Bai Ying had already suffered great physical and mental damage, and now he was kicked by Ouyang Qi. He vomited blood and fainted.

Bai Wei looked at the person who fell not far away and frowned slightly. The anesthetic needle in her hand lost its effect instantly, and she looked at Ouyang Qi's back with displeasure.

If there weren't so many people here and there wasn't some distance between them, fighting would have been too obvious, so she would have stabbed him with the silver needle in her hand!

Ouyang Qi started the operation in one go, his movements were crisp and clear, but after he finished all this, he froze in his tracks.

What did he just do?

Protect Bai Wei?

No, he just didn't want this dirty bitch to cause trouble in the palace. Yes, that's it!

"It's bad enough that you defiled the palace, but you even dared to commit murder in public. As the King of Eastern Qin, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous here!"

This sentence was explaining the trajectory of his actions, but who was he explaining it to? Was it to the people present, or to herself? He couldn't tell.

Bai Lian's eyes were filled with shock.

Just now, she saw clearly that it was Ouyang Qi who stood up to protect Bai Wei.

He used to despise Bai Wei, but now he took the initiative to protect her. Why? Of course, it was because of Bai Wei's bright and beautiful face!

Thinking of this, Bai Lian wanted to rush forward immediately and use her sharp nails to poke Bai Wei's face into pieces. But she couldn't do that. If she did, she would be pinned down like Bai Ying and would never be able to turn things around.

Ouyang Qi stared at his son for a long time, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and finally said lightly: "Catch her and put some clothes on her. Don't let her pollute the eyes of others."

The two maids hurried forward and helped the palace maid put an outer coat on Bai Ying. Then they looked at Ouyang Ming, waiting for his decision.

Ouyang Ming glanced at her with disdain and said, "Take her away, give her 20 heavy beatings with the cane, and send her back to Minister Bai's residence so that he can discipline his daughter properly."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Your Majesty, the Wang family had already sent betrothal gifts to the Bai residence and had an engagement with the third young lady of the Bai family. Although what happened today was absurd, the two of them were legitimate. Now that the third young lady of the Bai family has become like this, can I ask for mercy for her and not beat her again?"

Ouyang Ming didn't want to bother with such trivial matters, so he said, "Forget it, let's confine her to Minister Bai's residence for three months and copy the Women's Virtues and Precepts a hundred times."

Concubine Wang curled her lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty is kind and compassionate. After the Third Miss of the Bai family wakes up, she will definitely be grateful for your kindness. She will definitely cultivate her mind and cultivate her character in the future and will never do such a ridiculous thing again."

After saying that, he glanced at the maids who were dragging Bai Ying. The maids understood what he meant and started to drag her away.

Bai Wei immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although the Bai family has arranged a marriage for my third sister, she said that she does not want to marry Wang Ren. I do not believe that someone who does not want to marry can't help but do such a thing in the palace. Please investigate this matter and find out who deliberately framed her and seek justice for my third sister!"

Of course, she didn't want to seek justice for Bai Ying, because Bai Ying framed her and ended up hurting others and herself. This was her own justice.

She said this just to hope that Ouyang Ming could investigate further and find the connection between Bai Lian and this matter. In order to find the antidote, Liu Xing also gave Bai Ying a love dice. If Bai Lian also had it, he could drag her into the water.

If it is discovered that she used this poison to frame her sisters, her reputation will be ruined and she will have a chance to regain her luck points.

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wang narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Lian.

Bai Lian was also a little frightened.

Although the palace maid who delivered the message has been dealt with, Bai Ying herself is the biggest hidden danger. She might let it slip during the investigation that she is the mastermind behind everything, and then she will be finished.

When Concubine Wang saw Bai Lian’s expression, she instantly understood and her disappointment in her reached its peak.

Not only did he fail to do his job well, but he was also caught by someone. What kind of vision does Qi'er have?

But she couldn't let Bai Wei make things worse. After all, if she wanted to investigate, many people would know about it. If she really followed the clues and implicated Bai Lian, it might affect Qi'er because of the previous incident. Even if the Wang family and the Bai family were to get married, they would probably be laughed at.

Thinking of this, she looked at Madam Rong.

Madam Rong nodded in understanding and left quietly.

When Concubine Wang saw Rong Mama leave, she raised her eyes and said, "General Bai, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that Wang Ren forced Third Miss Bai?"

Bai Wei was not surprised that Concubine Wang protected Bai Lian. She felt a burning sensation in her heart, and was afraid that the time she would wake up... was running out.

"That is not what I meant. There is a smell of medicine in this room. I am afraid someone has used some poisonous drugs, which has led to the current situation. I proposed an investigation firstly to give justice to my third sister and Minister Wang, and secondly, I think there should be a truth in everything. Because only in this way can we live up to the four characters "upright and fair" on the emperor's palace."

The four characters on the plaque were written by the late emperor himself, and then craftsmen were ordered to make it with pure gold. Bai Wei's words were equivalent to putting Ouyang Ming in a high position. If he did not agree, he would be unworthy of the ancestral plaque.

Ouyang Ming originally wanted to handle it lightly. After all, this matter sounded serious, but because Wang Ren and Bai Ying were already engaged, it was not a big deal.

He wanted to smooth things over, but Bai Wei's words put him on a pedestal, and he couldn't get down. The look he gave Bai Wei was no longer as friendly as before: "Then let's check it out!"

No one likes to be threatened, let alone he is the emperor.

Bai Wei was a little strange today. She spoke impulsively and without leaving any room for others to talk. Her eyes... were also very red.

At this moment, a voice came: "I beg the emperor not to continue investigating this matter!"

The voice did not come from someone else, but Bai Qian.

She didn't know why Bai Qian came, but she knew he would definitely not stand on her side!

Bai Qian entered the hall with a dark face. He glanced at the people around him, especially when he saw Bai Wei. He gritted his teeth slightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Your Highness, I am Bai Qian. I greet the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."

Ouyang Qi nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal: "My dear, please stand up. Do you mean that we are not going to investigate this matter anymore?"

Bai Qian stood up and said again: "My daughter and Minister Wang already have an engagement. Although what happened today is not decent, it is not a big deal. We just need to get married as soon as possible. But if it is investigated, this matter will surely be known to everyone, and the reputation of my daughter and Minister Wang will be ruined."

Concubine Wang also echoed, "Minister Bai is right. This matter is not suitable to be promoted. Your Majesty, the Bai family's eldest daughter has always been at odds with her younger sister. Maybe what she wants is not something aboveboard, but just to ruin her third sister's reputation."

When Bai Lian heard this, she also hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, Ying'er is our half sister after all. She has our father's blood flowing in her body. How can you treat her like this? If today's incident gets out of hand, how will Ying'er cope with it? I'm afraid she might even want to hang herself."

Under Bai Qian's leadership, with one word from each person, Bai Wei instantly changed from a good sister who wanted to help her sister find out the truth, to a vicious elder sister who took advantage of others' misfortunes and took personal revenge.

Bai Wei stared at the person in front of her, her blood boiling, her eyes red, the love dice that she had suppressed with the thousand-year-old cold jade finally began to backfire, the emotions in her heart were growing, and her anger was vented with her emotions: "May I ask, father, is this really for the good of my third sister, or are you afraid that the marriage with the Wang family will fail and block your path to success?"

Bai Qian was slightly stunned: "Unfilial daughter, how dare you speak to your father like this!"

After saying that, he rushed forward with a quick step, raising his hand to hit Bai Wei. But as soon as he got in front of Bai Wei, Bai Wei spit out a large mouthful of blood at him, pouring all over his head, and then lost consciousness and fell backwards.
