As expected, the Emperor was infuriated. He said coldly, "Is this how Jun'er taught you?! To be so insolent and defiant, to show such contempt for the Holy Emperor—is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
"Guards! Drag this woman out and beat her to death!"
Shen Huoshui narrowed her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, the Crown Prince cut in before her. "As for who is right and who is wrong, why don't you wait until Lady Bai awakens before deciding, Father?"
As he spoke, the Crown Prince's frigid gaze fell upon Bai Zhi. His thin, crimson lips curled slightly, but they held an utterly forbidding chill.
Was Bai Zhi really unconscious?
Of course not. She was wide awake.
She just wanted to escalate the situation. The more serious, the better; otherwise, she would never be able to achieve the Second Prince's objective.
