Bai Jinjin transmigrated into a book! She became a small cannon fodder who choked to death on lychees in a novel about a sister-chasing "cremation ground" plot (brothers regretting their pa...
Seeing the smile in Ye Jiuge's eyes, Bai Juncheng's upright body seemed to relax a little.
Bai Jinjin was quite puzzled as to how Bai Juncheng knew about this.
"Dad, how did you know about this?"
Bai Juncheng sighed and handed the memorial in his hand to Bai Jinjin, without any concern about the confidentiality of the memorial, which should not be seen by anyone except the emperor.
This behavior surprised Ye Jiuge. He knew that Bai Jinjin was deeply loved by Bai Juncheng, but he didn't expect that she was so favored.
Bai Jinjin looked at the contents of the memorial carefully. The final signature was Lin Junyin. Bai Jinjin was a little confused about who this person was.
"Daddy, who is Lin Junyin?"
Bai Juncheng explained: "He is Concubine Rou's father, and the fourth prince's grandfather."
This is even more strange. How did Prime Minister Lin know what was going on inside the palace when he lived outside? Who told him?
Bai Jinjin got down from the chair and said to Bai Juncheng, "Dad, since Brother Ye has already explained it, then everything is fine, right?"
Bai Juncheng scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, now that Brother Ye is gone, you don't want your father anymore?"
Bai Jinjin put her hands behind her back and said, "Daddy is accompanied by Mommy, so Jinjin will go play with Brother Ye."
Upon hearing this, Bai Juncheng looked at Ye Jiuge. Although he knew that Jinjin was only talking about the companionship between playmates, as a father, Bai Juncheng felt really uncomfortable listening to it. He felt as if his daughter would be taken away in the near future.
Ye Jiuge spread his hands innocently.
"Your Highness, I am merely accompanying the princess while you are busy with government affairs."
After hearing this, Bai Juncheng felt relieved and waved his hand to let them go.
After Bai Jinjin and Ye Jiuge left, Bai Juncheng's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Li Ji, find out for me who reported the palace incident to the Prime Minister's residence."
Bai Juncheng actually had a candidate in mind, but he still needed to verify it before he could be sure. An emperor could not convict someone based on his own speculation.
The two people had already left the Xuanzheng Hall, and Ye Jiuge walked behind them calmly. Bai Jinjin had been wondering whether the Fourth Prince had told Prime Minister Lin about this matter, but this was not a big deal. If it was for Bai Lingling, Bai Jinjin really felt it was not worth it.
Ye Jiuge called Bai Jinjin's fair face tense, and he sighed and said, "Jinjin, don't think about it. Even if you don't solve this matter, your father will solve it."
Bai Jinjin thought about it and realized that although this memorial was accusing the villain, it actually proved that the harem was connected to the previous dynasty. Thinking of this, Bai Jinjin was no longer worried.
The tense little face relaxed, and he sighed and said, "Brother Ye, it's all because of me that the Prime Minister slandered you like this." Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuge pursed his lips with a gentle expression. He didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed everything.
Bai Jinjin seemed to understand as well. She took a deep breath and said, "Hmph, I'm being pretentious. Let's go. We haven't finished preparing for the autumn hunt yet!" Then she skipped and ran towards the road leading to the Imperial Household Department.
Li Ji also found out that the person who delivered the letter to Prime Minister Lin was Concubine Rou. Bai Juncheng's face was gloomy. It was indeed her. He immediately went to the Yangxin Palace.
On the other hand, after Concubine Rou was told that her father's memorial was rejected by the emperor, she felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
Just when she was about to ask her personal maid to deliver another letter to Prime Minister Lin, she hadn't finished writing when she heard Bai Juncheng coming. She hurriedly threw a piece of unused rice paper on it.
Greet Bai Juncheng with a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you want to talk to me about today?"
Bai Juncheng had a cold face since he entered Lin Huirou's palace. When he saw Lin Huirou asking him what was the matter, he snorted coldly. This snort startled Concubine Rou, fearing that the fact that she had sent a letter to her father had been discovered.
She forced herself to smile calmly at Bai Juncheng and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Seeing that Concubine Rou had no intention of admitting her mistake, Bai Juncheng sat down at the desk, looked at the layer of rice paper spread on the table, and said sarcastically: "Concubine Rou, it seems that your second letter has not been sent out yet."
Hearing this, Concubine Rou's delicate face turned pale with fear and she quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing that Concubine Rou was still resisting, Bai Juncheng waved his hand and lifted the rice paper on the table, revealing an unfinished letter. He looked at Concubine Rou with cold eyes.
"Rou Fei, do you know your mistake?"
Seeing that she could no longer evade the situation, Concubine Rou said, "I have no other intentions. It's just that this hostage from a neighboring country is being too rampant on your land, Your Majesty. That's why I resorted to this desperate measure."
Bai Juncheng's expression remained unchanged as he spoke to Concubine Rou without any emotion: "Concubine Rou, I don't care about this matter. What I care about is that this harem has colluded with the previous dynasty. You are so bold."
Seeing this, Concubine Rou begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. It was really unintentional."
Bai Juncheng said coldly, "If you were interested, you would be in the Heavenly Prison now, keeping an eye on your son and your position. The playfulness between children actually led a gentle person like you to collude with the previous dynasty. Do you think you did the right thing?"
Bai Juncheng said and walked out.
Lin Huirou was still frightened and had not recovered from her shock. She was thinking about Bai Juncheng's words in her mind. Yes, she has always been a person who doesn't care about other people's business. Why should she care so much about the play between these children?
Lin Huirou never doubted her son from beginning to end, and she didn't know that her son had severely betrayed her because of another girl.
Here, Bai Lingling was also preparing things for the autumn hunt for her four brothers. Seeing Bai Lingling busying around for them, the four brothers felt deeply that everything they did for Bai Lingling was worth it.
Bai Lingling looked at the things she had sorted out, then turned to the four princes and said, "Since it's the autumn hunt, why don't you tell your father to go to the armory and choose your bows and arrows?"
The eldest prince thought this was feasible, so he asked his attendants to report to Bai Juncheng. The third prince helped Bai Lingling sit on a stool and said, "Okay, Lingling, let the palace maids do these things. Don't be busy with them until your hand is healed."
Bai Lingling smiled gently and said, "Third brother, what are you saying? Isn't it normal for a younger sister to help a brother pack the things he needs to bring?"
When the four princes heard their beloved sister say this, they all laughed, and Bai Lingling's cheeks turned red as she watched them laugh.
