"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi respectfully agreed, and walked out from behind the screen with red apricots and green peaches.

Chen Sujin deliberately looked at her sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Today, Wu Bilian slandered you and the Prince's Mansion, which is not right, but it is not right for you to let Yahuan beat her." ”

"I don't want you and Wu Bilian to break out into a bigger conflict and deepen the development of the situation before Your Majesty comes to deal with this matter, and I just let you avoid her."

"Now, she has been temporarily taken away by the correctional center, you can wait here and wait for Your Majesty to send you!"

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi knew that she looked like this, and she deliberately showed it to the people present, to show that she was not partial, she was very cooperative, and nodded obediently.

Soon, Bai Weiqi, accompanied by the little girl in Tsing Yi, entered the hall.

There were already quite a few people standing in the hall at this time.

In addition to the dean Chen Sujin, Xiao Qiongzhi's master and servant, and Zhang Ruoyao's master and servant, there were also more than ten female students who were newly found by Chen Lingfengzi from the correctional institution and were sitting next to Xiao Qiongzhi's table at that time.

Bai Weiqi was afraid of people talking too much, and begged Chen Sujin to allow him to talk to Xiao Qiongzhi one step.

Chen Sujin waved his hand: "Just now, Wu Bilian, the third lady in General Wei's mansion, saw Xiao Qiongzhi having lunch, and bought five dishes to eat with the two maids, blaming her for being too wasteful. ”

"She said that the economy of the Prince's Mansion is becoming more and more constrained, and even the Bai family, which supports the daily expenses of the Prince's Mansion, can't bear it, so she has to let your second son Bai leave the county lord of Zhongling, repair the plank road, and secretly cross Chencang."

"Second Prince Bai, I have heard a little about His Majesty's decree to you last night."

"Since you specially came to me today to ask to see Xiao Qiongzhi, you might as well clarify in public now, what is the ins and outs of this matter?" Chen Sujin said, with a look of curiosity on his face.

Bai Weiqi looked at her, at Xiao Qiongzhi, and at the people around her.

After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and explained in a sad tone: "Everything is a misunderstanding. ”

"My little servant Su Quan, yesterday had a harsh affair with the two sisters of the Yan family, Yan Shuhui and Yan Shuyan, in public, and I had nothing to do with it, I didn't know it at all."

"The jade pendant in Yan Shuyan's hand, although it is indeed mine, it was not given to her by me, it is very likely that Su Quan, who keeps my daily belongings for me, likes her, and stole it from me to give her in order to please her."

"It's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't believe my explanation at all, and only believes the words of the Yan sisters."

"He thinks that Su Quan's mistakes, even if there is no direct evidence to prove that I instructed them, fully shows that I, the master, have an unshirkable responsibility."

"He thinks that I must be responsible for the innocence of the Yan family sisters, and I have to insist on the decree that I should divorce the county lord Zhong Ling and marry the Yan family sisters-"

"Huh?" And this kind of operation? Xiao Qiongzhi was taken aback when she heard this.

She asked curiously, "What about Su Quan?" Since it was him yesterday, he was harsh with the Yan family sisters in public, why didn't His Majesty think that he would be responsible for Yan Shuhui and Yan Shuyan? ”

"When His Majesty sent someone to confront Su Quan, Su Quan didn't know who killed him."

"There is no proof of the matter of Yu Pei, otherwise, Your Majesty would not have believed Yan Shuyan's words." Bai Weiqi explained with some regret.

Xiao Qiongzhi was speechless for a while.

It seems that the evolution of things is very different from my original expectations.

Bai Weiqi said again: "Zhi'er, it has been rumored from the outside world that Lord Zhongling went overseas to study and did not want to come back, you are not her, but a stand-in that the prince found from the state of Chu in order not to make Mrs. Shizi sad." ”

"But every time I go to the Prince's Mansion to give New Year's gifts, and when I go into the inner house to greet the Crown Princess and the Princess, I meet you many times, and I hear people call you the county lord, tell you the truth, are you the county lord of Zhongling?"

"You said it all, Lord Zhongling went overseas to study and didn't want to come back, it was a rumor from the outside world."

"So, do you choose to believe the rumors, or choose to believe the facts you see, don't you have any points in your heart?" Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at Bai Weiqi lightly, and asked in a deep voice.

Bai Weiqi thought for a while and said, "Zhi'er, I believe in the facts I saw. Please also believe me, I have no two hearts for you, heaven and earth can be learned! ”

"Although I don't know, why Wu Bilian, the third young lady in General Wei's Mansion, fabricated the facts and slandered you, me, the Prince's Mansion, and our Bai family."

"But I know that if you go with me to your majesty now, tell your majesty that our love is stronger than gold, and ask your majesty to withdraw his will for the sake of our marriage."

"I believe that even if Your Majesty can't promise us, you will be able to dispel all rumors, are you willing to go?"

"I don't want to go." Xiao Qiongzhi won't be so stupid.

She has never liked Bai Weiqi, just because she knows in her heart that Xiao Zhengzhen doesn't like Bai Weiqi either, and she will definitely find a way to justifiably ruin her marriage with Bai Weiqi.

Besides, throughout the ages, which emperor's holy decree has really been withdrawn?

Since Bai Weiqi said that the holy decree required him to divorce him and marry the Yan family sisters, then unless the Yan family sisters died before they got married, it is impossible for this matter to be changed.

"Why?" Bai Weiqi looked disappointed.

In fact, he didn't expect Emperor Dongxing to retract his will, and he fought the idea of letting Xiao Qiongzhi and the Yan family sisters, three maids and one husband.

"Because our marriage is purely the order of our parents and the will of Your Majesty."

"I myself have always just regarded you as a brother, I have never been tempted, there is no affection for Jin Jian at all, I really can't do it to help you, and go to bully you." Xiao Qiongzhi replied calmly.

Bai Weiqi was immediately struck.

He never thought that the truth would be like this.

He said a little unwillingly: "Zhi'er, I don't believe that you have never been interested in me. ”

"I clearly remember that nine years ago, when I went to your house to give a New Year's gift, I met you outside your grandmother's yard, and you said to me very clearly, you like me so much, and let me play the game of marrying a bride with you."

"Second Master Bai, nine years ago, I was still a child, how can I count as a child?"

"I remember when you were eight years old, when you went to my house to give a New Year's gift, you met the county lord of Jinhua who came to my house to play, and also accompanied her and played the game of marrying a bride together. She also said that she likes you so much. ”

"So, are you going to make her accountable to you for that?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked with a smile.

"Zhi'er, I was playing games with the county lord of Jinhua in front of you at that time, in order to make you happy, you misunderstood." Bai Weiqi made a mistake for a while, and after a long time, she explained seriously.
