Hongqiao's heart pounded. She had long known Miss Bai's formidable reputation. Initially planning to confess and then die, leaving Bai Qingyan no room for rebuttal, she was unexpectedly restrained. Her heart filled with panic.
Bai Qingyan sat leisurely on the chair brought by the housemaid, handed the hand warmer to Chun Tao, and instructed her to add a piece of charcoal. Only then did she speak slowly, "From what I hear, you intend to accuse me of having an affair with King Liang?"
Hongqiao's heart pounded fiercely. She avoided Bai Qingyan's words and continued to cry, "Miss Bai, His Highness can't eat or sleep well because of you. He came personally four days ago despite his serious injury, but you still refused to see him! I'm afraid His Highness won't survive if this continues!"
