The balance in everyone’s hearts subconsciously leaned towards Bai Xianyu.

“Miss Bai is so soft and weak like a sheep. I was afraid of scaring her when 1 spoke to her a little louder in the past. Why would she frame the Seventh Princess?”

“I think it’s the Seventh Princess… It’s not like she hasn’t done such bullying before.”

“Just now, the Eldest Princess said that the Seventh Princess has a grudge against Bai Xianyu. Look at the man beside Bai Xianyu. Isn’t that the answer… All these years, all the girls who are related to the Marquis of the Northern Garrison have been pranked by her!”

“No wonder the Eldest Princess refused to give the nod. If Li Changning really marries Xie Xingyun, I’m afraid there won’t be a day of peace in this backyard.”

Noble Consort An could not maintain her composure when she heard the small discussions. Although she could not hear it clearly, it was not anything good!

Seeing that Ning’er was at a disadvantage, she could not sit back and do nothing.

“Your Majesty! It’s all Ning’er’s fault. She shouldn’t have lost her manners in front of everyone, but this matter concerns her… Any other girl would panic and not know where to go. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and forgive her mistake. Give Ning’er a chance. I’ve watched Ning’er grow up. Ning’er won’t casually frame someone. She must have her reasons for saying this.”

The Empress Dowager did not say a word. Her gaze swept across Li Changning, Bai Xianyu, and Xie Xingyun.

Emperor Wu Xuan suppressed his temper. “If you say that Bai Xianyu isn’t drunk, then take out the evidence and let everyone see it!”

Noble Consort An looked weakly at Empress Li, who was sitting upright at the side. Then, she glanced at the man holding the medicine box and pleaded, “Isn’t the divine physician Gu Yu still here? He even has a way to treat Sister’s illness. Isn’t he more than adequate to tell if she’s pretending to be drunk?”

Gu Yu was not from the palace, but a capable person who had been recruited by a ten-thousand-yuan bounty. After prescribing medicine to Empress Li for a month, she could already get out of bed.

Emperor Wu Xuan gave him a deep look.

Gu Yu said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “This commoner is willing to share Your Majesty’s worries.”

Emperor Wu Xuan nodded. “Investigate carefully. If you say anything false, bring your head here!”

Empress Li was stunned, and then her eyes were filled with sorrow.

Gu Yu took out a medicinal herb from the medicine box, crushed it, and smeared it on his hand. When he arrived in front of Bai Xianyu, he was about to take her pulse when he was stopped.

“Wait.”

Emperor Wu Xuan saw that it was Xie Xingyun and did not say anything.

Xie Xingyun took a handkerchief from his body and placed it on Bai Xianyu’s fair wrist.

The others could not see his expression clearly.

However, Gu Yu understood and looked at Bai Xianyu thoughtfully.

“That’ll do.”

Only then did Gu Yu put his hand on it.

Li Changning looked at this scene nervously. Her palms were sweating. She should be pretending!

Noble Consort An was equally nervous. Although the Emperor doted on her, he was not without a bottom line.

A moment later, Gu Yu smiled and said, “Your Majesty, Miss Bai is indeed drunk.”

Emperor Wu Xuan glared at Li Changning. “What else do you have to say?!”

Li Changning still did not believe it, but the person who examined her just now was someone her mother had invited. Her words were a slap to her mother’s face!

“Father, even if she’s drunk, before she was drunk, she definitely had…”

Emperor Wu Xuan interrupted her. “Shut up.”

Li Changning and Noble Consort An knelt on the ground at the same time. The latter still wanted to speak, but Emperor Wu Xuan did not give her a chance.

“Besides you, how would anyone else in this hall know about this complicated path? How would she make preparations to frame you? What enmity does she have with you that she has to pick now!” Emperor Wu Xuan waved his hand and snorted coldly. “I punish you to face the wall and reflect on your actions. You will be grounded in the Princess’s residence for three months and copy the Female Virtues and Moral Commandments a hundred times!”

Noble Consort An heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed on behalf of Li Changning. “Yes.”

“If anyone dares to speculate what happened today, 1 will punish him severely!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Fortunately, it did not cause a huge disaster. They had reached there in time. Ning’er’s clothes were just a little disheveled. With just those guards, no one would leak it out.

Noble Consort An looked deeply at Bai Xianyu.

Emperor Wu Xuan looked at the two of them resentfully and said, “Xianyu was frightened today. I’ll get Ning’er to personally apologize to your residence another day.”

Li Changning scratched the ground with her fingers and blushed in humiliation.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they understood.

Bai Tanshen and Bai Jingyuan’s only biological sister. It would not be a surprise if she was conferred the title of princess in the future.

Below the stage, Fifth Prince gritted his teeth. His good mother and sister were really extremely stupid. Why did they provoke Bai Xianyu for no reason? After three months, he would personally drag her to apologize.

Xie Xingyun brought Bai Xianyu down the stage. The banquet continued, and it became boisterous again.

However, just as he put the girl down and sat down, she fainted in his arms..
