Chapter 130: I felt like I was being beaten
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked again.
"Does Dongqin have such a magical poison?"
“I haven’t heard of it either!”
Ouyang Qi was about to leave, but when he heard Bai Wei say this, he turned back. He said seriously, "Bai Wei, stop pretending. As far as I know, there is no such magical poison in the world."
Today's affairs have come to this extent. It is impossible for there to be no rumors in the court.
Originally when he came, he already felt that there was a reason for the conflict between Bai Lian and these refugees. As for the reason, he didn't care and had no interest in knowing. He just hoped that using force to suppress them would be equivalent to announcing to everyone that these refugees intended to riot.
Although Bai Wei was not ordered to pacify the refugees, these refugees were indeed gathered here by him, so she had joint responsibility. Even if her father did not punish her severely for the sake of the real King Zhennan, she would still be reprimanded and imprisoned.
He could also use this method to teach Bai Wei a lesson, so that she wouldn't think that she was different from ordinary ladies just because she stood on the shoulders of the King of Zhennan and won a few battles. She wouldn't be so tolerant and resentful of Bai Lian and take revenge on her.
He wanted to use this incident to tell Bai Wei that without the care of the Zhennan Palace, she would not be able to do even such a simple task as comforting the refugees. He wanted her to understand her position clearly and know her own worth!
All of this is based on the premise that refugees riot and harm noble ladies in the capital.
If these refugees really rioted because of Bai Lian's instigation, then not only would Bai Wei not be responsible, but the responsibility would also be on Bai Lian.
Bai Lian will marry into Prince Qi's Mansion soon, and any wrong things she does will affect the reputation of Prince Qi's Mansion.
Therefore, even if what Bai Wei said was true, and Bai Lian's face would be restored as long as she told the truth, he couldn't let her say it. Even if Bai Lian's face was ruined and the Qi Wang Mansion was disgraced, he absolutely couldn't admit it.
Bai Lian provoked the refugees. He unreasonably compared them to an ugly concubine in Prince Qi's mansion, which was a much more serious crime.
He is not stupid to choose the lesser of two evils!
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Lian: "You follow me into the palace now. I will report to my father and let Doctor Chen treat you!"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to grab Bai Lian's wrist, but seeing Bai Lian's face getting more and more serious, he finally did not drop his outstretched hand.
It takes a certain amount of courage to overcome physiological disgust and aversion.
Bai Lian's current face was really too scary. If Bai Lian really became like this, he would never touch her again even if he married her back to the palace.
No, not only would he not touch her, he would lock her up in a yard and never let her see anyone again! How scary!
Bai Lian was so itchy that she was about to collapse, but when she heard Ouyang Qi say this, she still felt a little happy in her heart.
Because His Royal Highness Prince Qi was willing to take her back to the palace, willing to explain the matter to the Emperor, and willing to ask Imperial Physician Chen to treat her personally.
Seeing him reaching out to hold his hand, he subconsciously reached out his hand to him.
It was a pity that the hand did not reach out in the end, and she saw disgust and disdain in those eyes.
Sure enough, there is no man in this world who doesn't care about a woman's appearance!
She had tried every means to disfigure Bai Wei because she knew that once her face was ruined, Ouyang Qi's last bit of interest in her would disappear.
And now, is it her turn?
No, she must save her face!
She withdrew her hand, stood there and did not move.
Ouyang Qi frowned, his eyes full of impatience, but he was unwilling to face that face: "Bai Lian, are you leaving or not?"
If she didn't leave, he would have the guards knock her out and take her away.
Bai Wei looked at Bai Lian's face, which could make someone with trypophobia collapse instantly. She looked at the two of them, each of them had their own ulterior motives and were almost calculating to death. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"Second sister, don't blame me for not reminding you. This Heavenly Punishment is different from other poisons in that it has a time limit. Calculating the time, it has been about an incense stick since the poison took effect. If you don't tell me, this Heavenly Punishment poison can no longer be reversed. Maybe the itching can be stopped, but your face will be completely ruined!"
When these words came out, Bai Lian was shocked.
There is actually a time limit!
Of course Ouyang Qi understood the meaning of these words. He no longer cared about his physical disgust and immediately wanted to capture Bai Lian.
But Ouyang Yi seemed to have anticipated his thoughts, and he leaned his body to block his way. He also said to Jianying: "Jianying, come and help me, I feel dizzy."
Jianying immediately took a hand and held it firmly.
Ouyang Qi's face darkened: "..."
Did he do it on purpose? Yes, he must have done it on purpose!
But he can't see!
Just when I was feeling depressed, Bai Lian spoke up: "It's me. I just said something bad about my elder sister, so they insulted me!"
If she didn't have this face, His Royal Highness Prince Qi would despise her, hate her, and would never love her again. Then, how could she get His Royal Highness Prince Qi's love, how could he accompany her to the highest position in Dongqin, and how could she become the most honorable woman in Dongqin?
Therefore, she must not lose this beautiful face. As for the matter of getting fat... she can still plan it slowly. If her face is ruined, she will have nothing!
Bai Lian blurted out words that were heard clearly by everyone present. Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
"See, I said she was the one who cursed first, and then we fought back!"
"Sir, we really didn't mean to cause trouble. But she slandered General Bai, who is our savior. If we can remain indifferent when she is insulted, what is the difference between us and animals?"
"That's right. I also heard that General Bai once risked his life to save King Qi, but later on the night of his wedding..."
"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk about him, his mouth is dirty!"
"..."
Ouyang Qi had a dark face and his eyes were frighteningly deep.
Yes, he had a premonition that Bai Lian might have been the one who caused the trouble first.
But if she hadn't said it, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble. Now, not only did she say it, she also said it in front of so many people, and the Qi Palace had lost all its face.
And these unruly people actually took advantage of the situation to bring up the things between him and Bai Wei. He couldn't stay here for even a second.
"Since it's your fault, then you should stay here and reflect on your mistakes!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left. Lin Yi and the guards from Prince Qi's mansion also followed Ouyang Qi and left.
Bai Lian looked at the resolutely leaving back and instinctively wanted to reach out and hold on tightly, but the itchiness coming from all over her body still reminded her that her crisis was not over.
"Bai Wei, I told you everything, why hasn't the poison been cured yet? You are lying to me, aren't you?"
As he said that, he was about to rush towards Bai Wei, wanting to beat her up.
If her face was ruined, she would want Bai Wei to be buried with her! She could kill her in the last life, and she could do it in this life too!
Seeing Bai Lian rushing over with vicious eyes, Bai Wei sneered and kicked her hard in the stomach, sending her flying half a meter away. Then, while she was still trying to get up, she grabbed her from the ground and slapped her hard in the face without mercy.
"I am your eldest sister. What qualifications do you have to call me by my full name?"
Bai Lian was stunned by the beating, but she actually had the illusion that she enjoyed it.
Because the pain suppressed the itch on my face, the deep itch was relieved at that moment, and I felt an inexplicable relief in my heart.
