The Empress instantly felt relieved and said to Su Xinyi: "You really know how to persuade people. Alright, I understand. You can go back now."
Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, then quietly returned to the Crown Prince's side.
As she walked back, she noticed that His Majesty had already returned to his seat. His expression was calm and composed, showing no abnormalities and revealing no hints about his thoughts on You Xiangrui.
Although the banquet continued, the atmosphere had already shifted significantly.
Looking over at
Duchess Wu'an and You Xiangrui at her side, Su Xinyi could not see You Xiangrui's face as she kept her head lowered. It was the triumphant expression of Duchess Wu'an that irritated Su Xinyi.
Feeling indignant for the late Empress and the Crown Prince, she thought to herself that this was the true nature of relatives, those capable of stabbing one's back.
Damn it!
"What did you say?"
