Chapter 1257

Empress Dowager Zhou knit her brows and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Ning was thinking that she would go all out. The Zhao Rong princess had come to accuse her first, accusing her in front of Empress Dowager Zhou and splashing dirty water on her, so she might as well return the favor.

She took out a small cloth bag and presented it with both hands, "Mother, please take a look at this and you'll understand this minister's wife's meaning."

Empress Dowager Zhou gave Su Jin a look. Su Jin picked it up and placed it in front of Empress Dowager Zhou, gently opening it.

There were several flying knives inside. The edges were sharp and the cold aura was quite intimidating.

The two of them did not understand and looked at Chen Ning.

"When the princess used these flying knives to attack this minister's wife, the emperor was still unconscious and this minister's wife did not know martial arts. If it wasn't for Zhui Feng arriving in time, this minister's wife would have been killed by the flying knives ….."

Before she finished, Empress Dowager Zhou and Su Jin both took in a cold breath.

Empress Dowager Zhou said without even thinking, "Nonsense, that's impossible! There's no such thing! "

Chen Ning calmly said, "This minister's wife will never accuse a good person. Mother, please carefully look at the handles of these flying knives and you'll know if this minister's wife is telling the truth or not."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhou and Su Jin looked at the handles of the flying knives and saw that there was a small "Rong" engraved on the handles. The two of them recognized the Zhao Rong princess' handwriting, it was without a doubt Zhao Rong's handwriting.

Empress Dowager Zhou was speechless and Su Jin did not doubt her at all.

After the Zhao Rong princess returned to the capital city and came to see Empress Dowager Zhou, she had indeed performed her flying knife skills. The size and shape of the flying knives were exactly the same as the ones in front of them.

At that time, Empress Dowager Zhou and Su Jin were filled with shock and praise.

Hearing Chen Ning's words at this time, even Empress Dowager Zhou's heart was filled with doubt. Could it be that Zhao Rong really dared to rebel and assassinate the empress?

Chen Ning saying this was not wrongly accusing Zhao Rong princess, she was just purposely blurring out the location of the matter, but the truth was the truth.

"After Zhui Feng intercepted the flying dagger that the princess shot at this minister's wife, the princess was in a fit of anger and said a few unpleasant words, slandering this minister's wife's innocence. Mother has just said that insulting this minister's wife is equivalent to insulting the royal family's dignity, so this minister's wife sent Zhui Feng to teach the princess a small lesson. Now that I've heard Mother's teachings, I understand that this minister's wife's actions were indeed wrong. The princess committed a great crime of disrespect and this minister's wife only had Zhui Feng slap her a few times, which was too light of a punishment. I should have listened to Mother's orders and given a heavier punishment."

Chen Ning's words made Empress Dowager Zhou's chest unable to breathe and she couldn't help coughing.

"Cough cough, cough cough cough!"

She lowered her head and her old face turned red. She was secretly cursing in her heart. Why was this girl's mouth so sharp, not letting anyone off with her words. She was using everything she had just said to block her own mouth!

Su Jin was secretly laughing in her stomach. She came forward to pat Empress Dowager Zhou's back while saying in a soft voice, "Empress Dowager, pay attention to your body. The wind is strong here, so let's talk inside. The empress is still kneeling."

She was purposely giving Empress Dowager Zhou a ladder to step down.
