Xuanyuan Zhan and Su Xuening exchanged a glance and then entered the main hall together.

Zong Jiu couldn't stop Bai Shi at all, so he had to walk a few steps quickly to lead the way for her.

As soon as they entered the inner hall, they heard voices inside.

“Yesterday, our Zhenzhen fell into the water while riding in a bridal sedan chair. Someone must give an explanation for this.”

It was Madam Zhao's voice. Even when facing Xuan Yuanpeng and Consort Su, it was filled with anger. She must really be heartbroken for her daughter.

Before Xuanyuan Peng could speak, Consort Su said sarcastically, "Zhao Zhenzhen fell into the water, but she was pushed in by the people of the Holy King's Mansion. Does Madam Zhao mean that the people of the Holy King's Mansion should be summoned to be held accountable?"

No sooner had Consort Su finished speaking than Lady Bai coldly replied, "I'm here!"

Bai's sudden voice startled everyone in the main hall.

Consort Su glared at Madam Bai with a dark expression.

Damn it, how dare she trespass into the main hall without prior notice? That bitch Bai Fuya is getting more and more audacious!

Su Fei turned to look at Xuan Yuanpeng, only to find that he was not angry at all, but rather looked somewhat guilty, which made her even angrier.

Xuanyuan Peng glanced at Zong Jiu, who had returned to his side, and said almost silently, "Didn't I tell you to bring him to the side hall?"

Zong Jiu winked and replied silently, "The Empress Dowager was angered, and this old servant really couldn't stop her!"

In that situation, let alone a mere servant like him, even the Emperor himself probably wouldn't dare to stop him.

Xuanyuan Peng was helpless, and even gave Bai Shi a somewhat ingratiating look.

Bai gave a light snort and gave Xuan Yuanpeng a perfunctory bow, completely ignoring Consort Su.

Xuanyuan Zhan was even worse; he didn't even bow to Xuanyuan Peng, let alone Consort Su.

Xuanyuan Peng took a closer look at Xuanyuan Zhan and, seeing that apart from being a little thin, there was nothing wrong with him, he felt relieved.

He received the news yesterday that he had woken up, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

Only Su Xuening obediently bowed to both Xuan Yuanpeng and Consort Su. Although she was also reluctant to bow to them, she couldn't do what the Dowager Consort and Xuan Yuanzhan did.

Zhao Xiang and his wife, as well as Su Renyi and Zhong Shi, and Zhao Zhenzhen and Su Feiling, all bowed to Bai Shi, Xuanyuan Zhan, and Su Xuening, saying, "Greetings to the Dowager Consort, the Holy King, and the Holy King's Consort."

Zhong said the last line, "Holy Princess," through gritted teeth.

That little bitch Su Xuening ruined her whole family so badly, yet she became the Holy Princess herself. She must avenge this!

Su Feiling had no time to deal with Su Xuening right now; all her thoughts were focused on how to win the Third Prince's position as his official wife.

"Please take a seat." Xuan Yuanpeng glanced at Zong Jiu, who immediately understood and went over to help Bai Shi to sit down opposite Consort Su.

Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening sat down opposite Xuan Yuanyu.

All eyes were on each other, and sparks flew instantly.

Seeing Su Xuening sitting obediently next to Xuan Yuanzhan, Xuan Yuanyu's eyes were filled with barely suppressed anger.

Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at Xuan Yuanyu's pig-headed face, clenched his fists, and regretted not hitting him hard enough last night.

Seeing that Bai Shi and the others were sitting on the left, while she and Xuan Yuan Yu could only sit on the right.

Xuanyuan Peng's obvious favoritism angered Su Fei again!

Unlike Consort Su, Bai Shi didn't mince words. She looked at Consort Su coldly and said, "Who was it that wanted to question the people of our Holy King's Mansion? Everyone from our Holy King's Mansion is here. Let's begin!"

Consort Su was not afraid of the Bai family and sneered, "Could it be that our bridal sedan chair was not pushed into Bright Moon Lake by the people of the Holy Prince's Mansion yesterday, or are the people of the Holy Prince's Mansion trying to renege on their promise?"

"No way!" Seeing that Consort Su was about to pin the blame on their Holy Prince's Mansion, Madam Bai interrupted her: "The bridal sedan chair was accidentally knocked into Bright Moon Lake by our Holy Prince's Mansion! But your wedding procession wanted to change the sedan chair and even tried to steal the bride. Our Holy Prince's Mansion was just protecting our own sedan chair and accidentally got caught in the crossfire. How can you blame our Holy Prince's Mansion for this?"

As she spoke, Madam Bai smiled and looked at Prime Minister Zhao and his wife: "I believe that Prime Minister Zhao and his wife are both reasonable people and they must know who to hold accountable for what happened yesterday."

Both Prime Minister Zhao and his wife looked rather unwell, and they both nodded to Madam Bai.

They knew that Su Fei and Xuan Yuan Yu were behind yesterday's events, so they came to demand an explanation from Su Fei and Xuan Yuan Yu. However, Su Fei shifted the blame to the Holy King's Mansion.

Bai suddenly turned to Xuanyuan Peng: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Third Prince's wedding procession kept trying to switch the bridal sedan chair with our Holy Prince's Mansion. When they couldn't switch the sedan chair, they tried to steal the bride, which almost delayed the auspicious time for Zhan'er and Ning'er's wedding and almost killed Zhan'er. Shouldn't Your Majesty settle this score for us?"

Xuanyuan Peng's face darkened. He had received the news yesterday, which was why he sent Zong Jiu to bring back this wretched boy, Xuanyuan Yu.

Xuanyuan Peng turned to Su Fei with a stern face: "Tell me, what's the deal with changing the bridal sedan chair and the bride kidnapping?"

Consort Su stared at Madam Bai and snorted coldly: "What about changing the bridal sedan chair, what about kidnapping the bride? I know nothing about it, I have no idea what the Holy Prince's Dowager Consort is talking about?"

They have no evidence of anything—changing the bridal sedan chair, kidnapping the bride—and she will never admit it!

Bai saw Su Fei's expression clearly and smiled sarcastically: "Su Fei may not know, but the Third Prince must know! He personally issued the order to snatch the bride, and even personally went to Mingyue Lake to direct the snatching."

As soon as Bai said this, everyone turned to look at Xuan Yuan Yu.

Consort Su was also somewhat annoyed, as she had overlooked Xuan Yuan Yu.

Thinking about it, Su Fei glared at Su Feiling unhappily. Her perfect plan had been ruined by Su Feiling, and she had messed everything up!

Su Feiling lowered her eyes and pretended not to feel Su Fei's murderous gaze.

Xuanyuan Yu glared fiercely at Xuanyuan Zhan, gritting his teeth as he said, "So what if I stole the bride? Xuanyuan Zhan stole my woman, why can't I steal her!"

"Insolence!" Xuan Yuanpeng roared, instantly enraged by Xuan Yuanyu. "That's an imperial decree from me! You dare disobey it?"

Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening together, Xuan Yuanyu was already filled with grievances and hatred. Now, being yelled at by Xuan Yuanpeng in front of Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening, all the grievances he had been suppressing burst out: "I will defy the imperial decree!"

Xuanyuan Yu slammed down the teacup beside him and roared with all his might, "I don't want to marry Zhao Zhenzhen, nor do I want to marry Su Feiling. I only want Su Xuening, I only want Su Xuening!"

Xuan Yuan Yu's roar made the three women present extremely embarrassed.

Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't take it anymore. He rushed forward and punched Xuan Yuanyu hard on the head: "I warned you, Su Xuening is already my queen!"
