When Bai Li Hongzhuang walked out of the palace, she witnessed this scene: Blackwood and Han Xilin were locked in a standoff, and Han Xilin's arrogant appearance was particularly disgusting.
"Hongzhuang!" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but call out with joy upon seeing Hongzhuang's appearance. They hadn't seen her for a long time since she last left.
"Zhiqing." Hongzhuang's exquisitely perfect face lit up with a smile of delight as she quickly walked to Xia Zhiqing's side.
Zhan Yunfeng and the others also looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang, their faces filled with joyful smiles. It had been a long time since they last met, and seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang again brought them great surprise.
However, the current situation was obviously not the time for catching up. Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at Blackwood and Han Xilin and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang walk out of the palace, Han Xilin and Tao Congrong were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had been searching the palace for a long time and hadn't seen Bai Li Hongzhuang, so they thought she had left with Emperor Beichen. They never expected Bai Li Hongzhuang to be inside the palace all along, and they simply couldn't find her.
How was that possible?
Han Xilin couldn't understand. She had searched every corner of the palace earlier and didn't detect any trace of Bai Li Hongzhuang. Could it be that Bai Li Hongzhuang's concealment ability was so strong that even she was fooled?
She didn't want to admit it at all.
"Madam." Blackwood, Heiming, and the others all saluted Bai Li Hongzhuang. Since the moment Bai Li Hongzhuang married Young Sect Master, she had become their Madam.
Except for the Young Sect Master's orders, they only listened to Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Seeing Blackwood again, Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes revealed a hint of amusement as she nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's our honor to serve the Young Sect Master and Madam," Blackwood replied respectfully. In their eyes, apart from the Young Sect Master, they only obeyed Bai Li Hongzhuang's orders.
Observing the obedient demeanor of Blackwood and the others towards Bai Li Hongzhuang, Han Xilin's eyes flickered with jealous madness. She simply couldn't believe what she was seeing. Blackwood and the others actually showed such respect for Bai Li Hongzhuang, completely different from how they treated her before!
Tao Congrong also showed astonishment on her face. She knew that Blackwood, Heiming, and the others only obeyed the Young Sect Master's orders and disregarded commands from anyone else. Previously, the only person who could make Blackwood and the others somewhat obedient was Han Xilin herself, but even then, they weren't as submissive as they were now. It seemed that Bai Li Hongzhuang had gained an unprecedented reputation in their hearts.
"This is simply impossible!" Han Xilin couldn't accept it.
"What happened?" Bai Li Hongzhuang asked again, her gaze already shifting towards Han Xilin. It was evident that Han Xilin was deliberately causing trouble.
"Madam, Miss Han said that before the Young Sect Master left, he mentioned that no one is allowed to enter the palace, so we are not allowed in now," Blackwood truthfully reported.
Upon hearing this, a mocking light gleamed in Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes. It seemed that Han Xilin had run out of ideas and could only come up with these meaningless excuses.
Han Xilin coldly stared at Bai Li Hongzhuang. Her reasons were completely valid, and she wanted to see what Bai Li Hongzhuang could do to change the situation. What she wanted was to make Bai Li Hongzhuang feel uncomfortable!
