The events that occurred in the courtyard were not explicitly said out, but of those present, not one did not understand the hidden meaning of those words. That is to say, Huang Yueli's fainting was caused from Bai Ruoqi's shameless remarks!
The Empress Dowager was naturally biased towards Huang Yueli, mainly due to her absence for the past ten years. And the chances of her colluding with Imperial Physician Liu really weren't that high.
However, with Bai Ruoqi's half-true and half-false tearful lamentations, the Empress Dowager became a little puzzled.
Of the two girls, one must be the mastermind; though the likelihood of Bai Ruoqi was much larger. But why would she take such a big risk to frame her younger sister in the Palace? Just how much hatred and resentment was there?
Bai Ruoqi often accompanied the Empress Dowager in the Palace, so she was reluctant to believe that a girl she quite liked would turn out to be such an insidious and sinister viper-like woman.
