Upon hearing this, Bai Xilie immediately ordered Eunuch Quan Xi to command the entire army to retreat and return to the palace!
Upon returning to Ruizhu Palace, Qingmei naturally rushed over excitedly to exchange pleasantries with Bai Zhi'er.
Bai Zhi'er took out the gifts she brought from Great Qin, which Qingmei loved very much.
Feng Fuce was called to the Imperial Study Room by Bai Xilie midway.
In the Imperial Study Room, Bai Xilie expressed his anger as a father.
"Were you present when Long Xiyuan made that decision?"
"I was present," Feng Fuce responded calmly.
Bai Xilie fumed: "Then why didn't you stop it! I have only one daughter, Zhi'er."
Feng Fuce looked up, speaking with composure: "But the Princess said she was willing."
Bai Xilie snorted: "Isn't it because Long Xiyuan played the sympathy card? Zhi'er is kind-hearted; naturally, she couldn't bear to refuse."
But this is unacceptable.
She goes out once, helps a person, and comes back recognizing a godfather.
