Although Hua Yin was afraid, she knew she couldn't let others falsely accuse her. As she answered Yan Xiu's questions, she gradually overcame her fear and responded clearly.
"How dare you, servant! What nonsense are you talking about now?"
Upon hearing Hua Yin mention her action against Lady Li, Noble Lady Ying got anxious and stood up from the ground to argue with Hua Yin.
"When did I give you permission to stand?"
Yan Xiu squinted his eyes and coldly questioned back.
Noble Lady Ying's body trembled, and she knelt down again, stammering, "Emperor, this despicable servant is slandering me. Lady Li and I are like sisters, and even if there were some verbal conflicts, it's a matter between sisters. How could it be as exaggerated as this despicable servant says?"
"Despicable servant, who are you talking about?" Lady Li asked in a haunting voice after being silent for a long time.
Ahem.
