This matter quickly spread throughout the imperial city, and recently, Baili Hongzhuang has clearly become the most attention-grabbing figure in the imperial city.
Baili Hongzhuang refused to sell the elixirs to the General's Mansion, and even publicly crippled Baili Haoxuan's hand!
Many officials, led by Prime Minister Li Chengqian, who had a poor relationship with Baili Zhentao, were happy to see the spectacle. They never expected Baili Zhentao to have such poor judgment.
In their eyes, among the three children, Baili Yuyan, Baili Hongzhuang, and Baili Haoxuan, Baili Hongzhuang had the most potential.
Unfortunately, Baili Zhentao had turned his best helper into a real opponent!
Just with Baili Hongzhuang alone, Baili Zhentao was already at his wit's end. It was truly interesting!
Jingli Garden.
"I heard that you taught Baili Haoxuan a lesson today?" Emperor Beichen smiled and asked.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "The news spreads quickly in the imperial city."
It had only been a short two hours since the incident happened, yet so many people already knew about it.
"Baili Haoxuan is Baili Zhentao's precious son. By crippling his hand, Baili Zhentao won't be able to swallow this anger," Emperor Beichen said.
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, curious about why Emperor Beichen suddenly brought up this matter.
"In my opinion, why don't we get married soon? Once you become mine, Baili Zhentao won't be able to control you anymore. What do you think?" Emperor Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Baili Hongzhuang was taken aback. She didn't expect Emperor Beichen to suddenly say such things.
Her heart trembled, and after gazing at Emperor Beichen for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "Alright!"
Under Baili Zhentao's deliberate control, the news of her falling out with the General's Mansion had not been known to others. Now, there were many people in the imperial city who criticized her as unfilial.
For Emperor Beichen to suddenly say such words at this time meant that he cared about her.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's enthusiastic response, Emperor Beichen's smile became even brighter. His eyes, like shattered gemstones, sparkled brightly.
"If you have no objections, I'll prepare for the marriage proposal," Emperor Beichen said lightly.
Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her brows slightly. "I have already severed ties with the General's Mansion, so I won't marry from there."
"No problem," Emperor Beichen was not surprised at all. "Then, we'll have the wedding from Jingli Garden. How about that?"
Baili Hongzhuang smiled. This move might be hard for others to understand, but fortunately, Emperor Beichen always understood her thoughts.
...
"Young Master, Baili Zhentao became furious after learning this news. He is preparing to go to the Divine Physician's Pavilion tomorrow to teach Miss Baili a lesson."
Hei Mu's expression darkened as he reported the information he had gathered to Emperor Beichen.
"Should I send someone to give Baili Zhentao a lesson?" Although he knew that suggesting this would definitely meet with Young Master's opposition, he couldn't help himself.
What's wrong with Miss Baili? The General's Mansion has mistreated her all this time, and now they even dare to threaten to kill Baili Hongzhuang, this unfilial girl, all because of Baili Haoxuan.
In the past, when Baili Yuyan was poisoned and blinded by Baili Yuyan, Baili Zhentao never punished Baili Yuyan in the slightest!
"Send someone to warn Baili Zhentao, but be sure not to expose our identity," Emperor Beichen's eyes gleamed with a chilling light. Baili Hongzhuang was his person, and he would never let anyone harm her!
Upon hearing this, Hei Mu couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Emperor Beichen. The Young Master had never agreed to such a proposal before. Why did his attitude change today?
Could it be... because it was Miss Baili?
