dn't ask any more questions.After Shi Eleven left, Sun Gaoting eagerly turned to Lan Chu Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, this… could this be our chance to ascend to heaven"In Sun Gaoting's view, with th...Hearing the Empress say this, An Xue Tang suddenly burst into laughter, “To be honest, I really don’t want to kneel.”

" " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Everyone present was shocked by An Xue Tang's arrogant attitude.

She is now facing the Empress Dowager of Tianba Kingdom, how dare she be so bold and disrespectful, not putting the Empress in her eyes!

Seeing An Xuetang's attitude, the Empress glared viciously at her, then glanced at the nanny, "The Princess of Beijang disrespects the royal court, slap her!"

Grandma immediately nodded. "Yes."

She walked up to An Xuetang with a dark face, and without saying a word, she raised her hand to slap An Xuetang hard.

Of course, An Xuetang wouldn't just stand there and let her attack. Ning'er and Shou'er are here too; they wouldn't possibly just watch this woman harm An Xuetang.

Before the old woman's hand could even reach down, Ning'er stepped forward two paces and grabbed her hand. She then swiftly slapped the old woman back with the other hand.

Ninger used her internal force, so this mamasan's tooth was knocked out by her.

"The nanny spat out a mouthful of blood, along with a tooth. The sight made the Empress nauseous, and she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand. "Quickly, quickly, take care of this for me!"

The palace maids knew the Empress's cleanliness obsession, and they immediately came out to deal with these dirty things.

The Empress then pointed at An Xuetang viciously, "An Xuetang... You... You are too arrogant!!"

An Xue Tang remained calm and collected, staring straight at the Empress, "I'm curious to know, Mother Empress, what reason you have for wanting me silenced"

"You defy the law, disregarding this palace, shouldn't you be punished"

"To say I'm lawless Empress Dowager, tell me how I've been lawless. Where did you get the conclusion that I've disregarded you You can punish me, but give me a reasonable reason first, otherwise... your daughter-in-law won't accept the punishment!"

The Empress was originally plotting against An Xue Tang and Hua Xiang. Now, seeing An Xue Tang's resolute attitude, she hesitated in her heart. What confidence did An Xue Tang have

Is she truly ignorant, or does she actually hold some leverage

Thinking this, the Empress narrowed her eyes slightly, “Well then, I shall ask you, why did you beat Hua Xiang to such a state She had only gone to Prince Bei Jiang’s mansion to visit Mo Yun Chen, what right did you have to lay a hand on her”

"To have wounded her so grievously You truly believe that becoming the Princess Consort of Beijiang grants you the right to be so willful and reckless"

"Mother, can anyone testify Or is there any evidence to prove that I made Hua Xiang like this"

The Empress narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean Don't you want to admit it You have the guts to do it but not to own up"

"I may not have many virtues, but I am bold and take responsibility for my actions. Mother, if you can provide even a shred of evidence proving that I harmed Hua Xiang, I will not shirk my responsibility. Right here, right now, I will offer myself up to death as atonement!"

Seeing An Xue Tang say this, "asking with a clear conscience," the Empress subconsciously looked at Hua Xiang, beginning to suspect that perhaps Hua Xiang had deceived her.

Hua Xiang knew exactly what the Empress's eyes meant. She quickly shook her head and explained:

"Mother, I didn't lie. It's all because of An Xue Tang. The day I was carried back to the house from Beijang Wangfu, many people saw it with their own eyes. If Mother doesn't believe me, she can ask someone to investigate!"

"Hua Xiang, you were brought back from the Beijiang Royal Residence, that's true. But does that prove you were injured by me"

"You!" Hua Xiang didn't expect An Xue Tang to deny it. She gritted her teeth and glared at her, "You... You dare swear to heaven that you didn't hit me"

An Xuetang's lips curled into a knowing smile, particularly when she saw Hua Xiang's slightly changed expression. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I, An Xuetang, swear to heaven that I did not lay a hand on you!"

"And you Hua Xiang, do you dare swear to heaven that you haven't slandered me"

In Hua Xiang's view, the injuries she sustained at Beijiang王府 were all caused by An Xue Tang, so she firmly believed that it was An Xue Tang who had beaten her.

So, without thinking, she raised her hand and swore, "I, Hua Xiang, swear to heaven that it was An Xue Tang who turned me into this state. If not, I, Hua Xiang, shall meet a terrible end... Phew!"

Huaxiang's vow had just finished when she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, a mouthful of black blood.

Those maids, seeing this scene, were all startled.

While everyone else was in turmoil, the Empress and the Nanny remained composed. They exchanged a glance, as if they were pleased to see that the poison they had administered to Huaxiang was starting to take effect.

An Xue Tang and Ning'er, Shou'er had long seen that Mama had tampered with Hua Xiang, so the three of them were very calm at this moment.

At this moment, the Empress came to her senses and pointed at An Xuetang, roaring, "An Xuetang, what have you done to Hua Xiang"

"... "

An Xuetang smiled helplessly, “Mother, I have always stood firm here and never touched Hua Xiang’s hair. Why does Mother think that I did something to Hua Xiang when she got into trouble Or is it…Mother wants to frame me”

Hearing the words "frame and slander", the Empress and the mama were taken aback. After all, this was their plan for today. Now that An Xue Tang had said it so plainly, they were stunned.

The Empress, realizing her blunder, flew into a rage. She pointed at An Xuetang and hissed, “How could I possibly frame you Don’t be absurd, An Xuetang!”

“Since Mother has no intention of framing or accusing me, then tell me, Mother, why did you immediately pin the blame on me when Hua Xiang got into trouble Today, there are so many eyes here, all seeing clearly. I, as well as my two maidservants, haven't touched Hua Xiang even a finger!"

The Empress glanced at the mama, seeing her raise her hand to wipe the blood from her lips. Then, she walked over to An Xue Tang, wanting to pull her to kneel before Hua Xiang.

An Xuetang wasn't stupid, and after seeing the Empress today, she suddenly felt that this Empress...seemed not to have much brains!

He wanted to use her hand to get rid of Huaxiang, but her plan was too childish!

She's so naive, thinking that just by getting close to Hua Xiang they could accuse her of poisoning It's like she has no brain at all.

When the old woman approached, Ning'er this time showed no mercy. She directly raised her foot and kicked the old woman hard, sending her crashing into a pillar.

This old woman screamed a few times, then fainted.

The Empress saw her own trusted servant beaten like this by An Xuetang's maid, and she was furious. She raised her hand and slapped the table hard, then pointed at Ning'er below, "Bold! You dare to be so arrogant in front of this palace! Come here! Bring this rebellious wretch to me and execute her!"

As soon as the empress spoke, a group of eunuchs rushed over and surrounded Ning'er. They looked like they were going to drag Ning'er away no matter what.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!ther.After Ning'er left, she pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before asking Ye Er, "Why didn't you let me follow Ning'er It's not late to go to the Prince's Mansion. I wouldn't have to wait...
