Huai Jin sobbed, and stood by the empress dowager's side with an obedient face. With her eyes lowered, she secretly observed everyone present.
"Where are the people by the princess' side!?" Her Majesty shouted to the side.
Cui Xiang's heart sank, if these fifty people continued, her own life would be taken, she anxiously opened her mouth to beg for forgiveness: "Princess! Save me, your servant. Please spare my life. "
Being praised so suddenly by Li Consort, Zhao Yang didn't know how to reply and could only stare blankly at Li Consort.
After being interrupted by the Li Consort, Huai Jin also understood what was going on. She held the empress dowager's hand tightly and stared in the direction of Princess Zhao Yang, the grievance on her face turning into resentment.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, aren't you going to ask An Ping what happened?"
The empress dowager was afraid that Huai Jin would put her hand on her arm and sighed. Her sharp eyes swept towards Cui Xiang who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me, how did a princess fall into the water?"
Although Cui Xiang did not raise her head, the gaze from the empress dowager had already made her feel numb behind her back, let alone the fact that she had clearly felt a warning gaze.
"Reporting to the empress dowager, this servant doesn't know how the princess fell into the water. It's just that before she left, she said she was going to find the Prince Jin and told us not to follow." After thinking for a moment, Cui Xiang pushed Prince Jin out without hesitation.
Huai Jin didn't know who the Prince Jin was, but looking at the Li Consort a moment ago, Zhao Yang and the empress dowager's attitude, the reason why he entered the water himself was obviously related to that Zhao Yang.
Huai Jin did not think too much into it. She lifted up the palace maid's head and gave his a resounding slap on the face.
This palm was sudden and clean, causing everyone around to be stunned. Yuwen Fei looked at Huai Jin deeply, his eyes were filled with laughter, as he had seen this play.
"Don't I know how I fell into the water? You're talking nonsense here?! " Huai Jin shouted in anger.
"This servant doesn't dare!" Cui Xiang lowered her head, the tears that had stopped fell from her eyes once again.
"Ping Er, how do you think you fell into the water?"
"What that palace maid said is right. I was the one who called An Ping out." Huai Jin was about to reply, when she heard a deep and gorgeous voice. The voice covered that Huai Jin had not finished chanting the words, and the owner of the voice stood out. A pair of phoenix eyes lightly fell on Huai Jin's body.
Once he said that, the people around him started to hiss and discuss amongst themselves. Their gazes were strange as they looked at Prince Jin, who came out to accept the situation.
No matter what happened between the two of them, and why did Prince Jin push Huai Jin into the water, even if … No matter what, bullying a woman by a man was not a good thing.
The Prince Jin did not care about this at all, but the person beside him did not want his master to be criticized, so he said angrily: "Princess, do not listen to that woman's nonsense. Prince Jin has clearly been sitting here the whole time, and he has never left for even a moment."
"Pfft." Li Consort couldn't hold back her laughter, and looked at Prince Jin with an uncontrollable smile. The indifferent face of Prince Jin darkened unconsciously.
Seeming as if he could not endure that gaze, Prince Jin took a step forward and stared fixedly at Huai Jin with her deep and serene eyes. "This king called out Princess Anping."
"Shuo'er!" The empress dowager had never pursued this matter with sincerity, and since the Prince Jin had stepped forward to shoulder the responsibility, she reprimanded Ping Er lightly, "Ping Er does like you, but you shouldn't bully her based on how much she likes you!"
Hearing that, Huai Jin was startled, then she raised her head and carefully sized Prince Jin in front of him. Their four eyes met, and Prince Jin cautiously glared at her.
Since he did not inherit the original owner's memories, Huai Jin naturally could not obtain any more information from this glance. But since she was the master of this body, there were some things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Huai Jin pursed her lips, and pointed at Prince Jin with a face full of determination: "Then, Prince Jin, when did you say I left the seat?"
When Huai Jin said this, the crowd went into an uproar, but Yuwen Fei acted as if he had found something fun, straightening his body, he looked at the two of them without blinking.
Prince Jin never thought that after she warned Huai Jin, she would actually question him, is she breaking the agreement?!
"Huai Jin! "Stop messing around." Prince Jin scolded in a low voice, his tone faintly arrogant.
Huai Jin was stunned, she looked at Prince Jin with a bit of astonishment. From the moment she had woken up, everyone had been calling her Princess Anping, so she had always thought that the original owner's name was An Ping. But when the Prince Jin shouted, Huai Jin realized that An Ping was only a title, and the original owner was the same as her name, Huai Jin.
This mistake caused Prince Jin to think that Huai Jin had finally figured it out and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But before he could fully relax, he heard Huai Jin's tearful accusations.
"You can help others with this, but that's because I like you. If you do, I won't pursue this matter any further. That person also owes you a favor!" Huai Jin snorted, there were tears in her eyes but they were stubborn enough to not fall, her appearance made people's heart ache even more.
Huai Jin continued with tears in her eyes: "But I've suffered such grievances because of you, have you ever thought about it for me!"
The two sword-like eyebrows of the Prince Jin deeply knitted together as he glared at Huai Jin. From the moment the person next to Huai Jin had told him that she had been carrying that kernels all this time, he constantly reminded Huai Jin. Usually, Huai Jin would be obedient, but today … Prince Jin had a headache.
