Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Confrontation_1 Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Confrontation_1 The sky was already dark, the road pitch-black, and Qiao Xiaomai sat in the carriage looking out at the hazy buildings.
“Indeed, it’s better than Bailu Town,” she whispered into Tong Sanlang’s ear.
Tong Sanlang had one arm around her shoulders and the other holding her hand, nodded and said, “Of course, the Capital City is the best city in Daqi.”
“And the Imperial Palace?”
“Not as good as the Forbidden City. You’ll see in a bit, it’s only half the size,” Tong Sanlang said and changed the subject, “You dressed up on purpose, didn’t you?”
At his words, Qiao Xiaomai laughed, “Of course, just to make Bai Zhi jealous to death.”
She had been drinking Spiritual Spring water for a long time, and her skin was getting better and better. Now it had reached a level even better than a newborn’s, Bai Zhi could take good care of her skin but never be as good as her.
When she had seen her earlier, Bai Zhi’s eyes were red with jealousy.
Tong Sanlang let out a soft sigh, “You, ah.”
“What’s wrong with me? I just can’t swallow this grievance!” Qiao Xiaomai huffed lightly.
Have the guts to confront her directly!
Using the status of a princess to oppress others, she simply wouldn’t accept it. She just wanted to infuriate Bai Zhi.
However, thinking about Bai Zhi riding into the city, she asked, “What do you think His Majesty will do with us?”
“This is self-defense,” Tong Sanlang clenched her hand.
Even when he was still considered a rebel, he had dared to fight with Cen Hong. Now, having signed an agreement with the Royal family, he was even less afraid.
Qiao Xiaomai also had a measure in her heart, “It should just be a verbal reprimand, right?”
“Not afraid,” Tong Sanlang said, and lowering his head, he gently kissed her on the lips.
Qiao Xiaomai curved her lips into a smile and snuggled into his embrace, closing her eyes.
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace. The whole group got out of the carriage, disarmed themselves, and followed Fang Hai toward Yuexian Palace.
Once they arrived at Yuexian Palace, Fang Hai went in first to report, and after getting permission, he let Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and the rest of the group enter the main hall.
Inside the main hall, Yang Wenxiao sat in the seat of honor, Emperor Yongan and Yao Xian sat on either side of him, and Bai Zhi stood beside Yao Xian with a pair of red eyes, glaring with hatred at Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, without deviating their gaze, entered the main hall, knelt down and bowed, “We pay respect to the Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, and the Empress Mother.”
“Rise,” Yang Wenxiao lifted his hand.
“Thank you, Grand Emperor.” The whole group stood up.
Yang Wenxiao’s gaze swept over Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, finally resting on Tong Sanlang, “Tong Sanlang, are you well now?”
“In response to Grand Emperor, thanks to your blessing, I am well,” Tong Sanlang respectfully replied.
“I can see that, managing to deal with more than twenty guards of Zhi’er, your Martial Arts is quite impressive,” Yang Wenxiao continued.
His tone was flat and emotionless, leaving Tong Sanlang uncertain about what he was thinking, he said, “I only acted out of necessity. The princess was attacking Xiaomai at the time, and in order to protect Xiaomai, I had no choice but to act against the princess.”
“Is that so? Zhi’er tells a different story,” Yang Wenxiao said, turning his gaze to Bai Zhi.
Right away, Bai Zhi said, “Grandpa Emperor, I didn’t know at the time that Qiao Xiaomai was in the carriage, and he, Tong Sanlang, suddenly attacked me. This is the truth.”
Hearing this, Tong Sanlang immediately said, “At that time, I was just protecting Xiaomai. Grand Emperor, please understand that it was not my intention to harm the princess.”
“If you’ve acted, then you’ve acted, and if you’ve made a mistake, you’ve made a mistake. How does it work, that if you accidentally kill someone and say it wasn’t intentional, you should be absolved of the crime?” Bai Zhi’s face wore a cold smirk.
