C189 (2/2)

Just then, the ministers who came to the morning court rushed over and saw the menacing Bai Zhixi.

They all thought that Bai Zhixi had unreasonably stripped Elder Li of his position, and denounced him as being young and vigorous, without a trace of the bearing of a princess.

For a moment, all of the ministers' accusations were like a tide as they came crashing down on her, completely disregarding her identity as the princess.

However, Prime Minister Qin, the messenger of the entire incident, stood to the side and watched the scene with a smile that was not a smile. Bai Zhixi saw disdain and mockery in his eyes, as though he was mocking them.

Currently, the entire Southern Frontier was in his hands, if he did not say anything, no one would dare to remove Eunuch Li's position.

”Eunuch Li, when did this princess say I wanted you to go home and retire? Since you are so unwilling to part with the, then go to the Pepper Room to accompany him until he wakes up. Eunuch Zhang is the general director of the palace, what's wrong with that? ”

Bai Zhixi looked coldly at the crowd, and continued with what she had just said.

”Do the ministers know how to write 'respect'?” To actually throw the courtesy and etiquette that a Southern Frontier nation like me has to the back of his head, is he not putting me, the princess, in his eyes, or the imperial family? ”

Bai Zhixi's cold and emotionless voice resounded above every official's head like a clap of thunder, startling them into a cold sweat.

Since the ancient times, ministers were not allowed to step foot in the harem, let alone openly barge into the harem of the Grand Princess. This was a huge disrespect to the Imperial Family, an insult to the princess' reputation.

And they had done all that they could not do. No wonder the princess was so angry.

At this time, everyone turned to look at Prime Minister Qin, but he had a smile on his face, as if he was someone who wasn't involved in this matter.

”Prime Minister Qin, what do you think?”

Bai Zhixi held back his anger and asked Prime Minister Qin casually. Since he was going to hit her on the head, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

The Prime Minister Qin standing opposite of them still had a disdainful smile on his face, and had not restrained it yet. Being caught off guard by Bai Zhixi's question in public, everyone looked at the expression on his face with their own eyes.

”Your Highness, this prime minister was entrusted by the Emperor, so it is only natural that the safety of the princess be the primary concern. As per the princess's words, he would stay by the emperor's side until he woke up. Furthermore, all of the lords have disrespected etiquette and have each been punished for half a year to make an example out of this. ”

Under everyone's anticipating gaze, the words of the Prime Minister Qin drifted into the ears of the ministers. They were not guarded at all, making them unprepared.

Bai Zhixi threw this thorny problem to the Prime Minister Qin. If he dealt with it unfairly, he would be openly going against the imperial family. At that time, there would be a reason to punish him.

Prime Minister Qin was also very smart, he would rather offend all the ministers, and in the future, even if it would win back the hearts of the people, he would not be willing to bear the crime of conspiring against the entire Southern Frontier of the common people.

”Prime Minister Qin is truly loyal to Southern Frontier, this princess will engrave it into her heart. ”Oh right, what brings the Prime Minister here so early?”

Bai Zhixi laughed with satisfaction as he saw a flash of pain and distrust flash past the eyes of all the ministers.

Following that, a seemingly careless sentence told everyone that everything that happened was caused by the Prime Minister Qin, and the person they wanted to hate was also the Prime Minister Qin.

”Reporting to Your Highness, this old subject has received news that there is a woman staying in the palace. This old subject wishes to investigate and see if it endangers Your Highness' safety.”

Prime Minister Qin looked at Bai Zhixi who had an innocent expression, and tightly clenched his hands under his sleeves. His pitch black eyes flashed as he calmly asked.

All in all, they never thought that Bai Zhixi would actually turn the tables on them. It was a good plan to turn the tides against her in an instant.

He had to face this sudden princess from a new perspective.

”Oh, so the Prime Minister did this? Why bother? Someone, please let Miss Bei come out! ”

Bai Zhixi looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and instructed Zi Li.

Then, she saw a woman following Zi Li out.

Wearing a purple cheongsam, her hair hung down to her sides. Although there was no adornment, she still had the appearance of a fairy. She was devastatingly beautiful, naturally incomparably pure and beautiful. Water comes out of the hibiscus, natural to carving. With an innocent smile on his face, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed. A delicate fragrance came from her body, a natural fragrance. A faint cherry blossom fragrance slowly entered everyone's line of sight.

”This humble girl pays her respects to Your Highness! Greetings, ministers! ”

Qing Zi smiled at the crowd, saluting with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. She looked like a lady from a noble family, with not a single blemish on her.

Last night, when Nangong Xuan came in as a lady from the north, she knew that the Prime Minister Qin would definitely come to investigate because he was afraid that the person who came would be his enemy.

or perhaps the crown prince of Southern Frontier.

This way, his plan would be incomplete and undetectable.

For safety's sake, Nangong Xuan had long snuck into the group of eunuchs, and followed the eunuch to the pepper house that Nangong Xuanyi lived in, personally guarding Nangong Xuanyi to wake him up.

Bai Zhixi, on the other hand, continued to stay in the palace to disrupt the Prime Minister Qin's line of sight, stalling for time, waiting for the last moment of fighting.
