She clenched her fists tightly.
Was it because the effects of the medicine had yet to fully take effect?
She was too anxious. She should have waited a little longer!
The tea that Xie Xingyun had placed on his lips stopped for a long time. When he saw Bai Xianyu lower her waist and lower her slender white neck, as well as the exclamations and sighs coming from below the stage, the edge of the cup quickly cracked and instantly turned into powder. The hot tea poured on the table. His hand that was originally holding the teacup clenched into a fist, and his eyes were as dark as ink.
After Bai Xianyu finished dancing, the redness on his face intensified. It was unknown if it was because of the heat.
Emperor Wu Xuan revealed an appreciative gaze. “Not bad, Ning’er and Bai Xianyu will be rewarded later!”
Li Changning was so angry that she only said, “Thank you, Father.”
She left the stage angrily.
Bai Xianyu’s body swayed a little, but she still found her way and bowed to Emperor Wu Xuan and the people at the banquet.
Sitting at her seat, Li Changning glared fiercely at Bai Xianyu and called Qiao’er over. “Go and add in two more packets for Bai Xianyu!”
Qiao’er responded and left immediately.
Bai Xianyu sat there obediently and looked straight ahead, staring blankly at the pastries in front of her.
Seeing this, Qiao’er approached with a tray and a golden pouch in her hand. “Miss, the tea is cold. The… wine you wanted is here. I’ll change it for you.”
Bai Xianyu did not say anything. Qiao’er only assumed that she could not hear anything anymore. Her words were meant for the people beside her. She immediately changed it.
After changing it, Qiao’er did not leave. Instead, she stared at Bai Xianyu as she drank it shakily before returning to report.
This time, Li Changning could be said to have used the longest patience in her life.
Li Changning only moved in surprise when Bai Xianyu suddenly stood up and walked to the back. She was fretting about how to call her away. Now that she had stood up herself, wasn’t this a chance given by the heavens?!
She had been in the limelight just now. In a while, Bai Xianyu’s reputation would be ruined!
Li Changning gritted her teeth and said, “You forced me to do this. I wanted to let you lose your composure to vent my anger, but 1 didn’t expect you to be so lucky that you dodged it!”
“Let’s see how you dodge this time!”
Bai Xianyu’s appeared in the palace, as if she had lost his way. She stood at the fork and looked around with a confused gaze.
At this moment, a hand grabbed her arm. Her cold and sticky voice was like a beautiful snake sticking out its tongue. “Sister Xianyu, where are you going? Why don’t I help you find the way?”
Bai Xianyu opened her eyes slightly in confusion, as if she was curious about who she was.
“Do you want to go to the toilet? I’ll take you there.” Li Changning pulled her arm and dragged her into the palace.
Bai Xianyu did not say anything and smiled at her. This was the first time Li Changning had seen Bai Xianyu at such a close distance. Her skin was indeed fair, and her lips were red and her teeth were white. She said angrily, “Let’s see how you can bewitch people after today!”
The two of them passed through a rockery lake and arrived at the depths of the palace. There were no lights here, and it looked a little scary. Li Changning had already asked someone to prepare it. The man inside was also drunk.
She forcefully pulled Bai Xianyu’s clothes to her shoulders, revealing her shoulders. Even her lotus-colored undergarment was faintly visible. Then, she tugged her belt loose, and—
Suddenly, a fierce force came from behind.
Li Changning was caught off guard and fell to her knees in the hall!
“Bai Xianyu!!” Her knee was cut. When she reacted, she screamed, “You lied to me!!”
Bai Xianyu calmly closed the lock that Li Changning had prepared.
As soon as it closed, Li Changning pounced on the door and shook it with all her might. The veins on her neck popped out as she said in a panic, “How dare you plot against me! Let me out quickly. If my father finds out, I’ll definitely make him punish you with the death penalty!”
Bai Xianyu smiled. “Then 1’11 wait for you to come out to make the complaint.”
“Bai Xianyu!!”
“Let me out!!”
“Don’t come over! I’m Li Changning! I’m Father’s favorite princess. If you… Ah! Let go!!”
When Bai Xianyu received the cup of tea, she realized that something was wrong. A sinister gaze kept staring at her.
She put down the teacup and ate the pastry to see who it was.
In the end, she met Li Changning’s sinister gaze.
She thought for a moment and understood what was in the tea. In her previous life, Li Changning had also drugged her, but she did not drink that glass of wine.. Xie Xingyun drank it for her…
