Bai Xingyan had hope inexplicably, but as soon as this hope rose, the old lady poured a basin of cold water, and there was no flame left--"Xingyan, you are a smart person, I don't need to say some things too clearly. Which one is more important to the Queen Mother or the Tenth Prince, you can weigh it yourself!"

The old lady turned around and left, leaving Bai Xingyan, who was left in the same place, was stunned. Hong came forward to pick him up and said, "Master, I will help you to the flower hall, eat something, and you will have to... go to the palace to apologize!"

Bai Xingyan was shocked and asked subconsciously: "What did the old lady say just now?"

As a concubine, Hong said something a little hard to say, so Bai Heran took it over: "Grandmother meant that the empress dowager was not as powerful as the tenth prince, and it was useless for the second wife to ask the empress dowager."

"you--"

"What am I?" She smiled brighter, "Don't forget what you left before the Tenth Highness left. What kind of life will you live in this mansion in the future? What kind of life will you live in the court. I would like to advise you to be upright and be kind to your own children. Just accumulate virtue for yourself."

Bai Xingyan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't care about being angry with Bai Heran at home. He had to eat quickly, eat more, eat enough, and then go to the palace to apologize to the emperor, and also apologize to Jiang Yue.

He was so angry! Because of a eunuch, the hereditary Duke of Wen Guo ended up like this, and he had to apologize to the eunuch. Is there any difference between Dong Qin? It's a joke to tell it.

But thinking about this, he knew that this was definitely not a joke. The eunuch Jiang Yue has never been an ordinary eunuch. The current emperor's love for him has reached a point where both humans and gods are angry. Many times, people even have an illusion that Jiang Yue is not a eunuch at all, but the eleventh prince of the Dongqin generation.

Some people once suspected Jiang Yue's true identity, and some even asked and investigated secretly whether Jiang Yue was a real eunuch. However, many facts have proved that Jiang Yue is indeed a rootless person and a real eunuch.

This matter became a private unsolved case for the Eastern Qin Dynasty ministers. Now Ye has offended the unsolved case, so his husband, life and death have become a unsolved case.

Bai Xingyan felt very distressed.

After a full meal, Bai Xingyan entered the palace and knelt honestly at the entrance of the Qingming Palace.

But Emperor Tianhe was not in the Qingming Hall at this moment. The two princes, Jun Muchu and Jun Mulin, as well as the eunuch Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was still frustrated, with an unhappy look on his face. Jun Mulin advised him: "Aren't I venting my anger for you? Look at Duke Wen, who is still kneeling outside. He will have to kneel as long as you want him to kneel. If you don't have enough, go out and scold him. With Brother Jiu and I here to support you, he dare not retaliate."

The ninth prince Jun Muchu looked at his younger brother, and his face was as serious as the King of Hell was full of helplessness. "In order to support women, you are really making a lot of money. I heard that even the five-colored glazed tiles in the palace were brought to Duke Wen's mansion."

Jun Mulin smiled so hard that his eyes were curved, "In addition to glazed tiles, there are also golden nanmu."

"What?" Jun Muchu's nose was almost irritated, "You carried the golden nanmu wood used in Mingluan Palace to Bai's house?"

"ah!"

"You..." Jun Muchu was speechless, "What's the point of asking you?"

Jiang Yue finished the attack on the side: "Not only five-color glass and golden nanmu, he also plundered most of the medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital, all of which were treasures. He took away three of the old ginseng that had lasted thousands of years."

"Which group are you from?" Jun Mulin was so angry that he slapped Jiang Yue in the head, "I cried attentively, why do you have it everywhere? Isn't it just a few broken ginseng? Is there anything I feel sorry for? Besides, I'm not only for my woman, but also for Brother Jiu's woman!"

"Wait a minute." Jun Muchu felt something was wrong, "What are you talking about? Who is the woman?"

"You woman."

"Where did this king get the woman?"

"I've found it for you!" Jun Mulin smiled so hard, "Brother Jiu, what do you think of the fourth lady of the Bai family?"

"The fourth lady of the Bai family?" A little girl suddenly appeared in Jun Muchu's mind. She wore plain white clothes like Bai Heran at Ye's birthday party, and she looked like mourning clothes. She couldn't help but feel shocked, "Old Stealth, can you do some serious things? If you really have nothing to do, just go to the Hall of Hell with me to do an errand."

"No! Why am I not serious anymore? There are so many disobedient little bastards on the frontier who are waiting for me to take them one by one. How serious. Oh, Brother Jiu, go to war with me. Let's work together to choose two bullies to fight."

Jiang Yue couldn't bear to listen anymore, "Are you two here to comfort me or to squeeze me? I am a eunuch. I can't marry a wife in my life and have children. What do you two want to do when you talk to me? The Bai family bullies me, and you two bully me, and will you let people live?"

Jun Muchu felt uncomfortable after hearing this, so he reached out and pressed Jiang Yue's shoulder, "It's my brother and you are wrong. You shouldn't have said these things in front of you. Xiao Eleven, please make an idea about this matter. Duke Wen is still kneeling outside!"

Jiang Yue sniffed, "What's my point? I'm not trying to support the tenth brother. If it weren't for him, I would be afraid of the second wife of the Bai family? Isn't it the niece of the empress dowager? What's so great about it? The palace is not from their Ye family."

"That's right!" Jun Mulin slapped the table violently, "I'll tell you, Xiao Shiyi, you have to remember how much hardships you have suffered and how many grievances you have suffered from childhood. Just attack these things, if the woman in the Bai family dares to criticize you, she should die! She dares to challenge you and show you the face, that is to slap me and your ninth brother in the face, and slap my father in the face. We will never end with her!"

The ninth prince sighed, "I'll challenge a woman and make more money."

"Brother Jiu, you're wrong. That's not an ordinary woman. That's the Ye family, the niece of the Defu Palace. She represents not herself, but the Ye family and the Guo family behind her. Of course, the Bai family doesn't count. Besides—" someone curled his lips, "I can't challenge women, not angry with women, and I can't bother with women, and I can't mess with women. Who makes me unhappy? I care about men and women, and I'll beat him up."

Jiang Yue clenched his fist and said, "Yes!"

The ninth prince sighed again, "Xiao Eleven, isn't it good to be a king? I'll share the house and set up a mansion to enjoy it. This is all brothers can do for you."

Jiang Yue shook his head violently, "I don't, you can pass on your family line to be the king. What can I do? Anyway, this is already like this. I want to spend more time with my father and be more filial. Whether or not you are a king has no meaning to me. Besides, the country will not fall into the hands of others in the future. No matter who you two can take, you can't treat me badly. I'm not afraid."

Even if Jun Mulin said this, he couldn't laugh, "Forget it, it's up to you. Don't worry, with your ninth brother and your tenth brother, no one can bully you."

Defu Palace

The old lady has not been in good health these days. She has been coughing since the New Year, but has not been able to recover until now.

Ye had just cried here. When Quan Yan sent Ye out of the palace and came back, he saw the old lady sitting in front of a bronze mirror, looking at her old face carefully.

This face looks very similar to Ye's. Although it is covered with wrinkles, it can still be seen that the beautiful appearance of the Ye woman.

Seeing Quan Yan come back, the old empress sighed and said to the bronze mirror: "The daughters of the Ye family are all beautiful. When the Ai family was young, the late emperor once said that I was the most beautiful among all his concubines. When the late emperor was alive, the Ai family lived a good life. The entire harem, even the former queen of the past, did not dare to show the Ai family face, but why did it become like this now? Cough cough..."

As she spoke, she coughed again. Quan Yan quickly stepped forward to help Shunbi, and then advised: "The Queen Mother wants to be more open. You are not bad now. The Emperor has given you the Queen Mother's Lord. Even the Queen wants to salute you!"

"That's different." The old lady stopped coughing and waved her hand and said, "They were all courtesy, for outsiders to see, but in fact, they didn't care about the mother of Ai's family in their hearts. After all, they were not biological, and they didn't have that affection." As she said that, she looked at the mirror again and raised her hand to groping her old face, "I'm old, I can't see what she looks like, when I was young..."

"The Queen Mother, don't think about the past. We have to look forward, the nephew's wife..."

"My Rouer is living a hard life!" When the old lady mentioned Ye, the old lady wiped her tears. "When she was born, Ai's family had already entered the palace. The Ye family sent someone to the palace to report the good news, saying that she had given birth to a beautiful little girl, and her eldest brother named Zhinan, the nickname Rouer. I said at that time that Zhinan sounded too tough and Rouer was too soft, how could she use such two names on one person? But the eldest brother didn't listen to me and insisted on choosing this. As a result, she met that person and devoted all her tenderness to her, giving birth to children for her. Especially the daughter she gave birth to was so beautiful that she was so jealous of the world."

Quan Yan quickly echoed: "Yes, Miss Jinghong is really so beautiful."

"Like that person." The old empress dowager snorted coldly for a lifetime, "That person was confused by Rou'er's eyes with such an unparalleled appearance, making her willingly abandon everything and follow him. What's the result? Humph, it's better not to mention it. Rou'er was sad and left, and finally got rid of the word "Rou" and his temperament began to look like the name Zhinan. The Ai family was very happy. This is the daughter of my Ye family. She must know that she is from the Ye family. If she encounters something, only the Ye family can protect her."

"Will the Empress Dowager protect her nephew for this matter?" Quan Yan asked tentatively, thought for a while, and then said, "I heard that the emperor wants to recognize that Eunuch Jiang as his adopted son, but I heard that it is not guaranteed at the moment."

"What?" the old empress dowager was furious, "Are he crazy to recognize the eunuch as his son?"

As he was speaking, he heard a palace servant outside the door rumored to the news - "The emperor is here!"
