When Bai Jinjin heard this, she immediately understood that she was being bullied in prison after all.
Ye Jiuge saw the dark circles under Bai Jinjin's eyes and gently covered them with his fingers.
"Didn't you get enough rest these days?"
When Bai Jinjin heard Ye Jiuge asking her, she touched her face, which seemed to have become a little rough, and she put down her hand in a desperate manner.
"Yeah, I haven't slept since you were put in jail. I've been looking for evidence. It's really pitiful that I stay up all night looking for evidence and still get told that I look ugly when I cry."
Ye Jiuge felt a little sad when he heard the first part, but suddenly burst out laughing when he heard the second part.
"You, how come you still remember what I said."
Bai Jinjin clenched her fists and pouted, saying, "That girl wants to be told she's ugly."
Hearing this, Ye Jiuge smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Jinjin is the prettiest."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin raised her head proudly.
"That's more like it."
The two were chatting at the same time for the first time in a long time, when suddenly Bai Jinjin's stomach growled.
Bai Jinjin was really disappointed with her stomach for failing to keep up at the critical moment, even though she had just eaten lotus root powder and osmanthus cake!
Ye Jiuge was already used to Bai Jinjin's behavior, so he immediately asked someone to go to the small kitchen to prepare food.
"Didn't you have lunch? Why are you so hungry?"
Bai Jinjin looked at the somewhat serious Ye Jiuge and muttered, "I haven't eaten for two days. I just had some lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, and nothing else."
Ye Jiuge was a martial artist, and he heard all the mutterings.
Looking at Bai Jinjin's haggard appearance with heartache, Ye Jiuge's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.
"What's with the cuts on your face? And the bruises on your neck?"
When Bai Jinjin saw Ye Jiuge asking about her wound, Bai Jinjin remembered the scene of her fight with Bai Lingling, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud. Bai Lingling looked so embarrassed, it was so satisfying!
Seeing Bai Jinjin's expression, Ye Jiuge thought that she was unwilling to speak. It seemed that Bai Jinjin had also been bullied while he was in prison.
Bai Jinjin came back to her senses and saw Ye Jiuge's expression. Her heart skipped a beat and she grabbed Ye Jiuge's hand.
"Brother Ye, this happened during a fight with Bai Lingling."
When Ye Jiuge heard Bai Lingling tell him in person, the expression on his face eased a little.
"Why did you get into a fight with Bai Lingling?"
Bai Jinjin explained, "I didn't want her to rush over with the hairpin, but she didn't end up having a good ending."
Ye Jiuge felt helpless when he saw Bai Jinjin's smug look.
"What else can I say? No matter how badly she was injured, judging by the bruises on your neck, you were almost strangled to death."
Seeing that Ye Jiuge was still going to bring up this matter, Bai Jinjin exaggeratedly covered her stomach and said, "Oh my, I'm so hungry. I'm starving to death. When will we have dinner?"
Seeing Bai Jinjin's clumsy way of changing the subject, Ye Jiuge could only give up.
"Have some snacks first and wait."
As he said this, he handed the osmanthus cake in his hand to Bai Jinjin, and also handed the milk tea that was cooling on the side to Bai Jinjin. Originally, he didn't know why he didn't drink milk tea, but he still cooled a cup. He didn't expect that it was prepared for Bai Jinjin.
Bai Jinjin looked at the milk tea in the cup with some surprise. Ye Jiuge never drinks milk tea, so why does he want to drink it today?
When Ye Jiuge saw Bai Jinjin's expression, he knew what she was thinking.
"Stop guessing, this is milk tea prepared for you."
Bai Jinjin was even more surprised. How did he know he would come? Could it be that they had a telepathic connection?
Ye Jiuge said like a worm in Bai Jinjin's stomach: "Yes, I guessed you would come, so drink it quickly."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin's eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
At this time, the maid came over and said, "Your Highness, Master Ye is ready to eat."
Bai Jinjin stood up and ran towards the dining table. Seeing this, Ye Jiuge could only follow her with a smile.
The scene at the dinner table can be described as a feast. Bai Jinjin held a chicken leg in her left hand and chopsticks in her right hand, with her cheeks stuffed so full that she looked like a hamster.
Ye Jiuge was not very hungry, so he held his cheek and watched Bai Jinjin eating like a hamster. When he saw the rice grains at the corner of Bai Jinjin's mouth, he reached out and took them away.
Bai Jinjin, who was enjoying her meal, felt someone touching the corner of her mouth. She looked up and saw Ye Jiuge wiping the corner of his mouth.
The fair little face turned red in an instant. Seeing this, Ye Jiuge thought that Bai Jinjin had a fever because she didn't get enough rest, so he wiped it with his hand and placed it on Bai Jinjin's forehead.
Seeing this, Bai Jinjin slapped Ye Jiuge's hand away and said, "I'm fine. I was just anxious to eat."
Hearing this, Ye Jiuge felt relieved.
At night, Bai Jinjin lay on the bed and sighed comfortably. Ah, it had been two days. These two days were simply a nightmare. It was so difficult. Fortunately, this matter had passed and Ye Jiuge was released.
Unable to control his tired body, he closed his eyes. After a while, a long breathing sound was heard. The window was suddenly opened, and the visitor gently climbed in from the window.
Walking to Bai Jinjin's bed, the moonlight illuminated the tall figure in front. Looking at the girl's quiet sleeping face, his slender fingers gently stroked the dark circles under Bai Jinjin's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Jinjin..."
Bai Jinjin's sudden movement scared the young man in front of her so much that he froze. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Jinjin groan and turn over. He chuckled and turned to leave the room.
The next day.
Bai Jinjin slept until noon before waking up. She stretched comfortably, then sat up and let the maid toss and turn her face, and a delicate white ball emerged from the oven.
Bai Jinjin skipped and danced towards Ye Jiuge's bedroom, intending to have lunch with him. After this incident, Bai Jinjin clearly felt that the distance between herself and Ye Jiuge had shortened a lot.
On the other side, Bai Lingling was hesitating in the bedroom. Although the eldest prince had stopped everything this time, if she went to visit the eldest prince, Bai Juncheng's anger would inevitably burn herself.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the words she said in the hall might have disappointed the eldest prince. She didn't want to see the expression of the eldest prince looking at her, the disappointment in his eyes.
The third prince was dining with the empress dowager in her palace. He did not say a word about what happened in the hall. The empress dowager looked at the third prince, shook her head and said nothing.
The second prince wanted to go see the eldest prince but was stopped by the queen.
"Yu'er, since things got so serious yesterday, please be quiet today, Yu'er."
The second prince gave up after hearing what the queen said.
