Bai Jing'an knew that His Majesty was asking the question knowingly, but he did not dare to refute it.
"Your Majesty, yes, the Crown Princess is my youngest daughter. When she got married, due to a misunderstanding, Ruoruo got on the wrong sedan chair.
When I found out about this, I saw that His Royal Highness and Ruoruo were very affectionate, so I concealed the matter. I thought that if a better marriage could be made, it would not be a bad thing..."
The emperor's tone suddenly changed, "Bold! Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The emperor's wrath shocked everyone present.
Bai Ruirui was even more frightened and trembled.
Prime Minister Bai immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Bai Ruirui also knelt down when she saw this, not daring to speak.
Things have become clear. Everyone already knows that although Bai Liruo is not Bai Ruirui, she is still the daughter of the prime minister.
It was just a misunderstanding and getting on the wrong sedan chair, which led to this misunderstanding.
"Bai Liruo, your father's words are serious, do you have anything to say?" The emperor continued to question Bai Liruo.
Bai Liruo suddenly smiled and said, "Daughter of the common people, I have nothing to say."
She looked at Bai Jing'an, "I just don't know. If the daughter of the people was forced to marry His Highness the Crown Prince without his knowledge, who should be blamed for this?"
Bai Liruo said slowly: "Should we blame the Prime Minister for his incompetence in teaching his daughter, or should we blame the Prime Minister's daughter?"
Bai Jing'an had no intention of making what Bai Ruirui did public.
Since he can only save one daughter now, in this case, he probably just wants to save Bai Ruirui.
Tsk…
The one who was abandoned again.
Then how could she make them feel better?
Bai Jing'an's expression was also a bit ugly, and his brows seemed to be a little tangled.
"What does the Crown Princess mean by this?" the emperor asked knowingly.
Bai Liruo's eyes averted from the evasive and guilty Bai Ruirui's face.
She said softly: "In order to disobey the imperial edict, Bai Ruirui, the daughter of the prime minister, drugged the minister to stun her, and used some obscene means to send me to a sedan. If I didn't know about this, is it considered to be deceiving the emperor? If the prime minister knew about it and refused to report it,
, till now, if you are still protecting your daughter, is this considered reckless?"
The third prince Xiao Jin frowned. Although he knew that Bai Ruirui had used tricks, but it was exposed like this, how could Bai Ruirui's behavior be worthy of him?
Bai Liruo's voice was slow but powerful.
Bai Jing'an and Bai Ruirui's father and daughter both looked a bit ugly.
"Ruoruo..." Bai Jing'an whispered.
Bai Liruo smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking a little cute, "Dad, do you want me to hide it? But, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
These words shocked Bai Jing'an even more.
His original intention was indeed to save Ruirui. If something happened to Bai Li, he would definitely be in trouble.
Otherwise, His Majesty would not have left this hand here.
What's more, the third prince has no intention of helping.
Therefore, he could only hide the incident and save a daughter.
But he forgot that today's Ruoruo is not the submissive and obedient child before.
There was no way she could just let them control her!
The emperor's eyes narrowed coldly, "Prime Minister, what she said is true."
Bai Jing'an didn't dare to reply for a while, "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Jin walked out at this time and said: "Father, the crime of deceiving the emperor is not the only crime Bai Liruo committed."
He pointed at Bai Liruo and said loudly: "The so-called Qi Bai, Doctor Qi, a retainer of Prince Yongyi's Mansion, is also pretending to be Bai Liruo!"
