She also understood that Concubine De would let her come. If Bai Ruiyi admits her relationship with Xuan Qianchen, not only can she be kicked out of Prince Jin's Mansion, but she can also sow discord between her and Xuan Qianchen.
After all, she is also the daughter of the prime minister. With the support of the prime minister, Xuan Qianchen will one day surpass other princes. Especially the idiot Prince Jin.
Even if things between Bai Ruiyi and Xuan Qianchen don't go as planned, they can sell Lin Qingwan a favor and kill two birds with one stone. Why not?
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but lamented Concubine De's methods again. It seemed that she would still have to be on par with the people in the palace in the future, at least she would not be tricked by them.
Looking at Bai Ruiyi's expression, Concubine De's slightly relaxed voice appeared, "Why, are you surprised to see His Highness the King of War?"
Hearing this, Bai Ruiyi calmed down her expression almost immediately, and then forced a smile, "No, it's just... I just feel a little surprised."
The palms of her hands were bruised and bloody, and her whole brain was buzzing, but she still held back in the end.
There must be no clues, otherwise... her last supporter will disappear.
"His Royal Highness, King of War, you must have heard it." Concubine De said. Xuan Qianchen's expression looked very calm, even a little colder than others expected. He nodded slightly, "Thank you, Concubine De."
Although he knew that he was being used as a pawn, Xuan Qianchen probably saw Bai Ruiyi's true face clearly now.
His eyelids twitched slightly, and there was a deathly silence surrounding him.
"I'd like to pay Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan a trip today. Now that the matter has been resolved, you two should go back and rest first. The Queen Mother also needs someone to take care of her." Concubine De spoke, and Lin Qingwan naturally left wisely. Xuan Qianchen He accelerated his pace even more, not wanting to stop here.
The only fool present was King Jin. Not only did he not doubt Bai Ruiyi, he even reached out a hand to touch her shoulder gently, "It's okay, I'm here."
Bai Ruiyi nodded pitifully, like a weak white flower.
"Everyone, get out." Concubine De raised her head and glanced around the other people in the room. Her eyes finally fell on Bai Ruiyi. "You stay, I have something to say to you alone."
Prince Jin was anxious again now, and he frowned, "Mother, concubine, haven't things been made clear to me? You are all doing this for my own good, why... why are you still like this?"
Concubine De didn't speak, looking straight at him. Prince Jin's throat seemed to be blocked. He didn't dare to speak anymore and slowly lowered his head.
"My lord, please go out first, my concubine will not wish me." Bai Ruiyi turned her head and spoke to Prince Jin, her tone gentle.
The man hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly left.
At this moment, there were only two of them left in the entire palace. Concubine De was silent and picked up the tea cup again, with a noble and terrifying aura surrounding her.
Bai Ruiyi stood upright like this, adhering to the principle that if Concubine De didn't speak, she wouldn't speak either.
Finally, the middle-aged woman slowly raised her eyes and finally uttered two words, "Come here."
The young woman's body trembled, and she walked forward, but her steps were extremely heavy. Because she didn't know what she would face next.
When she reached Concubine De, she gave the order again, "Kneel down!"
Her pupils dilated, knowing that she could not escape from this beating. She knelt down tremblingly and slowly raised her head, "Concubine..."
"Snapped--"
Another loud slap.
The slap just now was not so heavy due to the presence of someone. This slap almost used up all the strength of De Fei's body and caused some pain on the back of her hand.
Bai Ruiyi fell to the side uncontrollably, then staggered and almost hit her head on the ground.
Her pupils were dilated, she was slightly in a trance, her side cheeks were burning, and she didn't react for a while.
After so many years in the palace, Concubine De's skills were not bad, so even though Bai Ruiyi was beaten to the point of fainting, her side cheeks were only slightly red and there was no mark from the slap.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
"me……"
"Don't say those pretentious words in front of me! Your lies can deceive others, but how can you deceive me? I thought that after you have been with me for so long and Prince Jin is so good to you, you can put your I took my thoughts back, but I didn't expect that your brain is still so active, and you actually want to play with both of these brothers."
Concubine De's tone was calm, but a bit frighteningly cold, which made people very scared.
Bai Ruiyi was almost physically frightened. She was speechless for a long time and had difficulty breathing.
"Mother Concubine..." After saying these two words, she quickly changed her words, "Empress De Fei, I... I..."
After hesitating for a long time without saying a word, she shook her head slightly and said, "It's all my fault. I will never dare to do it again. Please give me another chance..."
Concubine De narrowed her eyes, pinched her chin with one finger and raised it, "Bai Ruiyi, I'm warning you that your mind is spinning so fast today, and Prince Jin likes you, so I'm letting you go once."
"From now on, if you keep your peace, take good care of King Jin, and be a good wife, I will spare your life. If something similar to today happens again, I will never forgive you easily."
"When you didn't marry the King of War, don't think that I don't know what you were thinking..."
In front of Concubine De, Bai Ruiyi seemed to have no secrets of her own, and everything was clearly seen by this middle-aged woman.
Only then did she realize how clumsy her plan was. Likewise, she felt not only the fear of Concubine De, but also deep disgust and resentment in her heart.
She did not allow anyone to destroy her original preparations. If one day King Jin really ascended the throne, and Concubine De was the queen mother, even if she was the queen, life would not be easy for her.
One day, she will pay back all the humiliation she suffered today.
No matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she remained calm on her face. She even made a gesture of gratitude and saluted Concubine De, "Thank you for your forgiveness. Rui Yi will definitely keep her peace and never do anything wrong again."
"Okay, let's go out. I'm exhausted." Concubine De waved her hands with a cold look.
After coming out of the palace, King Jin ran up with long strides, grabbed Bai Ruiyi's arm and started to look up and down, "Ruiyi, are you okay? Did my mother-in-law give you a hard time?"
Looking at the person in front of her, Bai Ruiyi felt that he was a coward who couldn't even protect his wife.
But even though she was thinking this, Bai Ruiyi still showed a smile on her face, "I...I'm fine."
After saying that, she deliberately pretended to be dizzy and fell directly to the side.
