The banquet hall went silent after Xi Ying's words.
Li Rong's eyes were wide with disbelief as she looked at Xi Ying from sideways.
"You…how can you accuse my daughter of something she didn't even do?"
Xi Ying didn't even turn to look at Li Rong and Li Rong felt more furious because of being ignored.
However, she could do nothing but look at the Emperor with fear and panic.
Li Rong, of course, saw how the Emperor didn't say anything when she accused Xi Ying of Li Caihong's absence.
She had understood at that moment that it was of no benefit to blame Xi Ying …here in the Imperial Court because the Emperor favored him very much.
Unless someone …or at least Li Heng would stand by her and his brother's side to fight for her daughter, no one could pressure the Emperor to punish Xi Ying.
And Li Heng…he would never stand against Xi Ying. After all, his daughter was married to Xi Ying.
