She could not help but feel shocked. Could it be that he had noticed her actions just now?

Hmph, so what if he found out? Why should she be afraid of him?

If he could notice her actions, he should be able to notice Meng Ruxue’s small actions too.

Even if he wanted to defend his sweetheart, he could not accuse her anyhow.

Next up was the talent competition. No one called Meng Fuying to perform, and Meng Fuying also relaxed. In any case, it had nothing to do with her.

Finally, it was Meng Ruxue’s solo dance.

Meng Ruxue walked onto the stage and danced gracefully with the music. It had to be said that Meng Ruxue really danced very well. The entire hall instantly fell silent as everyone’s eyes stared straight at Meng Ruxue who was dancing.

Some were shocked, some were envious, and some were jealous.

However, halfway through the dance, Meng Ruxue’s dance steps suddenly became chaotic. Her breathing clearly became hurried and uncontrollable.

She almost fell during some of the steps.

Everyone was stunned and looked at her strangely, not understanding what had happened to her.

However, Meng Fuying understood that the poison must have acted up. It must have been because Meng Ruxue’s movements were faster during the dance, so the poison acted up faster.

Meng Fuying coldly observed Meng Ruxue’s appearance after the poison flared up. Meng Ruxue had originally wanted to harm her this way.

Under everyone’s strange gazes, Meng Ruxue’s footsteps became more and more messy. It was not a dance step at all. It was messy dancing.

What shocked the crowd even more was that she started to pull at her clothes in a haphazard manner.

The top button of her top was suddenly ripped off, and her collar was flipped open. Although her skin was not exposed yet, such an action was clearly unsightly under such circumstances.

Meng Ruxue, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unaware of it. She continued to tug on it forcefully, and a few buttons were immediately ripped off. The snow-white skin on her neck was also exposed in front of everyone.

Meng Fuying’s eyes suddenly turned a few degrees colder. The medicine that Meng Ruxue had administered clearly made people lose their true nature.

Meng Ruxue wanted her to embarrass herself in such a situation.

In the past, she was a fool. If she suddenly did something out of line, everyone would think that she had a relapse and would not suspect anything.

Meng Ruxue was too ruthless.

No matter what, this body belonged to her sister. How could she harm her like this?

Hmph. However, Meng Ruxue would never have thought that she was the one who drank the poison. She was the one who embarrassed herself.

If she were to wake up and find out what she had done, how would she react?

This was a living example of how one should not sin.

On the stage, Meng Ruxue was still tugging at her clothes haphazardly. The buttons on her outer shirt had been ripped off, and she was actually taking off her outer shirt altogether already.

“What’s going on? Imperial physician, take a look at what’s going on with her!” The emperor’s face suddenly darkened as he shouted sternly.

“Yes.” The physician hurriedly ran up the stage, wanting to help Meng Ruxue check. However, Meng Ruxue suddenly stretched out her arm, wanting to hug the imperial physician. The imperial physician was so frightened that he fell onto the stage and almost rolled down.

Meng Ruxue even squatted down and stretched out her hands towards the imperial physician while giggling.

The imperial physician subconsciously took a few steps back and finally rolled off the stage successfully.

The ladies of the big families had never seen such a scene before. They all blushed and covered their faces. They were too embarrassed to look, but they could not help but peek through the gaps between their fingers.

Hesitation flashed across Bai Yichen’s eyes. He seemed to want to step forward, but he did not get up in the end.

The empress was also in shock and disbelief.

Consort Rou was even more shocked, her body seemingly trembling uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Ye remained silent, but his expression turned colder and colder.

“Guards, stop her.” The emperor could no longer watch on and shouted at the guards behind him.

The guards quickly flashed onto the stage and knocked Meng Ruxue unconscious before letting someone bring her down.

Bai Yichen looked in the direction where Meng Ruxue had left. There was anger and disappointment in the depths of his eyes.

When Meng Ruxue turned slightly, she caught the flash of emotion in Bai Yichen’s eyes.

He was secretly shocked. Anger? Disappointment? Unwillingness?

Bai Yichen’s disappointment and unwillingness?

Meng Fuying’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

Bai Yichen was involved in this matter?

At this moment, Meng Fuying suddenly understood their plan. Meng Ruxue poisoned her and made her lose her true nature. Then, Bai Yichen would approach her at that time. She, who had lost her true nature, would be just like how Meng Ruxue had treated the imperial physician…

If Meng Ruxue had not danced, the poison would have flared up not long after the banquet had just ended. By then, everyone should have already left the hall, but they would still be in the palace.

And Bai Yichen would probably take advantage of the situation and ruin her innocence in the palace.

They were truly vicious. A pair of vicious man and woman.

Unfortunately, she saw through their plan.

Meng Ruxue had already reaped what she sowed, and she would definitely not let Bai Yichen off so easily.

“Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.” After Meng Ruxue left, the emperor growled angrily again. Then, he pushed aside the poem written by the young ladies in front of him. “Ye’er, choose one yourself, right?”

There was obvious anger in the emperor’s voice.

The eunuch tidied up the papers and brought them to Xuanyuan Ye.

Xuanyuan Ye didn’t even look at the papers. With one hand, he casually flipped through the pages and took one out. His lips moved slightly as he said, “I’ll take her.”

From the beginning to the end, Xuanyuan Ye did not even look at the papers, let alone the poems and names on them.

His voice was also calm and emotionless.

The eyes of the ladies were filled with anticipation. After all, Meng Ruxue had been taken away after what had happened to her. Moreover, the Seventh Prince had randomly picked one without even looking at it. Perhaps any of them would be lucky enough to be drawn.

The corner of Meng Fuying’s lips fiercely twitched. Just like that, he closed his eyes and chose a person he would spend the rest of his life with.

Isn’t this too casual and irresponsible?

She did not know which unlucky person was unlucky enough to be drawn by him.

But who cared? It had nothing to do with her anyway.

Just as her father had said, she was just here to go through the motions.

Meng Fuying picked up a snack in front of her and slowly savored it. The desserts in the imperial palace were truly not bad..
