The Marquis's Mansion was demolished and left with nothing but its walls. Old Lady Lu was so angry that she fell on the bed and couldn't get up. She repeatedly asked people to look for Lu Yan, but he was left in the palace and couldn't come out. The messenger had to wait at the palace gate and didn't dare to go back.
The matter of rewarding the army had been delayed for a long time, and now it had to be handled specially. The emperor urgently summoned people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue into the palace and took Lu Yan to the imperial study.
Bai Wanyi was left in the Queen's palace to talk. At this moment, there was only Xie Qing in her heart and eyes. She was a little absent-minded no matter what the Queen asked.
The Queen looked meaningfully at Bai Wanyi and then at Xie Qing. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, she glanced at him and said, "Look at you, you look so lazy. You're not in a hurry even after getting into trouble."
Xie Qing was unconvinced: "Where did my son get into trouble? Mother, please don't wrongly accuse me."
The Queen patted his head gently and said, "Are you really attracted to that Qin? As soon as she left, you couldn't wait to follow her. Aren't you afraid that your father will get tired of you?"
Xie Qing laughed and said, "You don't really care about me. It's just that your mother treats you well."
"Get lost," the Queen scolded him with a smile, then quickly called him back, "Wait, first prepare some small gifts and go to the Qin family to apologize."
Xie Qing frowned in confusion: "Mother, why should I go to the Qin family to apologize?"
The Queen sighed, "Qin's divorce has something to do with you, after all. If Marquis Qin gets angry, won't he report you? And then your father will punish you. I'll have someone prepare a gift, and you can go to the Qin household."
Xie Qing was not very happy about it, but he agreed: "Don't worry, mother, I will go right away."
Xie Qing swung his sleeves and ran out. The Queen, with a smiling face, snorted coldly after he turned around. Marquis Qin had always cherished this granddaughter. If he knew that it was the Crown Prince who caused Qin Wan to divorce and return home, hehe...
Bai Wanyi rolled her eyes a few times, and then she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave first."
The Queen pretended to keep her: "Just stay with me and talk. When Marquis Lu is done with his work, he will come to pick you up. Wouldn't it be nice for the two of you to go home together?"
Bai Wanyi quickly waved her hands and shook her head: "No, no, no, Marquis Lu and I do not live together. Your Majesty, please don't say anything nonsense. I'm leaving first."
Bai Wanyi bowed hastily and turned to run away.
The Queen pointed at Bai Wanyi's back and sneered, "Our Crown Prince is quite charming."
The head maid beside her laughed and said, "Both of Marquis Lu's women are involved with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is going to be difficult."
"Haha." The Queen covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes flashing with a bit of gloating, "Our prince..."
Bai Wanyi hurriedly caught up with Xie Qing and called out in a sweet voice, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"What's the matter?" Xie Qingxiu looked at Bai Wanyi with his hands folded, and walked out without stopping.
Bai Wanyi chased after him with great effort, looking at Xie Qing with sparkling eyes and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince must not go to the Qin family."
"Oh? Will my mother harm me again?" Xie Qing seemed to be interested. He stopped and stared at Bai Wanyi from head to toe.
Bai Wanyi had changed her clothes before entering the palace and even put on some makeup to fake a natural look. Seeing Xie Qing staring at her, she shyly turned her head away, revealing the most beautiful side of her face. She said, "Anyone who can go to the First-Class Pavilion must be rich or noble. Such people would never say nonsense outside."
"The eunuch in the palace today is the Empress's man. He shouldn't have told this story and embarrassed the Crown Prince, but he did. Why did His Royal Highness not know?"
"The Qin family still doesn't know about this. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rashly goes there with something to apologize, wouldn't that be telling the Qin family and everyone in the world that Marquis Lu and his wife are divorcing because of the Crown Prince?"
"How will the world view Your Highness then?" Bai Wanyi said this sincerely. She was really afraid that the Crown Prince and Qin Wan would confirm their affair.
Qin Wan must be quite capable to be able to manage the Marquis's Mansion for eight years. If the Qin family takes the opportunity to let Qin Wan enter the palace to be a concubine of the crown prince, wouldn't that be seizing the initiative?
Bai Wanyi earnestly advised: "Your Highness, please think twice."
Xie Qing stared at Bai Wanyi and tugged at his collar impatiently. This woman's methods of winning people's hearts were still so despicable.
The loose collar spread out to both sides, revealing a white and thin neck.
Bai Wanyi looked up and saw this scene. She was stunned. That nonchalant look coupled with this outfit was really...
Cool and handsome!
Eye-catching!
Moreover, the prince used to look strong, but now he looks a little thin. However, this thinness has a kind of morbid beauty, which is really hard to look away from.
Xie Qing hated this kind of gaze from her the most. It was so blatantly seductive, yet secretly she had a vicious heart. He sneered, "Oh, Lord Lu's taste is really not very good. One woman after another wants to get close to me. Are you worthy of Lord Lu by doing this?"
Bai Wanyi came to her senses and quickly distanced herself from Lu Yan. She shook her head, her eyes red and she sobbed, "How could the Crown Prince look at me like that? I just couldn't stand the Queen's sweet exterior and bitter heart, and wanted to warn the Crown Prince, but he misunderstood me as a fickle person? Are the Qin family easy to deal with? I heard that the Qin family has been practicing martial arts for generations. What if they dare to attack the Crown Prince?"
Although Bai Wanyi was expressing her grievances, her eyes were always paying attention to her surroundings. If someone passed by, she would definitely look well-behaved, but when she spoke, the look in her eyes was different.
Xie Qing's eyes darkened, but when Bai Wanyi looked over, he became nonchalant again. "Bai, I am the crown prince. Don't you know this? Thunder, lightning, rain, and dew are all grace from the emperor. How dare they attack me?"
