C16 (2/2)
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a cold sensation on her arm, causing her wound to no longer hurt as much.
Baili Moxun leisurely took out a light green handkerchief and bandaged the wound. Her skillful actions was as if she had done it many times.
Bai Zhiling stared blankly at her silvery-white, callused fingers. Her hands were so beautiful …
”Princess.” In a trance, the full moon had already arrived outside the door.
Bai Zhiling wanted to say something, but when she turned around, she could no longer see Baili Moxun.
Damn, if not for the handkerchief on her arm, she would have thought that she had just seen a ghost.
”Come in.”
When Full Moon saw Bai Zhiling's appearance, she was shocked. Luckily, she always had a change of dress ready when she came out. At that time, all she had to do was say that her dress had been stained by the wine that had been spilled.
”Princess, you're injured!”
”Lower your voice!”
The full moon shut up.
”There's been an accident and everything is fine now.” Baili Moxun would definitely deal with the assassins, so there was no need for her to cause trouble.
Moreover, she was innocently implicated, who knew why the black-clothed people would attack her.
Those people were well-trained and had high martial arts skills. One could tell that they had been raised in the dark. Madam Huang and Bai Tinglan didn't have this kind of ability, so the target of those people definitely wasn't her.
After packing up, Bai Zhiling returned to the banquet hall.
Qing Qiu watched Bai Zhiling's back as she left before quietly walking to Baili Moxun's side.
”Your Highness, those people have been taken care of.”
Baili Moxun lowered her eyes as she spoke in a deep voice while gently twirling the crouching dragon and goat fat jade ring on her thumb.
”Death warrior.” A Death Soldier wouldn't leave behind any clues.
”There are only a few people in the palace who can send people to assassinate me. There's no need to investigate any further, deal with all the corpses.”
”Yes.”
When Bai Zhiling returned to her seat, Baili Moxun was already sitting across from her.
Their gazes collided in the air without making a sound, and they naturally separated their gazes from each other.
”Where did elder sister go just now?” She even changed into a new dress? But what happened? ” Bai Tinglan did not see the unwillingness in Bai Zhiling's heart.
”When did I need to report to you about my matters to you one by one?” She had yet to take revenge for that cat. In the blink of an eye, she came looking for misfortune. She really thought that she was easy to bully.
Bai Tinglan was furious, but she didn't dare to say anything else.
Bai Zhiling wasn't like the past; as long as she angered him, he would do something shameful. He didn't know why she had suddenly turned sexually. How hateful!
Bai Zhiling ignored her and quietly waited for the end of the banquet.
Yet, there were some people who seemed to want to go against her, eating a snack wouldn't even make them feel good, would it?
From the moment she sat down, Baili Xing's gaze had always seemed to fall on her. He always felt disgusted by being evaluated by others!
Just when Bai Zhiling was about to reach her endurance limit, Baili Xing decided to retract his gaze.
At this moment, the head of the banquet suddenly became restless.
”Imperial Mother, what's wrong?”
”Hurry, hurry! Imperial Physician Xuan, the empress dowager fainted!”
The sudden commotion caused everyone to panic, but no one dared to act rashly. They could only sit in their seats and watch from the sidelines.
Baili Xing, as the grandson of the empress, rushed forward as soon as the empress called out.
Bai Zhiling weighed a piece of Peach Blossom Sesame and put it in her mouth. It had gone soft and did not taste good anymore.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager isn't feeling well, but elder sister can still eat!”
Bai Tinglan really didn't want to give up any opportunity to trample on her. But now that everyone was panicking, who would notice them?
Stupid!
