"Shut up!"
Nangong Ning was just about to speak for herself when the Empress Dowager's piercing gaze stopped her.
"As a princess, what do you know besides causing trouble all day? Do you think Yue, with her gentle and weak nature, is easy to bully? Do you intend to harm her in broad daylight?"
"..."
Nangong Ning opened her mouth but didn't speak, only glaring at Yun Ran with eyes full of 'murderous intent'.
Harm? Hmph! She really wanted to kill that eyesore of a woman! Gentle and weak? Could it be that the Empress Dowager's eyesight has worsened with age?!
"Your reckless nature also needs to be curbed. I shall punish you..."
Before the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the Crown Prince bowed to her solemnly and said:
"Royal Grandmother, I believe that even though the Ninth Prince was present and knows the general situation, some things can't be judged accurately unless witnessed firsthand."
