Bai Yu felt warm in his heart when he saw Bai Jinjin defending him, but he recalled how he had treated Bai Jinjin in the past.
He felt even more guilty. Bai Yu never thought that Bai Jinjin would forgive his past mistakes and help him clear himself.
"Jinjin, I'm sorry." Bai Yu gently grabbed Bai Jinjin's arm and said softly.
Of course Bai Jinjin knew what Bai Yu was talking about. She didn't say anything, but just turned around and smiled at him.
Seeing this, Bai Lingling could only try her best to exaggerate Shen Yue's misery.
"Empress, she has fainted. Please, Queen Mother, have mercy on her and go see her."
"Yes, Grandma, even if the Queen made a big mistake, she is still the mother of a country." The third prince also began to speak for Shen Yue.
The Fourth Prince also stepped forward and bowed, "Yes, Grandmother, the Empress has fainted and I'm afraid there's no Imperial Physician to treat her. Let's go see her."
The Queen Mother was a little hesitant. She watched Bai Juncheng choose Shen Yue as the queen, and she didn't expect her to do such a thing. However, thinking of how she had been filial to her in previous years, she agreed to Bai Lingling.
"Okay, then I'll go see the Queen."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Bai Lingling looked at the Queen Mother in surprise and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"
After saying this, he bowed to the Queen Mother.
"In that case, Lingling will take her leave first."
Seeing the Queen Mother nod, Bai Lingling ran away without looking back.
Bai Jinjin chuckled. Is he going back to tell the Queen to be prepared?
"Okay, in that case, I'll go see the Queen." The Queen Mother stood up, and Bai Jinjin supported the Queen Mother.
On the other side, Bai Lingling quickly ran back to Shen Yue's palace and frowned when she saw Shen Yue with a rosy face.
"I have already persuaded the Queen Mother. She will come to your palace soon. How can you hide your rosy complexion from her?"
Shen Yue smiled softly, "You'll know when the Queen comes."
Seeing this, Bai Lingling could only stand aside and wait for the Queen Mother to come.
Soon, the eunuchs outside were heard shouting.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Suddenly, Bai Lingling's eyes turned red and she looked at Shen Yue on the bed with a worried look on her face.
When the Queen Mother came in, Shen Yue's face immediately turned pale.
The Queen Mother took a few steps forward and sat beside the bed. "Queen, how do you feel now?"
Shen Yue on the bed pretended to have just woken up, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes, and asked softly, "Mother, why are you here?"
He then made a move to stand up and salute the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother held his shoulders and pushed him back.
"Queen, don't bow at this time." The Queen Mother touched her hand worriedly.
But he found that Shen Yue's hands were cold.
"Why are your hands so cold? It's winter now. Didn't those servants prepare a charcoal brazier for you?"
The Queen Mother looked into the hall as she spoke, and sure enough, there was not a single charcoal brazier to be seen.
Seeing that the Queen Mother wanted to make the decision for her, Shen Yue grabbed the Queen Mother with her hand.
"Your Highness, it was I who asked the servants to take the charcoal basin away, so please don't blame those servants."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother patted her hands distressedly and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"I have done something wrong, so naturally I must be punished." Shen Yue's lips curled up into a faint smile, making her look pitiful.
As expected, the Queen Mother had softened her heart. She turned to Nanny Zhu and said, "Go and invite the Emperor."
Nanny Zhu understood and bowed, and I went to invite Bai Juncheng.
Shen Yue lowered her eyes slightly, covering the gleam in them, and said weakly: "Mother, even if the emperor comes, the result will still be the same, nothing will change."
"Queen, I will try my best to help you with this matter." The Queen Mother touched Shen Yue's slightly thin face with heartache and said.
Bai Juncheng was playing chess with Ye Hui in Jinyuan Palace when Nanny Zhu suddenly arrived and said that the Queen Mother invited him to Fengwei Palace.
Bai Juncheng snorted coldly, took Concubine Ye by the hand and said to Nanny Zhu, "Nanny, please go back and tell my mother that I will be there later."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhu nodded and turned back to report.
"Why is the Queen Mother in Fengwei Palace?" Concubine Ye straightened Bai Juncheng's clothes in confusion.
"I guess the Queen said something that made my mother go to Fengwei Palace to speak for her." Bai Juncheng knew without a doubt that it was because Chen Yue had done something.
Concubine Ye was a little worried. "In that case, you can just go alone. What's the point of me going with you?"
"I probably know what Shen Yue is thinking, but I need your help." Bai Juncheng held Concubine Ye's hand and left Jinyuan Palace.
…
"The Emperor is proud! Concubine Ye has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin turned her head to look at the door. Bai Juncheng looked at the empress dowager with a serious expression.
"My son has met his mother."
The Empress Dowager saw Bai Juncheng coming and nodded, "Emperor, do you think it would be possible to release the Empress from confinement?"
Bai Juncheng snorted coldly, "Mother, do you know what mistake the Queen made? How can I forgive her?"
"No matter what the reason is, she is the mother of the Qin State. How can it be that the mother of a country is imprisoned in the deep palace now?" The queen mother also frowned.
"If I release her, how can I face those soldiers who fought for Qin and how can I face the people of Qin?"
Bai Juncheng almost shouted these words.
The Queen Mother stepped forward and looked at Bai Juncheng with a firm gaze, "Your Majesty, are you saying that even if I, the Queen Mother, beg you, you will not agree?"
Hearing this, Bai Juncheng turned around impatiently and said.
"The Queen and the Prime Minister embezzled military funds, which is also the reason for the failure of the previous wars! So much gold and silver was sent out, and they were all pocketed by the Prime Minister and the Queen."
Bai Jinjin also supported the Queen Mother and said coquettishly, "Grandma, although the Queen is now imprisoned, she is still the Queen, and the world does not know what happened. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Little kid, don't worry about this matter." The third prince pulled Bai Jinjin aside and said.
"Emperor, the Queen has fainted today. I think it's better to forget about this matter." The Queen Mother still wanted Bai Juncheng to bypass Chen Yue this time.
Seeing that he couldn't explain himself clearly, Bai Juncheng was so angry that he turned his head away and stopped looking at the empress dowager.
"I will not be involved in this matter anymore. I will leave it entirely to Noble Concubine Ye to handle. I hope that Queen Mother will not say anything about letting the Queen go."
Shen Yue, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt something was wrong. Concubine Ye would definitely not miss this opportunity.
Facts proved that Shen Yue was right, and Concubine Ye already had some plans in mind.
"Yes, I obey your order." Concubine Ye replied with her head down.
