussed how to face the Empress Dowager and would tell the truth.
In order to minimize the Empress Dowager's misunderstanding of Xiao Yanzi, everyone discussed and agreed to put all the blame on Ziwei.
Anyway, Ziwei isn't a good person either.
Moreover, they were absolutely right. Xiao Yanzi was indeed bewitched by Ziwei. Xiao Yanzi was simple-minded and no match for Ziwei's profound skills. She was easily fooled by Ziwei and went to her.
After entering the palace, Xiao Yanzi wanted to tell the truth many times, but Ziwei stopped her time and time again for some reason, so she didn't tell the truth in the end.
"Your Majesty, Ziwei can use witchcraft. The Fu family may have been poisoned by witchcraft."
Seeing the Empress Dowager's face change instantly after they finished telling their story, Chen Nian quickly spoke up to defend the Fu Lun family.
They weren't lying; Erkang really was bewitched. It was because Erkang brainwashed Lord Fu Lun and the others that Lord Fu Lun helped them, and so on. Therefore, it can also be said that Lord Fu Lun and the others were indirectly bewitched as well.
Yes, that's perfect logic.
Shen Nian felt that she had become a little bit smarter after going out.
It's really only a tiny bit.
Chen Nian was extremely grateful that Ziwei knew a little about this skill, otherwise it would have been difficult to clear Fu Jia's name or exonerate Xiao Yanzi.
The reason it's described as "somewhat skilled" is because Ziwei's technique is not very advanced and was easily detected. It's as if she only learned a little bit from some miscellaneous books, and she's no match for those of them who have formally studied medicine.
This is also why she and Yongxuan are not worried about the Gu poison in Erkang's body.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Nian utter the words "cast a curse," the Empress Dowager...
