"Your Highness, believe me. You must believe me! It was all my cousin. She colluded with Princess Yunxi and put drugs in the wine they gave me! I lost consciousness and had no idea what happened. I really don't know anything!"
"Princess Yunxi?" Hearing this, Su Muxiao suddenly raised her voice. "Dier, it's fine for you to randomly slander your cousin, but what grudge do you have against Princess Yunxi that you would pour such filth on her?"
"Second Miss, you're talking about me?" Princess Yunxi also widened her eyes in disbelief and pointed at herself. "What did I do?"
Feng Jingxuan had no mind to care about the reasons Bai Dier was talking about. At this moment, he only cared about one thing: "So, did Chen Jianzhi really take your virginity?"
Bai Dier's body trembled violently, and she subconsciously hugged herself tightly.
It was Feng Jingye who said in a chilling voice, "A single man and a single woman, like dry firewood meeting raging flames. Third Brother, what do you think?"
His eyes were like a sharp sword stabbing into Feng Jingxuan's body.
Feng Jingxuan felt his mind go blank for a moment. It took him a while to react to Feng Jingye's simple words. At the same time, his face turned from green to purple.
"Is it really true between you and him?" His throat felt unbearably bitter.
Bai Dier's lips trembled slightly. Before she could say a word, tears were streaming down her face. She looked at Feng Jingxuan painfully, sadly, and despairingly. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.
"I'm asking you if it's true!" Feng Jingxuan suddenly roared.
Bai Dier shrank back in fright and finally nodded, tremblingly saying, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for you..."
"Slap!"
As soon as Bai Dier finished speaking, a loud slap landed on her face.
Bai Dier lost her balance from the blow and fell heavily to the ground. Her head tilted to the side, and her cheek instantly swelled up. Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
She was stunned.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the person who had slapped her - Feng Jingxuan.
At this moment, Feng Jingxuan was like a furious wild beast. His eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaved violently, and his gaze towards Bai Dier was full of disgust and contempt: "Bitch!"
He spat out the word viciously.
Su Muxiao could hardly contain her excitement and watched the scene with a smile.
Bai Zheng shook her head silently.
If there was one thing about Feng Jingxuan, it was that he was a natural emperor. He was extremely capable, good at making connections, and knew how to adapt to the situation. He was also extremely ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He was truly the son of his father, Feng Linche.
His previous principal consort was the daughter of the Minister of Works. Less than a year after their marriage, the Minister of Works died of illness, and then his principal consort died in childbirth.
A difficult childbirth, both mother and child dead.
The truth behind this was probably only known to Feng Jingxuan himself.
Such a man who could even abandon his wife and children for the throne had a stubborn point that he could never let go of.
That was his extremely strong possessiveness.
He couldn't tolerate his woman being impure.
Since Bai Dier was no longer pure, Feng Jingxuan would naturally abandon her without hesitation.
Moreover, for Feng Jingxuan, who was bent on seizing the throne, his principal consort would be the future empress.
Marrying a principal consort who had been engaged but still had an affair with another man was like giving up the throne with his own hands.
Who would pass the position of empress to such a woman?
Now that Bai Dier had done something to betray him, if he still tolerated it, he would really be a laughingstock.
So, from the moment Bai Dier's affair was exposed in front of everyone, she was completely finished.
Her reputation, her power, her dream of becoming the principal consort and the empress were all shattered.
Bai Sheng frowned tightly and quickly stepped forward to support Bai Dier. "Third Prince, Dier is also a victim!"
"Cousin, regardless of whether Dier is a victim or not, such a thing has already happened. It's only natural for the Third Prince to break off the engagement." Su Muxiao added fuel to the fire. "Otherwise, who knows if the heir Dier gives birth to in the future will be the Third Prince's..."
"Miss Bai is right. Second Miss is also a victim." Princess Yunxi interrupted Su Muxiao. Her face was full of sympathy. "Maybe there's something else hidden behind this..."
"It's you." Bai Dier almost bit through her lips as she spat out these three words.
"Dier, here you go again. How could your cousin have such great power?" Su Muxiao looked helpless.
Princess Yunxi also replied with a hurt look on her face. "Second Miss, it really wasn't me."
Bai Dier slowly stood up. Her eyes were bloodshot, her long black hair was disheveled, and only her overly pale face was visible due to the extreme shock. She looked like a vengeful ghost.
"It's you, it's you..."
Her hoarse voice repeated these two words like a curse.
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in Princess Yunxi's heart. She subconsciously shrank behind Zhuo Lingxiao and replied, "Second Miss, how many times do I have to tell you before you'll believe me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Dier suddenly broke free from Bai Sheng's hand, neatly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and rushed towards Princess Yunxi behind Zhuo Lingxiao. "Go to hell!"
"Dier!" Bai Sheng exclaimed.
Almost everyone present was stunned. Watching Bai Dier rush towards Princess Yunxi with the hairpin without hesitation, they were all stunned on the spot.
The Third Princess, who was the closest, was the first to react. She wanted to step forward to stop Bai Dier, but Bai Dier looked so terrifying that she was a far cry from her usual gentle and docile self. The Third Princess took two steps back instinctively as soon as she stepped forward.
At the critical moment, Bai Zheng quickly tugged on Feng Linyuan's sleeve, signaling him to save the person.
Feng Linyuan smiled and glanced at Zhuo Lingxiao, who was full of hostility. The next second, Zhuo Lingxiao, who had been motionless, suddenly raised his leg and kicked Bai Dier, who was only one step away from him, hard.
This merciless kick made Bai Dier feel as if her chest had been hit by a boulder. Her whole body flew out like a piece of ragged cloth and only stopped after hitting the pillar in the room.
"Pfft -"
Bai Dier spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
"Dier!" Bai Sheng quickly ran forward and took the hairpin from Bai Dier's hand.
At this moment, Bai Dier couldn't hear Bai Sheng's voice at all. She just screamed hysterically, "Bitches, bitches! Yunxi, Su Muxiao, you bitches! I want you to die a miserable death. I want you to pay with your lives!"
"Dier!" Bai Sheng was so scared that her face turned ashen. She quickly covered Bai Dier's mouth.
Princess Yunxi and Zhuo Lingxiao's faces were already extremely ugly. Zhuo Lingxiao was so angry and annoyed that he stammered, "Shut up! How dare you attempt to assassinate the princess and even insult her? Bai Dier, you're really something. Your Eastern Zhou is really something!"
