Xuan Yuanhuan glanced over the young participants present and then fixed his gaze on Li Chengqian, showing a hint of doubt.
"Prime Minister Li, why isn't Li Yuyue here?"
As the future Crown Princess, if Li Yuyue could perform well in this imperial hunting event, she would gain even more praise.
When Xuan Yuanhuan spoke, everyone's faces showed a look of anticipation, as this was the most sensitive moment. Li Chengqian probably had been waiting for an opportunity to teach Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Chenbei a lesson. With the Emperor asking about it, he could take the chance to act.
Sure enough, a wave of anger surged on Li Chengqian's face, and the flames of hatred in his eyes wished to incinerate Baili Hongzhuang completely.
"This is a question for the Princess Consort!" Li Chengqian said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanhuan looked at Baili Hongzhuang with surprise.
He had heard some rumors about the previous conflict between Baili Hongzhuang and Li Yuyue at the Nishang Pavilion. Could something have happened again?
"Prime Minister Li, please speak clearly. I don't understand what you mean by speaking like this," Baili Hongzhuang said calmly, not caring at all, even though she knew Li Chengqian was about to provoke a confrontation.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's indifferent attitude, Li Chengqian's hatred intensified.
"Your Majesty, the current Prince and Princess Consort are completely disregarding others. Yesterday, the Prince even allowed his subordinates to injure Yuyue."
"Yuyue wanted to participate in the imperial hunting event, but her injuries were too severe, so she couldn't participate." Li Chengqian grew more agitated as he spoke. "Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Yuyue!"
Xuan Yuanhuan and Jiang Jinying's expressions changed when they heard this. From Li Chengqian's attitude, they knew this was true. But why did Emperor Chenbei, who had always been patient and restrained, suddenly change his attitude?
They knew Emperor Chenbei's original identity, but in the past three years, Emperor Chenbei had been low-key and patient. They thought Emperor Chenbei had no hope of returning, so they paid less attention to him.
Now that Emperor Chenbei suddenly changed his previous attitude, could it be because he wanted to protect Baili Hongzhuang? Or... had he gained the capital to return?
Thinking of the latter possibility, both Xuan Yuanhuan and Jiang Jinying were shaken.
If that was the case, Emperor Chenbei was truly remarkable!
"Crown Princess, can this matter be true as Prime Minister Li said?" Xuan Yuanhuan asked calmly.
Li Chengqian held a prominent position in Fengbo Kingdom, and he would become the future Duke. Similarly, Baili Hongzhuang was Emperor Chenbei's wife, and her identity was equally remarkable.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes gleamed with a touch of irony as she retorted, "Prime Minister Li is avoiding the main issue. Why don't you tell us why you came to the Prince's Residence?"
With these words, everyone couldn't help but look curiously at Li Chengqian. Until now, they were all curious why Li Chengqian brought Li Yuyue to the Prince's Residence. It was indeed strange.
Li Chengqian's expression changed slightly. He had been searching for reasons why Li Yuyue couldn't participate in the imperial hunting event all this time.
Although he was extremely ashamed of yesterday's incident and Li Yuyue's injury, he had found an excellent reason.
He didn't know why this matter had spread to so many people. Since it couldn't be concealed anymore, he might as well speak it out.
Neither Emperor Chenbei nor Baili Hongzhuang's status could compare to his own. Judging by the Emperor's attitude toward Emperor Chenbei in recent years, he believed that the Emperor would stand on his side.
