Chapter 699: Lotus Pond Burned
"slander!"
"She is slandering!" Bai's adoptive father and mother, supported by palace servants, hurried over.
Seeing Bai Hehua facing this scene, she was so angry that tears streamed down her face and she felt extremely distressed.
She looked at the woman and the man with anger on her face.
"You vicious woman! When you asked your unruly son to propose marriage to me, He Hua, I kicked you out."
"But you held a grudge against him and let him sneak into my house at night!"
"In the end, he was beaten out and fell into the pond at the door, but he called my son a monster! How could such a thing happen in the world!"
"My He Hua has a very good reputation in the village. She is kind and filial. Everyone in the surrounding villages praises her!"
"They have evil intentions and have long had conflicts with Lotus. Their words cannot be trusted!"
"I'm going to tear your face apart today!" Bai's adoptive father and mother said as they were about to rush forward to fight with the woman, causing chaos.
"No one can bully my Lotus!"
"If you want to bully her, step over my dead body!"
"It's my old age and my incompetence to support our daughter, so we let you cause trouble on her wedding day." The adoptive father and mother cried bitterly, which made all the old ministers lose face.
"Is she a monster? How could I not know? This is my child, who I raised with all my heart! How could I protect a monster?"
"Although Lotus is not my biological daughter, she is better than my biological daughter. She is not a witch, she is a daughter of my Bai family! If this palace can't accommodate her, let's go back!"
"We don't want to be the queen!" The two men said as they were about to take Bai Hehua away.
The eunuch was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling.
"No, no."
"Calm down, calm down. Your Majesty has never listened to others. But, Your Majesty also has to obey the people. Please calm down, old lady and old man."
Bai's foster mother wiped away her tears and said, "Anyone can point out our Lotus. It's because they think we have no power and influence and anyone can step on us."
Xuan Jichuan sighed, holding Bai Hehua's hand and walked to the front.
He stepped forward and said to the Bai family's adoptive parents: "Today, it is my fault. I failed to protect Lotus and let her be questioned by everyone."
"I promise that from now on, this will never happen again."
"I, Xuan Jichuan, will only have one wife in this life. From now on, no one else will enter my harem."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Miss Lin was so angry that she stamped her feet. Her eyes were red as she looked at Bai Hehua, suppressing the murderous intent in her heart.
The Bai family's adoptive parents were shocked and looked uncertain.
Since ancient times, the royal family has been proud of having many children and three thousand beauties in the harem.
There has never been an emperor who married only one person.
Take the father of Dongling King Xuan Jichuan for example, there were dozens of concubines recorded in the records.
Bai's adoptive father and mother knew that their daughter was in love with Xuan Jichuan, and they said this just to arouse Xuan Jichuan's guilt and make more plans for their daughter.
The daughter has no power or influence, and her appearance is not top-notch, but she has been able to gain the emperor's sympathy and will be favored for a while longer.
As parents, they couldn't help their child and felt very sorry for her.
Having said that, Xuan Jichuan immediately raised his hand and swore an oath.
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of Dongling. Your harem is empty and you have no bloodline. How can you swear such a poisonous oath? You are trying to tear out the heart of this old minister!" The courtiers knocked their heads loudly.
Xuan Jichuan ignored it and swore an oath directly.
After the oath was over, he said lightly: "You'd better wish that Lotus is safe and long-lived, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the Dong Ling bloodline will be cut off.
All the old ministers felt like they had lost their parents.
A sweet taste came out of Miss Lin's throat: "Your Majesty, if she is a monster, she can't be the queen!"
"The Queen is the mother of the country. How can the demon race and the human race intermarry?"
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, just burn the lotus pond! We will make her reveal her true form!" Lin Jingzhi's eyes were filled with anger. The white lotus was clearly a demon!
She has always been paying attention to His Majesty and has long known that His Majesty has a special regard for Bai Hehua.
She often followed Bai Hehua and had seen Bai Hehua's true form with her own eyes!
She is clearly a lotus in the pond!
"How dare you!" Xuan Jichuan was angry.
"You slander Lotus again and again, who do you think you are?"
"Whether it's an expert or an identification, what else do you want?"
"Prime Minister Lin, today is my wedding with Hehua, and I don't want to see blood!" Xuan Jichuan already showed a bit of grimness, as if he had endured to the limit.
Prime Minister Lin shuddered and knelt down in front, trembling: "Jingzhi!"
After hearing the scolding, Lin Jingzhi shrank her neck and her face turned pale.
"Take Miss Lin away! We will deal with her later!" Xuan Jichuan glanced at her coldly.
Lin Jingzhi bit her lower lip unwillingly. There was a guard standing behind her on the left, so she had to step back.
When she reached the lotus pond, her eyes revealed a bit of ferocity, and she immediately shouted: "She is a demon! I saw with my own eyes that she is a demon!"
"White lotus, show your true form!" She took out a small fiery red stone from her bosom and threw it directly into the lotus pond.
When the small stone appeared, the temperature around it suddenly rose.
The moment it fell into the lotus pond, flames instantly spread, and in the blink of an eye, the entire lotus pond was on fire.
"This is the fire of heaven!" Just a small grain is enough to burn the entire lotus pond clean, and even the water surface begins to boil.
Lin Jingzhi was immediately controlled, and Xuan Jichuan was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked her out.
Prime Minister Lin knelt on the ground with a pale face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. My daughter is young and ignorant. Please forgive me."
Lin Jingzhi staggered to her feet and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It's burned, all burned. The monster is out, hahahaha... the monster is out..."
"White Lotus, where are you running to!"
The entire lotus pond was on fire, and all the lotus leaves and lotus flowers were destroyed in the flames.
Bai's adoptive mother suddenly looked at her daughter. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, and her breathing almost stopped.
She didn't even dare to blink, always paying attention to Bai Hehua's movements.
But despite Lin Jingzhi's crazy laughter, Bai Hehua still stood quietly in the middle of the yard. The breeze lifted the hem of her skirt, making her look quite graceful.
"Husband, can you lift the veil for Hehua?" Her voice was soft and steady, and she didn't seem to be panicked at all.
Xuan Jichuan moved his fingertips slightly and lifted the veil with both hands.
The girl raised her head and looked at him, and he was stunned.
In her eyes, reflecting the firelight, there was only herself.
His heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment for her.
"Husband." She whispered softly, and tears appeared on her eyes without her knowing, but disappeared in a flash.
She walked to the edge of the lotus pond, and the blazing fire made her frown slightly.
Under the fire from heaven, everything is burned.
The emerald green lotus leaves and the gorgeous lotus flowers in the pond turned directly into ashes.
The purest and most flawless white lotus, which was identified as her true form, withered and died little by little before everyone's eyes, and turned to ashes.
Lin Jingzhi stared at the lotus pond in a daze, and the smile on her lips froze instantly.
She looked at the white lotus, then at the white lotus flower, and her mouth moved.
"How could this happen!!" she screamed in horror!
