Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 94 The Emperor Is Coming (2)
When Empress Ning heard the Queen Mother's words, her face was a little hot, a little ashamed, and a little annoyed.What's embarrassing is that this action has indeed lost her status as a queen, and what is annoyed is that the queen mother is merciless in her words and does not save herself any face.

But she knew that she would never give in, even if it was embarrassing, she would admit it.

This is not a question of being virtuous or not, nor is it that she wants to vent her anger for her nephew.It's about this matter, which is related to her status and interests, and even affects the future of a pair of children. Compared with these, losing a little face and losing a little reputation is nothing?
Thinking of this, Empress Ning said with a sneer: "My mother's affairs have nothing to do with me, so I can naturally make sarcastic remarks from the sidelines. However, it is related to my nephew and my reputation. How can I not make it clear?"

"Empress Dowager, my daughter can prove that what I just said is correct." Guo Changxi suddenly said to the Empress Dowager.

"Oh? How to prove it?" The Queen Mother suppressed the anger in her chest and asked with a slightly relieved tone.

"On the day when the incident happened, there was another person present besides the courtier's daughter, who witnessed the incident with his own eyes, and was even almost implicated and injured. And she is here now, the empress dowager might as well ask her, Let's see if the minister is lying or not," Guo Changxi said.

When Su Wan heard this, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother asked with great interest: "Oh? Who is that person?"

Empress Ning also glanced around the crowd indifferently, her expression unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

Guo Changxi didn't look sideways, opened her vermilion lips lightly, and said in her natural voice: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it's Madam Changwuhou."

As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Su Wan, but it was definitely not a look of envy or jealousy, but a hint of pity.

Empress Ning followed everyone's gaze and looked at Su Wan with deep meaning in her eyes.

The bad premonition came true, the smile on Su Wan's face stiffened suddenly, she couldn't help scolding Guo Changxi secretly in her heart.

She finally understood what it was like to "sitting at home, disaster from heaven".

She is provoking someone, why is she involved in this kind of thing?
Moreover, she doesn't remember the crimes she has committed against this Changxi girl, does she?Why did she want to kill her?

In the real calculation, this Changxi girl owes her!

Since Guo Changxi knew that she was almost implicated by them, why didn't she apologize to her then?Even after seeing her again, he pretended not to know her, and didn't even say a word of greeting. Now that he needed her to help testify, he remembered her.

After all, that incident was indeed caused by the conflict between the two prefectures. Later, when Ning Guanglin heard Guo Changxi's voice, he became lustful, and finally got into a big fight, and even she was involved. If Fu Li hadn't made the move Save her, she will be seriously injured even if she does not die.

A slap can't be slapped. In this matter, Guo Changxi is not completely innocent, and she must at least be at fault.

That being the case, how could she have the nerve to ask herself to testify?

If the other party is not the empress, there is nothing wrong with her helping to testify, it should be regarded as a good deed, and she can even gain the favorability of the empress dowager, but the other party is the empress empress, if she testifies for Guo Changxi, she will completely offend the empress.

If the price of pleasing the Queen Mother is to offend the Queen, then forget it!
She is already besieged on all sides now, if she is added with a mother of a country, then it's okay, is she really immortal?

They can just fight, why should she be involved?This girl Changxi is not afraid of the queen with the support of the empress dowager, but she is not!
How can this be good?

In fact, Su Wan's guess was right. Guo Changxi did know that the person implicated that day was Su Wan, but she didn't take it seriously, let alone feel guilty, because she thought that in this incident, she did not Wrong, on the contrary, she felt that she was the biggest victim.What's more, Su Wan didn't suffer any injuries, why should she feel guilty?

So, she asked Su Wan to testify, but she didn't feel guilty at all.

As for whether Su Wan would be angered by the empress after she testified for her, that was out of her consideration.

"Mrs. Marquis Changwu, come and tell Ai's family what's going on? Did Changxi show up that day? Has anyone seen her face?" The Empress Dowager Yu said while looking at Su Wan.

Su Wan recovered from her stiffness, stood out from the crowd, and said bravely, "Returning to the Empress Dowager, when the concubine arrived that day, there had already been a conflict between the two houses. Later, the concubine's horse was frightened and ran wild. When I got up, Chen Qie was thrown into a daze, and had no time to pay attention to the outside situation. As for Miss Guo, she didn't show up, Chen Qie really didn't know. However, today is the first time for Chen Qie to see Miss Guo."

After hearing this, the empress looked at Su Wan less stabbingly, and said: "Empress, Mrs. Changwuhou doesn't know the situation that day, so don't make things difficult for her."

The Empress Dowager Yu ignored the Empress, and just glanced at Su Wan indifferently, and said: "Mr. Su, you really don't remember what happened that day?" Although her tone was light, the threat did not diminish.

Guo Changxi also looked at Su Wan with her autumn pupils, as if there was a trace of blame and dissatisfaction towards Su Wan.

Su Wan pursed her lips slightly, but didn't answer right away.

The Empress Dowager Yu did not persecute her, but said: "Don't blame the Ai family for oppressing others. This matter is really related to Changxi's innocence, and it is even more related to her life's happiness. I have to treat it carefully. I know your concerns. , you don't need to be afraid, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, the Ai family will naturally protect you. In this palace, it is not her turn to cover the sky with one hand."

Empress Ning's face turned blue and then pale, she just pretended not to hear what the Empress Dowager said, but her eyes were fixed on Su Wan.

Su Wan bit her lip, but decided to tell the truth.Although she didn't like Guo Changxi very much, she hated the culprit of that incident, Ning Guanglin, even more. If it weren't for his daring, what happened today would not be the case.

What's more, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. It is impossible to have everything in one place without offending anyone.Life is always faced with many choices, and now it is time for her to make a choice.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the concubine remembered that that day, Miss Guo stayed in the sedan chair and didn't show up. There should be no such thing as being frivolous." After Su Wan said this, she suddenly felt light in her heart and couldn't help but whispered. in one breath.

After all, she is unwilling to lie, not for anyone, but for her own peace of mind.

Even if Su Wan said so, Guo Changxi still cared very much about Su Wan's failure to testify for her just now. Even if Su Wan changed her words now, her impression of Su Wan was not much better, instead she felt that she was a fool.
