Chapter 171 Loss of Dignity



Shen Yue's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment, but Bai Juncheng had already placed the evidence in front of her, and now she had nothing to say. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Bai Juncheng stood up and walked in front of Shen Yue, looking down at her, "I have known for a long time that you, the Prime Minister, were colluding with them, but I was busy with border affairs. Now that the general is about to return to the capital, I should settle accounts with you!"

"You are the queen. I established you in the beginning, so I won't kill you today." Bai Juncheng looked at Shen Yue with deep eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Then, from today on, the queen will be imprisoned in Fengwei Palace. No one can release her without my permission!"

Shen Yue fainted on the spot when she heard the result.

Bai Juncheng and others left Fengwei Palace without even looking at them.

"Your Majesty, since the Empress's issue has been resolved, what about the Prime Minister?" Bai Jing asked after a moment of hesitation.

"I will draft an imperial decree to dismiss the Prime Minister from office, demote him to a commoner, and collect all his property into the national treasury." Bai Juncheng replied in a low voice.

At this time, a small figure came running from a distance. Ye Jiuge couldn't help laughing and said, "It's broken."

Before Bai Jing and the other person could react, the little person in front of them ran over, staggered a little, and rejected Ye Jiuge's hand that wanted to hold her.

Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Jing and the others with resentment, "Why didn't you take me with you?"

"That's because you haven't woken up yet. You're still growing, and sleep is very important." Bai Jing has now learned to lie without thinking, and said seriously to Bai Jinjin.

"Brother, do you think I will believe you?" Bai Jinjin bent her hands towards Bai Jing, smiled and pounced on him, scratching Bai Jing's itch.

"Haha, Jinjin, ha, it's really itchy, stop it." Bai Jing was caught off guard and thrown into Bai Jinjin's arms. He had to hold back his laughter while grabbing Bai Jinjin's restless little hand.

Bai Jinjin didn't get angry after being caught, she just pouted and said, "Then next time there's a situation like this, you must take me with you. I must go."

Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin with some jealousy and pulled her over. "You should just be your little princess and don't worry about this kind of thing."

Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Jinjin kindly from the side, stepped forward and touched Bai Jinjin's head, "Your elder brother is right, this is indeed not something you can participate in, and I didn't agree to your participation in this matter."

Bai Jinjin, feeling somewhat guilty in front of Bai Juncheng, could only grumble quietly, causing Bai Juncheng to burst out laughing and flick her head with his finger, "You're still not convinced."

Bai Jinjin, in pain, looked at Bai Juncheng with dead eyes, "Daddy, you're done. I'm going to tell Mom that you actually hit my head."

After saying that, she turned around and ran a long way. Bai Juncheng wanted to reach out and grab Bai Jinjin, but he didn't expect her to run so fast. He wanted to chase her, but he noticed that Bai Jing and Ye Jiuge were staring at him, so he could only walk past her.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what a tactless bunch of people they are.

Bai Jing knew that Bai Juncheng was extremely henpecked because of his fondness for Concubine Ye, so he coughed lightly and said, "Young Master Ye, come with me to enjoy the flowers."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Jiuge away from Bai Juncheng's sight.

After they walked a distance, they looked back and saw Bai Juncheng running out.

puff

Bai Jing couldn't help laughing out loud.

Even Ye Jiuge couldn't help laughing when he turned around and saw it.

Then they both stopped smiling and returned to the palace.

Bai Jinjin jogged all the way to Jinyuan Palace, and was about to push the door open when she was stopped by a pair of large hands. Bai Jinjin looked up and saw Bai Juncheng running towards her, panting, with his court robes askew.

Bai Jinjin finally couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Hahaha, Daddy, are you okay?"

Seeing Bai Jinjin still looking at him with great joy, Bai Juncheng sighed softly and pushed open the palace door, "Madam, I'm here."

Concubine Ye in the room heard the sound, stood up and looked outside. She saw Bai Jinjin squatting on the ground with a smile. She walked forward helplessly and pulled Bai Jinjin up, "Jinjin, what are you doing?"

Seeing Concubine Ye asking, Bai Juncheng immediately covered Bai Jinjin's mouth, and said, "It's okay, it's just that my court dress was crooked, and Jinjin laughed."

The girl glanced at Bai Juncheng, and there was a hint of nervousness in the man's eyes. Bai Jinjin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go this time."

Seeing her nod, Bai Juncheng let go of her hand and held Concubine Ye's hand, "Madam, it's freezing outside now, let's go inside quickly."

Bai Jinjin's nose was red from the cold. "Mom, let's go in quickly. Jinjin is cold too."

Concubine Ye broke free from Bai Juncheng's hand and held Bai Jinjin's hand, "Why is it so cold? Come in with mother."

Bai Juncheng, who was behind, was so upset that tears were about to come out of his eyes. He followed the mother and daughter into the palace.

"Mom, I haven't had breakfast yet." Bai Jinjin's body warmed up and she began to feel hungry.

The woman quickly called the palace maids and asked them to prepare food.

"Why did you two come so early today?" Concubine Ye looked at them in confusion.

Bai Juncheng chuckled and looked at Concubine Ye and said, "We have evidence of the Queen's corruption today. Has the Queen admitted it?"

Hearing this, Concubine Ye was also very happy, "What about the Prime Minister?"

"Prime Minister, you are dismissed from your official position, demoted to a commoner, and your property is added to the national treasury." Bai Juncheng announced the punishment for the Prime Minister.

Bai Jinjin nodded in satisfaction. For a man like the Prime Minister, it would be better for him to watch his property disappear than to let him die.

"When does Daddy plan to issue the decree?" Bai Jinjin asked Bai Juncheng who was eating buns.

"You naughty girl, can't you wait until your father finishes eating before drafting the imperial edict?" Bai Juncheng was choked and said after taking a mouthful of porridge.

Bai Jinjin chuckled and said nothing.

The news of the queen's imprisonment has been widely spread in the palace, and even Bai Yu has been implicated.

When Bai Yu came out of the school and returned to the palace, he learned that his mother had been imprisoned. He was immediately relieved. It was just imprisonment, and there was no other loss.

"Have you heard? The Queen has been imprisoned by the Emperor for corruption."

The maid rolled her eyes at her and said, "This news has spread throughout the palace since early this morning."

"Do you think the Second Prince will be like this in the future?"

"It's hard to say. Although the Second Prince has a bit of a temper but doesn't have any bad intentions, there's no guarantee he won't end up like the Empress in the future."

After hearing these rumors, Bai Yu's mood suddenly became depressed and he walked past the two palace maids.

The two palace maids were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground and trembled.
