Chapter 516 Waiting for His Royal Highness to have a drink

"Your Majesty—" Zhao Xiwei stretched out his hand and said respectfully, "I am willing to drink this wine!"

The emperor's cough stopped suddenly: "Crown Princess?" It was obviously unbelievable.

Zhao Xiwei looked at him calmly, and spoke loudly and resoundingly: "I am a descendant of the Shen family, a descendant of the Zhao family, and a concubine of the Eastern Palace! I am willing to use my own efforts to restore the innocence of the Shen family and the Zhao family. An innocence, but also the truth to His Majesty—”

"You... aren't you afraid?" The emperor firmly grasped the armrest of the chair, leaned his upper body slightly, and repeated in a deep voice: "If this wine is poisonous, you will be dead...Aren't you afraid?"

Zhao Xi lifted the hem of his skirt slightly, and knelt down straight: "I would like to share the worries for Your Majesty, and my son will not be afraid!"

As soon as the words came out, the emperor's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and sighed: "Good!"

The wonderful thing about this is that she neither defended the Shen family, nor complained for the Zhao family, but chose to express her loyalty - as long as she can find the truth for His Majesty, even if it is death, I am willing.

I have been an emperor for a long time, and I have seen all kinds of people. There are strong officials, treacherous officials who are greedy for life and fear of death, and even some powerful officials who hide their secrets. Some of these people are afraid of death, some are not afraid of death, But few would swear to him so frankly.

"Okay! What a fearless one!"

The emperor suddenly became excited: "Sure enough, he is the one the prince likes! He is affectionate, righteous and courageous!"

As he spoke, he cast a glance at the Zhao family members who were on the side.

As the mother's family, you are really cruel!

As the emperor, he couldn't bear to let the princess take this risk, just in case - if there was something tricky in the wine, the prince would have nothing to say, just because there was nothing wrong with the wine, With the prince's temperament, he must be angry with him...

"That's right, you really have love and righteousness!" The queen mother swept her long sleeves and ordered in a cold voice: "Chang Ying, why don't you serve the wine soon?"

"Yes." Chang Ying held a full glass of wine in both hands, "Princess, please drink!"

Zhao Xiwei was kneeling in front of the emperor at this time. According to the rules, Chang Ying should also kneel.

But instead of kneeling down, he raised his chin slightly and looked down at Zhao Xiwei with his nostrils, with a look of arrogance and contempt on his face, for fear that others would not notice it.

Zhao Xi smiled lightly, raised his arms slightly, and walked towards the wine glass.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, so quiet that even the sound of a petal falling could be clearly heard.

The old lady's legs went limp, and she weakly supported the old woman beside her, staring at her blankly, and murmured: "Sister Wei...my sister Wei..."

She has lived for decades, and she thinks she has tasted all the ups and downs, and has seen many ups and downs, but it is this moment that she truly understands the crisis of the building's collapse.

The emperor and the empress dowager are right in front of her eyes, and her most valued granddaughter is about to die in the underworld. However, as a grandmother, she can only watch and do nothing.

Zhao Ziyi, who had been fairly calm since receiving the order, also yelled in a trembling voice: "Wei'er, no...don't drink!"

The emperor straightened up suddenly: "Zhao Ziyi!"

This sound was urgent and severe, with questioning, puzzlement, and faint murderous intent.

Everyone was startled!
The emperor has always been gentle and benevolent, even when he was angry again, he never had this kind of murderous intent.

Zhao Ziyi obviously felt the emperor's emotions.

But he just froze for a moment, then flipped his sleeves, and the wheelchair turned suddenly, and he was about to rush towards Zhao Xiwei——

"Come here—" the emperor's pupils shrank, and he was about to give orders.

At the critical moment, Zhao Xiwei took the hand that touched the wine glass and quickly withdrew it.

"Wait!" She yelled coquettishly, and the guards who were about to move around gave a meal.

"Miss Wei?"

"Princess?"

Everyone cast their gazes over, some with doubts, some with surprise, and some with joy... Lines of sight criss-crossed together, like a big impenetrable net, firmly locked on her.

Zhao Xi raised the hem of his skirt slightly, Shi Shiran stood up, and bowed to the emperor Yingying: "Your Majesty, I forgot an important thing!"

The Queen Mother was waiting to watch a good show, and when she saw that she had stopped drinking, she immediately couldn't hold back her anger: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xiwei gently raised his wide sleeves, smiled slightly, and bowed calmly to the emperor, saying: "Just now I accidentally let the wine wet my sleeves, if I drink like this in front of your majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my manners, please give me some advice from your majesty." If there is a chance, Rong Erchen will come back after changing clothes."

"Presumptuous!" Before the emperor could speak, the queen mother gave a cold drink and ordered: "The crown princess refuses to comply with the order, take it down for me!"

"This……"

The guards around hesitated for a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't dare to move for a while.

As we all know, the one in front of you is the favorite of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Who is so short-sighted and dares to rush up first?

The guards dare not, but some dare!

"Yes!" Chang Ying held the wine glass, approached Zhao Xiwei with a smirk, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "Crown Princess, our family will give you one last chance. Do you drink this wine yourself, or do you drink it yourself?" Our family serves you a drink?"

Zhao Xiwei just took one more look at him, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.

This is when she is sure to die?
Chang Ying raised her eyelids and reprimanded: "Crown Princess! The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty are waiting, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine!"

Seeing the joy on the Empress Dowager's face, she added another sentence through her throat: "Our family has already said that, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! In front of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, the filial piety and respect that you should have, That's nothing less than an iota!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Do whatever you want?

Zhao Xi chuckled slightly.

Chang Ying was taken aback.

"Eunuch Chang's words are really interesting!" The corners of her lips curled up, her crooked eyes stared at the person in front of her without blinking.

"What does it mean to rely on the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What is it to do whatever you want? I don't quite understand what I heard, so please give me some detailed advice from my father-in-law!"

There was clearly a smile in her eyes, but the light in her eyes was as cold as frost, which made people want to back away for no reason.

"This..." It was the first time Chang Ying saw her like this.

After becoming the crown princess, Zhao Xiwei has always shown others with a soft and gentle side, and suddenly became strong, not to mention Chang Ying's uncertainty, even the queen mother and the emperor were also taken aback for a while.

The master didn't make a sound, and the aura of being a slave immediately became half lower.

Chang Ying twitched the corners of her mouth, and forced herself to calm down: "The Crown Princess refuses to drink and delays time deliberately, isn't she just waiting for His Royal Highness? Our family is right?"

"Oh?" Zhao Xiwei just smiled when he heard the words, "You really guessed it right!" His eyes turned, quite conceited: "This palace is really waiting for His Royal Highness—" He glanced at the door Outside, the smile grew stronger, "Wait for him to drink with me!"
