Shen Yue's figure froze, and she stood up dryly, "I have lost my manners, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Bai Juncheng snorted coldly and threw the puppet in his hand to the ground, "Whose palace was this puppet found in?"
The guard stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, this doll was found in the room of a maid named Linglong."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue unexpectedly stopped Concubine Ye, but met Concubine Ye's playful eyes and secretly clenched her fists.
"Queen, you must keep an eye on your palace servants. I leave this maid to you. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
Bai Juncheng stared at Chen Yue with deep eyes and a barely audible gloating tone in his voice.
"Yes, I will definitely give an explanation to the emperor and my sisters." Shen Yue could only grit her teeth and accept the imperial edict.
Bai Juncheng nodded in satisfaction.
"That's great."
The man stepped forward and took hold of Concubine Ye. "I will dine in your palace today. I hope the Queen will not disturb my interest."
You are such a nasty woman. You always come to me for no reason. I can't even get along well with my dear wife!
Shen Yue responded with a sullen face and watched Bai Juncheng and Concubine Ye leave.
"Your Majesty, how would you like to deal with this maid?" Lin Huirou, though well-read, had no tolerance for witchcraft. "Why don't you ask Your Majesty to resolve this matter in front of all the sisters?"
Shen Yue, who had been strung up, had no choice but to beat Ling Long to death with a stick to put an end to the matter.
Everyone dispersed, but the rumor soon spread throughout the palace and finally reached Bai Jinjin's ears.
Bai Jinjin wanted to give herself a big thumbs up for her alertness yesterday. "How could such a thing happen? How is Bai Lingling?"
"I heard that the Sixth Princess woke up after the doll was burned." Zi Ling patted her chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked her to inspect the palace that day.
Seeing Zi Ling's lingering fear, Bai Jinjin chuckled, "Zi Ling, why do you look like that?"
"If this thing appeared in Her Royal Highness's palace today, the consequences can be imagined. The Queen will definitely use it as an excuse to make trouble."
Seeing Bai Jinjin so calm and composed, Zi Ling couldn't help but feel excited and her voice suddenly became louder.
Seeing this, Bai Jinjin got out of bed and put on her clothes.
"Zi Ling, I'm going to Brother Ye's palace today, so please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to tell the doctor to deliver the medicine directly to Brother Ye's palace."
After saying that, he put on his cloak and ran out.
"Your Highness! The imperial physician said you can't get out of bed!" Zi Ling followed Bai Jinjin from behind, but her physical strength was not as good as Bai Jinjin's, so she stopped chasing after a while.
Bai Jinjin, who had been lying in bed all day, finally came out and pushed open the door to Ye Jiuge's palace. "Brother Ye! I'm here to see you!"
Ye Jiuge, who was decocting medicine for Bai Jinjin, thought he was hallucinating when he heard her voice, so he shook his head and continued decocting the medicine. It had only been a day, but he already missed her calling him by his side.
Bai Jinjin stood behind Ye Jiuge and poked him on the back angrily, "Brother Ye, why are you ignoring me when I'm talking to you?"
"Jinjin? Why are you here?" Ye Jiuge turned around and looked at her in surprise, "How can you come out when you're still sick?"
Bai Jinjin chuckled and turned around, "Look, Brother Ye, I'm wearing very warm clothes, so I'll be fine. I just feel uncomfortable in the bedroom."
Hearing this, Ye Jiuge shook his head helplessly and pushed her shoulders, "Go in quickly, I'll go in after I boil the medicine."
"Then I'll go in and wait for Brother Ye." Bai Jinjin skipped into the hall and looked at Qingfeng and Lou Jingyue in surprise.
"Qingfeng? Why are you here at this hour?"
Qingfeng turned his head and looked at Bai Jinjin and said jokingly, "Ninth Princess, even merchants have time to rest, right? I think I need a break too."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin scratched her head embarrassedly, "I'm just anxious, these things are very important."
Lou Jingyue chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, the Ninth Princess is a patient now and will be forgiven for anything she does."
Ye Jiuge came in with the medicine and looked at Bai Jinjin's embarrassed look after being teased. He chuckled, "Stop teasing her. She finally came out today. Please be understanding."
"I'm going to check out the factory this afternoon." Bai Jinjin drank the medicine generously.
Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin disapprovingly, "You've only just gotten a little better today. I don't agree with you going."
The autumn wind blew gently, and the yellowed leaves hung precariously on the branches. In the end, Ye Jiuge couldn't resist Bai Jinjin's coquettish offensive and agreed.
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Jinjin was very excited. She hadn't gone out for a whole day and had been feeling suffocated in the palace.
"How come as a princess you always yearn for the common people?" Qingfeng leaned aside and looked at Bai Jinjin puzzledly.
Bai Jinjin snorted softly, "Of course I yearn for it. It's full of the atmosphere of fireworks, and I can participate in a festival with many people. How wonderful."
Bai Jinjin sighed and said, "If only I were a commoner."
Qingfeng got to know Bai Jinjin again at this time. "I thought you really liked being a princess. Isn't it nice to have everything you want?"
"Of course this kind of life is good, but as long as there is enough money, isn't it okay?" Bai Jinjin answered Qingfeng's question seriously.
It was the first time that Lou Jingyue heard such remarks and burst out laughing, "I didn't expect our Jinjin's wish to be so simple."
Bai Jinjin looked at Lou Jingyue in shock, "Sister Lou, do you really think this kind of life is easy?"
"Isn't this kind of life the simplest?" Qingfeng pinched Bai Jinjin's little face and responded in a nonchalant manner.
Hearing this, Ye Jiuge glanced at Bai Jinjin and said, "You are a young girl, but it is really hard to get what you want."
"Of course. We all have to have some goals in life." Bai Jinjin proudly put her hands on her waist.
"Whoa!" The driver stopped the carriage, turned around and lifted the curtain, "Everyone, we have arrived in the capital."
Bai Jinjin jumped out of the car first, "I'm finally out!"
Watching Bai Jinjin running off into the distance, Qingfeng murmured to himself in confusion, "That's not where the factory is, is it?"
"You are wrong to think that she will go to the factory first. She will buy candied haws first, then sugar-roasted chestnuts, and finally sugar men." Ye Jiuge, who already knew Bai Jinjin very well, calmly said what she would eat.
Sure enough, Bai Jinjin ran back with the three things Ye Jiuge mentioned.
