After three rounds of drinking and singing and dancing, a plump little figure staggered into the banquet.
The guard was about to step forward to block him, but he stopped when he saw who it was.
Baili Yao was given the name Baili Rui five years ago by the daughter of Huang Weide, the Minister of Rites' Assistant Minister. She was born to Huang Yu, Madam Huang's niece, who was promoted to the rank of Huang Zhaoyi.
Baili Rui had been very intelligent and cute since he was young, he was very popular with Baili Yao.
Who dared to stop the Emperor's beloved son?
However, Huang Zhaoyi, whose beloved son was like his life, saw Baili Rui scurrying into the dance floor with a single glance.
"Your majesty, it's Rui'er!"
Baili Yao was enjoying his drink to his heart's content when he heard Huang Zhaoyi's shout. He sat up and looked towards the dance floor and saw Baili Rui, who had been knocked down by the dancers.
"Stop, all of you stop for us!"
The dancers were so frightened that they fell to their knees, not daring to breathe.
"Precious jade, my precious jade …"
Baili Rui crawled up from the ground, as if he was chasing something.
Suddenly, Bai Zhiling heard a mournful scream, and a white object was thrown beside her feet.
"Ah! Elder sister, you, how could you harm the Tenth Prince's jade!" Bai Tinglan screamed, causing everyone in the hall to look over.
"Treasure jade, my jade, who dares to hurt my jade!"
Bai Zhiling lowered her head to look at that white mass. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was a snow-white and fat Persian cat.
However, at this time, the Persian cat seemed to have hit its head. One of its dark blue eyes was covered with blood and stuck to its snow-white fur, making it somewhat horrifying.
Before Bai Zhiling could regain her senses, a small palm struck her shoulder.
It didn't hurt, but it made her sick.
When he looked up, he saw a round white face glaring at him with a pair of round eyes.
"How dare you! How dare you hurt this prince's jade!"
"Elder sister, everyone knows that Baoyu is the Tenth Prince's favorite pet. You … aren't you being a little too careless?" Bai Tinglan looked anxious, as if she was worried about Bai Zhiling. However, the words that came out from her mouth confirmed Bai Zhiling's guilt.
Baili Xing also frowned when he saw the white cat. He secretly glared at Bai Zhiling. He thought that Bai Zhiling had changed her personality, but it turned out that she was still that barbaric! Entering the palace and causing trouble for him, he knew he couldn't have extravagant hopes for her …
At the same time, Baili Moxun, who was sitting across from him, calmly picked up her glass and took a shallow peck.
"Royal Father, Royal Father, please seek justice for this son …" Seeing that Bai Zhiling didn't move, Baili Rui turned around and ran over to Baili Yao, crying.
Baili Yao stared at Bai Zhiling with a pair of eagle-like eyes. It instantly made Bai Zhiling feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
This emperor really wasn't a useless person. Just his gaze alone was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.
"Bai Zhiling, how dare you!"
He was the one who gave Baili Xing his marriage, so he had some impression of Bai Zhiling.
Actually, if he didn't have a deal back then, he wouldn't have let Baili Xing marry that useless idiot.
Bai Zhiling had no choice but to get up and kneel in the middle of the hall.
"This son doesn't know what Royal Father means by this, please state it clearly."
Even now, he still dared to be stubborn!
Bai Tinglan looked complacently at the empress Huang Zhaoyi. Their gazes met, and the two of them moved away in tacit understanding.
"You injured the Tenth Prince's pet and you still dare to quibble!"
"Bai Zhiling straightened her back." I wonder who saw it? "
Bai Tinglan was stunned. If she were to stand out and testify at this moment, others might think that she was purposely targeting Bai Zhiling.
She hurriedly gave a meaningful glance to palace maid who was standing behind her. When she saw the situation, palace maid hurriedly knelt before her and said, "Reporting to your majesty, just now, this servant saw, saw, what happened just now."
Bai Zhiling's cold gaze fell on the petite palace maid.
"You saw how I hurt it?"
"Your servant, your servant saw, your servant saw … your servant directly threw it to the ground …" Earlier, in her panic, she could only see a white mass flying over. How could she see it clearly? At this moment, she could only open her eyes and lie.
"Royal Father, she actually dares to throw Baoyu! "Royal Father, you ordered her to die!"
Bai Zhiling's eyes darkened slightly. She was only a five-year-old child, yet she treated human life as if it were grass. One could only imagine how many people would fall to his usually childish words!
"Men, drag this sinful woman down and push her down from the Star Observation Platform!" What was even more hateful was that Baili Yao actually allowed Baili Rui to fall like that. One must know that the person he was about to crash into was his daughter-in-law that he had personally bestowed upon him!
He was not afraid of face-smacking either!
No wonder Baili Xing dared to marry Bai Tinglan on the day of their wedding.
Bai Zhiling was like an isolated island, isolated and without help!
She clenched her fists in her sleeves. She was not afraid of death, but it was impossible for her to just die like that!
Baili Moxun's black eyes narrowed as she slowly put down the wine cup in her hand …
"Does the Tenth Prince really like this white cat? Why hasn't anyone come forward to save him? "
Baili Rui was speechless.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me save the cat!"
There were many imperial physicians who were skilled in medicine, but very few who could possibly treat pets.
In the eyes of the world, pets were no different from slaves that could be killed as they wished. How could he specially learn to treat them?
One of the imperial physicians unwillingly stepped forward and put on an act. He then said, "Your majesty, Tenth Prince, this white cat injured its head. I'm afraid …"
"You can't cure my precious jade! "Damn it!"
At this time, Bai Zhiling had already been lifted up by the guards. Upon hearing that, she let out a cold laugh. "It's just a white cat, too incompetent."
"Do you have a way to cure my cat?"
A child was still a child. If he wanted to do it, he would do it.
Huang Zhaoyi frowned, wanting him to shut up. However, since she was in Baili Yao's arms, no matter how bold she was, she didn't dare to open her mouth. Besides, she didn't think Bai Zhiling had the ability to do so.
"It can be cured, but why should I treat the things that caused me to be wronged?"
Hearing that, Baili Rui's temper rose as well. You actually dare to not heal my precious jade! Royal Father, let her treat my son's precious jade. If she can't, then, I'll throw her to her death, okay? "
The king of a country was a man of his word, how could he change his words so easily!
"Royal Father, I beg of you, please save Baoyu …" Seeing that Baili Yao was unmoved, Baili Rui instantly cried.
"Your Majesty …" The empress dowager's heart ached when she saw the large tears fall. "Your majesty, let her see. If she can't be cured, then the crime will be aggravated."
The empress dowager gave Baili Yao a way out and waved her over for the guards to bring Bai Zhiling back.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you can't, then …" that is, falling down from the palace gate! "
The palace gate was dozens of feet high. If one fell there, they would die without a doubt!
