Chapter 142 Locked



After returning to the palace, Bai Jinjin went straight to Jinyuan Palace. She wanted to tell Bai Juncheng the method she had thought of. Ye Jiuge stood there and watched her getting farther and farther away, until she disappeared from his sight and then turned and left.

"Mother! I have thought of a solution!" Bai Jinjin pushed open the door of Jinyuan Palace and rushed in, but saw no one.

When she wanted to push open the door of Concubine Ye's bedroom, she heard a gasp from inside. Bai Jinjin was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and she turned around and tiptoed out of Jinyuan Palace.

Fortunately, I didn’t push open the door, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing. I said, how could there be no one here? I returned to my bedroom with a blushing face.

Zi Ling was teaching the new maid the rules of Jinyuan Palace when she saw Bai Jinjin enter the palace with her head down. She approached with concern and asked, "Princess, what's wrong? Did Master Mo do something to you?"

Bai Jinjin shuddered when she heard someone calling her, then relaxed when she saw it was Zi Ling. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired after hanging out for too long today."

After saying that, he stretched and walked into his own bedroom. Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Is this something I can watch at my age?!

Zi Ling was left staring at her blankly outside the door. "Your Highness, you've come to the wrong place. Your bedroom is on the right."

The girl froze and she moved sideways into the room.

As night falls, only the moon is left to watch the ugliness of the world.

Bai Jing frowned as he looked at the information in his hand. This corrupt official was involved in too many cases. If he eradicated them all, there would probably be vacancies in the court.

"Zhao Li, come in."

Suddenly, a man in black landed on the ground. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"How's the Prime Minister's Mansion, which I asked you to investigate?"

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister's Mansion is unexpectedly heavily guarded, with men in black protecting it everywhere. If we rashly investigate, we're afraid we'll alert the enemy."

Bai Jing touched his chin. What on earth could have caused the Prime Minister's Mansion to be so heavily guarded that there were even men in black? Even the Prime Minister was only protected by thirty Jingwei soldiers at most. This man in black was definitely not his.

Unless he has a deal with someone and it's very important.

"You should step back first."

Zhao Li nodded and disappeared into the room.

"Who is guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is it for protection or surveillance?"

Surveillance? Bai Jing's face paled. Could it be that someone was monitoring the Prime Minister's Mansion? Instead of protecting it?

As if he had discovered some new information, Bai Jing wrote it down on the rice paper beside him.

A sleepless night.

It was almost noon when Bai Jinjin woke up from her bed. She got up, washed up, and went to Jinyuan Palace. She was careless yesterday! She wouldn't do that again today!

I quietly opened the palace gate and saw two palace maids standing at the door of the bedroom, so I could go in.

The girl then walked in with a swagger. Bai Juncheng and Concubine Ye were having a sweet breakfast. Bai Jinjin opened the door and walked in with a swagger.

"Dad, I've figured out a solution."

These sudden words made Bai Juncheng stunned. What problem could be solved?

Looking at his expression, Bai Jinjin knew he must have forgotten. "It's about making winter clothes for 100,000 soldiers!"

Bai Juncheng then remembered, "Is Jinjin so powerful?"

"Of course, if Dad agrees, Jinjin will definitely do it!"

Bai Juncheng didn't quite believe Bai Jinjin's words, but he wouldn't discourage her. "Since that's the case, I agree, Jinjin, you can do it!"

"Ahem, but before we do that, there's one very important thing." Bai Jinjin sat on the chair with a serious expression.

Bai Juncheng looked at her seriously with this expression, "What's going on with Jinjin?"

Bai Jinjin picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food, "Let me eat first, I haven't eaten yet."

Bai Juncheng couldn't help laughing at her, "Well, now you dare to tease your father?"

Bai Jinjin stuck out her tongue, puffed up her cheeks and chuckled, "When I woke up, it was almost noon."

"Then why didn't Jinjin come to have dinner with mother yesterday?" Concubine Ye asked a fatal question.

The girl swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Mother, when I came here yesterday, there was no one to watch over me, so I went back."

Bai Jinjin's reminder was already obvious. Concubine Ye immediately glared at Bai Juncheng. The latter did indeed chuckle and said happily to his daughter, "Well done. Next time if the situation is like this again, you have to go back directly. Do you understand?"

The girl nodded. Don't worry, she didn't want to see pornographic pictures.

The woman next to him punched Bai Juncheng and said, "What nonsense are you talking to the child about?"

"Don't worry, mother! Jinjin didn't hear anything!" What a trick of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. Looking at Bai Jinjin's innocent big eyes, Concubine Ye didn't know what to say.

Shen Yue looked at the green light of the authentic bracelet reflected in her eyes, making her look like a dissatisfied and greedy wolf.

"How's things going at the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Ruyi replied softly, "The Prime Minister has obtained a box of gold and silver."

Shen Yue nodded with satisfaction and put the jade bracelet on her hand.

Compared to the leisurely Shen Yue, Ruyi seemed a little worried, "Your Majesty, aren't you really worried that the Prime Minister will open his mouth and eat up all that gold and silver?"

"What are you afraid of? We're all on the same boat." Shen Yue picked up the Dongzhu beside her and slapped her. The pearl was white, but it was emitting a faint blue halo. "If he dares to take it for himself, we'll die together. What I can't get, no one else can get!"

Then he raised the Dongzhu in his hand and said with admiration, "Look, these are from the white clam shells of the East China Sea. There are so many defective ones, but these two are the best."

Ruyi looked up and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty's taste has always been the best. Only Your Majesty is worthy of this Dongzhu."

"Ruyi, this is why I kept you here. You always hit the nail on the head." Chen Yue generously handed the gold hairpin on the table to Ruyi. "This is for you. Don't underestimate it. The blue lines on it are made by grinding sapphire into powder and using the color of crystal. It is very precious."

Ruyi immediately knelt down in fear, "Your Majesty, this gift is too precious. I cannot accept it."

Shen Yue paused playing with the bracelet and glanced at Ruyi, "Just take it if I tell you to."

"Yes." Ruyi's eyes flashed with a dark light and she put away the golden hairpin in her hand with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Even when the second prince returned to his bedroom, he was busy with a brush inlaid with gold thread and placed it on his desk.
