A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Father, I have indeed been drugged."

Gu Yanjin's eyes were bloodshot.

"If you don't come to this bedchamber, how can others drug you? Shut up, all of you! Anyone who dares to say another word will be severely punished."

The Emperor isn't stupid; how could it be possible for three people to be given medicine at the same time?

This is the sleeping quarters of Gu Yanjin and Liu Yulan. Who could have known they would come here?

I was hoping to save some face, but these three are completely unrepentant and only want Bai Luoluo to be their scapegoat.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe there is more to this matter than meets the eye."

The Empress's face paled slightly.

"Bai Luoluo, are you happy now? I never expected you to be so vicious."

Gu Yanjin glared at Bai Luoluo with resentment, looking as if he wanted to devour her.

"Miss Bai is not vicious at all. It is truly an eye-opener for me to see the Third Prince like this."

At this moment, Gu Yanchi walked over from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw Gu Yanchi exuding a cold aura, looking at Gu Yanjin with disdain.

"What does Fifth Prince mean by this?"

Gu Yanjin raised his eyes and asked.

Damn it, is he here to help that bitch Bai Luoluo?

"When I came out to sober up, I saw my third brother and Miss Liu embracing intimately... and then I went straight to their bedchamber."

I understand that you two are engaged, and it's understandable that you might lose control of yourselves.

However, since you've blamed your own mistakes on a weak woman, I feel it's necessary to clarify things for Miss Bai.

After all, General Bai fought valiantly for the Western Ling Kingdom, and his beloved daughter was unjustly insulted; the soldiers on the border would surely not let this go unpunished.

Gu Yanchi's voice wasn't loud, but his murderous aura instantly pressed down on Gu Yanjin.

"Thank you, Prince Xiling, for standing up for me and speaking up for me. It doesn't matter if I'm wronged and insulted, as long as the Third Prince is happy. After all, I'm just a nobody and no one will believe me."

Bai Luoluo pretended to wipe away her tears with the corner of her clothes, looking extremely aggrieved.

The idea of ​​cannon fodder and villains teaming up to suppress the male and female leads sounds really exciting!

Bai Luoluo is pretending to cry now, but she's actually overjoyed inside.

Seeing her cover her face and sob, Gu Yanchi moved closer to Bai Luoluo's side.

He said in a low voice, "With me here, you don't need to suffer any injustice."

Before coming here, Bai Luoluo told Gu Yanchi not to say anything and just to watch quietly.

Her main concern was that she didn't want Gu Yanchi to be suspected by others; she was capable of handling this matter on her own.

However, Gu Yanchi could no longer tolerate Gu Yanjin's repeated slander against her.

This is his fairy maiden, beautiful inside and out.

The Empress looked at Gu Yanchi with a hint of confusion in her eyes. It was truly strange that he was completely unharmed.

"Your Majesty, my daughter was born young and died young, leaving behind only this one bloodline. Now she has been framed and insulted. I beg Your Majesty to do justice and give my granddaughter the due.

At this moment, Zhang Qingyang stepped forward.

Bai Qianqian looked at Zhang Qingyang, her eyes filled with tears.

Isn't she her granddaughter? Why does everyone like that bitch Bai Luoluo?

"Fifth brother, you're talking nonsense."

Gu Yanjin glared at him fiercely.

"Alright, all of you shut up."

The Emperor roared angrily.

"Father, I have truly been wronged."

Gu Yanjin kept protesting his innocence.

The emperor frowned as he looked at him.

He sighed slightly.

"Liu Yulan, Bai Qianqian, now that you two have had intimate relations with the Third Prince, the Ministry of Rites will select an auspicious day for the principal wife and concubines to enter the residence together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yulan and Bai Qianqian kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"The Third Prince was flogged twenty times, confined to his quarters for three days, and had his salary deducted for one year."

The Emperor spoke in a majestic tone.

"My son, I accept the decree."

Gu Yanjin kowtowed repeatedly, his body trembling with anger, clearly showing his resentment.

But things have come to this point, and continuing to make a scene would be detrimental to him.

"Bai Luoluo has been wronged. I hereby bestow upon you ten thousand taels of gold as compensation."

The Emperor turned around, looked at Bai Luoluo, his eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.

Ten thousand taels of gold!

My goodness, she's struck it rich.

This emperor is just to her liking; she likes this compensation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Luoluo bowed and expressed her gratitude.

The Empress looked at Bai Luoluo with resentment. Her carefully laid plans had been completely ruined, and now her Jin'er was being punished.

"Miss Bai, now that things have come to this, I see that you are of marriageable age. Why not take advantage of this auspicious day and I would like to help you find happiness? Since you do not love the Third Prince, what do you think of the Heir Apparent of Marquis Anyang?"

The Marquis of Anyang, who was named, looked rather grim, but he understood why the Empress had done so.

Marquis Anyang is the Empress's own brother, and Bai Luoluo's status is special, so she must be taken under his wing.

Lu Yunshen, the heir of Anyang, frowned slightly, his face clearly showing his resistance to the marriage.

Bai Luoluo had a notorious reputation, how could Lu Yunshen not know about it?

She followed Gu Yanjin around shamelessly; he didn't want to marry such a woman.

However, since his aunt had spoken, he had no right to refuse at that moment.

Bai Luoluo frowned slightly; the Empress really had no intention of letting her go.

Even at this point, they're still thinking about arranging a marriage for her.

"I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but I am ugly and unworthy of Prince Anyang."

Upon hearing this, the Empress sneered disdainfully.

"Knowing that you are not good enough for her, you should seize this opportunity. If you do not like Prince Anyang, and I do not know which young master Miss Bai has taken a fancy to, I will grant your wish."

Holy crap, they're determined to arrange a marriage for her.

Bai Luolu cursed inwardly, wishing she could tear the Empress's hypocritical face to shreds.

But in a world ruled by royalty, she had no choice but to endure it.

Gu Yanchi's face was extremely ugly. He naturally knew the importance of Bai Luoluo. The Empress was determined to control Bai Luoluo so that she could help Gu Yanjin in the future.

This is too obvious a scheme. Now that he doesn't know if he can get rid of the Gu worm, wouldn't marrying Bai Luoluo be harming her?

In fact, the Emperor also intended to have Bai Luoluo settle her marriage. After all, Bai Hao was away from the capital for many years, and he had heard about Bai Luoluo's bad reputation. If she were past the age of 12, wouldn't even fewer people be willing to marry her?

Seeing that she couldn't avoid the situation, Bai Luoluo felt resentful and indignant.

Damn it, it looks like she absolutely has to choose one today.

"According to the rules, the eldest sister must get married first. Today, Her Majesty the Empress is choosing a suitable husband for you. Eldest sister, do not miss this opportunity."

Bai Qianqian said hypocritically.

That implies that no one wanted Bai Luoluo, and only by using imperial power to force someone to marry her would she be willing to do so.

"Qianmei has the mentality of an old mother; if you didn't know better, you'd think she was my elder."

Bai Luoluo said sarcastically.

That idiot, she's everywhere.

"The heir of the Marquis of Anyang is gentle in nature, outstanding in talent and learning, and also incomparably handsome. Miss Bai should take a good look at him; this could be a perfect match."

The Empress smiled gently, as if she truly cared for Bai Luoluo.

"Your Majesty the Empress means that I may choose either one."

Bai Luoluo's eyes swept over the many noble young men, and finally her gaze landed on Lu Yunshen.

Her glance just now startled some of the young noblemen, who all avoided eye contact as if Bai Luoluo were a plague.
