"My king, we had no knowledge at all. How would we know that the Vassal King of An'nan was going to raise troops to commit treason!"
"Right, right. This maidservant merely waters flowers in the Eldest Prince's Estate. This maidservant is innocent, wuwuwu."
All at once, various wails and shouts melded together, interrupting the eldest prince's uproar.
The eldest prince was truly shocked by the crown prince's action. He was dumbstruck for some time before denouncing angrily with a shaky voice, "You, you! You actually have no regard for Consort Dowager Shu's safety?"
As he spoke, he pressed his saber tightly against Consort Dowager Shu's neck, as if wanting to confirm whether Mo Lian truly was going to disregard her.
This created a small but obvious bloody cut on Consort Dowager Shu's neck.
