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

Chapter 220 Pledge of Allegiance
The other party seemed to very much hope to see Bai Qianxi refuse.

At this moment, Bai Qianxi spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity...but..." Just when everyone thought Bai Qianxi would not beg for mercy, she changed the subject.

"No matter how the Bai family treats me on a daily basis, from the current point of view, it seems to be just a misunderstanding. Even if she is wrong, it is just an unintentional mistake."

“I think no one would ignore this matter.”

Bai Qianxi spoke very honestly, without any bias in her words.

Hearing her words, Emperor Dongli nodded slightly, as if he had taken her words into account. "What you said seems to make sense."

"If this is really a misunderstanding, then I have wronged a good person, right?"

Hearing Emperor Dongli say this, everyone in the Bai family couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

No one expected that Bai Qianxi would choose to beg for mercy, and for a moment, everyone looked at her with admiration.

"I really didn't misjudge her. Miss Bai is truly a righteous person."

"Even when facing someone with whom she has such conflicts on a daily basis, she can still be impartial and upright. This is what a lady from a noble family should be like."

"I think all the rumors about Miss Bai in the past were just rumors!"

Kneeling on the ground, listening to the discussions of the people around her and the change in Emperor Dongli's attitude due to Bai Qianxi's words, Bai Qianyi couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.

Damn bitch!
Isn't it you who is responsible for my becoming what I am now?

Why are you pretending to be a good person now?
Bai Qianyi really wanted to jump up from where she was and slap the person in front of her hard, but the situation was beyond her control!
After hearing what Emperor Dongli said, Bai Yan quickly seized the opportunity to reiterate his difficulties.

Looking at the people kneeling below, Emperor Dongli suddenly smiled, "Since that's what you said, I will do as you wish."

"But the death penalty can be avoided in this case, but the punishment for living cannot be avoided. Come, give them twenty lashes! As for the crimes of the rest of the Bai family, I will not pursue them. What do you think, my dear minister?"

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Emperor Dongli's question, Bai Yan quickly leaned to the ground again.

Bai Qianyi was quickly controlled by the guards. Screams continued to be heard from behind the screen, and everyone's hearts trembled when they heard it.

By the time the torture was over, Bai Qianyi was covered in blood and had passed out. An quickly covered her with her outer robe, her eyes filled with heartache.

Together with Bai Yan, the two of them quickly took their leave and left.

The banquet continued, but everyone was still frightened, and their movements seemed a little restrained.

Until everything was over and Bai Qianxi was left alone, Ye Beiling instantly wanted to follow.

Deyu quickly said, "Your Majesty only called Miss Bai, so please wait outside."

His attitude was so respectful that no one could find any fault with it. Seeing this, Ye Beiling had no choice but to wait outside.

The light in the room was a little dim.

"Do you know why I left you alone?"

"know."

Bai Qianxi looked calm, without any sign of fear on her face. Even when facing him, the ruler of the world, she was able to remain calm.

Emperor Dongli was not surprised by her calmness, and just let Bai Qianxi continue speaking.

"Since you say you know, then tell me."

Soon, Bai Qianxi told the whole story of what happened without hiding anything.

"So that's how it is." Emperor Dongli nodded, without any surprise on his face. Bai Qianxi was also not surprised that he had investigated the matter so early.

"But even if she took the initiative to harm you, you can gather evidence to sue her, or just tell Ling'er about it. Why make it so troublesome?"

"It even caused such a flaw in my sacrificial ceremony today."

There seemed to be a hint of questioning in Emperor Dongli's tone.

Bai Qianxi's attitude remained unchanged, "I have thought about this, but..."

The two were still talking, and Ye Beiling was also pacing outside the house. He almost felt dizzy when he saw Deyu.

It was not until the door opened and Bai Qianxi appeared that Ye Beiling looked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, he finally put his heart at ease.

"What did the emperor tell you? Did he make things difficult for you?" Ye Beiling held Bai Qianxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.

Bai Qianxi felt warm at heart when she saw this, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just chatted with His Majesty about some family matters. His Majesty is very good to me."

Deyu also came over at this time, with a kind look on his face, "Your Highness, please believe His Majesty. Miss Bai is the one you like, and His Majesty will never embarrass her no matter what."

"However, I am very pleased to see that His Highness and the young lady have such a good relationship. I just asked my servant to inform you two."

"Please do not forget tomorrow's event and be on time. His Majesty is also looking forward to your performance tomorrow."

After giving these instructions, Deyu quickly chose to leave.

Ye Beiling lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him again, "I'll take you back."

"it is good."

Coming to the County Lady's Mansion again, Ye Beiling wanted to stay.

"Tomorrow is the hunting competition, you need to stay alert today. Besides, it's getting late, you should go back first."

With Bai Qianxi's concern, Ye Beiling no longer chose to stay.

Entering the mansion, two girls who were cleaning noticed Bai Qianxi and quickly nodded and greeted her.

"How are you? Are you used to this place?" Bai Qianxi was a little concerned. These two little girls also had hard lives.

Considering their age of only seven or eight years old, if they were in ordinary families, they would be the apple of their parents' eyes.

Faced with the concern, the two little girls seemed a little shy, but they quickly answered Bai Qianxi's questions.

Seeing that they were fairly used to the situation, Bai Qianxi continued to look around and found that the two little girls did a good job of cleaning.

"You guys stay like this for now, and I'll see if I can heal your faces after a while."

Amid the little girl's grateful voice, Bai Qianxi continued to walk to the inner courtyard.

As soon as they entered the room, two figures quickly knelt down with a plop. "Dongmei and Dongju greet the master. From now on, the master is our new master."

The sudden oath of allegiance surprised Bai Qianxi a little. Only after asking carefully did she know what it was.

It turned out that her performance today seemed to make Emperor Dongli quite satisfied with her, and he chose to accept her existence.

As the prince's consort, from now on these two maids who were former secret guards were completely hers and would only obey her orders.

It will not be like before, where they would report Bai Qianxi's actions after a while.

"In that case, get up first. You have been with me for such a long time, you know my character."
