Qin Yiyao glanced at her, puzzled, thinking she was worried about her relationship with the Crown Prince, and shook her head in refusal: "No need, I will stay with you today. Besides, with Miss Bai’s current condition, it’s better to have a woman nearby."
"Fool!" Mu Qingge cursed silently in her heart.
At this moment, she couldn’t overly provoke Qin Jinxiu. Otherwise, if this guy went crazy, it was hard to say how today’s outcome would be.
Since Qin Yiyao didn’t want to leave, Mu Qingge could only quickly drive Qin Jinxiu away to deal with the incense burner.
Her gaze shifted, and Mu Qingge said to herself, "Huh? I think I heard footsteps. Could it be the Empress bringing people here?"
Qin Jinxiu felt tense inside, but Mu Qingge’s words, though harsh, had already calmed him down.
He had his father watching in front, and Prince Rui eyeing aggressively from behind; he absolutely couldn’t give anyone a handle against him. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Jinxiu finally released Bai Xiyue and stood up.
"Clean up well for this Crown Prince, or else... hmph." With a haughty remark, Qin Jinxiu left the side hall, afraid of being caught if he tarried even a moment longer.
As soon as Qin Jinxiu left, Qin Yiyao ran over to Bai Xiyue, pulling down a brocade cloth to wrap around her body.
Mu Qingge walked directly to the incense burner, snorted coldly, and overturned it onto the ground, stomping out the burning incense.
After finishing all this, Mu Qingge then said to Qin Yiyao: "Try to take good care of her." With that, she left the side hall and waited outside on the steps.
It didn’t take long before the Empress arrived, leading a large entourage.
Seeing Mu Qingge standing outside the side hall from afar, she asked: "Mu Lord, why are you standing here? I heard Miss Bai was missing, and I’m sending people out to search for her."
Mu Qingge sneered inwardly, thinking perhaps this woman hurried over because she heard news about her son disappearing together with Bai Xiyue.
And those noblewomen who followed along likely couldn’t refuse her, reluctantly tagging along.
"Report to the Empress, Xiyue has been found. It turns out she accidentally took a fall, and now Princess Changle is helping her in the palace’s side hall to tend to her injuries and clean off stains from her clothes," Mu Qingge replied calmly, without a trace of falsehood.
Her answer eased the Empress’s tense heartstrings. Showing a faint smile, she nodded: "It’s good that she’s found. Since Princess Changle is with her, I won’t go in. If there’s any need, just instruct the palace maids."
"Thank you, Empress," Mu Qingge said, lowering her gaze.
Afterward, the Empress glanced at the tightly closed door of the side hall behind Mu Qingge, then left with her group in grand fashion.
Only after the Empress and others disappeared from sight did the door behind Mu Qingge slowly open.
Qin Yiyao walked out and said to Mu Qingge: "Miss Bai seems to have injured her rib and can’t move around. I’ve ordered the carriage to be brought here and we’ll leave shortly."
Mu Qingge slightly nodded, agreeing to her arrangement.
Seeing Mu Qingge’s agreement, Qin Yiyao went down to make arrangements. This ice-princess seemed to be showing a gradually virtuous side.
Before long, Princess Changle’s carriage slowly moved into the side hall.
Qin Yiyao, somewhat troubled, said to Mu Qingge: "After all, Miss Bai is a bride-to-be, and I’m afraid my guards aren’t suitable to touch her. The maids fear accidentally moving her wounds, causing her rib to shift."
Mu Qingge looked at her, waited for her to finish speaking, then asked, "What do you want?"
Qin Yiyao lightly bit her lip, lowered her gaze, and said: "You grew up with her, why not carry her into the carriage?"
Mu Qingge said with a faint smile, "You’re kind-hearted."
