Bai Lingling, nestled in the Second Prince's arms, felt a little softer when she heard this. She nodded softly and said, "Second Brother Lingling believes in you. Second Brother, just go ahead and do it."
The brother and sister chatted for a while before Bai Lingling, worried that the Queen would come looking for them, said, "Brother, you must have run away secretly, right? Go back quickly! It's too late! The Queen will notice you're missing."
How could the Second Prince feel good when he saw Bai Lingling driving him away for the first time? But he had no choice but to nod and leave Bai Lingling's boudoir.
The Second Prince glanced back at Bai Lingling's room, then turned and walked towards Shen Yue's palace. Ruyi was guarding outside. Seeing the Second Prince coming, she walked into the palace and said to Shen Yue, who was pruning branches, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has arrived."
Shen Yue was a little surprised. Yu'er had been studying in his room all this time, so why did he come out today?
The Second Prince walked in angrily and questioned Shen Yue, "Mother, how could you tell Lingling to stay away from me?"
Hearing this, Shen Yue frowned, put down the scissors in her hand and said, "Did Bai Lingling tell you that?"
It seems that this matter was really done by the Queen Mother. The Second Prince doesn't understand why the Queen Mother can't accept Lingling when she is so good.
"Lingling thought I knew it, but I was the one who got it out of me."
Shen Yue straightened her back and looked at her son expressionlessly, saying, "So, Yu'er, are you here to question your mother? For Bai Lingling?"
In fact, Shen Yue never understood what was wrong with her son and why he always stood by Bai Lingling.
"Yu'er, tell me what Bai Lingling has done to deserve you to defy your father and even your mother!"
Faced with Shen Yue's questioning, the second prince could not answer a single word. He really wanted to tell his mother that he was reborn, but if he did so, she would not know what would happen next.
"I'm going back to review my studies."
Presumably, the Second Prince refused to answer her. Shen Yue hoped that he could answer her, but she could not push Bai Yu too hard. Now she used the reason of protecting Bai Lingling to make Bai Yu study hard.
I can't do anything to Bai Lingling for the time being, but... thinking of this, Shen Yue showed an intriguing smile, called Ruyi over, and said something in her ear, and Ruyi retreated.
Before Bai Lingling was ready to do anything, a large number of palace maids suddenly came in and took away all the few remaining luxurious vases and decorations in the room.
Seeing that they were even trying to touch the jewelry box given to her by her mother, Bai Lingling hurried forward and hugged the jewelry box.
"You can take anything! But you are not allowed to touch this!"
A wrinkled maid said calmly, "Your Highness, I am here on the orders of the Empress to take away the valuables from your palace."
Bai Lingling gritted her teeth and stared at the old lady.
"The contents of this box were left to me by my mother and given to me by my father. I'm sure the Empress has no right to take it away!"
The old nanny snorted coldly and said, "Is there anything in the harem that the Empress can't take? Is the Sixth Princess going to rebel against the Empress?"
Hearing this, Bai Lingling hugged the box tightly in her arms.
"Even if you beat me to death, I will not give you this box!"
The old nanny didn't expect that the Sixth Princess was so ignorant. She called two palace maids and was about to go forward to grab the box.
"stop!"
The Fourth Prince had thought of coming to see Bai Lingling today, but he hadn't expected to encounter something like this. He walked forward angrily, looked at the old nanny and said, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Nanny Li."
Nanny Li hadn't expected the Fourth Prince to return to Bai Lingling. She calmly bowed and said, "It's the Fourth Prince. I've come here on the orders of the Empress to take away the ornaments and other gold jewelry. I wonder what the Fourth Prince is doing here?"
After hearing this, what else does the Fourth Prince not understand?
Her eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice, "She is a princess, and you servants are trying to snatch her away. Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father?"
Li Ma Ma said without fear, "I am only following the Empress's orders."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince was so angry that he almost laughed.
"In that case, I will go and find my father. The Empress adopted Lingling, but you cunning slaves are the ones who are being taken care of. I'm sure the Empress will punish you severely if she finds out, right?"
Suddenly, Nanny Li stopped talking. Bai Lingling, with tears in her eyes, hugged the box and threw herself into the arms of the Fourth Prince, sobbing softly in his arms.
"Fourth brother, it's a good thing you arrived in time. If you were a step later, Lingling would not be able to keep the thoughts that mother left for her."
Seeing Bai Lingling weeping bitterly, the Fourth Prince angrily pointed at the servants in the room and said coldly, "All of you, wait for the Emperor's decree!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Bai Juncheng's palace with Bai Lingling. Bai Jinjin, who was playing with Bai Juncheng, heard Li Ji come to report that the Fourth Prince had brought Bai Lingling to see him for an important matter.
Although Bai Juncheng was somewhat unhappy that someone was disturbing the time he and Bai Jinjin were spending together, he still let them in. Bai Jinjin sat on Bai Juncheng's body and waited for them.
The furious Fourth Prince, accompanied by Bai Lingling, bowed to the man on the throne and said, "Your Highness, I have a matter for you to address."
The man was a little surprised that his fourth son, who had always been old-fashioned, actually wanted to ask him for help.
"Hui'er, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly."
The Fourth Prince bowed and said, "Today, I went to look for Lingling, but I saw that Madam Li, who was beside the Empress, had actually broken into Lingling's boudoir and was frantically searching for valuables. She even claimed that she was following the Empress' orders!"
This made Bai Jinjin very curious. Didn't the Queen adopt Bai Lingling just to deal with her? How could the agreement between the two be broken?
Bai Juncheng frowned and asked, "What exactly is going on? Hui'er, please explain it more clearly."
Bai Hui pulled Bai Lingling up, walked forward, looked at Bai Lingling and said, "Lingling, quickly explain to father what happened."
Seeing this, Bai Lingling knew that she had to say something. Since the Queen treated her like this, she would not be polite. Tears immediately fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Lingling was keeping watch in the bedroom when suddenly Madam Li brought a group of palace maids in and wanted to take away all the valuables in the room. She also wanted to take away the things that Lingling's mother had given her, saying that they were following the orders of the Empress Dowager."
Before she could finish her words, she burst into tears. The Fourth Prince patted her on the back with concern and continued, "When I went over there, those palace maids actually tried to snatch the jewelry from Lingling's arms!"
