She had heard from those around her that Xuanli's relationship with Madam Bai had not been good recently, and even entertained thoughts of deposing the consort and sending Madam Bai back to Bai Shui.
The Dragon Mother had a fleeting shadow in her eyes and sent a message.
"Could it be that Madam Bai colluded with outsiders to harm Li'Er, should we also search her soul...?"
"Are you saying..."
Xuan Cheng's eyes darkened slightly.
The Dragon Mother said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's possible that Madam Bai knew Li'Er intended to depose her, and thus had murderous intent, colluding with outsiders coveting that Sea King Festival slot to harm Li'Er!"
Xuan Cheng heard this and pondered slightly, recalling the memories in Huo Nu'Er's mind.
From Huo Nu'Er's memories, he learned that Xuanli and his spouse were simply 'acting', deceiving the Celestial Fire Palace.
