The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 120: Palace Summons
The next day, Bai Qianxi stretched comfortably and climbed out of bed.

When she finished packing, Ye Beiling was already waiting in the living room.

Today he was neatly dressed and looked very energetic, not at all like the weak look he had yesterday. Bai Qianxi observed him carefully again and was relieved to be sure that his cold had completely recovered.

"Since you're okay, I'll go back first."

Ye Beiling saw that she was about to leave before she could say a few words to him. His eyes dimmed for a moment and his magnetic voice rang out, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"We agreed to stay until you recover from your cold and then leave. It's time for me to go back." Bai Qianxi refused without hesitation.

Ye Beiling's eyes became darker.

Bai Qianxi seemed to have seen nothing and left. She had always seen clearly the relationship between them.

When I arrived at the Bai family’s gate, before I entered the house, Bai Yan walked over quickly with a look of impatience on his face.

"Why did you come back just now, you rebellious girl? Did you know that the emperor just sent a verbal order for you to enter the palace as soon as possible?"

"Why don't you hurry up and clean up your clothes? Remember to be careful with your words and actions after entering the palace, and don't make His Majesty and the noble lady angry!"

Before Bai Qianxi had the chance to ask what was going on, Bai Yan had already impatiently pushed her into the carriage.

"Remember, speak nicely in the palace, and mention your sister more often when you have nothing to do."

The carriage moved forward and soon arrived at the palace.

Bai Qianxi got off the carriage and, led by the young eunuch, walked through the long corridor to the main hall.

Before I even entered, I could sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere inside.

In the hall, Emperor Dongli had a sullen face and looked extremely unhappy. Next to him sat Chu Yingruo, who was pretending to wipe her tears.

After a quick look around, it seemed that the person who came this time had bad intentions. Bai Qianxi already had a basic judgment in her mind.

But even so, Bai Qianxi was not at all flustered and just bowed respectfully.

After Bai Qianxi entered the palace, Emperor Dongli couldn't help but look closely at the person in front of him. He saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and every move she made was graceful.

A thought flashed across his eyes.

"Get up." After waiting for a while, Emperor Dongli finally spoke.

Even though she was in such an awkward situation, there was no trace of strangeness on Bai Qianxi's face, as if everything was as it should be.

"I often hear the third brother talk about you. You seemed pretty good the last time I saw you. I didn't expect you to be so wrong."

There was no emotion in Emperor Dongli's voice, but the heavy dragon might pressed down directly towards Bai Qianxi.

How could an ordinary girl in the boudoir endure this? I believe that in a short while, her true colors will be exposed.

But Bai Qianxi still had a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

Emperor Dongli was a little surprised to see Bai Qianxi's behavior. "You are quite patient, but I heard that you have made things difficult for Ying'er several times. I wonder what she did wrong to make you so unhappy?"

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of making things difficult for the princess. It's just that I failed to please her a few times. I didn't expect that when these things came to your attention, it would be regarded as me making things difficult for her."

"And there doesn't seem to be any laws in Dongli. All the servants and I are supposed to do as the princess orders." Bai Qianxi answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, without any guilt on her face.

Emperor Dongli retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Yingruo, "Ying'er, what do you have to say about Miss Bai Wu's answer?"

"Uncle! She lied to you. This woman is the most despicable! She is so scheming! You don't know that she was even at my third cousin's house yesterday... She even ran around and kicked me out. Until now, my third cousin has not allowed me to go to his place!"

"And she even deliberately fell into the water on the cruise ship to seduce my third cousin!"

Thinking of the injustice she suffered yesterday, Chu Yingruo couldn't help but feel angry when she looked at Bai Qianxi!
"You must make the decision for Ying'er... I have never been wronged like this since I was a child. Now my third cousin won't allow me to go to his place to play. Am I so annoying?"

As she spoke, Chu Yingruo picked up her handkerchief again and wiped her tears, looking very sad.

Emperor Dongli didn't expect that this matter had such a close relationship with Ling'er, and thought of Ye Beiling.

He loved and hated her. She was obviously the most suitable person to be a monarch, but he fell in love with a woman of such status and insisted on marrying her!

When he thought of this, Emperor Dongli wanted to vomit blood.

The look he gave Bai Qianxi was once again filled with scrutiny and dissatisfaction, his tone full of questioning, "Is what she said true? What did you do at the Third Brother's place yesterday? What did you say to him? Why would the Third Brother treat Ying'er like that!"

"I didn't say anything. I appeared in the Third Prince's residence yesterday only to treat his cold. As for what happened between the Princess and the Third Prince after she came, I don't know."

"Because after the princess arrived, I have already retreated. If the princess is curious about why the Third Prince treated you like this, you should ask the Prince in person instead of coming here to ask me."

Bai Qianxi's answer was well-reasoned and she didn't seem to be lying. "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the Third Prince. The servants in the mansion at that time can also testify for me."

"You! You are lying!"

"If it wasn't for you, why would my third cousin kick me out? We have been so close since we were young!"

Looking at Bai Qianxi's indifferent performance, Chu Yingruo couldn't wait to stand up and start blaming before Emperor Dongli even opened his mouth.

"Princess, I'm just a doctor. How can I influence His Highness? Instead of questioning me here, you might as well think about whether you have done something wrong and offended someone." Bai Qianxi's tone was helpless, as if she was sincerely considering her.

Chu Yingruo felt that Bai Qianxi looked even more hateful like this!
"My Lord used to have such a good relationship with my third cousin, but since you showed up, he has become a different person to me!"

"But Princess, from what I know, your relationship with the Third Prince wasn't that good before." Bai Qianxi spoke slowly, and her words were like a steel blade, stabbing straight into the other person's body.

"Or is it that you are deceiving yourself, Princess?"

"you!"

Chu Yingruo's heart was filled with rage, but she couldn't utter a word at this moment. She could only stare at Bai Qianxi fiercely with her eyes.

Seeing that Ying'er was so devastated by a little concubine's daughter that she couldn't say a word, Emperor Dongli was about to speak to end this farce.

Suddenly, a figure strode into the hall.

The trembling eunuch beside him could only apologize, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I couldn't stop the Third Prince."

"You go out first." Emperor Dongli waved his hand slightly, looking at the people who appeared below with a headache, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Bai Qianxi, "Third brother, why are you here?"
