Bai Xilie maintained a composed deanor, sowhat stern: "So she is the daughter of Duke Ping?"
Duke Ping hurriedly stepped forward, bowing: "Your Majesty, these are just childish words from my daughter. Prince Qing is an Imperial Relative, my daughter wouldn’t dare to overreach."
Bai Xilie slowly said: "If the fourth brother appreciates her, there’s no need for such modesty. Miss An, co forward."
An Suzhu was delighted in her heart and quickly stepped forward gracefully.
Prince Qing frowned, looking at Bai Xilie: "Imperial Brother, I have never accepted any goddaughter or adopted daughter, nor do I want to."
Bai Xilie looked toward his beloved daughter.
"Then where did Zhi’er hear it from?"
The little one pointed at An Suzhu, speaking softly: "She said it herself, Fifth Brother heard it too."
The Fifth Heir nodded vigorously to affirm his sister’s words.
Duke Ping felt utterly embarrassed.
He once again bowed, sincerely saying: "Your Majesty, forgive . My daughter was so reckless, I will surely discipline her strictly upon returning!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes: "Uncle Ping, why would you discipline her? Didn’t she do a good deed?"
"I saw with my own eyes that Miss An said it was to treat Little Uncle’s toothache, and she spent a lot of money to buy Xi Pills for him."
After saying that, the little one looked at Prince Qing: "Little Uncle, did you take it?"
Prince Qing pursed his lips: "I didn’t take it; I gave it to soone else."
An Suzhu was taken aback, looking at Prince Qing: "To whom did the Prince give it?"
This was Xi Pills! There’s only one in the whole Capital!
The Prince himself had a severe toothache and even gave the Xi Pills to soone else?
An Suzhu abruptly turned her head, looking at Bai Zhi’er.
She imdiately understood.
"I’ve heard that Princess also has a dental ailnt, causing both cheeks to be red and swollen. But looking now, it seems much better, so presumably, the Prince’s Xi Pills were given to the Princess?"
Before Bai Zhi’er spoke, An Suzhu already looked aggrieved.
She looked at Bai Zhi’er and said: "The Xi Pills the Princess took were bought with a lot of my silver and goodwill, gifted to Prince Qing."
"How could the Princess have accepted my goodwill, yet turn around and make my joke public, making others laugh at ?"
Bai Xilie imdiately beca sowhat displeased, his gaze darkened as he stared at An Suzhu.
Of course, he picked up on the accusatory tone in An Suzhu’s words.
She dared to bla his daughter?
Bai Zhi’er furrowed her little brows: "I didn’t take your Xi Pills! And it wasn’t who took it!"
An Suzhu didn’t believe it.
Prince Qing said he gave it to soone, and the little princess just happened to seem better.
If it wasn’t her, then who?
At that mont, a weak male voice ca through—
"The Xi Pills... are with ."
Everyone turned back to see Ke Shouwang standing there, eyes slightly fearful.
The Eldest Heir, sowhat impatient, said: "Ke Shouwang, why is it you again!"
Ke Shouwang quickly walked over to pay respects to the Emperor and the Princess.
"This Xi Pills were given by Prince Qing."
Prince Qing imdiately took over his words and continued: "Because I knew he was helping Zhi’er find dicine for her dental ailnt, I heard Xi Pills had miraculous effects, so I asked Ke Shouwang to deliver it to Zhi’er for ."
Ke Shouwang felt a bit ashad: "But I arrived late at the banquet today, so I hadn’t had the chance to hand it to the Princess..."
An Suzhu was shocked: "Then... then the Princess..."
How could she possibly have reduced the swelling so much in just a day?
At this mont, Feng Fuce stood coldly from among the seats, striding over to Bai Zhi’er’s side.
He lowered his head and said: "Take out the dicine pouch I gave you."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes and imdiately obediently complied.
When the little one turned the dicine pouch over, a dozen Xi Pills rolled out one after another.
Feng Fuce looked at An Suzhu: "The dicine was my gift to the Princess. Her improved condition is because of , not you."
"Xi Pills may be a rare dicine to you, but that doesn’t an it is to others, understand?"
