Su Yinling watched Feng Fuce do nothing as he stood by, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she gritted her teeth.
She knelt on the ground, holding Grandpa Su in her arms, helplessly shedding tears: "Dad, don’t scare ."
Grandpa Su was convulsing, his eyes tightly shut, his face flushed.
Just as Su Yinling was at a loss, he quietly opened a sliver of his eyes.
"Miss Ling, quickly check if there’s anyone to help us!" Grandpa Su asked urgently in a low voice.
Su Yinling was stunned and only then realized he was pretending.
But when she turned her head, the gates of the imperial palace were already tightly closed.
Not even the eunuchs were there, and even the Imperial Guard at the gate wore expressions of cold indifference, not looking their way.
They had no intention of intervening at all.
Su Yinling swallowed her bitter tears.
"Dad, forget it, let’s leave here first so we don’t beco a laughingstock for those passing by."
Grandpa Su finally stopped convulsing.
However, before Su Yinling could help him up, a carriage approached from afar and stopped beside them.
A familiar voice called out: "Yinling? How could it be you?"
Su Yinling’s whole body trembled. She looked up through her tears and saw the familiar face of Prince Rui, Bai Dongxiao, and she burst into tears.
"Dongxiao, Brother Lie drove my father and out, wuwu..." she sobbed as she wiped her tears.
Bai Dongxiao was utterly shocked.
He had heard that the Su father and daughter had been taken into the palace by Bai Xilie to treat Grandpa Su.
Bai Dongxiao rembered his past relationship with Su Yinling and had expressed a desire to visit.
But he was harshly scolded by Bai Xilie before he could say much.
"Big Brother, at this ti, and you’re still thinking of eting her? Whenever you et her, you lose your mind. I will never allow what happened before to happen again."
Bai Xilie had squashed his idea.
Today, he had originally co to pay his respects.
By chance, he encountered Su Yinling and her father, sitting dejectedly outside the palace.
Bai Dongxiao looked at Su Yinling in surprise: "What on earth happened? How could my second brother drive you away?"
Just as he finished speaking, Grandpa Su began convulsing again, and Su Yinling scread in fear: "Dad! Are you okay?"
Bai Dongxiao was alard: "Quickly, lift him onto the carriage and take him to my Imperial Mansion for treatnt."
anwhile.
Bai Xilie had just comforted Bai Zhi’er when Feng Fuce returned to report.
Thus, Bai Zhi’er blinked her big, red eyes from crying and said, "Papa, you should see Brother Fuce first, state affairs are important."
Bai Xilie felt compassion for his daughter’s understanding.
He raised his hand and patted the little one’s head: "Zhi’er, stay in Ruizhu Palace, have sothing to eat, and rest for a while."
"Wait until Papa finishes discussing business and cos back to play with you, we won’t go anywhere."
Bai Zhi’er nodded obediently.
Bai Xilie finally left at ease and instructed Qingi to take good care of the princess.
However, the little one blinked and said, "Sister Qingi, I want to go out for a walk."
Qingi hurriedly stepped forward: "I will help you change your clothes."
At that mont, remorse filled her heart.
If only she had not let down her guard against Su Yinling.
Today, the little princess said she wanted to dine at Xinyu Palace. Thinking nothing would happen, Qingi did not follow along.
Instead, she stayed in Ruizhu Palace to help Bai Zhi’er display her calligraphy practice.
But when Bai Xilie returned holding Bai Zhi’er with her eyes red from crying, Qingi was heartbroken.
Only then did she realize that the Su father and daughter had shown their true colors and bullied the princess!
Qingi carefully attended to Bai Zhi’er’s emotions, and seeing the little one’s cheeks flushed from crying, she silently sighed.
