Bai Jinjin felt that these were all excuses. She was really so greedy.
Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin's tearful expression and just smiled and ignored her.
Here, the Fourth Prince returned to Concubine Rou Lin Huirou's palace, controlled the time and sat on a chair waiting.
His mother is the daughter of the current Prime Minister Lin Junyin, but his mother never cares about these trivial matters in the palace. Now he can only find a way to make his mother take action.
He pretended to be frustrated and said to the palace maid beside him: "Alas, the hostages from the neighboring country are too arrogant. Our Qin is a big country and we should be more tolerant."
The palace maid also cooperated and said, "Your Highness, please don't be sad."
The Fourth Prince said, "How can I not be sad? A hostage from a neighboring country actually dislocated Her Royal Highness's hand. What should I do?"
Concubine Rou, who happened to have returned from the Buddhist temple, heard her son's words and learned what had happened today.
Although Concubine Rou was a virtuous woman, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when her son was being bullied while she still had to consider the country.
The Fourth Prince pretended not to notice Concubine Rou and said to the maid, "Thank you very much for listening to me. Please don't tell my mother about this, and don't let her hear it."
Then he turned around and looked at Concubine Rou in surprise, pretending to be calm and smiling, and said, "Mother, did you just come back from the Buddhist temple?"
Concubine Rou nodded gently.
The Fourth Prince continued, "It's been a while since I've had a meal with Mother. Shall we have dinner together today?"
When Concubine Rou saw how filial her son was, wrinkles began to appear on her smiling face.
"Okay, okay, mother hasn't seen Hui'er for a long time, and mother misses you very much."
At the dinner table.
The Fourth Prince personally served dishes to Concubine Rou, all of which were Concubine Rou’s favorites.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince hadn't rested since the dishes were served, Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Alright Hui'er, Mother knows you are filial. Let the palace maids serve the dishes. You deserve to eat a little."
The Fourth Prince sat down upon hearing this and replied with a smile, "Son, remember these dishes are Mother's favorites, so of course I'll give them all to Mother."
The mother and son had a warm dinner. Of course, Concubine Rou was eating very warmly and had no idea of her son's little thoughts.
After the Fourth Prince left, Concubine Rou suppressed her smile and said to the palace maid who had spoken to the Fourth Prince earlier, "What did the Fourth Prince say to you?"
The palace maid told Concubine Rou everything. After knowing everything, Concubine Rou frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows.
"I never thought that a mere hostage from a neighboring country would dare to act so arrogantly on Qin's soil?"
Then she thought for a while, went to the study, picked up paper and pen, and prepared to write a letter to her father, Prime Minister Lin.
Just as Concubine Rou's letter was being sent out of the palace, a dark shadow quietly left from the roof.
The black shadow stopped directly at the Fourth Prince's residence, and then flashed into the Fourth Prince's bedroom.
The Fourth Prince heard from the black shadow that his mother had sent a letter back to her mother's home.
The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile, and his originally handsome face looked very strange because of this smile.
"Okay, now that the most important thing is done, let's wait quietly for news."
But the black shadow also said that the man in black who was following Bai Jinjin and Ye Jiuge was dealt with by Ye Jiuge.
The Fourth Prince said that this was normal and he let the men in black follow them just to give it a try.
"Has the body been brought back?"
The shadow shook his head and said, "I didn't see his body. When I arrived, there was nothing left."
The Fourth Prince was startled. Who else in this huge palace could have a man in black? Why didn't he know this?
Then he looked at the black shadow angrily.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the palace's movements? Is this what you're doing?"
The shadowy figure lowered his head and said, "I don't know, but the secret guards guarding His Highness Bai Jinjin have all been killed."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince became even angrier and threw the teacup to the ground.
"When did this happen?! If I tell you to mutate, tell me what you are doing!"
The black shadow trembled and said, "Your Highness, I wanted to report to you yesterday, but I couldn't find the right time to appear before you."
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince calmed down. He really had no time to ask the black shadow about some things because Bai Lingling was busy these days.
He waved his hand and let the shadow retreat. He sat alone at the desk, thinking.
If the fourth prince wanted Ye Jiuge to die, a letter from home was definitely not enough. He thought of the hostage who had promised him a competition during the autumn hunt.
So it is normal for some mistakes to occur during the competition, leading to death, right?
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince's smile became strange. He didn't know what the other three princes were thinking.
But, in this life, he not only wants to protect Bai Lingling, but also the throne of the Great Qin Empire!
…
In Ye Jiuge's palace, a man in black dragged back the person that Ye Jiuge had hit with a stone, and found the fourth prince's jade pendant on his body after searching it.
Ye Jiuge raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It seems that this unknown Fourth Prince is the smartest one among the four princes."
The man in black didn't speak, he knew Ye Jiuge didn't need his response.
Ye Jiuge suddenly remembered the several gazes he received when he went to Bai Jinjin's palace for breakfast.
"Have you found out who the black-clad man watching Bai Jinjin's palace belongs to?"
The man in black replied, "He is still the Fourth Prince's man, and tonight the Fourth Prince persuaded his mother to write a letter to his mother's family."
Ye Jiuge asked calmly, "Oh? What does the Fourth Prince want to do?"
The man in black said without hesitation, "He complained to Prime Minister Lin that you bullied the prince."
Ye Jiuge laughed. He had thought that the Fourth Prince was a smart man, but he didn't expect that he would mobilize such a large force just because of that stupid woman Bai Lingling.
Ye Jiuge thought of Bai Jinjin and asked the man in black.
"What would happen if the little kid knew that the Fourth Prince actually used the power of Lin Huirou's family to punish me?"
The man in black still didn't speak.
Ye Jiuge thought of Bai Jinjin's furious expression and said, "I'm afraid the little kid would be furious if he knew I was sanctioned."
It was obvious that Ye Jiuge was not at all nervous about the fact that he would be sanctioned, and he even took it to heart.
Seeing the man in black still there, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you leave?"
The man in black blushed and asked, "Director, do you have any other instructions?"
Ye Jiuge was about to say something when the words came to his lips.
"Is there any news from Fuyuan General's Mansion?"
The man in black shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen anything unusual, but the general's son, Lin Shuzhan, has been staring at the jade pendant on his waist."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuge's face turned dark.
