Yan Xiu's phoenix eyes swept coolly over the bowed heads of the people kneeling: "Who saw it? Stand up and answer."
At his words, the already trembling crowd lowered their heads even further.
Beauty Zhou, supported by Mingzhen, staggered out from the inner room. Before she even reached Yan Xiu, she was already choking with sobs: "Emperor, you must stand up for this concubine. This concubine truly saw that it was someone in bright green clothes who pushed this concubine into the water."
By the time she finished speaking, Beauty Zhou had already come close. She bent her knees, about to kneel down.
"Please, Emperor, do not blame Princess Consort De. Princess Consort De only acted impartially after hearing what this concubine said."
Mingzhen supported Beauty Zhou, and the two of them knelt down together.
