"Damn you, Chen Zunming!"
When the voice rang out, Chen Yi jolted.
The hand that had been taking liberties with Lin Wanxiao immediately loosened its grip.
Min Ning wiped the blood off her face, glaring at him with raw intensity. Her phoenix eyes flared with layered anger and an inexplicable hint of... grievance.
Chen Yi opened his mouth, seemingly ready to say something, when the Empress Dowager clasped her hands at her waist and walked forward leisurely, her every move graceful and composed.
"What are you looking for me for?"
The Empress Dowager furrowed her brows and asked:
"I am his mother."
The moment those words were spoken, Chen Yi stumbled backward and almost fell.
Yin Weiyin glanced up, snickered a few times, then quickly checked herself and stepped back.
Min Ning, upon clearly seeing the Empress Dowager's face, couldn't suppress her panic and instinctively started to kneel in salute. Chen Yi, however, stepped forward and pressed her shoulder.
