"Princess! Marshal! Lord Ke Xing!" Although the Minister of the Military had a respectable position and seniority, Du Xixi and the others weren't much inferior, so the Minister didn't put on airs and was the first to greet them.
This wasn't the first time the Minister of the Military had seen Du Xixi. He had already met this seemingly frail yet mistake-free new Marshal's Wife at the previous National Day ceremony when he attended on behalf of the Military Department.
The Minister of the Military saw Du Xixi nod her chin gracefully, carrying the elegance of the Imperial Family with her fine manners, and thus felt an increased respect for her. He said solemnly, "These seven people are the culprits involved in the poisoning incident!"
A poisoning incident with seven culprits — it's not hard to guess that this must have been a collaborative effort. One wonders what roles they each played in this incident.
