After Luo Qingyu helped Xiao Huaiqing leave, a weak call came from under the banana tree outside the courtyard wall.
"The Crown Princess..."
Su Yingyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said lightly, "Let's go back to the room."
The little maid didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly helped Su Yingyue leave.
…
In Bai Changshi's study, after Luo Qingyu handed in the drawings, he looked at Xiao Huaiqing's body with some concern.
He said, "Let's ask the court doctor to come and take a look."
Bai Changshi quickly asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Huaiqing was reluctant to speak, lowered his head, and looked deeply shocked.
Luo Qingyu sighed and said, "Didn't you ask me to go to the princess to get the blueprints? The prince also wanted to see them, but the princess wouldn't let him, so a fight broke out."
"The prince is injured, but he refuses to call the palace doctor."
Bai Changshi stepped forward to check Xiao Huaiqing's pulse, and after confirming that he had only suffered minor injuries, he said, "The princess is now protected by experts, so why are you asking for trouble?"
Luo Qingyu remained silent and didn't dare to say anything. It was the princess who beat him personally.
Xiao Huaiqing didn't say anything, this is too embarrassing!
Bai Changshi continued, "The princess has finally come to her senses."
"Don't go against her from now on, my prince, otherwise none of us can help you."
After Bai Changshi finished speaking, he wrote down what the princess had just said to him in a letter home and prepared to send it to the prince for his review.
This was handed directly to Xiao Huaiqing to see.
Xiao Huaiqing took it and became more and more shocked the more he read it. He then raised his head and asked, "Did she say all this?"
Bai Changshi nodded.
"After a person's epiphany, their personality will indeed change. Your Highness, there is no need to find it strange."
"Just remember to be respectful to the princess from now on. In fact, there are some things I have wanted to say for a long time."
"You have always been prejudiced against the princess and have slandered her many times in front of the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Princess appears to respect you, she may not truly respect you in her heart."
“But if you change your attitude, the Crown Princess will naturally consider it when she sees it.”
"Otherwise, this seemingly flourishing palace is nothing more than another place of intrigue and scheming."
After hearing this, Xiao Huaiqing was silent for a long time before he said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai. I understand."
Bai Changshi said with relief, "It's good that you know. The princess has no children yet. Even if she does in the future, the prince is a fair man and will never make things difficult for you because of the princess. This palace will be yours sooner or later."
"So if the princess is willing to manage the palace well, from another perspective, it will also be beneficial to you and the Crown Prince's wife."
Xiao Huaiqing was devastated and in a very low mood. He nodded to everything Bai Changshi said, and it seemed that he no longer wanted to continue the confrontation with Lin Yue.
But when he returned to his room, he saw Su Yingyue coming to greet him, and he subconsciously asked, "Do you think Lin Yue is doing well now?"
Su Yingyue's hand tightened slightly while supporting him, but soon her expression returned to normal as she said, "Of course. Mother used to be... very strict, and she made me set the rules every day. Although that was what I should do, it meant I had very little time to spend with you."
"Now that Mother doesn't care about us anymore, as her daughter-in-law, I will also control myself and the servants around me, and I will have more time to take care of you."
"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you that we don't have to worry even if Mother still interferes in our affairs. Father will have to return home sooner or later. By then, she might have her own children and won't have time to care about us anymore."
Xiao Huaiqing smiled. He knew these things very well without Su Yingyue telling him.
And he has always been reminding himself like this, but since when did he forget these things?
Is it because Lin Yue ignored him, or is it because the way Lin Yue looks at him is so strange?
Or maybe now, when Lin Yue threw him heavily to the ground, she didn't hesitate at all.
When seeing him in pain, he could still say with a heart of stone that he felt sorry for his father.
The truly pitiful one is not his father, but him!
Xiao Huaiqing held Su Yingyue's hand and said, "You've always been very respectful to her, right? Have you ever been disobedient and made her angry?"
Su Yingyue was shocked and asked quickly, "Why do you ask that?"
Xiao Huaiqing said: "There's no reason, I just vaguely remember that she used to be a person with a good temper."
Su Yingyue's face turned pale. Lin Yue wanted to deal with her, so how could she just sit there and wait to die?
She knew what Lin Yue cared about most, which was to make her feel that she was out of reach and live in pain all her life.
Could it be that... Xiao Huaiqing knew all the words she said to provoke Lin Yue?
Su Yingyue quickly said, "My mother had that kind of personality when I married in. I never provoked her. Believe me."
I never provoked anyone, so I wasn't really bullied.
No wonder she suddenly fainted that day. Lin Yue knew she was pretending without even looking at her.
Only he was fooled like a fool.
Xiao Huaiqing let go of Su Yingyue's hand and said disappointedly, "I always thought you were the purest and kindest. From the beginning to the end, Lin Yue was evil and vicious, and only bullied you."
"Yingyue, it turns out that there are times when my eyes can't see the truth clearly."
Su Yingyue anxiously held Xiao Huaiqing's hand and nervously explained: "Huaiqing, listen to me, I really didn't hurt her. She was the one who was targeting me and didn't want us to be together."
"She's just playing hard to get now, don't you understand?"
"Only by staying away from her can we live a good life. Let's leave the capital and go to our father's fiefdom together. Let's not stay in the capital any longer."
