"Mm," Xia Sizhu obediently nodded her head and walked to stand by the empress dowager's side.

"Fourth Bro, take a seat too!" The emperor looked at the empress dowager who had already forgotten her grandson. He helplessly shook his head and beckoned Dongfang Ye over to sit.

"Yes, royal father!" The empress dowager treated Xia Sizhu better than any of her grandchildren. He also knew that at times, he always had the feeling that Xia Sizhu was the granddaughter of his grandmother.

"Father, do you have …" What are you doing? Do not touch our things! "

Yan Aoxuan had been waiting at the General's Estate since a long time ago. When she saw Yan Tianhua return, she immediately went to greet him. When she saw a group of people rushing into her house to move her things, she panicked, but she alone was unable to stop them.

"Daddy, they stole something from our family." The defeated Yan Aoxuan complained to Yan Tianhua, her eyes filled with rage.

"Let them move! It was the Empress Dowager's order. " Yan Tianhua looked helplessly at the imperial guards flitting through his house. He had no choice but to obey the orders of the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager? The empress dowager is back? " When Yan Ao Xuan heard that the empress dowager had returned, her expression immediately changed. The empress dowager had returned, and Xia Si Zhu had someone backing him. It wouldn't be so simple for her to overthrow Xia Si Zhu.

"Right, Xuan'er, have you done anything to Xia Sizhu?" On the way here, Yan Tianhua had already thought about it. Xuan'er was so obedient and had never offended anyone before. The only one who had a grudge against her was Xia Sizhu.

The empress dowager would only get so angry over Xia Sizhu's matter. It couldn't be that Xuan'er had done something to Xia Sizhu, right?!

"Father, what did you say?" Why would Xuan'er do anything to her? " The light in Yan Ao Xuan's eyes flickered, and she turned her face away with some guilt.

"Xuan`er, no matter what the empress dowager says later, don't admit it. Daddy will think of something." How could Yan Tianhua not see the guilt in Yan Aoxuan's heart? But since things had already turned out like this, he could only try his best to find a way to resolve it.

"Daddy, daughter understands." Yan Aoxuan also knew that the situation wasn't good, so she didn't continue to quibble.

"On the orders of the empress dowager, Miss Yan and Miss Yan's wet nurse are invited to the palace. Miss Yan, please leave!" When the imperial guards saw that half of the family fortune had been tidied up, Su Qiu walked up to Yan Aoxuan and said.

"Don't be afraid, Daddy will accompany you!" Yan Tianhua looked at Yan Aoxuan, whose face was filled with unease, and said with a firm look.

"Then let's go together!" Su Qiu looked at the two of them, but didn't stop them.

This group of people majestically walked towards the imperial palace. The further they went into the imperial palace, the more anxious and restless Yan Aoxuan became.

"Remember, don't spout nonsense in a moment!" Yan Tianhua instructed again as he patted Yan Aoxuan's shoulder.

"Your subject's daughter, Yan Ao Xuan, will attend the empress dowager, emperor, and night king." Upon entering the door, Yan Ao Xuan discovered that Dongfang Ye was also there. Her eyes lit up, then looked at the gloomy face of the empress dowager, lowering her head.

"This humble woman will participate in the Imperial Majesty, Empress Dowager, Night King." The nurse also knelt down.

"This official …" Yan Tianhua was about to salute when the empress dowager cut him off.

"General Yan, this one has something to say to Miss Yan and the wet nurse alone. This General Liyan can be forgiven. Su Qiu, please leave." The empress dowager shot Yan Tianhua a cold glance.

She wanted to interrogate Yan Aoxuan, how could she allow Yan Tianhua to stay behind?

"This official will take his leave!" Yan Tianhua's expression changed as he lowered his head and left. As soon as Yan Tianhua left, the door was shut tight. Yan Tianhua looked at the door with a glimmer in his eyes and actually left.

"Yan Ao Xuan, do you know your crime?" Looking at Yan Ao Xuan kneeling on the ground, the empress dowager suddenly roared out in rage.

"This subject doesn't know what has been done to make the empress dowager so angry?" Although Yan Aoxuan was extremely frightened, she knew that she couldn't afford to be in such a state of disarray. Otherwise, even Yan Tianhua wouldn't be able to save her.

"You still don't admit it? Yesterday night, your wet nurse appeared in the prison with a thousand taels of silver. She wanted to bribe the guards to take away Little Zhu's innocence. Fortunately, Little Zhu cleverly escaped this calamity. Otherwise, she would have lived her entire life. "

The empress dowager slammed the table, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and her entire body was exuding a strong killing intent as she charged straight at Yan Ao Xuan.

Yan Aoxuan was just an ordinary woman, how could she bear such an aura? Her complexion immediately paled, and her wet nurse's complexion didn't look too good either.

Hearing this, Dongfang Ye's eyes froze. His expression didn't change, but his entire body was emitting an unpleasant aura.

"Esteemed empress dowager, wronged!" This commoner has never been to the dungeon, and has never let anyone ruin Miss Xia's innocence! " The nurse shouted out that she was wronged and her face was filled with a wronged expression.

"Even now, you all are still unwilling to speak the truth. Naturally, I have sufficient requirements. Even if you admit it, I have ways of finding out the truth.

Did you say it yourself? Or do you want This Dowager to narrate it herself? "

The empress dowager's eyes grew cold. She still wanted to struggle to the death. She wouldn't give them a chance to turn the situation around. If they dared to even have a thought about it, they should have the awareness of being discovered.

"This subject's daughter has never done it before, so what should I say?" Yan Ao Xuan had succeeded in angering the empress dowager with a wronged look on her face.

"Someone, bring your witness." The empress dowager didn't want to waste any more words with them, so she immediately had someone send a witness.

The witness card was brought. It was one of the prison guards who wanted to destroy Xia Si, Zhu Qing and Bai.

"Do you know that woman?" Her Majesty pointed to the nurse.

"In reply to the empress dowager, it was this person. She was the one who found the servant with a thousand taels of silver and told him to ruin Miss Xia's innocence." The jailer looked at his nurse and said confidently.

"You're slandering me!" The wet nurse angrily yelled, her eyes somewhat panicking.

"It's enough that the empress dowager wants to help Xia Sizhu vent her anger, there's no need to use such a trick." Yan Ao Xuan's eyes were filled with humiliation. She stubbornly looked up at the empress dowager, her eyes filled with tears.

Yan Ao Xuan thought that the Emperor and Night King would at least plead for her and stop the empress dowager, but she didn't expect that. The Emperor only glanced at her for a moment before he started to survey his surroundings.

Dongfang Ye didn't even give Yan Ao Xuan a single glance. Yan Ao Lin's heart chilled a little when she saw the emperor and Dongfang Ye's reactions. She stared at Dongfang Ye with eyes full of grievance, as if Dongfang Ye had done something to let her down.

"She's looking at you!" Xia Sizhu pushed Dongfang Ye's hand, her eyes filled with ridicule.

Xia Sizhu's voice was neither too loud nor too loud. In this quiet environment, everyone could clearly hear her. The emperor's gaze was directed towards Yan Ao Xuan.

Discovered by the peeping, Yan Ao Xuan hatefully looked at Xia Sizhu. Facing Dongfang Ye's slightly raised eyes, she shyly lowered her head, a faint blush appearing on her face.

"This King dislikes her gaze for dirtying This King's face." Dong Fang Ye coldly looked at Yan Ao Xuan, unconcealable disgust in his eyes, and then shifted his gaze away.

Yan Ao Xuan hadn't thought that Dongfang Ye would say such a thing. Her face instantly turned from red to white, and shame and humiliation swarmed her face.
