The man's thick black hair was tied up in a golden crown, and beneath his sword-like eyebrows was a pair of long, slender peach shaped eyes, filled with emotion. He was wearing a yellow robe with gold borders, like a flawless jade made from jade. Even standing there quietly, he was handsome and elegant, with a unique charm. He gave people a noble and elegant feeling.

The woman was dressed in a white plum blossom dress with a flowing cloud over it. She wore a silk dress embroidered with a Yulan butterfly, with a light pink brocade that covered her chest, and her cuffs were embroidered with exquisite golden butterflies. A few strands of lace could be seen on the front of her dress, and a golden belt could be seen around her waist, which gave her an aura of elegance and elegance. She had a pair of silver earrings, and she used a silver hairpin to wrap her black hair around her ears. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, her cherry lips were unblemished and red, and her entire body was exuding the sweet fragrance of orchid grass. She was delicate and pretty, without losing a shred of charm. She exuded the aura of a noble, a beauty that transcended the mortal world. She was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy that had stepped into the mortal world.

Is this still the Bai Zhixi of the Prime Minister's Hall?

That orphaned daughter of his father and mother who had lived in the Prime Minister's Estate since they were young?

I heard that after she awakened, her Prime Minister's Estate s were turned upside down and she personally destroyed them.

Her appearance caused an uproar in the great hall. Her achievements had already spread throughout the entire capital, and people's views on her were also different, as they all had different opinions.

"Isn't she the granddaughter of Old General Bai? How could it be Princess Southern Frontier? "

"…"

"What does Southern Frontier mean by this? You actually hid the princess in our country, do you really think that we are easy to bully? "

"…"

"I really didn't expect that she would actually be a princess. So it turns out that she was the one who orchestrated the resignation of Prime Minister Bai. "Such a young and smart person, what a cruel and unscrupulous person!"

The great hall was in a mess, but the Emperor, Dong Aoqing, sat on his seat of honor without saying a word.

His hawk-like eyes locked onto Bai Zhixi, as if he wanted to see through her.

Bai Zhixi raised his head, and looked at Dong Aoqing with a gaze as cold as ice, openly accepting his scrutiny.

Maybe her aura was too overbearing, or maybe Dong Aoqing did not want to bother with her. Not long later, Dong Aoqing opened his eyes, and his mouth formed a meaningful smile.

When Bai Zhixi saw this, he coldly retracted his gaze and glanced at the few old officials who had spoken just now.

She suddenly realized that Situ Guo didn't want her to leave the Eastern Prefecture safely.

But even in the Dongjun Kingdom, he couldn't do anything to her, so what about now that her identity was different?

In a trance, she felt a fiery gaze land on her. The naked gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.

She slowly looked over, to see Dongfang Chen looking at her calmly. His gaze was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, as deep as the depths of the ocean.

There was no gentleness, the white dress fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were filled with possessiveness. She didn't know if it was due to authority or to her.

The current Dongfang Chen was a stranger.

"Princess Southern Frontier? Heh, who would have thought that the Southern Frontier Emperor would be such a secretive person, to actually hide the princess and raise her in our country. What's laughable is that they are still in the residence of the founding elders of our country. I wonder how Old General Bai and the Emperor of Southern Frontier met? "

After a long while, when Dong Aoqing saw Nangong Xuan and his sister being mocked by the old subject until they were worthless, he finally spoke out.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the hall became strangely quiet, as if one could hear their own thumping voices.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my royal father only found out about my sister's existence recently. Everyone knows that not long after my birth, my mother, who is also Empress Southern Frontier, was surrounded by witch church during one of her excursions. My mother has never been seen again, and the child in her womb has also lost all news. This year, at the Emperor's birthday banquet in the Eastern Region, I met Bai Zhixi by chance, but discovered that she looked extremely similar to her own mother when she was young. I then reported everything to the royal father. After I obtained the permission, I investigated her several times in secret before confirming that she was my younger sister, the princess of Southern Frontier. So, I made sure to bring this sister back to the Southern Frontier so that I could relieve the pain of royal father's longing for her parents. Moreover, I am a dignified member of the Southern Frontier, so I do not wish to instigate a war between two nations. Therefore, I hope that ministers do not speculate casually, the two countries have broken up. I think that as the Emperor, who is also my father, he will not stop me. "

Nangong Xuan's cold words resounded within the hall, like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples, and solved the mystery of how many years the people of the world had searched for the Southern Frontier Empress.

However, the hall was silent again.

All the ministers looked at each other before whispering to each other. Only then did they look at the siblings who were standing in the middle of the crowd.

When the seated Dong Aoqing heard his words, his pitch black eyes turned deep, he did not say a word and only lazily looked at Bai Zhixi.

His eyes were sharp and naked, causing Bai Zhixi to feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, because it was hard to act up on his territory, he could only muster up his courage and raise his chest, proudly looking at Dong Aoqing like a proud peacock.

"She really is Xue'er's daughter. No wonder she's so outstanding. I knew it, mother is such an outstanding daughter, but how can she be lacking?"

Seated in the high seat, Dong Aoqing suddenly sneered, and then said coldly.

But Bai Zhixi saw a hint of desolation on his face.

"Your Majesty, everyone knows that the Southern Frontier Empress had already passed away twenty years ago. At that time, she was only a child, the Crown Prince of Southern Frontier. Just based on the words of the Southern Frontier Prince, I'm afraid that he will not be able to prove Bai Zhixi's identity, right? "

Prime Minister Situ, who was standing in the first row, stood up impatiently when he heard Dong Aoqing's words.

He coldly glanced at Bai Zhi. The murderous intent that could not be concealed in those black tiger eyes sent chills down one's spine.

"Your Majesty, this old subject agrees with Uncle Situ. Old General Bai had a foolish granddaughter that everyone knew about. It was impossible for Southern Frontier King to not know about it during these years. So, I think that Old General Bai must have known since a long time ago that she was Princess Southern Frontier. That's why I left her by my side, afraid that I wouldn't know about this? "

From the crowd, another white-haired old man stood out, and spoke in a stern voice as he denounced Bai Zhixi.

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, Old General Bai only handed over the military power in the last few months. At present, the subordinates that I have met with in the Old General Bai for a few months are also a sign of disrespect, this old subject cannot help but suspect the relationship between the Old General Bai and Southern Frontier. "

The current commander, Zhao Zhize, was the brother of Commander Zhao, the leader of the imperial guards. One of them was in charge of the imperial palace, while the other was in charge of the army.

What he meant was that the Old General Bai was suspected of colluding with the Southern Frontier. If this hat were to fall on Old General Bai's body, he would never be able to wash it clean in his life.

When Bai Zhixi heard this, the nameless fire in his heart burned brighter and brighter. He could say whatever they wanted to say, but he couldn't say anything wrong about his grandfather.

Taking advantage that no one was paying attention, she secretly circulated her energy and prepared to teach these arrogant people a lesson.

Just as she was about to strike, she was surrounded by a pair of large, gentle hands.

She slowly turned her head, and saw Dongfang Chen looking at her with a face full of gentleness.

Bai Zhixi could not bear his gaze any longer, so she quickly averted her eyes and took her hand from his.

"Xi Er, don't be rash. This is the palace hall, and what they did was to anger you. As long as you kill someone in the Dongjun Kingdom Hall, you will not be able to step out of the Dongjun Kingdom grounds. Moreover, it will also cause a war between the two countries, is that worth it for you? "

When Dongfang Chen's words that were as gentle as water reached them, Bai Zhixi realized that he had almost fallen into their trap.

She snorted lightly, her cold eyes sweeping across those few old officials who had been aggressively attacking just now. A trace of killing intent flashed across her beautiful eyes.

It was best not to fall into her hands, or else they would suffer a fate worse than death.

"Princess Southern Frontier, what do you think about this old subject's words?"

Dong Aoqing did not reply to the questions of Situ Guo's uncle, but asked Bai Zhixi with a smile on his face.

Only, in his bottomless eyes, there was a light flame that was burning. There was a hidden killing intent that was getting stronger and stronger.

The hall was frighteningly quiet, because of the Emperor's words, everyone stared fixedly at Bai Zhixi, waiting for her to finish.

Bai Zhixi looked at that pair of eyes and his heart sank. The Emperor is setting this up!

If he was the real princess, he would definitely know of his own identity and indirectly confirm the matter of his grandfather having an affair with the Southern Frontier. She, her grandfather, and even the entire Southern Frontier would be met with incalculable doubts. A great upheaval may come early.

If he wasn't the Southern Frontier Princess, today's matter was the crime of deceiving the monarch. What awaited her was either the wet dungeon or the guillotine.

His thoughts went back and forth, and he didn't know how to answer.

This was the first time she felt too much pressure and her hands were covered in cold sweat. However, she couldn't wipe them away.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I …"

"Let me say it!"

It took a lot of effort for Bai Zhixi to muster the courage to speak up, but he was suddenly interrupted by an elderly voice.

She looked towards the source of the voice and saw Old General Bai walking in with large strides. After not seeing him for a few days, he had actually aged quite a bit.

"Grandpa …"

Bai Zhixi said in a slightly bitter tone, as if her throat was choked with fish bones. No matter how hard she tried to open her mouth, she was unable to say a single word.

"Your majesty, let this old subject explain everything!"

Old General Bai bowed respectfully towards Dong Aoqing, and after receiving his permission, he unhurriedly recounted the matters regarding Bai Zhixi's parents.

In the huge hall, the only sound that could be heard was the voice of the Old General Bai narrating the past. However, it was like a magnet that attracted everyone present.

In the courtyard of the Ronghua Palace, Shangguan Jingyan was playing chess with Situ Lan.

Beside them, there was a constant stream of eunuchs reporting to them about what had happened in the Great Assembly Hall.
