Chapter 1257 Inexplicable Question

Then Concubine Huan asked again, "Are you and Ning Yong together today?"

Xu Xu looked puzzled, and she couldn't help but subconsciously look in Wen Ningyong's direction, but Wen Ningyong still didn't look up, she just lowered her head and twisted her fingers, looking very nervous.

Xu Xu couldn't help wondering why Concubine Huan called her here?

"Ma'am, I don't know what you want to ask for calling us into the palace this time?" Xu Xu asked in a low voice.

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty is asking questions, there is no chance for you to intervene." The maid beside Concubine Huan couldn't help scolding.

Xu Xu said softly, "But I don't even know why my mother summoned me, and how I answered her questions."

Seeing Xu Xu like this, the palace man became more and more annoyed.

This time Concubine Huan stopped the palace people, she turned to Xu Xu and replied, "I heard that Ning Yong was attacked in Li's residence, the person who hurt her was the future son-in-law of the Li family?"

Hearing this, Xu Xu had a bad premonition, and she couldn't help correcting her, "To tell you the truth, the person who hurt her was Shi Pengcha from the Shi family."

Concubine Huan looked a little displeased with Xu Xu's correction. She frowned and said, "Of course I know his name."

"Let me ask you, were you really with Ning Yong when his accident happened?" Concubine Huan continued to ask.

From what Concubine Huan said, the focus seemed not to be on the affairs of the Li family, but on whether she was with Wen Ningyong.

But since she would ask such a question, Ning Yong must have answered according to the lines they had agreed on before.

So Xu Xu nodded, "Yes."

"Since you are from the same place, let me ask you, apart from slapping Ning Yong a few times, did the boy from the Shi family do anything else to get close to him?" Concubine Huan asked carefully.

Xuxu didn't expect the other party to ask such detailed questions, and her heart became more and more confused.

However, out of consideration for Wen Ningyong's dignity, Xu Xu still replied, "There was no other approach, just a few pushes during the dispute."

Regarding Xu Xu's answer, Concubine Huan didn't say anything, she just nodded, and then said to Xu Xu, "Go back first."

Xu Xu looked at Wen Ningyong, who was still sitting on the chair in dismay, and at Concubine Huan, who had turned her attention back to Wen Ningyong. Xu Xu always felt that this matter was not that simple.

But they didn't want to tell themselves that they could only leave here just like that.

But when he got to the door, he saw that the fifth prince was also hurrying here.

Xu Xu simply stopped and waited for him to come.

When he approached, Xu Xu just opened his mouth to salute the Fifth Prince, "Your Highness Fifth."

The fifth prince, who was originally solemn, raised his head to see Xu Xu, only a moment of surprise flashed across his face.

"Why are you here?" The Fifth Prince asked in surprise.

Xu Xu originally wanted to get a cliché from him, but at this time, after hearing the fifth prince's question, Xu Xu also said, "I don't know, the empress only checked me after I went in, it seems to be searching for something. After that The empress asked me again if I was with Ning Yong?"

Hearing Xu Xu's answer, the fifth prince's face sank again, but the displeasure was obviously not directed at him.

Xu Xu asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what happened?"

However, in the past, whenever he asked a question, the fifth prince would always answer him, but this time he remained silent.

He just coaxed Xu Xu, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go back first."

Xu Xu wanted to ask again, but the female officer who brought the fifth prince urged, "Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you in the palace."

Knowing that there was nothing to be asked from the Fifth Prince, Xu Xu had no choice but to go back unwillingly.
