Chapter Forty-Six: The Dispute

The matter of Chu Xuanling's jade pendant dragged on and on, and even Mu Qing wanted to ask Chu Xuanling in person where he put the jade pendant, why he had been looking for it for so long and still hadn't found it.

But remembering that he promised Bailichen some time ago, saying that he would never see Chu Xuanling again, he gave up.

In the end, I was still worried, and finally I had to send Xin'er to take a trip, and ask the little guy in the General's Mansion to go in and ask, what the situation is, and why the jade pendant hasn't been returned yet.

I didn't expect to meet the little guy who came to send the jade pendant before.

"Niangniang, the people from the General's Mansion said that this jade pendant was sent to the Three Princes' Mansion a month ago...... But Niangniang, the slave has never heard anyone talk about it. ”

Xin'er brought the news back with some doubts, and Mu Qing also felt a little strange, and didn't know what went wrong.

"I asked who the jade pendant I sent was?"

"I asked, and I said that it was handed over to a small servant, and I said that it was called Danqing, isn't this the little guy next to His Royal Highness."

Since it is a small servant next to the three princes, there is only one possible result now, that is, the jade pendant was taken by the third prince.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness suspects that you and General Chu have a ......?"

screamed, the cold sweat in his heart was frightened a little, and he regretted more and more that he didn't persuade Mu Qing to listen to his words and not to meet the general in private.

Now not only has it led to so many rumors, but it has also made His Royal Highness the Third Prince suspicious.

"Don't be suspicious, just ask and you'll know."

"Yes."

To be honest, Mu Qing was also a little apprehensive in his heart......

She didn't know what Bai Lichen meant and why she left the jade pendant with her.

Could it be that Xin'er said this, because he doubted that there was something between himself and Chu Xuanling, so he did this?

When she arrived at the door of the study, she hesitated, and finally let the little maid go in to report.

While she was waiting, Danqing was preparing to go in with a brand new snack.

"Danqing." She opened her mouth and called, "Did you receive a jade pendant from the General's Mansion a month ago?" ”

The tone was a little stern, although Danqing was a subordinate next to the three princes, but he also knew that the three imperial concubines in front of him were his own masters no matter what.

If you talk about it, you really did something wrong, so you immediately knelt on the ground.

"The Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang, it was the slave who did something wrong, this jade pendant is now with His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"Why?"

Her eyes were a little helpless and reproachful, and she was about to go up to help Danqing up, after all, the other party was also a member of the third prince, and she couldn't punish her at will.

Who knew that at this time, Bai Lichen just pushed the door out, and what he saw was Danqing kneeling on the ground, and his anger suddenly increased by three points.

"The people in my room are not the turn of the imperial concubine to discipline them."

After saying that, he stepped forward a few steps and helped Danqing up.

There was obvious anger in his tone, Danqing wanted to explain for Mu Qing, but he couldn't speak for a while, and could only watch the two of them tense up.

"What do you mean?" Mu Qing's eyes suddenly became a little stunned, "Let's not say that I didn't ask him to kneel, but I told him to kneel, in this house, in the end, I am the master, and I have not punished him, why are you so angry at me." ”

In Mu Qing's opinion, Bai Lichen's words are a bit unreasonable, no matter what, her current identity is the third imperial concubine, and she can be regarded as half of the master of this prince's mansion, can't she reprimand her subordinates a few words.

"Danqing grew up with me, for me, he is not my subordinate, besides, this matter is my meaning, it has nothing to do with him."

Because of the matter of the jade pendant, and seeing Mu Qing scolding Danqing for the jade pendant, Bai Lichen's tone suddenly became cold.

"You...... I understand what you mean, he's your person, and I'm just an irrelevant outsider. ”

Mu Qing is not a person who is easy to bully, she is polite to Bailichen on weekdays, because she feels that Bailichen is the third prince after all, and she should respect each other as the third princess.

This time about Chu Xuanling, although she didn't do anything to Chu Xuanling, she did go beyond the rules, so she thought she was at a loss, so she didn't say much.

But she didn't expect Bai Lichen to see herself like this.

"Okay, even if I have a lot of trouble, I didn't recognize my identity, but please return the jade pendant to me, and I won't care about anything about you from now on."

Bai Lichen's face was a little gloomy again, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

This is for a jade pendant, what does it mean to have a knife or two with him?

A sudden surge of anger surged in his heart, and Bai Lichen slammed the jade pendant in his hand to the ground, and the jade pendant cracked in response.

It was originally a piece of warm jade with excellent color, but I didn't expect it to fall here now and shatter into several pieces.

Mu Qing didn't have any feelings for this jade pendant, he just wanted to come back so as not to cause trouble.

But the feelings left by the original body made Mu Qing's heart suddenly feel a sharp pain, and tears fell like this.

Mu Qing couldn't control himself, and he didn't think about controlling it.

This is the normal reaction of being 'Mu Qing', isn't it? If she didn't have any expression at this time, it would make people suspicious.

After all, this is the last relic of the original mother's hard-working mother, the mother was separated from her mother's family and married to Master Mu, but she didn't expect to usher in such an ending in the end, so how could she feel uncomfortable in her heart.

"Xin'er, go."

She didn't look at Bailichen in front of her, and walked back with her heart.

Xin'er saw that the prince broke the jade pendant, and he was also a little resentful.

"This is, this is Madame's relic!"

"Heart!"

She still wanted to say something, Mu Qing's voice had already come, and she had no choice but to turn her head and follow Mu Qing away, thinking that the young lady must be very uncomfortable now.

"Your Royal Highness, you really misunderstood the Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang, it was the slave who took the initiative to kneel down and admit his mistake, Niangniang didn't scold me, just asked me if the jade pendant was in your hands."

Danqing looked at his master, and always felt a little incredible in his heart, his third highness has been very calm since he was a child, even when he was hunted down and poisoned, he never showed his emotions like today.

"Relic ......"

Bai Lichen reacted at this time, Danqing had already picked up the broken jade pendant and put it in his hand, the jade pendant had been cracked, but it could be seen that it had been some years.

Danqing had told him before that this might just be a relic, after all, Master Mu's original wife had passed away a long time ago.

I didn't expect it to be like this......

"It's me who is a little impulsive......" Rubbing his forehead, Bai Lichen's face finally relaxed, and he didn't understand why he was so angry.

"You go to find the best jade carving master, and you must repair the jade pendant, understand?"

"Yes." After Danqing received the jade pendant, he left the prince's mansion and went to find a familiar craftsman, but Bai Lichen didn't know what to do.

If he is asked to deal with political affairs and deal with those things that are vying for power and profit, he will be more proficient, but he really doesn't know what to do when he encounters this kind of thing.

asked someone to send a lot of treasures over, but Mu Qing uncharacteristically returned all of them and didn't accept any of them.

"Niangniang said, this jade pendant is a relic of her mother, although the value may not be as good as these treasures, but it is the last thought left to her by her mother, and please don't have to continue to send it over."

It was Mama Chen who came out, she grew up watching Mu Qing, and before the current Liu family came, she was also the person next to the original wife, and she also had some resentment about His Royal Highness doing this.

There was also a bit of indifference between the words.

The little guys who came to deliver the things had to send them back to Bailichen, and then told him that the imperial concubine would not accept these things, so that he didn't have to continue to send them.

"Third brother, isn't it, you really provoked people?"

Baili Hong snapped and closed the fan, revealing an incredible expression on his face.

The third brother and that Mu Qing actually quarreled, how could this be?

In Bai Lihong's opinion, his third brother is quite good to this woman who has become his concubine, and he also knows Mu Qing's character, which is not bad.

The only reason for two people to quarrel......

"Is it General Chu's business?"

Bai Lihong saw it thoroughly, and even enlightened his third brother with a few words.

"If you want me to say, third brother, you just care too much about this matter......" Halfway through his words, he received Bai Lichen's eyes, he was a little weak-hearted, and quickly changed his words.

"I mean, third brother, you are too suspicious of the third sister-in-law, in my opinion, the third sister-in-law is not this kind of person, even if the two of them may have something in the past, but now she is your imperial concubine, and she really hasn't done anything wrong......"

What Bai Lihong said was not wrong, he was actually clear in his heart.

But the matter has been done, and he really can't pull his face to apologize to Mu Qing.

"Third brother, I really misjudged you."

"Tell me about how you have been able to bend and compromise in the face of the prince for so many years, how can you face the third sister-in-law but ......"

Bai Lihong couldn't think of a word for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, so he simply flicked his sleeves and left, and when he left, he snorted coldly at his third brother quite boldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"What happened to the jade pendant that I ordered you to repair before, but there are results."

Bai Lichen shook his head, and then set his eyes on Danqing's body.

"It should be good, Master Chen is a quick man, and he has always done things quickly."

"In that case, you can take that jade pendant back in a while, send it to the third imperial concubine, and then bring those gifts again."

Danqing hesitated for a while, but finally dared to speak.

"Your Highness, it's better for you to deliver it yourself...... Now the Third Imperial Concubine must be annoyed by your attitude, as long as you go to send the jade pendant in person, she will definitely not continue to be angry with you. ”

Bai Lichen frowned, and his mind crossed the appearance of Tianmu Qing's eyes full of tears.
