The Queen Mother's face darkened.
To be honest, she really wanted to find out what happened today, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Bai Ruoqi a lesson.
However, the Peach Blossom Banquet was the top priority today. The emperor, queen and others were waiting at Cining Palace, so she had to put the overall situation first.
And, as Bai Ruoqi said, there is no evidence.
The things Liu Yizheng said were very old. If we want to find physical evidence and other witnesses, I'm afraid it won't be done in a day or two.
But the emperor couldn't wait any longer.
After weighing it again and again, the Queen Mother still sighed.
"This embarrassing thing happened today, and so much time was wasted! That's all, let's take Dr. Liu to the prison and lock him up for strict interrogation by the Criminal Department!"
As she said that, she glanced at Bai Ruoqi and said coldly: "Today's matter is not over yet. The Ai family believes that the Ministry of Justice will definitely bring this case to a conclusion. By then, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong! Whoever framed his sister, the Ai family will never spare her!"
After saying that, the Queen Mother stood up, never looked at Bai Ruoqi again, took Aunt Li and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and drove to Cining Palace in a grand manner.
All the ladies present woke up from a dream and remembered what they were here for today.
Having just watched such a wonderful and ups and downs drama, many people have forgotten that they are here to participate in the concubine selection banquet.
Everyone quickly arranged their appearance and, under the guidance of the palace ladies, followed the Queen Mother's guard of honor.
Bai Ruoqi escaped by chance and got up with a pale face. She felt that the clothes on her back were almost completely soaked with cold sweat.
The rich people who left in groups in front were still discussing what had just happened. Their voices did not calm down at all, and they even drifted into her ears from a distance.
"I didn't expect that Bai Ruoqi was such a person and was exposed by the Queen Mother! She should have nothing to do with today's concubine selection banquet, right?"
"That's for sure. Can the Queen Mother allow Her Highness the Crown Prince to marry such a vicious-hearted woman as his concubine?"
"Bai Ruoqi has always regarded herself as the princess! Unexpectedly, she was the first to be eliminated!"
"So, you should keep a low profile. You haven't even decided on your marriage yet, so you are so proud. Now you are making a fool of yourself, right?"
Bai Ruoqi was so angry that her head was about to smoke, but she could only hide far behind.
Normally, she likes to be in the limelight. At this time, she must be the first to show off. But now that her reputation has been tarnished, she can only avoid the crowd in despair, otherwise the strange looks around her will make her ashamed and angry. Want to die!
It wasn't until everyone was almost gone that Bai Ruoqi gritted her teeth and prepared to follow.
Although something like this happened, she would not give up before the results of the concubine selection came out!
Although it is obvious that the Queen Mother will strongly oppose her becoming the Crown Princess at the Peach Blossom Banquet, but... she still has enough cards!
After taking the bottle of Qingling Pill a few days ago, she practiced hard all night and successfully made breakthroughs continuously, advancing to the ninth level of Qi Xuan Realm!
Thinking of how surprised everyone would be when she showed her strength at the Peach Blossom Banquet, and how speechless the Queen Mother would be, Bai Ruoqi sneered in her heart.
So what if your reputation is ruined? So what if he was almost convicted
In this Tianling Continent where martial arts is respected, strength... is the foundation of everything!
I actually asked who the male protagonist was. I already gave such obvious hints in the book. Why did I have to spoil the story? well! !
