Bai Shengyi moved so quickly that Bai Murong missed.
"Third sister!" Bai Murong lowered her voice and warned, "Do you want to ruin the Bai family?"
"Sister, I just want to fulfill you and Prince Gong." Bai Shengyi looked sincere but also very sad. "To be honest, I should thank Sister for making me understand that liking someone cannot be forced. Right, Princess Mingyu?"
Bai Shengyi tossed the topic to Sun Mingyu.
She admitted that she was doing it on purpose, hahaha!
Sun Mingyu liked Qin Zhao and admired Bai Murong, so what was she thinking now?
She was very happy anyway.
Sun Mingyu was so angry she was about to ascend to heaven! How dare Bai Shengyi!
She just wanted to humiliate herself, but clearly, Brother Zhao liked her the most. What right did these little bitches have to be worthy of Brother Zhao?
"You..."
She stood up to curse Bai Shengyi, but was pushed back by the Grand Princess who walked over.
"Sit down for me."
"Mother!" Sun Mingyu was anxious and angry, but she did not dare to refute her own mother. She could only glare hatefully at Bai Shengyi.
Bai Shengyi acted as if she hadn't noticed Princess Mingyu's jealousy and anger, and nodded, "It seems the Princess has the same idea as me."
"Sweet-talking!" The Grand Princess said coldly, "What are the palace guards doing? Bai Shengyi deliberately disrupted the Empress's banquet with malicious intent. Why aren't you taking her away quickly?"
Lord Rong said leisurely, "The Grand Princess and the驸马 are about to form a golden core, and indeed their prestige is even greater than before. They even dare to command the palace guards."
Bai Shengyi was delighted when she heard this. Who was this powerful helper?
She turned her head and saw an old man sitting next to Qin Si wink at her. He looked familiar, and it took her a while to remember who he was, returning a grateful smile.
"This humble daughter has always been clear-headed. I beg Your Majesty and the Empress to grant my wish!" Bai Shengyi brought the topic back.
The Empress glanced at Emperor Ning Feng, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Emperor Ning Feng swept his gaze across the assembled people, "Fifth brother, do you have anything to say?"
To be honest, he did not like the marriage between the King of Hell and the Bai family, nor did he like the marriage between his son and the Bai family. Such a family as the Bai family was only suitable for neutrality.
However, when Bai Shengyi caused such a stir back then, he wanted to take the opportunity to slap Qin Si in the face, so it was natural to grant them a marriage decree based on their mutual affection. But now Bai Shengyi pointed out that Fifth brother liked her sister. Wasn't this slapping him in the face?
Emperor Ning Feng had a displeased expression towards Qin Zhao. If he couldn't even handle a woman, how could he undertake any great responsibilities?
"Father, this son is wronged!" Qin Zhao had not yet recovered. In his heart, Bai Shengyi loved him to death, and although she had been selfish during this period, she was still under his control.
He had originally thought that since Bai Shengyi could cultivate now, she would definitely be the heir of the Bai family. After he coaxed the resources from Bai Shengyi, and his aunt and uncle became golden cores, he would find a way to divorce Bai Shengyi and marry Princess Mingyu.
"This son has always loved Shengyi, and I only knew Bai Murong because she is Shengyi's sister."
Qin Zhao looked at Bai Shengyi with a pained expression: "Ayi, why have you become so vicious? You're even scheming against this prince. You've truly disappointed me!"
Others who watched thought he looked deeply affectionate, as if he had been wronged by Bai Shengyi.
"Yes, you like me, which means you watched Sun Mingyu bully me and helped others humiliate and demean me. You like me, which means you constantly tricked precious resources from me."
"Did I, Bai Shengyi, have to suffer hundreds of years of bad luck to be liked by you?"
"I, Bai Shengyi, don't want your liking! And you are not worthy of my liking!"
Bai Shengyi, in her blue robes like misty clouds, with an aura like proud snow and piercing frost, stood with her back straight, her voice resounding!
The determination and pride radiating from her, based on her own confidence, captivated countless eyes!
The women present thought that if they were in her shoes, would they dare to directly say that a prince was not worthy of their liking?
The men, on the other hand, felt that this woman was a phoenix from heaven, a fairy on earth, and Qin Zhao was truly unworthy!
Bai Shengyi had no intention of leaving Qin Zhao a way out and continued, "Qin Zhao, you say you truly love me. Do you dare to make a Dao Oath? You don't dare, right? But I do!"
Dao Oath, also known as Heavenly Dao Oath.
All cultivators who embarked on the path of cultivation, regardless of who they were, would be bound by the Heavenly Dao.
Under the rules of the Heavenly Dao, all sorts of demons and monsters would have nowhere to hide. Therefore, Dao Oath became a major restraint for cultivators. Generally, cultivators would not make Dao Oaths, as they would really be struck by lightning if they violated their oaths.
Bai Shengyi looked at Qin Zhao, raised her right hand, brought her thumb and index finger together, and said coldly, "I hereby make a Dao Oath, Bai Shengyi once truly loved Qin Zhao!"
Green light poured down along Bai Shengyi's fingers, enveloping her like fireflies. As the spiritual light passed, the Dao Oath was instantly formed.
"Your turn!" Bai Shengyi coldly gestured to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao said painfully, "Ayi, do you really want to go to this point with this prince?"
His eyes were affectionate and forbearing, as if Bai Shengyi was being unreasonable. "It's this prince's fault. This prince shouldn't have neglected you in order to help you ease the relationship with my cousin, which led to your mental problems."
Even at this point, he still wanted to shift everything onto Bai Shengyi.
Bai Shengyi felt utterly disgusted and was about to push further when she heard a familiar voice spread throughout the entire hall.
"Since you know that someone has framed your fiancée first, shouldn't you protect your fiancée? Instead of easing the relationship?"
Qin Si raised his eyebrows and teased, "Is it easing the relationship or enhancing your feelings for each other?"
"It's definitely enhancing feelings," Xia Qufeng followed closely.
"Imperial Uncle! Xia Qufeng!" Qin Zhao glared fiercely at Xia Qufeng, unable to understand why Qin Si had to intervene at this moment.
Didn't Qin Si hate Bai Shengyi very much?
Qin Si slowly walked to the center of the hall and said sarcastically, "Fifth nephew, don't be angry. This prince is going to do something that will make you even angrier."
He looked at the Emperor and Empress on the upper seat and said, "Imperial Brother, Imperial Sister-in-law, this prince can testify for Miss Bai. Half a month ago, Sun Mingyu severed Bai Shengyi's wrist and ankle tendons, intending to kill Bai Shengyi."
Bai Shengyi followed, "If you want this humble daughter to die so badly and don't want to make a Dao Oath, how can you truly like this humble daughter? Instead of forcing yourselves to become resentful partners, it's better to let go early. Please, Your Majesty and the Empress, grant my request!"
Emperor Ning Feng looked deeply at Qin Si and Bai Shengyi, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.
Why did these two still get together?
The fifth one had truly wasted all his painstaking efforts!
"I didn't... Imperial Uncle, how can you wrongly accuse..."
A vast pressure was instantly released, and Qin Zhao's back bent under the pressure, the remaining words getting stuck in his throat from fright.
"Your Majesty, I think Miss Bai is right. What Fifth brother did was also too much. As his mother, I feel ashamed for the Bai family and for Miss Bai."
The Empress then slowly sighed, thinking that a family like the Bai family should be a support for the future Crown Prince.
Duke Rong, who had been silent all along, tremblingly stood up and apologized, "This humble subject is terrified. The Bai family will always remember the grace bestowed upon the Bai family by Your Majesty and the Empress."
However, he did not mention the engagement at all. Because after he discovered that Bai Shengyi had a spiritual root, he also felt that Qin Zhao was not worthy of his granddaughter.
Bai Shengyi could be used to greater effect, bringing more benefits to the Bai family.
