"Brother Ye, you are so thoughtful." Bai Jinjin couldn't help but give Ye Jiuge a thumbs up, he is definitely a good family man.
As he said that, he poured the spices in Ye Jiuge's sachet into his own sachet. Bai Jinjin nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, Brother Ye, let's go to the ice rink. I also want to go ice skating!"
When Bai Yu saw the two men were about to come out, he immediately hid himself. However, the ground was slippery and Bai Yu accidentally fell to the ground.
When Bai Jinjin walked out of the palace gate, she saw Bai Yu lying on the ground and burst out laughing, "Second brother, what's going on with you?"
Seeing this, Bai Yu could only pretend that he had just arrived and said, "I want to go to your palace to get some more rare books. The ground here is too slippery."
"Why don't you just let Xiao Shunzi come and get the rare copy? Why do you have to come yourself?" Bai Jinjin said as she stepped forward and helped Bai Yu up.
Bai Yu patted the snow off his body and chuckled, "Okay, I understand. I'll go get the rare copy and go back now."
"Then second brother, do you want to go ice skating with Jinjin?" Bai Jinjin saw that Bai Yu made the invitation alone.
"No, I have something to do. Let's play together next time." Bai Yu patted Bai Jinjin's head and lowered her head to prevent her from seeing the complexity in his eyes.
Ye Jiuge, who was standing by, saw it clearly and stepped forward to hold Bai Jinjin back. "Alright, since the Second Prince still has things to do, let's not waste time."
After saying that, he pulled Bai Jinjin away from Bai Yu.
"Slow down, Brother Ye, my feet are slipping." Bai Jinjin was dragged far away by Ye Jiuge and shouted helplessly.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Jinjin with a complicated look, as if grateful and guilty.
Then he turned and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The head steward of the Imperial Household Department saw Bai Yu coming and hurried forward to greet him, "I wonder what brings you here, Second Prince?"
"Let me see what ingredients are in this spice." Bai Yu took off the sachet from his waist without saying a word and threw it to the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The head of the Internal Affairs Department summoned the palace servant who handled the spices and said, "Xiao Xiazi, take a look at what's wrong with this spice."
Xiao Xiazi sniffed the sachet in her hand, then opened it and took a look. "There's nothing wrong with this spice, but..."
"But what?" Bai Yu asked anxiously. Seeing Xiao Xiazi's hesitation, Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and tell me. This prince will forgive you!"
Xiao Xiazi then spoke hesitantly, "If this spice is used together with the Pear Warm Tent Fragrance, they will counteract each other. If this continues for a long time, it will make people sleepy, or even cause death."
Bai Yu's heart seemed to be twisted together. He looked at Xiao Xiazi with a glimmer of hope, "Is that the fragrance that Concubine Ye used the Pear Warm Tent Fragrance?"
"Second Prince, yes."
Xiao Xiazi's words made Bai Yu's heart sink to the bottom. It turned out that his mother wanted to kill Concubine Ye in this way, and he almost became an accomplice.
Bai Yu walked out of the Imperial Household Department in a trance. Looking at the vast expanse of white road, Bai Yu seemed to have lost the ability to think. Thinking that Bai Jinjin had generously forgiven her mother, he even worried that his self-esteem would be hurt.
Bai Yu even secretly turned off the spices, and he felt that he seemed to have committed a heinous crime.
Bai Yu clenched his fists, turned and walked towards Fengwei Palace.
Fengwei Palace.
Shen Yue learned that Concubine Ye had become increasingly sleepy in the past few days and laughed happily, "Sixth Princess, your method is really stealthy."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Lingling just made some harmless spices." Bai Lingling said as she sat aside and watched Shen Yue pruning the potted plants.
"Mother."
Bai Yu's voice appeared at the door without any fluctuation.
The sudden sound startled Shen Yue, and Bai Lingling also covered her mouth silently.
Shen Yue stood up and went forward to hold Bai Yu, "Yu'er, is there anything you want to say to your mother?"
"Mother, I accidentally lost my sachet. Can you give me another one?" Bai Yu said to Shen Yue as if nothing had happened.
Shen Yue felt relieved. She thought Bai Yu had heard the conversation between her and Bai Lingling, and looked at Bai Yu with a smile.
"So that's how it is. Mother will sew you a sachet in a few days."
"Yu'er, are you going to have lunch here?" Shen Yue asked in an inquiring tone.
Bai Yu responded, "Okay, I will accompany you to dinner."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue was delighted. Bai Yu had not come to accompany her for dinner for several days. Although Concubine Ye's plan went smoothly, she was still a little panicked.
Now that Bai Yu is still willing to have a meal with me, it’s still good.
Bai Yu originally wanted to confront Shen Yue after finishing his meal, but his temper just couldn't wait until the meal was over.
"Mother, why did you use the sachet to harm Concubine Ye?"
Seeing Bai Yu's calm face, Shen Yue felt that there was something wrong with her ears, and said with a stiff smile: "Yu'er, what are you talking about?"
"Mother, do you still want to quibble?" Bai Yu looked at Shen Yue with complicated eyes and sighed, "Mother, I have already checked. The spices you gave me are incompatible with the spices used in Concubine Ye's palace. You even hinted that I should give them to Bai Jinjin."
Chen Yue stood up angrily, "What do you mean by that? Have you been bewitched by Bai Jinjin?"
"Mother! You still don't admit it!" Bai Yu became agitated when he saw Shen Yue still didn't admit it. He stood up and walked to Shen Yue's side. "Are you still the mother I know?"
"You, you unfilial son!" Shen Yue was so offended by Bai Yu's rebuttal that she held onto the edge of the table, her vision going dark. "Everything I did was for you!"
"I don't need your help like this! Even if you, mother, are doing this for me, that's a human life!" Bai Yu roared, and his hand slipped, dropping the plate beside him to the ground.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Bai Lingling stood aside and didn't dare to move.
"Bai Jinjin has bewitched you, and you've been possessed by an evil spirit!" Shen Yue sat on the chair with weak legs, pointing at Bai Yu and said with gritted teeth.
"I knew that Bai Jinjin, this witch, would be a hindrance!" Shen Yue said to Bai Yu with a sinister look in her eyes.
After saying that, he stepped forward and shook Bai Yu's shoulders, "Give my Yu'er back to me!"
Bai Yu dodged Shen Yue's grip and said to her disappointedly, "Mother, I will never believe you again."
After saying that, he turned around and left Fengwei Palace in big strides.
Shen Yue sat down dejectedly on the chair and said calmly, "Look, how capable Bai Jinjin is. She even snatched my Yu'er away!"
These words reminded Bai Lingling that Bai Jinjin was different.
