It turned out that Xi Liangyuan came out behind Bai Susu. Seeing Bai Susu's graceful and elegant back, she couldn't suppress the jealousy and resentment in her heart.
Bai Susu wore a rouge-colored wide-sleeved cloud satin skirt today. The close-fitting cut highlighted her slender waist and made her look charming and lovely.
After all, she is now a favored concubine. Even if she doesn't want to show off, any item she takes out at random is not comparable to that of ordinary concubines.
Xi Liangyuan's eyes reddened. This cloud satin dress was not something that Bai Susu of her status could afford. She simply seduced her master and obtained it with the emperor's imperial gift!
Bai Susu is just the daughter of an eighth-rank official, what right does she have!
The jealousy in her heart was like a raging fire, which almost burned away her sanity.
Seeing Bai Susu walking very slowly, Xi Liangyuan sneered, remembering that the Queen had punished her by making her kneel for a long time in Changchun Palace. Without the Queen's protection, how long could Bai Susu be proud?
She is a good lady, and has the title "Xi" bestowed by the emperor. She feels that she is more than one level higher than Bai Susu.
Even if she let Bai Susu suffer a little, as long as it wasn't a major incident, would Bai Susu still go to the emperor to complain? She could only swallow her anger.
Thinking of this, a plan suddenly came to her mind. She walked over with the palace maids. She walked so fast that even Lady An, who was following behind her, had no time to react. Bai Susu and the palace maid Nanchun beside her were knocked to the ground by Xi Liangyuan.
Bai Susu felt a strong force coming at her, and she felt dizzy. Although Nanchun reacted in time and used his body to cushion Bai Susu, Bai Susu's palm still touched the rough ground, and blood was scraped on the spot.
"Master!" Nanchun's condition was worse than Bai Susu's. She landed in a bad posture and sprained her waist. She was sweating profusely from the pain, but she still cared about Bai Susu's condition first.
"Sister!" At this time, Lady An came over from behind with Hongying and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
As she said this, she and Hongying hurriedly helped Bai Susu and her servant up.
Bai Susu was not seriously injured, but Nanchun's face was pale.
Bai Susu looked up and looked at Xi Liangyuan coldly. Xi Liangyuan was pretty and charming, but at this moment she was looking at Bai Susu with a gloating expression, and the expression on her face was disgusting no matter how you looked at it.
She covered her lips as if she was very surprised: "Ouch, I was walking too fast and knocked my sister down."
She smiled foolishly and said sarcastically, "But since my sister has difficulty walking, she should just walk to the side and not block other people's way for no reason!"
Lady An was so angry that she was shaking all over after hearing her twisting right and wrong. Her eyebrows raised and she said bluntly, "It was clearly you who deliberately bumped into Sister Bai. I saw it with my own eyes from behind, and you're still talking nonsense!"
Xi Liangyuan sneered disapprovingly. She slowly examined her nails a few times, then raised her eyes and blinked, "You said it was intentional, right? You're good friends with Noble Lady Bai, so naturally you're protecting her."
"You!!" Lady An was so angry at Xi Liangyuan that she couldn't speak.
Bai Susu held her hand soothingly, then walked slowly to Xi Liangyuan with a cold face.
For some reason, seeing her like this, Xi Liangyuan felt a little panicked. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to hit me again?"
"Apologize!" Bai Susu's voice was like striking gold and jade, and there was no warmth in her eyes.
Xi Liangyuan raised her chin and said, "It was just an accident. Sister Bai wouldn't be so intolerant, would she?"
Bai Susu clenched her fists and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure walking towards her.
She immediately closed her mouth, bit her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Xi Liangyuan thought Bai Susu was afraid of her and sneered smugly: "You have no choice but to admit it when you are wronged. Who made me higher in rank than you?"
"Xiliangyuan is so majestic!"
Hearing this familiar voice, everyone's expressions suddenly changed and they all knelt on the ground.
Xi Liangyuan was extremely panicked. A bright yellow ribbon flashed before her eyes. Then she saw Emperor Xuan Jing lean over, help Bai Susu up, and hold her in his arms.
Seeing the emperor and Bai Susu being so intimate, Xi Liangyuan's heart sank.
Bai Susu took advantage of the situation and grabbed the collar of Emperor Xuan Jing's clothes. Her face, which had been calm just now, now looked delicate and tearful. She called out, "Your Majesty..."
The voice seemed to contain thousands of grievances, which made people's hearts break.
When he got closer, Emperor Xuan Jing discovered that Bai Susu's hair was slightly disheveled, with a strand of black hair falling on the side of her cheek, making the red mark at the corner of her eye particularly obvious.
She is not a crybaby, she must have suffered a great injustice to be like this.
He held Bai Susu in his arms, and Bai Susu showed her injured palm.
Seeing the blood-red color, Emperor Xuan Jing felt the fire in his heart bursting out.
He glanced at Xi Liangyuan, his eyes cold and his voice cold: "Who can tell me what's going on with Lady Bai's hand?"
Xi Liangyuan was extremely panicked at this moment. When she saw Bai Susu's face suddenly become weak in front of the emperor, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
But she had to show weakness. She pinched her handkerchief, seemed very aggrieved, and whispered softly: "I was in a hurry and accidentally knocked Sister Bai down. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Her pretending to be aggrieved attitude made An Meiren furious. She wanted to confront her, but she lost her momentum in front of Emperor Xuan Jing. Although she was angry at the moment, she did not dare to act rashly.
Emperor Xuan Jing narrowed his eyes. He arrived at an inopportune moment and happened to hear Xi Liangyuan's last words to Bai Susu.
Xi Liangyuan was usually cute and lovely in front of him, but was so arrogant and domineering in private, with two different faces in front of people and behind their backs, which made Emperor Xuan Jing extremely annoyed.
At this moment, Emperor Xuan Jing felt his sleeve being gently tugged. He lowered his eyes to look and saw Bai Susu pursing her pink lips, tears glistening in her eyes. She said with a hint of stubbornness and grievance, "She bumped into me on purpose. If it weren't for Nanchun cushioning her body, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand up now."
Her tears fell, burning Emperor Xuan Jing's heart. He hugged Bai Susu tighter, and his eyes swept over everyone and fell on Concubine An.
"You tell me."
Concubine An was startled. After a moment of panic, she mustered up the courage to tell the truth about what she had seen. Finally, fearing that Emperor Xuan Jing would not believe her, she said, "I swear that every word I say is true. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Her words were so powerful that Xi Liangyuan's face flushed and paled. She knew her situation was hopeless and quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was blinded by greed for a moment. Please forgive me this time!"
"It's not me you should be apologizing to, but Lady Bai." Emperor Xuan Jing's tone was noble and low, but it revealed a majesty that could not be refused.
Xi Liangyuan's eyes were in a panic and her heart was in a knot. Asking her to show weakness in front of Bai Susu was tantamount to shattering her pride.
But the situation forced her to turn to Bai Susu and said, "Sister, I offended you for a moment. Please forgive me this time."
She pretended very well, with a sincere apology on her face, but Bai Susu felt sick listening to her sister's words.
He involuntarily took a few steps back, his disgust for Xi Liangyuan clearly visible on his face.
Emperor Xuan Jing saw her stern face and laughed inwardly: "Since Noble Lady Bai won't forgive you, then I have no choice but to punish you."
"Wang Fuhai"
Eunuch Wang bowed his head and replied, "Your servant is here."
"Xi Liangyuan is arrogant and domineering, using her power to bully others. Effective immediately, her title will be stripped and she will be demoted to a concubine."
His tone was light, but it struck Xi Liangyuan like a thunderbolt.
You should know that Xi Liangyuan is the only one among this wave of newcomers who has been given a title. This has always been her honor. Now the emperor has stripped her of her title and demoted her to a concubine!
Xi Liangyuan was truly panicked. She crawled a few steps on her knees, tugging at the hem of Emperor Xuan Jing's robe, tears streaming down her face. "I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Bai Susu didn't want to see her in such an ugly state. She frowned and looked at Emperor Xuan Jing with misty eyes.
"Your Majesty, my hand hurts..."
