It's a pity that Bai Ruoqi didn't take this defeated general in her eyes at all, and didn't even take a look at her.
Huang Yueli smiled slightly, her profound energy gathering in her palms, ready to teach Bai Ruoqi an unforgettable lesson with her own hands.
However, just before she took action, suddenly, a majestic roar came from the door.
"What are you doing??"
"emperor!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Bai Ruoqi was horrified, and immediately broke into a cold sweat. She quickly hid the dagger in her hand into her sleeve, hiding the ferocious expression on her face, and turned around.
Huang Yueli was also surprised.
Seeing Bai Ruoqi immediately retracting her hand, she secretly said that she was smart, so she had no choice but to withdraw her profound power, and followed the others to bow down and salute.
The emperor stared at Bai Ruoqi with an unkind expression and asked, "Bai Ruoqi, Bai Ruoli, what were you two doing just now?"
Bai Ruoqi's heartbeat quickened, but her face remained calm as she said: "Qi... Qi, please tell the emperor, we didn't do anything, I just said a few words to Third Sister!"
"Talk? What to say?"
The emperor frowned, and the aura accumulated from being in power for a long time came out, looking very majestic.
When he and the Queen Mother came back, they heard a dispute in the banquet hall from a distance. He deliberately didn't let the eunuch make a sound. When he walked in unexpectedly, he saw the two Bai sisters and almost got into a fight!
Unexpectedly, after just a short time away, the two of them would start to argue.
It can be seen that what the Queen Mother said before was not an exaggeration at all!
The emperor saw this and was angry, and his tone was quite harsh.
Bai Ruoqi's thoughts were spinning rapidly and she knelt down hurriedly and replied: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We were really just talking. We didn't pay attention to the occasion. We were a little louder and offended the Emperor and several empresses. It's Qier's fault."
The emperor heard that she didn't mean what she said and asked Huang Yueli again.
"Li'er, what do you think is going on?"
Bai Ruoqi turned around and glared at Huang Yueli secretly, trying to warn her not to talk nonsense.
However, Huang Yueli ignored her and immediately said: "Your Majesty, we were just talking about... what happened in the peach blossom forest this morning... Second sister put medicine in my wine, which ended up harming herself. Instead, she said something about me Slander her..."
Bai Ruoqi immediately interrupted her, "That's enough! Bai Ruoli! This matter was originally about you slandering me. I've given you face and won't make it in front of the emperor. How dare you slander me?"
Bai Ruoqi looked at Huang Yueli coldly, not worried at all that she would be punished!
Originally, for a genius like her to bully her sister, as long as there were no serious consequences, it wouldn't be a big deal at all!
Therefore, today's public case, after she showed her cultivation, no longer poses any threat to her!
What Bai Ruoqi was afraid of was that she would attack her cousin in the palace. This was an act of disrespect to the emperor. If she was caught, she would always be at fault.
But now, the emperor obviously did not see her action of drawing out the dagger, and only thought that she was quarreling with Huang Yueli, so there was nothing to fear from her!
Sure enough, before the emperor could speak, the queen had already spoken first.
"Okay, I already know what happened today! This matter was all caused by that quack doctor Liu Yizheng, who was sowing discord in the middle. Just now, the emperor personally ordered that the quack doctor be sent to the Dark Moon Forest to do hard labor!"
