Blood flowed down Xiao Huaiqing's forehead. He looked at his royal grandmother in disbelief as she protected Lin Yue behind her. Lin Yue just looked at him sarcastically, with coldness in her eyes.
That gloating look completely chilled Xiao Huaiqing's heart. He was unable to vent the pain that was choking him, so he just let the servants drag him out.
After Xiao Huaiqing returned to the palace, he locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the woman in the palace was not Lin Yue at all.
The real Lin Yue would not treat him like this, let alone hurt him, so the one in the palace must be a ghost, and she is the one who occupied Lin Yue's body.
He wanted to find a way to get Lin Yue back. He wanted the previous Lin Yue to stay by his side, guarding the palace for the rest of her life, and not go anywhere!
Xiao Huaiqing thought about it, his red eyes filled with the pain of not being able to get what he wanted.
When Nanny Wang heard that he was injured, she guessed that he had been wronged in the palace, so she hurried to coax him several times and even made Xiao Huaiqing's favorite braised lion's head, but Xiao Huaiqing just refused to open the door.
Nanny Wang had no choice but to ask Su Yingyue to persuade her. But Su Yingyue said lazily, "If the prince wants to be alone, then let him be. He will come out naturally when he wants to."
"Mammy, go and get busy. Don't tire yourself out."
Nanny Wang was extremely dissatisfied and vented her resentment, "Wait until something happens to the prince and you'll be satisfied. Then we'll see who can protect you!"
After she said that, she left angrily.
The maidservant beside Su Yingyue said, "Madame Wang is always so overbearing. She doesn't even consider who will be the future mistress of this palace."
Su Yingyue said, "She raised the prince. She's called a wet nurse, but in reality, the prince has been motherless since birth, so he has always respected her."
"Forget it, these things are none of our business."
When Nanny Wang returned, Luo Qingyu happily came to greet her and said, "Mother, the Empress Dowager's steward Deng has brought me the token to enter and leave the palace. From now on, my son can enter and leave the palace freely."
After he finished speaking, he handed the token to Nanny Wang.
Who knew that Nanny Wang just glanced at him and said coldly, "What's there to be happy about? The prince has been wronged and you didn't even bother to check on him. It must be that woman Lin Yue trying to sow discord again. I knew she had bad intentions."
"You are such an unfaithful woman, you will be punished sooner or later."
Luo Qingyu frowned in disappointment and quickly said, "I asked Steward Deng, and he said that when the prince entered the palace, he didn't even see the princess. He was punished because he contradicted the queen mother."
Nanny Wang said angrily, "Who is Steward Deng to tell you the truth? Now that the princess is in the palace, he will definitely speak for her. I can't believe you actually believed him."
"Remember, if it weren't for the grace bestowed upon you by His Highness, you would still be a servant. How could you possibly be the commander of the guards?"
"Your benefactor is the prince, so you must be loyal to him for the rest of your life, even in death you must not betray him."
Luo Qingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. In his mother's eyes, he seemed to be the prince's appendage forever, and he would never be able to make a difference in the palace. Even if he did, it would be to pave the way for the prince.
He knew that as a subordinate, these were his duties and he never complained.
But seeing his mother protecting the prince so much and treating him like a piece of trash, he couldn't help but feel sad.
But in order not to disappoint his mother, he nodded and said, "I will investigate carefully when I enter the palace tomorrow to find out what is going on."
After hearing this, Nanny Wang relaxed her expression and said, "That's right. Then go and persuade the prince to eat something. If he refuses, tell him that you will monitor the princess's every move and report it to him. Don't worry, that woman can't steal anything from the palace."
Luo Qingyu refused: "I can agree to other things, but the princess is also my master, I can't do it."
With a "slap", Nanny Wang slapped Luo Qingyu hard.
And she said angrily: "I am the former princess's maidservant. Because of the former princess, my mother and I can live a peaceful life."
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the commander of the guards. Don't think you can disrespect your elders just because you were promoted by Lin Yue. I'm still a slave. The prince made an exception and promoted you because the prince begged for you. If you anger me, I'll take you back to the countryside to farm and let you dream of becoming a general for the rest of your life!"
"Humph, you ungrateful bastard!"
"You're just like your damn father, you have no conscience at all!"
"Bah! If I had known I would have strangled you to death when I gave birth to you!"
Luo Qingyu took a deep breath, her heart aching beyond measure. But she simply held the token in her hand, looked up at the sky, and gave a helpless, wry smile.
His mother was too extreme. He could never go and monitor the princess and report back to the prince.
Luo Qingyu got up and left, but Nanny Wang was still scolding.
The servants couldn't stand it anymore and ran to report to Bai Changshi.
Bai Changshi frowned and asked Butler Qian to stop it, while he went to find Luo Qingyu.
Seeing Luo Qingyu chewing on a dry biscuit, Bai Changshi said, "Come to my place for a drink?"
Luo Qingyu said: "Don't bother me, Chief Secretary. I have to be on duty soon."
Bai Changshi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Some old people are just confused. Just ignore them. Filial piety is fine, but you can't indulge them endlessly. Otherwise, it becomes foolish filial piety."
Luo Qingyu smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Chief Secretary. I understand."
Bai Changshi then nodded and turned to leave.
At the same time, in Songyue Palace.
Xiao Jingyun noticed Lin Yue's distress and said, "Xiao Huaiqing is not without weaknesses. He is most afraid of his grandfather, Duke Cui."
