Baili Hongzhuang had long seen through everything in her heart. Lan Jingkuang just couldn't wait to get rid of her as soon as possible, fearing that the longer she stayed, the more trouble there would be.
However, since Lan Jingkuang and the others wanted to completely absolve themselves of responsibility, she didn't mind.
After all, everyone was well aware of the truth.
Yue Siqing felt a surge of anger building up in her chest. Did Lan Jingkuang and the others now see her as someone they could easily manipulate?
Now, they were placing all the blame on her the moment a problem arose. Had Yue Siqing really fallen to such a state?
You reap what you sow.
Just as Yue Siqing was about to erupt, Lan Jingkuang gave her a warning glance, his eyes filled with a sense of caution.
In fact, Lan Jingkuang was extremely nervous as well.
If Yue Siqing were to expose everything, it wouldn't be beneficial to them in any way.
The coronation ceremony was about to take place, and if their plot to poison the heir of the Wujin Palace were to be revealed, it would be far from a simple matter.
Lan Qingyan couldn't help but feel anxious. She had worked so hard to get to this point, and she couldn't accept failure now.
"Baili Miss, the reason my aunt acted like this is because she was extremely angry. I hope you won't take offense," Lan Qingyan quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but laugh lightly and said, "Lan Young Lady, you make it sound so easy. If I were to poison you and cause your death, and then say that I did it out of anger, would Jingkuang release me?"
Lan Qingyan was taken aback, her face turning extremely awkward.
Lan Jingkuang glanced at Lan Qingyan and silently cursed her foolishness.
In this situation, speaking such words would only implicate herself further in this matter.
"Jingkuang, whether this matter was done by Yue Siqing herself or was a conspiracy among all of you, since it happened in your Lan family, you better give an explanation," Emperor Beichen's voice was icy and ruthless. Lan Jingkuang and the others were incredibly audacious!
Fortunately, Baili Hongzhuang was extremely proficient in the arts of poison. Otherwise, Yue Siqing and the others' scheme might have succeeded today!
As Emperor Beichen's words fell, Lan Jingkuang and the others couldn't help but tremble. Once the Wujin Palace and the Tiangang Sect joined forces, even for their Lan family, it would be extremely difficult to deal with.
If they didn't provide an explanation, things would become really troublesome.
"I, the Shitian Tower, won't stand idly by either!" Mo Yunjue looked at Lan Jingkuang and Yue Siqing with a cold gaze. These people had caused such misery to the Baili family in the past and were now attempting to poison Baili Hongzhuang.
It was evident that they had cooperated in many shady dealings over the years.
For Mo Yunjue, he had witnessed too many disgraceful acts that couldn't be brought to light, but when it involved someone he cared about, he couldn't stand by!
For a moment, the faces of the elders like Lan Kaicheng turned pale, and there was a hint of panic in their hearts. The situation had changed too quickly, catching them off guard.
Yue Siqing had clearly stated that there wouldn't be any problems, but now not only had she failed, she had been directly exposed by Baili Hongzhuang.
The victor is king, and once discovered, the situation could completely change.
