After a long while, without waiting for Mo Feiling to answer, he could only raise his head and watched as Bai Zhixi supported the wet body of Mo Feiling and walked towards the hall.
Helpless, they could only beg Nangong Xuan. Seeing him nod his head slightly, they quickly brought the group to the main hall.
"Prince Ling, please forgive me. It was only because I failed to teach my daughter that she was so audacious that she dared to treat you like this. Prince Ling, please forgive me for my leniency on your behalf and forgive this lowly life of mine."
At this time, the Prime Minister Bai led everyone to kneel in the hall, trembling as he spoke carefully.
The reason for this was because he knew very well that those who tried to murder the princes of other countries would be annihilated, and their strength would be enough to cause a war between the two countries. Everyone was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to even breathe.
However, Mo Feiling still sat in the main seat, his face as dark as ink and terrifying.
"Forgive... Prime Minister Bai thinks that how should I forgive them? When this prince sent out his Dongjun Kingdom, even a female of Prime Minister's Estate dared to splash talisman water on this prince, could it be that he still thinks that I am a monster? If this matter were to spread throughout the world, then this prince's reputation would .. Prime Minister Bai, what do you think will happen? "
When the cold and emotionless voice of the Prime Minister Bai fell, the moment which Prime Minister Bai had been hoping for a fluke was broken. Her pitch-black eyes contained a trace of coldness as she glared at Bai Zhilan's mother, Auntie Du.
Turning around to face the main seat, Mo Feiling spoke again in a flattering tone.
"Prince Ling, the thousand faults and tens of thousands errors are all this old official's fault. My daughter's IQ has been stuck at two or three years old ever since she lost her footing in Sanshui. I already hope that you can be magnanimous and forgive this pitiful daughter of mine. "
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi looked at the two calmly standing in the crowd, a gentle smile hung on his face, his eyes squinted, as though he was in a deep abyss, unable to see the end of it.
The person behind this was truly meticulous and treacherous. Letting a fool like Bai Zhilan be the head bird, if he were to be drenched by this rune, then he would have a way to pin her with the crime of being a monster and his entire body would be ruined just like that.
It was a pity that he never would have thought that Mo Feiling was the one to block the water talisman for him. Now that it involved the life of the entire palace and the friendship between the two nations, she wanted to see how the person behind the scenes would resolve it.
"Oh, Prime Minister Bai means that just because you are an idiot, you can throw your flyer at this prince without any fear! Your manor's way of treating guests is truly special. "
Mo Feiling's expression was cold, he spoke with seriousness, as though he was a completely different person from the playful and disrespectful prince from before.
Perhaps this was what he was like in the first place, the Prime Minister thought to himself. Otherwise, if there were no other means of survival different from normal people in that palace compound, they would have long since been devoured into nothingness.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
The crisp slapping sound was exceptionally ear-piercing in the oppressive atmosphere of the hall.
Auntie Du pulled Bai Zhilan along and crawled in front of Mo Feiling, giving her a fierce slap on the face of the dumbstruck Bai Zhilan.
"You little b * tch, don't you stay in your own yard and listen to the words of others. "Well, now that you've offended the prince, let's see who can save your lowly life."
Before long, Bai Zhilan's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Auntie Du probably knew that the matter today was no trivial matter, and cried until her beautiful face was full of tears. No one in the hall spoke to stop her. Only the sound of Bai Zhilan's crying rang through the sky.
But anyone who saw it would know that this was the Auntie Du's scheme. For his daughter's life, what was a beating worth?
Although she was scolding Bai Zhilan, she was implying that Bai Zhilan had only done such a thing because she was trusted by someone else.
But since Bai Zhilan was standing at the door with such a big commotion, how could she, as her mother, not hear anything?
If not for the tacit consent of the Prime Minister Bai, who would dare be so presumptuous? Most likely, everything would have been planned beforehand.
"Stop it, it's the new year and you're crying. All day long there will be no peace. "
His voice was as loud and clear as a large bell. Bai Zhixi immediately knew about this matter. She could really hold her cool, she had just rushed over.
Hearing that, Auntie Du stopped hitting his swollen hands, and knelt on the ground, crying softly.
After that, the Old General Bai walked in with large strides and bowed to Mo Feiling who was seated on the main seat.
"This old official pays his respects to Prince Ling and Prince Xuan! You two esteemed guests have come from afar, and this old official has come far to greet you. I am truly ashamed. "
With that said, he glared at Bai Zhixi who was standing at the side. Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he sat down on a chair, his face filled with anger.
Mo Feiling and the rest naturally knew the position of the old general in Bai Zhixi's heart.
No one made a sound in the hall. The atmosphere had changed subtly, and it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. It was a stalemate.
After a long while, Old General Bai finished his last mouthful of tea, and then he spoke and broke the silence.
"Prince Ling, please allow this old official to say a few words. Today's matter is indeed the fault of our Prime Minister's Estate, but on account of this old subject, can you forgive this foolish granddaughter of mine. This old official was over the age of ten. Fortunately, I was accompanied by a few of my granddaughters. It was not easy to get along with them. Today is also New Year's Eve, this old official only hopes that his family will be happy and reunited to celebrate. When people get old, they always don't know when they will return to the West. They only wish to see them safe and healthy for the rest of their lives, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction. When the New Year is over, this old official will not complain about whether you want to kill me or cut you into pieces. I hope that Prince Ling can grant this old official's selfish wish! "
After the heartwarming words ended, the crowd was still unable to extricate themselves from his words.
It wasn't that the cold wind had blinded her, but her tears had blurred her vision. She truly felt the warmth of a family member.
She knew that her grandfather said that he didn't like a daughter born from a concubine, but the back of his hand was covered in flesh, and he couldn't just sit by and watch his granddaughter die. Perhaps after this incident, the young madams and concubines of the mansion would have a different opinion of him!
This was definitely a good thing. At the very least, he would be able to move out of the mansion, so he wouldn't be so lonely.
"Old General Bai, I can understand your feelings, and it's fine if I agree. However, I have a request. I'll return home in a month and hope that Bai Zhixi can leave with me as my prince's consort; I can't agree to that, so I'll ask the emperor of the Dongjun Kingdom to give me an explanation! "How about it?"
His words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in the silent hall. Everyone looked at Bai Zhixi at the side, as if they did not believe what they had heard.
That woman who stayed at the ruined corner of the Prime Minister's Estate, who was ugly beyond recognition and did not understand literature, actually had someone who wanted to marry her to become the prince's consort.
However, because he was the majesty of a prince, the crowd could only feel indignant and did not dare to speak out loud.
After a long while, Bai Zhixi finally snapped out of his shock. Although he looked calm on the surface, the rage in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, causing people's hair to stand on end.
"Mo Feiling, are you crazy .. "You .."
Nangong Xuan asked, but was cut off by a wave of his hand even though he didn't expect it, his eyes remained as determined as ever.
"Fifth Miss, I beg of you. It was all my fault in the past. Since you have so much, you have to agree to Prince Ling's request in order to save your poor little sister."
It was said that a child was the flesh and blood of a mother. This saying was absolutely true. After Bai Zhilan's accident, the Prime Minister Bai, as her father, didn't say anything other than the first few words. Only the Auntie Du begged and begged for her.
From this, it could be seen that a useless daughter was worthless in his heart, let alone an outsider like her. Prime Minister Bai did not care about the bullying anymore.
"Fifth sister, eldest sister is begging you." In the past, Big Sis only watched without doing anything because she knew her status was low and her words had no weight. That's why she was so ruthless in watching you get whipped. I beg you to ignore the past and save my poor little sister Feng, since she was born with no good days to enjoy. Now that he was instigated by a villain and the Prince was messed up, if the relationship between the two nations was affected because of this, then Prime Minister's Estate would truly be a sinner. Although it's not father that gave birth to you, it's the Prime Minister's Estate that helped you grow up. People need to be satisfied and grateful! "
Bai Zhiyuan suddenly crawled in front of her and hugged her thighs. With her sad and cold words, if Bai Zhixi did not agree, then she would be an ungrateful villain, and would not have any sister's sympathy or love for him.
She seemed to be that unforgivable person. Even if she remained in capital, everyone would scold her and it would be difficult for them to keep their footing.
However, did they think that just a few words were enough to dictate her life?
"Is that so? Elder sister's words were really praising her little sister. But why should I exchange my happiness for her cheap life? Why didn't you stop me when Bai Zhilan blocked the door and splashed on me? If I had been splashed by this rune back then, would you have let me live in Prime Minister's Estate safe and sound? In the past, when I was foolishly bullied by others, someone would think that I was the same as you guys, with the same surname, Bai, and the same blood, and show mercy to me. Corrupt rice, moldy steamed buns, winter snow floated beside the well, using the cold bone-piercing well water to wash your so-called daughters' clothes. It was a scorching summer day, yet you want me to stand under the scorching sun and make targets for you to play with. Do you know how I, who was a fool at that time, felt? I tell you this feeling is worse than what you feel when you are in trouble. The feeling of being surrounded by fear, the feeling of not being able to see the light of day for the rest of your lives. I was afraid to wake up, only because I was afraid to face you like demons all day long. He didn't dare to close his eyes. That way, apart from endless fear and endless nightmares, he would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake up and see his grandfather! So, if you do, will you do it? Do you think a few words of apology would soften my heart? "
The great Prime Minister's Estate was currently completely silent. Everyone listened to her endless cold words and they were silenced, instantly enveloping the whole place in a sorrowful and sorrowful atmosphere.
The snow falling outside did not stop because it was New Year's Eve. On the contrary, because of the turmoil caused by Bai Zhixi's words, it fell down like sand that was as anxious as a storm;
