"I...I dare not say."
Xuan Qianning secretly glanced at Xuan Fengqian, who stood calmly in the hall, and suddenly put on a pitiful look of fear and helplessness, subconsciously leaning into Leng Ye's arms.
The Crimson Emperor was impatient. Seeing that Xuan Qianning only said half of what she wanted to say, he said repeatedly, "Ning'er, speak your mind. Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, your second uncle can hold it up for you."
"this..."
Xuan Qianning suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Bai Di with slight hesitation, as if asking for his opinion.
"Speak."
The White Emperor nodded slightly in response.
With the White Emperor's permission, Xuan Qianning spoke slowly: "On my wedding day, I was given an excessive dose of the Bone-Corroding Heart-Piercing Powder and fainted before I even left my home. When I woke up again, the auspicious hour had long passed and the wedding procession had already gone far away."
"Ning'er, could you be mistaken? On your wedding day, I personally escorted you into the bridal sedan chair."
No, I didn't misremember.
Xuan Qianning shook her head and said firmly.
The White Emperor was completely confused and anxiously pressed her for an explanation, "What exactly happened?"
"Later, I learned that while I was unconscious, Qianqian had transformed into my appearance and married the Demon Lord."
Xuan Qianning did not explicitly state that Xuan Fengqian was the culprit who put an excessive amount of the Heart-Piercing Powder in her tea, but only vaguely mentioned it.
She did this not because she still cared about the bond between her sisters.
It was simply because the matter of Xuan Fengqian poisoning her couldn't stand scrutiny, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble.
"Little one, is what your sister said true?"
The White Emperor still refused to believe that Xuan Fengqian would do such a cruel thing.
He did spoil Xuan Fengqian to the point of being lawless, but that doesn’t mean he would condone her harming her own sisters.
Xuan Fengqian transmigrated into the book and couldn't remember how many outrageous things the original owner of this body had done.
She could only deduce, based on the parts of the plot she had read before transmigrating into the book, that she had indeed put the bone-corroding and heart-piercing poison in Xuan Qianning's tea.
"Young man, say something." Bai Di looked at Xuan Fengqian's silent appearance and felt his heart sink.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too willful."
Xuan Fengqian bit her lower lip tightly and mumbled softly.
"You bastard! How could you be so heartless as to kill your sister?" Bai Di was furious and suddenly raised his hand, as if to slap Xuan Fengqian across the face.
"..."
Unable to defend himself, Xuan Fengqian slowly closed his eyes, stood still in front of Bai Di, neither dodging nor flinching.
Snap—
The crisp sound of the slap was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing everyone in the Hall of Reincarnation to tremble.
Xuan Fengqian opened her eyes in astonishment, staring blankly at Fu Chen, who had stood in front of her and taken a solid slap for her.
"Floating Dust, you..."
"I'm thick-skinned, a mere slap won't hurt me," Fu Chen said with a gentle smile, softly comforting Xuan Fengqian.
Leng Ye always felt that Fu Chen's smile was extremely irritating.
Your face is all swollen from being slapped, what are you still laughing about?
He despised people like Fuchen who were useless and only knew how to get beaten.
If it were him, he would definitely break Bai Di's arm instead of just standing there dumbfounded and getting slapped.
And so, he was already prepared to fight Bai Di to the death, when suddenly this idiot Fu Chen appeared out of nowhere.
This is absolutely infuriating!
Fu Chen was completely oblivious to Leng Ye's fiery gaze, and was intently whispering to the White Emperor, "Your Majesty, Princess Xiantian has already realized her mistake. She must have suffered a lot in the Nine Netherworld. If you scold her in front of outsiders, how sad will she be?"
