After discovering the reason why Bai Susu solved the problem, Bai Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed she was overthinking; Bai Susu was not reborn like her but learned the answer from Feng Qiwu.
Bai Susu had been secretly observing Bai Wanwan’s expression and naturally did not miss her sudden relaxed demeanor.
For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but feel like laughing.
Bai Wanwan was good at guessing, but unfortunately, even if she guessed right, she wouldn’t admit it.
But this time, I owe Feng Qiwu an apology.
I’ve made him take the blame again, hehe.
At this moment, the messengers and officials of Da Qin who had left with Feng Qingyang earlier returned, each with different expressions.
Bai Susu also couldn’t help but look over with Bai Wanwan.
Soon, there were hushed whispers around the dining table, and people were speaking in low voices, not knowing what they were talking about.
Prime Minister Bai glanced at Bai Susu and Bai Wanwan and said, "It’s getting late, Susu, Wanwan, you both are girls; it’s not suitable to stay up too late. You should go back and rest well."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan knew he didn’t plan to tell her what really happened tonight.
However, if Prime Minister Bai refused to tell, she had her ways to find out what was going on.
So she nodded at Prime Minister Bai, then stood up, greeted Bai Susu, and left feeling light-hearted and cheerful.
After all, she already knew Bai Susu hadn’t been reborn, and as for other matters, those were minor.
Meanwhile, after Bai Wanwan left, Bai Susu said to the Prime Minister, "Grandfather, what exactly happened later? I noticed everyone’s expressions looked quite peculiar."
Prime Minister Bai responded quickly and softly, "This is not the appropriate time to speak on this matter, but the Emperor’s mood must be terrible now."
But it was obvious that the Emperor couldn’t possibly be happy.
After all, with what the Crown Prince of Qi said, now the whole world knows he is not capable.
Even though the envoys of Qi later claimed Qi Hao’s words couldn’t be taken seriously as he was drunk and confused, looking at everyone’s excited expressions now, it’s clear many people didn’t believe it. Read complete versıon only at novel fire.net
Or rather, they believed it, but it didn’t stop them from enjoying the spectacle and others’ misfortune at this moment.
After Prime Minister Bai’s words, Bai Susu squinted her eyes and stopped asking further questions.
However, inside she was as curious as a little cat, eagerly wanting to fly home right now and have Feng Qiwu explain things clearly—how he managed to control the Wan Dynasty Conference’s rhythm so tightly without being present and made someone of Qi Hao’s stature end up so embarrassed.
At this time, Feng Qingyang’s eyes were full of coldness and authority as he glanced at Prime Minister Bai and signaled him to come over.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Bai approached respectfully and began investigating Qi Hao’s matter with Xia Ziyang at Feng Qingyang’s request.
Of course, this time Prime Minister Bai’s focus of the investigation was different from that of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
He and Xia Ziyang were to investigate Consort Li.
If Qi Hao’s drunken words were true, then the Emperor’s declining health wasn’t an accident but a scheme by Qi Hao.
In that case, how could the Emperor let it go?
Therefore, they must find sufficient evidence before Qi Hao wakes up to prove Qi Hao interfered with Da Qin’s harem and maybe even arranged for spies.
