At this moment, Consort Hong coughed and said gently, "Empress Dowager, why don't we clarify this matter first? In my opinion, the Eldest Princess is also a gentle child. I don't think she'll intentionally hurt her cousin."
In just an instant, countless pairs of eyes turned to look at Consort Hong.
The Empress Dowager said with barely concealed disgust, "Why didn't I know that Consort Hong has such a good relationship with Yunxi?"
'I really don't like her. The Emperor dotes on this b*tch the most. There were even a few times he disobeyed me because of this b*tch!'
Consort Hong was not flustered at all. She gently shook her head and said in a low voice, "I just feel a kinship with Yunxi. I don't want the harmony between the cousins to be ruined so I hope the Empress Dowager will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Many of the female members of the ministers' families present began to speculate if Consort Hong intended to rope Yu Yunxi to her side.
