The eldest prince felt relieved when he heard Bai Juncheng's punishment. It was just house arrest, but he still regretted helping Bai Lingling. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been under house arrest. After all, he was the one who did the wrong thing first.
Bai Lingling was listening at the side and naturally heard about the eldest prince being under house arrest. She knew that the eldest prince was disappointed in her and did not dare to look at him at all. She did not want to see the eldest prince's eyes. It didn't matter. If the eldest prince was gone, she still had other brothers.
But Bai Lingling didn't think that her brothers had already seen and even heard what Bai Lingling said, so how could they still treat her the same way as before.
Seeing that Bai Juncheng seemed to want to continue investigating, Bai Lingling didn't dare to talk to the eldest prince. She was afraid of getting into trouble, so she had to draw a clear line between herself and the eldest prince.
When the eldest prince saw Bai Lingling's expression, there was some mockery in his eyes. This was his beloved sister, and he must have been blind before.
Bai Jinjin looked at the eldest prince with some worry. Although she was disappointed with these brothers, they were still her brothers after all. How could she really hold a grudge against them?
What's more, she knew that her brothers treated Bai Lingling like this because it was because of Bai Lingling that they were spared from beheading and were able to live on in their previous life.
The eldest prince looked at his brothers again. When the third prince saw the eldest prince looking at him, he touched his nose and lowered his head feeling guilty.
This matter is of great importance and I cannot be implicated in it. I'm sorry, brother.
The Fourth Prince also received the First Prince's gaze, but like the Third Prince, he didn't dare to look at him at all.
The eldest prince felt a little bit of irony in his heart. Look, these are his brothers and sisters, and their family affection seems so insignificant.
But when he looked forward, he saw Bai Jinjin who was sitting next to him looking at him with a worried look. The eldest prince was a little surprised that among so many people's ridicule and questioning, he would actually receive one person's concern.
The eldest prince felt a little warm in his heart. It turned out that there were still people who cared about him in this huge palace.
Seeing that the eldest prince had stopped everything, the second prince wanted to speak up to defend the eldest prince, but when the queen saw that the second prince was about to speak, she hurriedly grabbed him, and the second prince was a little confused.
"Mother, why are you pulling me here? My eldest brother has been wrongly accused."
The queen slapped the second prince in annoyance.
"You've done enough today. Just listen to your mother and be quiet."
Although the second prince did not understand, he saw that the queen seemed a little angry, so he obediently stopped talking and let the queen pull him behind Bai Juncheng.
The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her son stayed away from this matter, everything would have nothing to do with her, including whether Bai Lingling was there.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Bai Juncheng waved his hand, took Bai Jinjin's hand and said, "The matter has come to an end. I have also explained to the generals guarding the country. Everyone, please leave."
Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and just as everyone was about to leave.
"Wait."
Everyone froze. It's not over yet?!
Bai Juncheng glanced at the imperial physician who was about to leave.
"Drag this imperial physician out and behead him!"
The imperial physician looked at Bai Juncheng in horror.
"Your Majesty! You said you would let me go if I told you everything."
Bai Juncheng glanced at the imperial physician indifferently and said, "That's what I said, but it was the Sixth Princess who said it, not you."
Hearing this, the imperial physician looked at Bai Lingling with resentment, and rushed forward without caring about the people around him and strangled Bai Lingling's neck.
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I would still be the most respected doctor in the Imperial Hospital! It's all your fault!"
Bai Lingling started rolling her eyes as the imperial physician pinched her, and she weakly slapped the imperial physician in front of her.
Bai Juncheng watched for a while before letting the guards drag the imperial physician out. Only then did Bai Lingling breathe a sigh of relief and lay on the ground gasping for breath.
The imperial physician stared at Bai Lingling viciously before leaving.
"Bai Lingling, you! Shall not die a good death!"
The queen was also frightened by what was happening before her eyes. Seeing that Bai Lingling was not implicated, and since she was the one who adopted her, she quickly asked Ruyi to help Bai Lingling up.
"Lingling, are you okay? Quickly take the Sixth Princess downstairs and have her change into clean clothes."
Before Bai Lingling could recover from the feeling of suffocation, Ruyi half-forced her to be pulled up and taken away.
Finally the matter was resolved.
Bai Jinjin was pulled out by Bai Juncheng.
"Daddy, Jinjin wants to change her clothes."
Bai Juncheng then remembered that his precious daughter was still wearing the clothes she wore when she fought, so he quickly asked Zi Ling to take Bai Jinjin back to change her clothes.
After changing clothes, Bai Jinjin received the news that Ye Jiuge had been released. Bai Jinjin was originally going to Jinyuan Palace, but she turned around and ran to the south.
Ye Jiuge was finally released. He returned to the hall, changed his clothes and just sat down on a chair.
The door was opened with a bang. Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge who was sitting on the chair with surprise, and rushed forward to throw herself into Ye Jiuge's arms.
Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin in confusion, then he thought of something and a smile appeared on his lips, and he hugged Bai Jinjin with his arms slightly tighter.
Bai Jinjin couldn't help but burst into tears in Ye Jiuge's arms. Although Bai Juncheng explained to her that imprisoning Ye Jiuge was only a temporary measure, she was still worried about Ye Jiuge after not seeing him for so long.
Ye Jiuge felt the wetness in his arms and pulled Bai Jinjin out of his arms. Seeing that Bai Jinjin's eyes were red like a little rabbit, a warm current seemed to flow through his heart and he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Bai Jinjin's eyes.
"What's wrong? You're crying so ugly."
After saying that, he chuckled.
Bai Jinjin was so angry that she hit Ye Jiuge when she saw that he was crying because he was worried about her and that she thought her crying was ugly.
"Whose fault is it that I'm like this? Did I want to cry? How dare you call me ugly?"
After saying that, he folded his arms angrily and sat on a chair beside him.
Seeing the little girl's red lips pouted high in anger, Ye Jiuge suppressed the smile in his eyes and coaxed Bai Jinjin softly.
"Okay, Jinjin, I just got out of jail. Are you here to see me or to get angry with me?"
When Bai Jinjin heard this, she glanced at Ye Jiuge reluctantly and her pupils shrank. She hadn't looked carefully when she came in just now, and she didn't care to be angry when she saw that Ye Jiuge had bruises on his face.
He reached out his hands and cupped Ye Jiuge's face, asking seriously, "What's wrong with your face? Is someone in prison trying to embarrass you?"
Ye Jiuge called the little girl with a serious expression, chuckled and took Bai Jinjin's hand away.
"I'm fine. The jailer has been very polite to me. It's all thanks to you."
