It was already the next morning when Yun Qingjie returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion with Bai Yue wrapped in a cloak. When he saw Butler Zhou coming towards him in a hurry, he threw the washboard in his hand to him.

"Old Zhou, from now on, this thing will be the 'treasure of our palace.' You must protect it well and make sure nothing happens to it! Also, quickly gather everyone in the palace to the training ground. I have something important to tell them!"

"As you command, my Lord!"

Steward Zhou looked at Yun Qingjie's cheerful face, then at Bai Yue sleeping soundly in his arms, and immediately realized that his prince had finally coaxed the princess back.

Therefore, he did not dare to delay at all, and holding the "treasure of the town", he went to gather people at a brisk pace.

Soon, the training ground was crowded with people. Yun Qingjie hugged Bai Yue tightly in his arms, his eyes swept across the entire field, his voice as loud as a bell.

"Listen carefully, the one in my arms will be your backbone from now on! If you dare to make the princess frown..."

"Oh? What are you going to do if you make me unhappy?"

Bai Yue in Yun Qingjie's arms suddenly opened her eyes and asked in confusion.

"Then I, as their master, can only take the blame for them and find ways to make my dear princess happy!"

A doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned close to the other's ear and whispered in a gentle voice that only she could hear.

"...To be honest, I think living outside the palace is actually quite comfortable..."

As soon as Bai Yue said this, Yun Qingjie hurriedly shouted to Butler Zhou.

"Old Zhou, quickly send the treasure of the palace to my room. I still need to be on good terms with the princess..."

Before he could finish his words, a woman's cry, as if her throat had been ripped by the wind, pierced the air sharply:

"Your Majesty, you can't drive me away! Yingran, I haven't done anything wrong, how can you treat me like this!"

"Chen Yingran?"

Bai Yue was just about to turn her head to see what was going on, but Yun Qingjie was quick-witted and wrapped her up like a dumpling with a cloak.

"Your Highness, it was clearly that vicious woman who started it, so why did she kick me out of the house in the end?"

At this moment, Chen Yingran no longer had the slightest bit of her usual gentle and lovely demeanor. Her eyes were red, and if several servants hadn't stopped her, she would have pounced on Yun Qingjie.

"Old Zhou, what do you think of her? Why did you let her come here and make trouble?"

Yun Qingjie barraged Housekeeper Zhou with questions.

"Your Highness, please calm down. It was my negligence that caused you trouble!"

Butler Zhou glared fiercely at the servants who came to guard Chen Yingran, guessing in his heart that they must have received some kind of bribe to dare to let this girl out to make trouble.

"Chen Yingran, you whipped an innocent child for your own selfish desires. I should have divorced you, a vicious woman like you, but considering that I agreed to our marriage out of anger, I am divorcing you so that you can find a good family in the future..."

As soon as Yun Qingjie finished speaking, the other party said in disbelief.

"Your Highness, what child? He's just a servant, a mere dog of our Prince Cheng's mansion!"

"Shut up! You keep calling yourself gentle and virtuous, but don't you understand that even servants in this mansion are flesh and blood, born and raised by their parents. How can their dignity be trampled upon like this?"

"Dignity? Humph, those servants are born with lowly lives. Even if I humiliate them, what will happen?"

The gentle mask on Chen Yingran's face shattered in an instant. She put on a rude and unreasonable look and sneered at Yun Qingjie.

"Your Highness, I am not comparable to those lowly people. Do you think you can get rid of me with just a divorce? Don't forget, you took away my innocence. We must settle this account!"

"absurd!"

Yun Qingjie looked at Bai Yue in his arms nervously, fearing that she would misunderstand him.

"I've never touched you, how can I defile you?"

"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to verify my identity. After all, I've been your concubine for a month. Apart from you, who else can get close to me?"

Chen Yingran put her hands on her hips, looking aggressive.

"My Chen Guogong Mansion is a founding hero. If my father knew that you treated his precious daughter so disrespectfully, he would definitely seek justice from the emperor. I am a princess who married into the prince's mansion with a clean record, but now..."

"Marrying into the palace with a clean record? But I remember you and your cousin Sun Shaoyou had a passionate and affectionate relationship, didn't you?"

Before Chen Yingran finished speaking, Bai Yue directly lifted the cloak wrapped around her and asked her with a puzzled look.

"You, you are talking nonsense! There is nothing shameful between Sun Shaoyou and me!"

Chen Yingran looked at Bai Yue nestled in Yun Qingjie's arms with her shoulders half exposed, and guessed that the two must have spent another night together, but what surprised her most was why the other party knew the little secret between her and Sun Shaoyou.

"Oh? Could it be Young Master An from the Marquis of Jin'an? Or Young General Lin from General Lin's Mansion? Or Young Master Li from Minister Li's Mansion..."

Bai Yue had a playful smile on her lips, because every time she said a name, Chen Yingran's face would turn paler.

"Your Highness, if you insist on saying that the prince has defamed you, then why not call all of these people here to confront them? Or if we discuss it collectively, someone will definitely remember who was the first one..."

Before she finished her words, Chen Yingran went crazy, screaming, "Divorce! Divorce now! I never want to stay in the same room with this witch again!" and ran away.

"Really? Why bother to threaten me with anything else but your innocence?"

When Bai Yue thought of the images she had seen through the crime recorder, she decided to go back and see the beautiful scenery to refresh her eyes and purify her soul.

"My dear princess, how could you know all of Chen Yingran's affairs with these men?"

Although Yun Qingjie was smiling, his teeth were chattering, but Bai Yue was completely unaware and just spoke seriously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't tell anyone about this, although..."

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she was blocked by a domineering kiss from the other party.

"Old Zhou, from now on, no one is allowed to set foot in my yard. Then, tomorrow, send a notice to those people the princess just mentioned, saying that I will come to their homes to have a good chat with them..."
