"Everyone, look carefully. What's the difference between these hairpins?" Bai Jinjin held a hairpin in each hand and glanced at the two hairpins. "The one my mother is wearing was given to her by my father, so there is a small character "Mother" on the tip of the hairpin."
"Then there is the letter. It is impossible for a letter to be fake." Concubine Rou said with a turn of her eyes.
Bai Jinjin snorted coldly, "On the day the Queen was murdered, my mother went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives."
After these words were spoken, the people around no longer believed Concubine Rou's words, and Bai Juncheng also looked at Concubine Rou coldly.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Rou helplessly and said, "Concubine Rou, at this point, you should stop dwelling on this matter and stop making random suspicions."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Concubine Rou couldn't help but pursed her lips, "Yes, I understand."
"Empress Rou, you'd better continue to turn a deaf ear to what's happening outside the window in the future, otherwise all you will hear are rumors that are spread by word of mouth." Bai Juncheng looked at Concubine Rou and snorted coldly.
"I understand." Concubine Rou suppressed her anger and said calmly.
Bai Juncheng took Concubine Ye's hand and was about to turn around and leave.
"Since Concubine Ye has returned home to visit her family, I believe Ye Chengxie must be here too, right?" Concubine Rou said softly.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ye glanced at Concubine Rou, "What do you mean by that, Concubine Rou?"
"I have no ill intentions. I am just concerned about whether Your Majesty is avoiding suspicion with Ye Chengxie in the Ye family."
These words caught Bai Juncheng's attention and immediately ignited a layer of anger in his heart.
"I am already the emperor's concubine, so naturally I have to avoid suspicion." Concubine Ye said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rou walked to the opposite side of Concubine Ye and smiled happily, "Ye Chengxie said he wanted to marry Concubine Ye when he was a child. I guess Concubine Ye went back this time to see Lin Chengxie, right?"
Bai Jinjin was a little confused, this was not in the plot.
"Empress Rou, please be careful with your words. I wonder what your meaning is in mentioning this matter today?" Concubine Ye frowned when she heard Concubine Rou's incoherent words.
But to Bai Juncheng, it seemed like Concubine Rou was uncomfortable because she mentioned Lin Chengxie.
"What? Can't I listen to this?" Bai Juncheng snorted coldly.
Concubine Ye looked at Bai Juncheng, who suddenly felt awkward, and asked, "I've told you about this before, why can't you listen to it?"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned Lin Chengxie." Concubine Rou bowed apologetically.
There is no reason for children to interrupt when their parents are arguing. Bai Jinjin could only watch as the two of them became more and more arrogant.
"So the reason you came home to visit your parents this time is because of Ye Chengxie!" Bai Juncheng said to Concubine Ye with a frown on his face.
Concubine Ye's temper was also ignited. "What do you mean by this? My father is old. Is it not possible for me to go back and see him?"
"Then can't you avoid Ye Chengxie?" Bai Juncheng whispered while pulling Concubine Ye's arm.
Bai Jinjin wanted to stop the two people from arguing, but she didn't know where to start.
"Should I avoid him if I see him at the Ye family?" Concubine Ye said angrily to the unreasonable Bai Juncheng.
"Don't you know what he has in mind for you?" Bai Juncheng stood with his hands behind his back angrily, turned around and stopped looking at Concubine Ye.
Concubine Ye snorted coldly, "I'm just going home to visit my parents for a few days. How do you know whether Ye Chengxie has come back or not?"
Hearing this, Bai Juncheng was like an enraged lion, "So you really met with Ye Chengxie alone!"
The man's eyes, which had originally been filled with tenderness towards Concubine Ye, were now filled with rage, which made Concubine Ye feel extremely unbalanced. "I said no, and that's it. If you don't believe me, I won't believe you even if I talk you to death!"
Seeing that she was really angry, Bai Juncheng felt a little depressed, but he still insisted on his point, "I don't care whether Ye Chengxie returned to the Ye family or not. I just want to know whether you met him or not!"
"If you believed me, you would ask such a question!" Concubine Ye was so angry that her chest ached. She covered her chest with her hands and gritted her teeth, "I have nothing more to say!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Bai Jinjin felt sorry for Concubine Ye as she watched her leave. "Dad, I don't know who that Lin Chengxie is, but Mom and Dad have been together for so many years. Can't you really trust her?"
The girl looked at Bai Juncheng disappointedly as he trotted towards Concubine Ye. "Mother, wait for Jinjin!"
Bai Juncheng was left standing there, staring blankly at Concubine Ye leaving.
Concubine Rou looked at her success with satisfaction and walked towards Bai Juncheng gently, "Your Majesty, I am truly sorry. I said something wrong and caused you and Concubine Ye to quarrel."
"If Concubine Rou has nothing to do, please go back first." Bai Juncheng lost interest and turned away.
When everyone saw that the show was over, they dispersed.
"This play is really wonderful." Hupin said with a smile covering her mouth.
Concubine Hui also curled her lips, "Yes, I'm afraid Concubine Ye's good days are over."
"I'm afraid the spring breeze in the palace has blown to Concubine Rou?" Concubine Hu turned her head and said.
"Since you already know, there's no need to say it out loud," Concubine Hui said, gently pushing Concubine Hu.
Hupin then covered her mouth and looked around, "Thanks to my sister for reminding me, otherwise I would have been in trouble today."
On the other side, Bai Jinjin followed Concubine Ye back to Jinyuan Palace, "Mother, are you okay?"
Concubine Ye took a deep breath, took a sip of tea and said, "Mother is fine."
Bai Jinjin's brows twitched fiercely. Is it really okay for you to have such a bold attitude?
"You don't have to look at my mother like that. She's really fine." Concubine Ye chuckled when she saw Bai Jinjin still looking at her worriedly.
Then she sat down at the desk and looked at the Phoenix Seal. The anger that had faded in Concubine Ye's heart rose again, "Come here, return this Phoenix Seal to the Emperor. I don't want it anymore!"
The maid at the door looked at Bai Jinjin for help, but Bai Jinjin shrugged to indicate that she could do nothing.
"What are you looking at the Ninth Princess for? Didn't you hear me calling you?" Concubine Ye shouted angrily when she saw the maid staring at Bai Jinjin.
The maidservant was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward, took the phoenix seal and walked out.
"Mother, you said you were not angry." Bai Jinjin stepped forward and hugged Concubine Ye's waist and said.
Concubine Ye sighed, "I never thought that your father would get so angry with me because of Concubine Rou's unfounded remarks, and even called me 'Zhen'!"
No wonder Concubine Ye was so angry. Bai Juncheng had promised her that as long as she was around, he would never call himself "I", at least not to her.
This was Bai Jinjin's first time dealing with her parents' emotional issues, and it was unexpectedly difficult, and she didn't know what to say.
