Several people’s faces changed again.
Xiao Hanjin pursed his lips, “Your Highness.”
This cry of his, there was no back and forth really completely not knowing what he was trying to express.
But Su Miao thought, it should be a refusal it can’t be a salute, right?
Hua Nishang couldn’t help but say in a very impulsive tone, “Your Highness, what mistake did I make that I need to be arrested?”
As soon as this voice of hers rang out, Di Bei Yu’s brows knitted tighter.
Hua Jin Yi also shook her head at her, signalling her to shut up.
Su Miao lifted her eyes and glanced over, this face belonging to Hua Nishang was indeed still intact, so it reminded her of that palace maid who died tragically last night, “Are you sure you want to let me prove that you’ve made some kind of mistake right now instead of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, begging me to let you off the hook?”
Hua Nishang’s pupils shrank.
For a moment, she actually did think about whether this woman would be able to spare her if she begged for forgiveness.
But before she could think of anything, the woman’s cool voice once again carelessly sounded, “Of course, even if you beg for forgiveness, it’s useless, because the one you should be begging for is already dead either you go down and beg with her.”
“Su Miao!”
Hua Nishang suddenly shouted shrilly, her anger spewing out!
Di Bei Yu’s face finally sank completely, “Hua Nishang!”The man’s cold and stern sight swept over, his stern voice even deeper than hers, “Are you not clear about your identity, who gave you the guts to shout at her?”
Hua Nishang’s face went white.
Hua Jin Yi’s gaze flickered, “I’m sorry.”
The man frowned, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Hua Jin Yi pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, “I know that what I did caused you trouble, but …… since Nishang came to me, I can’t just watch my own sister go to her death like that.”
Kissing sister.
Su Miao hadn’t inquired about this noble consort’s identity, but looking at the empress dowager’s attitude towards her, she knew that they were very close.
Now sure enough, it was the Hua family.
Su Miao curled her lips sarcastically, “Sisterly love, what a touching play.”
Her brows were abruptly cold, “But has it ever occurred to Noble Consort Hua that the courtesan who was hacked to death might also have a sister who loves her so much …… only that people are not as lucky as the county princess, and don’t have a Noble Consort sister to save her from death.”
Hua Jin Yi couldn’t help but frown as she listened to the sarcasm that filled her words, “I would never casually take the lives of palace maids and eunuchs, but Concubine Xian, now that the person is dead, do we really want Nishang to pay for her life?”Her tone was stoic and tough, “Not to mention that Fu Zi has already paid for that palace maid’s life, as for Nishang she may not be related to this matter yet.”
Not necessarily related?
The sarcasm under Su Miao’s eyes became more and more dense, she did not intend to preach with the ancients about the idea of equality of all people, so at first she just listened with an expressionless face, until Hua Jin Yi finished speaking, she finally looked at Di Bei Yu, “Your Majesty, do you think the same way?”
You?
Emperor Bei Yu met her gaze and his gaze abruptly sank, “I have not said so.”
“No?”She laughed, “Then you mean that you can arrest her?”
“…… Su Miao.”
His eyes condensed, and he was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
But even when he opened his mouth, he was not nodding.
Su Miao thought expressionlessly, now at this juncture, what was the meaning of calling her name?
She had avoided starting a conflict with him from the moment she entered the door, but now, after all, was it necessary to start?
