Su Renyi suddenly realized what was happening and immediately pointed at Su Renyi and complained to Xuan Yuanpeng, "Your Majesty, it was her! Su Xuening stole my jade pendant and framed me!"
As soon as Su Renyi said this, everyone turned to look at Su Xuening.
Before Su Xuening could even speak, Bai Shi angrily stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face.
With a sharp "smack!", Bai's slap made Su Renyi's head buzz, and he almost fainted.
"Ya'er." Seeing Bai Shi using so much force, Xuan Yuanpeng immediately felt sorry for her and stepped forward to take her hand to check it.
It would be easy to beat Su Renyi; just let the eunuchs do it. Why did you have to do it yourself?
Seeing that Bai's palms were red, Xuan Yuanpeng quickly breathed on them to warm them up.
Seeing Xuan Yuanpeng's anxious and distressed expression and actions, everyone lowered their eyes in fright.
The Emperor is showing absolutely no restraint!
Bai Shi, ignoring the pain in her hand, glared angrily at Su Renyi: "Listen to the nonsense this man is spouting! Someone has hired someone to kill our whole family, and he's trying to pin this on Ning'er? Would Ning'er hire someone to kill herself? He's treating Ning'er like dough!"
Bai's words resonated deeply with the officials below.
That's right, who would hire someone to kill themselves? Even if the Marquis of Yong'an wanted to find a scapegoat, he shouldn't have chosen the Holy Princess!
Before, the Holy Princess was all alone and had no one to support her, but now things are different!
Judging from the fierce appearance of the Holy Princess Dowager, if the Emperor hadn't felt sorry for her sore hand, the Marquis of Yong'an would probably have been knocked unconscious by now.
Bai Shi wasn't satisfied with her rant and continued, pointing at Su Renyi's nose, "Before, he usurped the Su family's mansion, and not only did he act like a tyrant in their home, but he also tried to harm their two children, setting fires and sending assassins. He's worse than a beast!"
She recounted Su Renyi's past misdeeds word for word, but Madam Bai was still furious: "I'm too lazy to bring up the past! Now he's doing this, trying to frame our Ning'er again. Does he really think our Holy Prince's Mansion is helpless? I'll make this clear today: Su Xuening is my daughter-in-law, Bai Fuya's daughter-in-law, and the mistress of our Holy Prince's Mansion. Anyone who dares to bully her is provoking the Grand Duke Jupiter. Anyone who's tired of living can try!"
Bai Shi's cold and stern eyes swept over the officials one by one, clearly indicating that his words were not only for Su Renyi, but also for all of them.
The officials were so frightened that they fell silent, not even uttering a sound, and unconsciously even lowering their breathing.
Just kidding, she said she's Tai Sui, who would dare to mess with Tai Sui!
Seeing how worried the Emperor was about her, they would rather offend the Emperor than dare to offend her!
Xuanyuan Peng hadn't expected the Bai family to be so protective of Su Xuening. He knew she liked Su Xuening before, but he didn't know she liked her this much.
To be honest, he didn't like Su Xuening. It was because of her that his two sons fought every day. In particular, Xuan Yuan Yu seemed to be possessed. Even though he knew that she had married Xuan Yuan Zhan, he still couldn't live without her!
This girl is really giving him a headache. He is really afraid that in the future, Xuan Yuan Yu and Xuan Yuan Zhan will really fight to the death because of her, just like he and Xuan Yuan Kun did!
He had considered killing Su Xuening to eliminate any future trouble! However, Ya'er was so fond of her now, and Zhan'er seemed to have fallen for her as well. If he really killed Su Xuening, Yu'er would go mad! He couldn't bear the consequences of breaking with his two sons, so he really couldn't touch her for the time being. He would let her live for the time being!
Su Xuening was deeply moved as she listened to Bai Shi's words of protection.
The Dowager was really good to her!
She still remembered what the Dowager Consort said to her on the night of her wedding. She said that no matter whether Xuan Yuanzhan could wake up or not, she would still be her daughter-in-law and the princess of the Holy King's Mansion. She would not let anyone bully her!
She wasn't only kind to Xuan Yuanzhan because he woke up; she had always been kind to him from beginning to end, and she truly was keeping her promise.
Su Renyi was stunned by Bai Shi's slap. It took him a while to recover. With a swollen face, he looked at Xuan Yuanpeng with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty, it really is Su Xuening. She must have stolen my jade pendant to frame me. It really is her. Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly!"
"You..." Seeing that Su Renyi still dared to say such things, Bai was so angry that she wanted to slap him again, but Xuan Yuanpeng stopped her: "Why do you need to lay a hand on me?"
Xuanyuan Peng glanced at Zong Jiu, who immediately understood and stepped forward, slapping Su Renyi twice, causing blood to flow from his mouth.
Su Renyi never expected that Zong Jiu would dare to lay a hand on him, and he never expected that the Emperor would be so biased towards Bai Shi and Su Xuening.
It was obvious that Su Xuening was framing him, but the Emperor wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.
Bai glared at Su Renyi, then asked Xuanyuan Peng, "Your Majesty, Su Renyi hired someone to assassinate our entire family. What should be done with him?"
Xuanyuan Peng looked at Qiu Ye and the others: "The Three Departments, listen to my command!"
"Your subject is here!"
Qiu Ye, Zhu Yu, and Pang Hui immediately stepped forward.
"The matter of Su Renyi's assassination attempt on me and the Holy King's family is now entrusted to you for investigation. Investigate thoroughly to see if there are any other masterminds behind it!"
The three of them instantly understood what Xuan Yuanpeng meant. He wanted to investigate whether this matter was related to Consort Su. It seemed that the Emperor was truly angry and was even going to investigate Consort Su as well.
"Yes, ma'am."
The three men dared not delay and immediately took Su Renyi away.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Su Renyi cried out again in desperation.
Qiu Ye gave Su Renyi a cold look: "Stop yelling, haven't you been slapped enough yet!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ye's words, Su Renyi immediately stopped shouting and let Qiu Ye and the others drag him away.
He knew that the Emperor was now blinded by Bai Shi and Su Xuening, and nothing he said would make a difference. Only Consort Su could save him now.
News of what happened at the West Mountain hunting grounds today will soon reach Consort Su, and she will definitely find a way to save him!
Besides Su Renyi, Shao Kun and the other surviving Black Snake Society assassins were also taken away by the Three Departments.
These are all witnesses to Su Renyi's hiring of assassins to kill the Holy King's family; they must be kept and thoroughly investigated.
Just as Su Renyi was being taken away, Yueyuan rushed over and found Xuanyuan Yu, who was going crazy in the woods: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Xuanyuan Yu ignored him and continued to spur his horse on, galloping wildly through the woods as if he wanted to kill it.
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Yueyuan could only shout at his back, "Lord Su is in trouble! Today's assassination attempt on the Emperor and the Holy King was done by Lord Su!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu finally tightened the reins and turned to look at Yueyuan in shock: "What did you say?"
