Bai Jinjin left Fengwei Palace without any guilt. "Brother Ye, don't you think it's a bit cruel for me to let the Fourth Prince know Bai Lingling's true identity in advance?"
Ye Jiuge looked at the excitement in Bai Jinjin's eyes and shook his head helplessly, "I don't see any apology from you."
"Brother Ye, you don't have to say that out loud." Bai Jinjin glanced at Ye Jiuge in reproach.
…
Bai Yan noticed the bloodstains on the wall, and his throat was slightly moving. "Brother, look here."
Bai Jing, who was called over, also frowned when he saw this scene.
It seems that this matter is true.
"Fourth brother..." Bai Jing looked at Bai Hui, who had a complicated look in his eyes, and spoke worriedly.
Bai Hui closed his eyes and said, "I need to calm down."
Then he turned around and left.
"Give him some time." Bai Jing held down Bai Yan who wanted to comfort Bai Hui.
Bai Yu nodded, "The most urgent thing now is to tell Father."
"Third brother, you should go into the palace to stop Lingling from destroying the evidence." Bai Jing thought for a moment and said.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard this, "Then you two go tell Father."
After that, the three of them parted ways.
Bai Lingling was just about to hide the bloody clothes under the bed when Bai Yan pushed open the door.
"Third, why are you here, Third Brother?" Bai Lingling looked at Bai Yan with a stiff smile.
Bai Yan looked at the clothes under the bed and said, "So it was you who did it."
It is undeniable that he hoped that Bai Lingling had not done this.
After saying that, he stepped forward and snatched the clothes away.
"Lingling, it's time for you to atone for your sins." Bai Yan turned around and left the palace with his clothes.
Bai Lingling didn't expect that it would find her so soon, and she was not prepared at all.
Longqing Palace.
"Are you telling the truth?" Bai Juncheng slammed the table and looked at Bai Jing and the others with angry eyes.
"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive." Bai Yan came in from outside with clothes in his hands.
Looking at the blood-stained clothes, everything became clear.
"I think Bai Lingling is stubborn and dares to kill people in the palace!" Bai Juncheng's face turned red with anger.
Concubine Ye sighed, "Now what should we do with Bai Lingling?"
"Father, although Lingling has done something against the will of heaven and earth, I beg you to spare her life." Bai Hui asked with his head down, kneeling on the ground.
Bai Juncheng threw the thing at Bai Yan in a rage, "You rebellious son, this is a life, what did you do then!"
"Then beat her up and send her to the laundry department." Bai Jing spoke up to come to the rescue.
Concubine Ye patted Bai Juncheng's arm and said, "She is a princess after all, so let's save her life."
Seeing that Concubine Ye also pleaded for Bai Lingling, Bai Juncheng could only reluctantly issue the imperial decree.
By the time Bai Jinjin found out, it was already the next morning.
"Just demoted to the laundry department?" Bai Jinjin looked at Zi Ling in surprise.
Holy shit, it’s like that, it’s just a derogatory term for a palace maid?
Zi Ling nodded, "Yes and it was the Fourth Prince who begged for mercy."
"I'll go?" Bai Jinjin's face was filled with surprise. "Daddy actually agreed too?"
"The Queen also agreed." Zi Ling was also extremely confused. Logically speaking, the Queen shouldn't plead for Bai Lingling.
Bai Jinjin was confused. How could her cheap mother agree to this?
"Such a magical thing, I have to go and ask my mother in person." Bai Jinjin said to Zi Ling with a smile on her face.
Fengwei Palace is really unlucky, and Concubine Ye doesn't want to live where Shen Yue lived, so she still lives in Jinyuan Palace.
"Mother!" Bai Jinjin called out loudly as she walked into the palace.
Seeing this, the palace maid stepped forward and looked at Bai Jinjin expressionlessly, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, no noise is allowed in the palace."
"Are you sick? That's my mother." Bai Jinjin glared at the palace maid, pushed her away and walked into the palace.
When Concubine Ye heard the shouting, she knew that Bai Jinjin must have come because of what happened yesterday, but she was nowhere to be seen for a long time.
She then walked out of the palace, but she didn't expect that a palace maid would block her way.
"Lamei, what are you doing?" Concubine Ye frowned and walked forward to pull Bai Jinjin over.
Lamei still looked at Bai Jinjin expressionlessly. "My Lady, the red has faded and no noise is allowed."
"Jinjin is my daughter. How can you stop her from doing whatever she wants?" Concubine Ye looked at Lamei fiercely.
Bai Jinjin hid behind Concubine Ye, feeling very aggrieved. "Mother, how come you are worse than before after becoming the queen?"
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. The Queen is the mistress of the Central Palace. You can call her Empress Mother but you cannot call her Mother." La Mei reminded Bai Jinjin recklessly. There was even a flash of contempt in La Mei's eyes for this unruly princess.
This hint of contempt was clearly seen by Concubine Ye and the other two.
“Snap—”
The crisp sound echoed throughout Jinyuan Palace.
"Even the emperor has never mentioned the rules for my princess, and you, a servant, dare to say it so presumptuously." Concubine Ye could no longer control her temper.
Lamei didn't understand why she was being reprimanded even though she had clearly abided by the palace rules.
"But this palace rule cannot be abolished." La Mei still looked at Concubine Ye stubbornly.
Concubine Ye had never seen such a stubborn palace maid.
"Mother, why do I feel like this palace maid wasn't from your palace before?" Bai Jinjin asked.
At this point, Concubine Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes, "This is the maid sent by your father, how would I know."
"Why does this palace maid look so familiar to me?" Bai Jinjin murmured as she turned around towards Lamei.
Damn, she remembered who this person was. "Isn't this the maid in the previous queen's palace?"
"What?" Concubine Ye looked at Lamei in surprise.
La Mei didn't expect that there were so many people in the Queen's Palace, and Bai Jinjin actually remembered her as a palace maid.
"Mother, you'd better check if anything is missing from your palace." Bai Jinjin reminded.
She vaguely remembered that this palace maid was someone close to the queen.
"Someone, come and show me what I lost." Concubine Ye said without hesitation.
Soon the palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty, we have lost the Pisces and Mandarin Duck buckle and the White Jade Ruyi."
Lamei didn't expect that she would be found out. Her face turned pale. "My Lady, even if these things were lost, you can't say that I stole them."
"You have committed the above crime. How dare you stop the Ninth Princess from being expelled from Jinyuan Palace from now on." Concubine Ye looked at Lamei expressionlessly and said.
Bai Jinjin looked at Lamei proudly and said, "You little bastard, I'm asking you to use chicken feathers as a token of authority."
You are dumbfounded, you little piece of trash.
"Your Majesty, please spare me this time." La Mei was dragged out by two young eunuchs.
Concubine Ye took a deep breath and returned to the palace, "It's really hard to get used to being the queen."
"I didn't expect that we have to follow the rules when we come to my mother's palace now." Bai Jinjin said.
