Shen Yue had been very peaceful these past few days, without any disturbances. Even the Second Prince had been very obedient and hadn't gotten too close to Bai Lingling. "Ruyi, do you think there's a storm going on because the Queen is so quiet right now?"
Ruyi bowed her head and said with a hint of joy, "Your Majesty, today Mo Yunqiu openly contradicted His Majesty in the court. His Majesty was so angry that he wanted to punish the Zhenguo Mansion."
Shen Yue laughed out loud, her slender fingers gently covering her mouth. "Oh? There is such a good thing?"
Although this general did not help anyone to become the crown prince, he has always disliked Yu'er's style of doing things and would probably not support him.
If his family had been punished, this general would have returned from the frontier with his family broken up, his wife and children separated, and he would have been devastated.
Since there is no guarantee that this national general will support her Yu'er, it is better to eliminate him as soon as possible to prevent him from becoming the biggest obstacle in the future.
Shen Yue's expression gradually twisted, and her smile became strange and unbearable. "This Mo Yunqiu really helped me a lot."
Then there was a burst of shrill laughter. When Bai Lingling, who was outside the hall, heard this, her eyes were filled with shock. Is this Zhenguo Mansion going to fall apart?
Had her two months of hard work been in vain? Bai Lingling didn't believe it. She prepared a carriage and left the palace for the Zhenguo Mansion. Seeing that the Zhenguo Mansion was still safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything is fine in Zhenguo Mansion. If something happened, wouldn’t my two months of humility be in vain?
She went forward and knocked on the door, but it opened by itself. Bai Lingling looked around and saw that there was no one around. She walked into the general's mansion as if she was familiar with him. Instead of looking for Mo Yunqiu, she wandered around the mansion.
Compared with the imperial palace, the general's mansion is also very magnificent. The chairs are also made of pear wood, which is only one grade lower than sandalwood. Five night pearls are inlaid on the wall. Walking forward, you can even see the bamboo forest behind the lobby. Mo Yunqiu likes to practice sword in the bamboo forest the most.
Bai Lingling looked at the night pearl on the wall almost greedily, wanting to touch it.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Lingling jumped at the question and turned to Mo Yunqiu with a shudder, only to see that his eyes were full of disgust for her. Bai Lingling slowly approached Mo Yunqiu and said with a smile, "I heard something happened in Zhenguo Mansion, so I came to see if you are okay."
With a flash of her eyes, Bai Lingling saw the slap mark on Mo Yunqiu's face. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but Mo Yunqiu quickly dodged it.
Bai Lingling suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said dryly, "Mr. Mo, there's no need to hide from me like that. I just wanted to see the red mark on your face."
Mo Yunqiu glanced at her and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Princess. I am fine. Please return, Princess."
Bai Lingling saw this ungrateful look and she suppressed her anger as she handed the ointment in her hand to Mo Yunqiu.
"Okay, since Mr. Mo doesn't accept it, can you accept this ointment..."
Her tone was full of grievance, and she looked at Mo Yunqiu with red eyes. Mo Yunqiu, who couldn't stand seeing women crying, took the ointment from Bai Lingling's hand and turned away.
"I have accepted the ointment, Princess. Please return."
After Mo Yunqiu walked away, Bai Lingling's expression became ferocious. She stomped her feet and turned to leave. This scene happened to be seen by the housekeeper. The housekeeper frowned and shook his head with his eyes narrowed, then walked towards Mo Yunqiu.
"Young Master."
Mo Yunqiu turned around and saw the butler, and stepped forward to support him, "Grandpa Butler, I already told you that you don't need to bow."
The housekeeper's wrinkled face revealed a kind smile as he patted Mo Yunqiu's hand, which was supporting him. "Sir, please don't bother with that Sixth Princess. She's a dark and two-faced woman. Be careful, sir."
Mo Yunqiu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Grandpa Butler, Yunqiu knows what's going on."
…
It was already afternoon when Bai Jing learned about Bai Juncheng's situation. He hurried to Xuanzheng Hall, only to find Bai Jinjin chatting with Bai Juncheng. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Bai Jinjin always knew her limits.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
Bai Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her elder brother coming. She had hinted to Bai Juncheng many times, both overtly and covertly, but he was just angry. Bai Jinjin threw herself into Bai Jing's arms and whispered in his ear, "Brother, help me. I've been talking to father for a long time and he gets angry whenever he thinks about this."
Bai Jing patted her on the back without saying anything, but Bai Jinjin knew that Bai Jing knew it.
Seeing the brother and sister whispering to each other, Bai Juncheng snorted coldly. How could he not know what the brother and sister were discussing? "Jing'er, how come you have time to come see me? Aren't you studying at this time?"
Bai Jing put on a gentle smile and carefully placed Bai Jinjin on the ground. "I have heard a piece of news and have come to ask Father for confirmation."
The man said coldly, shaking his sleeves, "If you are asking about the Zhenguo Mansion, then it is true."
Bai Jing was unaware of the situation and was pulled aside by Bai Jinjin. She whispered in his ear and explained again, "The general failed at the border, and my father complained a few times in the court. Then Mo Yunqiu accused him of not providing timely supplies."
Bai Jing immediately understood that Bai Juncheng was scolded by the juniors in the court, so he was sent to the general's mansion.
"Father, although Mo Yunqiu acted rashly, what he said might not be false. Why are you so angry, Father?"
How could Bai Juncheng not understand such a simple truth? However, no one has ever dared to speak so rudely in all the years since he ascended the throne.
Seeing that Bai Juncheng seemed unmoved, Bai Jing rubbed his palm helplessly, "Father, I'm sure Jinjin has also explained the key points of this to you."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin nodded hurriedly and looked at Bai Juncheng a little aggrieved, "That's right, Daddy, Jinjin has already told you a lot."
"The Queen has arrived!"
Why did Shen Yue come at this time? Bai Jinjin's brows jumped. She had a bad feeling.
As expected, Shen Yue bowed to Bai Juncheng with a very gentle smile on her face, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Bai Juncheng nodded expressionlessly. Shen Yue turned around and took out a bowl of lotus seed soup from the food box held by the palace maid. "Your Majesty, these are the lotus seeds that I ordered someone to peel. Would you like to try them?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward to hand over the bowl. Bai Jinjin stepped forward and took it, looking at Shen Yue with a smile, "The Queen is really thoughtful. This bowl is not light. It's better for Jinjin to give it to Daddy."
She stepped forward to take the bowl, but Shen Yue dodged her and looked at Bai Jinjin with a fake smile, "Be careful not to burn the Ninth Princess, let me do it."
