"If Second Brother can't explain it to us, I'm sorry we can't stay here with you."

Bai Yu looked at the departing Third and Fourth Princes with a hurt look on his face.

"Brother, did I really do something wrong?" Bai Yu turned his head and looked at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing patted his shoulder distressedly and said, "Believe in yourself, you did the right thing."

Noon.

Bai Yu regained his spirit and returned to Fengwei Palace. He still had important things to do.

"Weren't these meals prepared yesterday? Why are they the same today?" Shen Yue looked at the dishes on the table with disdain.

Just as Bai Yu was about to enter the room, he turned sideways and hid outside the door.

"Your Majesty, it is winter now and there are fewer vegetables, so some meals will be cooked repeatedly." The young eunuch stood aside and explained to Shen Yue with a nod and a bow.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue sneered, "What do you mean by repeating it? You just want to take advantage of me because I'm imprisoned!"

After saying this, Shen Yue knocked the dish closest to her to the ground.

Bai Yu outside the door immediately understood that what Chen Yue said to him that morning was a lie, and the light in his almond-shaped eyes dimmed a little.

While Shen Yue was teaching the servants a lesson, Bai Yu walked in calmly.

"Mother, is this what you mean by treating you harshly?"

Bai Yu's voice suddenly resounded throughout Fengwei Palace. Chen Yue's movements immediately stopped and she slowly looked towards the door.

"Yu'er, when did you come?"

"Before my mother scolds the palace maids." Bai Yu looked at Shen Yue indifferently.

Bai Yu glanced at the young eunuch beside him and said, "You can leave now."

The young eunuch ran out as if he had been pardoned.

"Mother, what you told me this morning was all false, right?" Bai Yu was a person who always asked directly when he had questions.

For a moment, Shen Yue's throat seemed to be locked and she couldn't utter a word.

"Mother, please sit down and have your meal." Bai Yu sat down calmly and invited Chen Yue to have her meal together.

Shen Yue couldn't understand her son at all now, so she could only come down to eat.

"Yu'er, try this dish."

As if to make up for her lie in the morning, Shen Yue kept adding more food to Bai Yu's plate.

"Mother, I have eaten enough, you can eat too." Bai Yu still looked indifferent, which made Shen Yue feel nervous.

After dinner.

Bai Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, stared at Shen Yue and said, "Mother, I went to see the soldiers recuperating in the barracks."

"Yu'er, how could you follow Bai Jinjin to such a bloody place?"

Seeing Bai Yu bring it up himself, Shen Yue tried to persuade Bai Yu earnestly.

"It was only when I went there that I realized that what you did, mother, has left so many people homeless." Bai Yu stared blankly into Shen Yue's eyes.

It actually made Shen Yue feel guilty for a moment.

"Mother, you should take this time to reflect on your mistakes. I cannot help you."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave Fengwei Palace.

"Yu'er! Have you been bewitched by Bai Jinjin? I am your mother!" Shen Yue didn't expect Bai Yu to be so heartless and roared.

"It's not that Jinjin said anything to her son, but what you did this time was really too much. I can't find any reason to defend you!"

When Bai Yu heard Shen Yue's words, he turned around and spoke to Shen Yue with a firm gaze.

"But I am also your mother! Do you really want to be so heartless?" Shen Yue looked at Bai Yu in disbelief.

"Mother, it's not that I'm heartless to you, but you've been confined by my father. Even if I go to beg you, it will be of no avail." Bai Yu responded to Shen Yue in a low voice.

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Shen Yue watched Bai Yu helplessly and suddenly felt that she had raised an ungrateful person for all these years!

I happened to pass by Bai Lingling.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Bai Lingling grabbed Bai Yu and asked.

The young man looked a little lonely. He took Bai Lingling's hand and said, "Lingling, my second brother has something to do right now, so I won't play with you anymore."

Bai Lingling looked at Bai Yu leaving and rushed into the hall hurriedly.

Shen Yue's body was shaking and she seemed to be falling to the ground.

"Empress." Bai Lingling hurried forward, grabbed Shen Yue's shoulders, and helped her sit on the chair.

Shen Yue didn't expect that the person who supported her was Bai Lingling, and she looked a little surprised.

"Why is it you?"

"Surprised?"

Of course Bai Lingling would not be so kind. Although she had already torn her face with Shen Yue, she still had to rely on her status as queen to live a better life in the palace.

The woman's vision suddenly went dark, she frowned and rubbed her forehead.

Suddenly, Bai Lingling had an idea, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"What countermeasures? Tell me quickly." Shen Yue clamped Bai Lingling's arms tightly with both hands as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Bai Lingling felt pain in her arms from being grabbed, and she quickly shook off Shen Yue's hands.

"Your Majesty can pretend to faint, so that I can have the opportunity to get you in and out of confinement."

If it were in the past, Shen Yue would definitely think that this was not reliable, but she was imprisoned now, and she would try any method she could.

"Okay, then who do you want to make the decision on this matter?" Although Shen Yue agreed with Bai Jinjin's idea, she was still full of doubts.

Bai Lingling smiled leisurely and said, "Besides the Emperor, isn't there also the Empress Dowager in this palace?"

"Then go quickly." Shen Yue stood up and pushed Bai Lingling, then went to the dressing table to take off her makeup and lay down on the bed.

Seeing Shen Yue's cooperation, Bai Lingling couldn't help but sneer. Without even looking at Shen Yue, she turned and left.

The Queen Mother's palace.

Bai Jinjin, the second prince and others were all in the Queen Mother's palace.

"Yu'er, have you made some progress in your studies these past two days?" The Queen Mother looked at Bai Yu kindly and said.

Bai Yu replied with a smile.

"Replying to the Empress, my grandson's studies have improved a lot. The teacher praised his great progress."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction and looked at Bai Jinjin, "Jinjin, have you made any progress?"

"Grandma Huang, please let Jinjin go of her homework."

Bai Jinjin frowned. She hadn't been to the Imperial College for several days and had no idea what the teachers had talked about.

The Queen Mother saw Bai Jinjin's cute little face wrinkled, laughed happily, and patted her little head.

"Since our Jinjin doesn't want to talk about it, then Grandma Huang won't ask."

Bai Jinjin immediately smiled and said sweetly, "I knew that Grandma Huang loved me the most."

"The Empress Dowager obviously loves me the most." The third prince immediately became unwilling and said from the side.

The girl stuck out her tongue at him.

"You have no say."
