She knew that this girl knew that she wasn't her mother.

Since that wasn't the case, she wouldn't let her off easy after offending her.

"Is this the Queen of Xi Liang? Since when did the Xi Liang Country have another woman in charge? The harem can't interfere in politics. I remember it was the rule of every country. Why, His Majesty the Emperor of the Xi Liang didn't say a word, with just the Empress' words, you people surrounded me and placed me under guard. I am afraid that you, Xi Liang Queen, have overstepped your authority a little! "

Bai Zhixi's voice was not loud, neither was it hurried nor impatient, and steadily fell into the ears of everyone present.

Those officials who were kneeling on the ground immediately shivered, and shakily raised their heads to look at Bai Zhixi as if they were looking at a monster.

Everyone knew that the Xi Liang Queen, Ye Shishuang, was a cruel and merciless person who dealt with matters swiftly and decisively. She was so jealous that she was the only mistress of the Xi Liang Palace, and even the Emperor of the Xi Liang listened to her every word.

The political power of Xi Liang was already in her hands. The Emperor Mo Nanxuan was just one of her puppets and a shield protecting her.

But now that Bai Zhixi had righteously said "overstepping your authority", he felt that it was just too funny.

Because that was the truth.

"What a sharp tongue. What kind of person I am, I have my own emperor to judge, not a young lady like you. Your Majesty, do you think so? "

Ye Shishuang's heart sank, the hand on the servant girl's hand tightened a bit, ruthlessness jumped into his eyes, and his voice was even more calm and terrifying.

Her gaze was locked on the man standing by her side, calm and composed. Her eyes were like that of a tiger's, cold and threatening.

Mo Nanxuan was still seated on the main seat as steady as Mt.

Only after a long time did he slowly stand up, allowing the crowd to rise to their feet.

"I am greatly gratified that the Mistress of the Palace has come from afar. "My country is a nation of etiquette, and the empress did not know your identity and acted too aggressively." It was too heavy to say that, because the Xi Liang of the world was surnamed Mo, not Ye, it was not a place where a woman of the Xi Liang could dictate things to. Even if she had those thoughts in her mind, I would have killed her as soon as possible. Thus, Madam can be at ease. Exorcist Lord, look … This was a misunderstanding. "Today is my birthday. I toast you with this article."

Mo Nanxuan raised his wine cup, and revealed a slight smile towards Jun Mohan, and finished the strong wine in one gulp.

His voice was as cold as an icicle, ruthlessly pounding into the ears of everyone present.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream and had no choice but to re-examine this emperor that the people of the world thought to be incompetent.

"Your Majesty is being too serious." Your servant has been spoiled by this one. For a moment, I had forgotten about the honor of being the sovereign. This sovereign is very grateful that Your Majesty could be so lenient. "

Jun Mohan stood up and bowed deeply towards Mo Nanxuan. Everyone was startled. When had High Lord Demon Destroyer ever been so easy to talk to?

However, in the next moment, they realized how laughable their thoughts were.

"But the empress's actions are a bit too much. After all, the original body only had this one wife, and was reluctant to lightly shout at her. Did the empress really think that Blood Fiend Hall could be easily bullied by a small sect in the martial arts world? If the Emperor wasn't still here, I really would have thought that the Xi Liang had changed hands. "

As his words fell, the entire hall was completely silent. Even if a needle were to drop onto the ground, it would still be heard.

An irresistible and powerful aura gushed out, like a pair of invisible hands grabbing onto the necks of everyone present, causing them to be unable to breathe.

"Blood Fiend Hall Master, Madam, the Empress is only playing a joke on you. Today is the Emperor's birthday, how can there be blood? "

A gentle female voice sounded from the front with a trace of pity.

Bai Zhixi raised his head to look in front of him, and what entered his eyes was a woman dressed in light palace attire.

She was dressed in a light green Suoluo dress. Her hair was simple, with only a golden quintessence bead peach blossom hairpin in her arm. The long beads of jade and luscious flowers added to her delicate and beautiful appearance, giving her a fresh and elegant natural beauty.

She was about the same age as the Empress, but the years had left no mark on her face.

Ye Shishuang was incomparably enchanting and beautiful, but she was like a lotus that had bloomed in the water, causing one's heart to feel pity for her.

This person was Mo Nanxuan's only concubine other than Empress Ye Shishuang — Empress Dowager Duan.

She slowly walked in, glanced at Bai Zhixi and Jun Mohan, and revealed a smile, then bowed to Mo Nanxuan.

"Xuan'er, your body is unwell. The wind is strong here, so you can stay in your chambers and rest."

Mo Nanxuan quickly helped her up, and took the opportunity to embrace her tottering body, as if she would fall to the ground if the wind blew on her.

"Your majesty, today is your birthday, how can chenqie not come?"

Lin Shuxuan smiled, and patted Mo Nanxuan's hands, as if they were a couple who had been together for many years.

When Ye Shishuang saw this, he snorted coldly and turned to sit on his own Queen's seat.

The thin hand under her sleeve clenched into a fist, and when her long nails dug into the flesh, she could not feel even the slightest bit of pain.

Lin Shuxuan, Jun Mohan, you have to pay a heavy price for your arrogance, just wait and see.

"I've only heard that there's an esteemed wangfei whose Xi Liang is as beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from the water. Seeing her for the first time today, she's worthy of this title. "Since today is the emperor's birthday banquet, for the sake of esteemed imperial concubine, this sovereign will not make a fuss about it."

Jun Mohan sat down, fiercely pulled Bai Zhixi down to sit beside him, and lazily spoke.

A trace of profoundness flashed across his pitch-black eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile that he could not detect.

"High Lord Demon Destroyer is someone who understands the general situation. We didn't misjudge him." Eunuch Xu, let those officials come in! They have come from afar and have been slow, but it is our fault. "

Just as Mo Nanxuan finished speaking, Elder Xu shouted and all the countries entered the banquet hall together.

A nervous farce was easily resolved in a few sentences by an inconsequential concubine. Everyone was still lost in their own confusion, unable to extricate themselves from it.

Bai Zhixi was the same as well. She looked at Jun Mohan beside her, her exposed eyes filled with nervousness, and also an inexplicable caution.

Ever since this esteemed wangfei had come in, his gaze had never left her.

She had heard a bit about the affairs of esteemed wangfei, but when she saw the real person today, she was stunned. At the same time, she felt that this esteemed wangfei wasn't as harmless as she appeared to be.

Otherwise, how could he have survived safely in the palace that Ye Shishuang was so envious of? The Emperor seemed to be good to her as well.

Even if her father was a general, with Ye Shishuang's personality, he definitely wouldn't leave behind any traces for her to deal with.

Thus, this Duan Fei Fei was not a simple person.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too passionate, the one sitting opposite her, Consort Duan, suddenly raised her head and smiled at her.

Being caught red-handed, Bai Zhixi did not hide anything and returned the greeting politely.

However, she could see the unwillingness and hatred in Consort Duan's eyes, as well as her killing intent. Although it had been concealed well, she still saw it in the depths of her eyes.

She was baffled. She hadn't offended this esteemed wangfei before, had she?

In the blink of an eye, the princes, princesses and envoys arrived at the banquet.

Qing Zi sat beside Bai Zhixi in the name of the Southern Frontier princess, while Dongfang Chen and Shangguan Jingyan sat opposite of them.

Ever since Dongfang Chen entered, his eyes had never left Bai Zhixi's body. He stared at her like a hunter meeting his prey, and this gaze displeased Bai Zhixi.

She directly ignored Dongfang Chen and looked towards the Shangguan Jingyan beside him. In these few days that she hadn't seen him, she had lost a lot of weight.

On her originally delicate face, there was a haggard look, as if she was suffering from an illness.

Come to think of it, Dongfang Chen's matter with Ye Luoli had dealt a huge blow to her.

Shangguan Jingyan was also looking at Bai Zhixi at this moment, her expression indifferent. Compared to Bai Zhixi's burning gaze, she seemed a little impatient or cold.

After which, she opened her eyes and looked at where the Minister's family was seated.

Bai Zhixi was even more confused now, what exactly did Jing Yan go through after she separated from him that day?

Why was he so cold to himself?

"Princess of the Northern Frontier, Bei Churou, greets the Emperor. May he live a long life!"

The woman's voice was sonorous and forceful, cold to the bone. There was not the slightest trace of a woman's voice.

Northern Chuchu, the second princess of the northern border?

Hearing this voice, everyone thought that it was a man. They were even more confused than Bai Zhixi who had only met Bei Xiuran once before.

He saw her with a oval face, long eyebrows and dark skin. She had a pretty face, but her beauty was unique to the north.

In a split second, Bei Chu turned his head to look at Bai Zhixi. The cold look in his eyes complemented the icy aura around her.

After a long while, Mo Nanxuan allowed her to take her seat, and she retracted her gaze, and walked over.

The wine interlaced, the wine beautiful woman, singing and dancing softly, drum music together with high interest, wine fragrance overflowing everywhere.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, the banquet officially began.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was hazy and everyone was slightly intoxicated.

Bai Zhixi relied on his slightly drunk body and strolled around the palace garden.

"You better obediently return with me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting you."

In the pavilion of the Imperial Palace's rear garden, a few red lanterns swayed in the night wind. In the pitch-black night sky, there was a hint of light, and the woman's cold voice came from there.

"Go back and tell him that I won't go back even if I die. I won't listen to any arrangements."

It was a cold female voice with traces of anger.

After the woman finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and turned around, walking toward the banquet location.

"Beidou, have you thought about your mother since you left like this?"

"Mother? Heh, I didn't know what my mother was like since I was born. What does her life or death have to do with me? Also, don't bother me anymore, I don't have the patience to go crazy with you. "

Suddenly, the woman who had hidden herself in the darkness flew out. Her hands were tightly holding onto the neck of another woman. Her eyes were cold, her expression was solemn, and there was an unquestionable dignity in her voice.
