Fortunately, Noble Consort An had no intention of approaching. She merely stood a few steps away and gracefully stretched out her hand to point. Her footsteps stopped.
The small peach forest was on the right side where Xie Xingyun and Bai Xianyu were hiding. If they entered, it would be very difficult not to be discovered.
Bai Xianyu’s breathing was very quiet, so quiet that even her own heartbeat was magnified countless times in the night.
However, another majestic footstep sounded, accompanied by a dignified laughter. “Flowers match beauties. 1 think Rou’er is more delicate than flowers.”
As he spoke, he walked to the peach forest.
Bai Xianyu was blocked by Xie Xingyun and could not see at all. She could only tell where he had stopped based on his voice.
Xie Xingyun caressed her waist as if he was comforting her.
Emperor Wu Xuan did not come in. He just walked to the peach tree closest to him and looked at it carefully. “If you like it, 1’11 get the people from the Internal Affairs Department to send a few trees to your palace tomorrow.”
Noble Consort An leaned over like a little bird. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Accompanied by Emperor Wu Xuan’s boisterous laughter, everyone gradually walked away.
As soon as they left the rockery, Xie Xingyun rushed out from another path with Bai Xianyu in his arms and disappeared in a few moves.
Bai Xianyu’s heartbeat finally returned to normal. She took a deep breath and Xie Xingyun placed her on a corridor. She asked, “Why are you here too?”
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows and said, “1 saw that something was wrong with you, so 1 followed you.”
At the same time, in the inner hall, the woman’s shrill cry was especially terrifying.
When Emperor Wu Xuan arrived with his arm around a beautiful woman, he frowned fiercely. “How dare you! Who is making a racket in the hall?!” “Someone, open the door!”
The voice inside suddenly paused. When the woman’s voice disappeared, the man’s voice became louder.
“Beauty… don’t run away from me…”
Noble Consort An could not help but cover her face with her sleeves, and lowered her slender eyebrows coquettishly, “Your Majesty, it’s my fault. I actually let you encounter such an indecent thing…
The guard swiftly chopped off the key. Just as he was about to kick open the door, a familiar voice came from inside!
“Father, Mother, save me!”
“Ning’er!”
Noble Consort An’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately shouted, “All of you, close your eyes! If news of today’s incident spreads, 1 definitely won’t let you off!”
“Yes…”
Emperor Wu Xuan’s face was as black as coal. He said angrily, “Li Changning! Why aren’t you at the banquet and have come here to meet a man in private? You’re really capable!”
Li Changning hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door, and knelt down with a plop. “Father, it’s not what you think! Someone framed me!”
Noble Consort An also immediately knelt down. “Your Majesty, don’t be anxious. Someone must have framed our Ning’er. This lock was locked from the outside just now. Moreover, how could our Ning’er fancy such a man!”
Emperor Wu Xuan’s face was incomparably dark. “How do you know if she had not directed and acted on her own? If you had not said that you wanted to watch the show and wanted me to come along, how could such an ugly matter be exposed on the spot! Perhaps this isn’t the first time!”
Li Changning’s heart trembled as she kowtowed repeatedly. Blood immediately appeared on her forehead. “Father… Father, I’m not… I was framed. It’s Bai Xianyu!”
Emperor Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes. “Who are you talking about?”
Midway through the banquet, Xie Xingyun stood in the corridor with his arms crossed and his bent legs leaning against the pillar.
Bai Xianyu stood right in front of him. She tilted her head slightly and took off the hairpin on her head. “Fortunately, I was prepared. Otherwise, she would have really harmed me.”
Xie Xingyun glanced at the clear color in the hairpin.
“… Cloud Fragrance?”
“Yes.” Bai Xianyu stared at the slightly swaying liquid inside. “To be precise, it’s diluted Cloud Fragrance.”
Xie Xingyun touched his chin. “You want to drink it and pretend to be drunk?”
“Even so, it can create the illusion that she’s drunk. This Cloud Fragrance is used by Noble Consort An to fight for favor, so it definitely won’t be brought up on the table. Otherwise, someone as suspicious as Emperor Wu Xuan would definitely associate it with the methods she had used in the past.” Bai Xianyu analyzed, “It’s just that it’ll be a little troublesome to get out of the palace when I’m drunk… Can you help me tell Ji Shuang?”
If she was not really drunk, she probably wouldn’t be able to hide it.
If she was drunk, those words that the maidservant had said for the bystanders to hear which she had thought could clear her name, would become her evidence..
