Almost as soon as Chen Ruzhi opened his mouth, she stopped her hand.
Seeing the panting Xiao Tao, she immediately understood something. It was really the villain who complained first!
Bai Wanrou denied all the accusations. She waited until Chen Ruzhi finished speaking before she asked, "Does the prince think that I called her here, bullied her, and then let her maid go and invite you to watch the show?"
"If that's really the case, she's pregnant, and she took the initiative to send her to my door even though she knew I hated her. What does that mean?" Her tone was unhurried, and she exposed the villain's disguise in just a few words.
"Your Majesty, my stomach hurts a little..."
Yueyi suddenly covered her abdomen and leaned into Chen Ruzhi's arms with a painful expression.
"What's wrong with Yue'er?" Chen Ruzhi's heart tightened, he swallowed the words he had not spoken yet, and quickly asked about Yue'er's situation.
"It's okay... Your Majesty, the child seemed to have moved just now."
Yue thought that her goal had been achieved and glanced at Bai Wanrou provocatively.
Bai Wanrou was overworked. Seeing this scene, she was even more heartbroken and desperate. Her body could no longer hold up. Lu Zhu quickly came over to support her with quick eyes and hands, and said worriedly: "Miss, how are you?"
Bai Wanrou shook her head. In Chen Ruzhi's eyes, her vulnerability was deliberately pretended.
"Come here!" Chen Ruzhi seemed to be extremely disgusted with her. He quickly looked away and ordered his servants: "Lock her into the woodshed and deprive her of food for three days!"
The servant looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Mr. An, who was beside the emperor just now, came with the imperial edict, and he is waiting in the front hall now!"
Chen Ruzhi frowned and said, "Go and reply first and tell me that I will be there later."
Before he finished speaking, a high-pitched voice cut in from not far away.
"I won't bother you, Your Majesty. We'll come by ourselves."
I saw an old man with white hair and a bright yellow imperial edict walking towards him. He was dressed in an inconspicuous robe outside the palace, but he exuded a majestic aura. If they hadn't heard the eunuch's unique sharp voice, everyone would have thought that this old man was
A noble man who behaves in a low-key manner.
"Princess Jian'an received the decree - she is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor's edict said..."
Bai Wanrou hurriedly knelt down to listen to the order.
No one noticed that Yueyi's face became more and more ugly.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's wish has been brought to our family." After reading out the imperial edict, Eunuch An glanced at the woman who had collapsed on the ground, with a little contempt in his eyes: "Miss Bai is the Princess of Jian'an given by His Majesty. As for the other women,
When you enter the palace, you should be a concubine honestly and do your duty, and don't dream of things you are not worthy of. Your Majesty, this is also for the sake of the royal family. My lord, what do you think?"
"I understand." Chen Ruzhi's face was as dark as water, and his clenched fists tightened and loosened. He turned around to help Yue Yi and wiped away the tears on her face with distress.
"I will make it up to you well." His voice was soft and low, full of love.
"Your Majesty..." Yueyi cried so hard that she was unwilling to be just a concubine.
Why, why is Bai Wanrou so lucky!
She gave Bai Wanrou a hard look, her eyes full of hatred.
After receiving the imperial edict, Bai Wanrou's suppressed emotions in recent days relaxed a lot. She noticed that Chen Ruzhi's eyes looked at her even colder, and she felt the pain in her heart and was unable to explain anything.
He may have concluded that it was her who secretly conveyed the news that made the emperor issue this imperial edict.
Chen Ruzhi hugged Yueyi and left, and Bai Wanrou didn't even dare to look at his back.
She turned her head away, pulled Lu Zhu and planned to leave, but Lu Zhu suddenly screamed: "Ah——"
She hurriedly looked up and saw a pink figure dashing past in front of her. Then what came into view was the bloody left hand of Green Bamboo and the ax on the ground that was already stained with blood.
"Green Bamboo!" Bai Wanrou's ears buzzed, and she felt cold all over.
"Call the doctor!" In panic, she grabbed a maid's lapel and shouted like crazy, "Call the doctor! Go -"
The maid trembled and said: "We, we only obey the orders of the prince and Princess Yue..."
Bai Wanrou seemed to be slapped in the face by these words, her mood suddenly calmed down, she unfolded the imperial edict in her arms and gave a scary smile: "You see clearly, I am Princess Jian'an. If you don't want to die, go immediately
Please come back, doctor!"
"Yes, yes...slave, go right now!"
The maid rolled around and ran to find the doctor.
Bai Wanrou's eyes were red, she helped up Lu Zhu, who had fallen into coma, and walked back step by step.
After lighting a stick of incense, the doctor entered the palace.
Bai Wanrou wiped the sweat on Luzhu's forehead with a handkerchief, and asked the doctor anxiously: "How is her hand? Why is she not awake yet?"
The doctor sighed, handed over two packets of medicine and a prescription, and said: "It's just that she's still awake now because she lost too much blood. It's not a serious matter. It's just that this girl's injury is too serious and her hand bones are broken. She needs to recuperate."
After it heals, the root of the disease will leave, and you will feel unbearable pain when you catch a cold in winter."
"So how can we relieve pain in winter?"
"You have to be careful not to catch the cold. There is no other way."
"How could it be so serious..." Tears filled her eyes and rolled down. Bai Wanrou sobbed and blamed herself: "It's me who didn't protect you. I'm sorry for you..."
"Miss..." After an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhu woke up from his coma, stretched out his other intact hand and touched Bai Wanrou's, "Miss, don't blame yourself, it's not Miss, it's that Xiao Tao... she
I have always disliked slaves."
"Don't worry, I will make those who have hurt you pay the price." Bai Wanrou wiped her tears and watched Lu Zhu fall asleep again, then got up and sent the doctor out of the room.
The maid who had been scared out of the house by her before to look for the doctor was still in the yard. When she saw her, she was startled again and asked hurriedly: "Princess, does the princess have any other orders?"
Bai Wanrou didn't mean to embarrass her, so she said directly: "I'm hungry, let someone bring me food."
She turned back to the back room and looked at the room as she walked. This was her new house, but it was tainted with the smell of other women.
She will get back everything she lost bit by bit.
Since the day she married into the palace, Bai Wanrou had not had a full meal a day. When she saw the delicacies brought by her maid, she had no intention of tasting them carefully.
After devouring some food, Bai Wanrou saw that Lu Zhu was awake, so she placed the food that had been divided in advance in front of her and fed her herself.
"Miss...where did these come from?" Luzhu couldn't help but asked in confusion after swallowing a mouthful of chicken.
"Before, I was obedient and tolerant, but I was not respected by them. In the end, everyone was able to bully me and humiliate me. In this case, I will no longer tolerate it from today on."
Bai Wanrou smiled sweetly, as if she had turned back into the carefree eldest lady of the Bai family.
She is the daughter of the Bai family and has a noble birth. Even if she longs for the love of her sweetheart, she should never wrong herself so much that she loses her dignity and the face of her family.
"Miss, it would be great if you really think so! My servant has told you a long time ago that tolerating everywhere will not work. You will only wrong yourself!" Luzhu seemed to be very pleased with the change of his young lady, and kept talking.
Talking about what happened in the White Mansion.
The master and servant were chatting happily, but they didn't notice that there were two more dishes on the table at some point, and they were still exuding the heat of being freshly cooked.
Some people are happy and some are sad. The moonlight on the other side begins as a concubine, with resentment in their hearts and a frown all day long.
Every time she saw Chen Ruzhi, she would mention the matter of status in a roundabout way. Once or twice, Chen Ruzhi comforted her softly and ordered people to buy her many new clothes. But after three times, she brought it up again, but Chen Ruzhi seemed bored.
He rubbed his eyebrows and looked like he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"Husband, do you think I'm annoyed?" Yue Yi asked, feeling a little panicked.
Chen Ruzhi didn't like to be manipulated. After the imperial edict came down, he felt that there were more shackles on his body, always reminding him what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
And all this has to do with that woman Bai Wanrou!
Now that Yue Yi has mentioned status several times, he actually wants Yue Yi to be his princess, but the time has not come yet, and it shouldn't be at this time.
However, Yueyi always mentioned this matter, which made him feel irritated and unwilling to stay for a long time.
"You should have a good rest. I will come see you tomorrow." After a long silence, Chen Ruzhi just said this. When Yueyi heard this, she became even more panicked and quickly covered her abdomen and lied about having a stomachache.
Her purpose was just to keep Chen Ruzhi, and Chen Ruzhi really couldn't leave. Seeing Yueyi's painful look, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to find a doctor.
After the doctor confirmed that Yueyi was fine, Chen Ruzhi looked at the housekeeper and asked out of nowhere: "What's going on over there?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then said: "Uh... the princess has moved back to the courtyard."
Chen Ruzhi sneered: "Even you are afraid of that imperial edict."
The housekeeper hurriedly knelt down to show his loyalty. Chen Ruzhi was tired of hearing these words and waved his hand to tell him not to say these words again.
"Just call her, she is the Princess of Jian'an conferred by the emperor's brother, but she will never be my wife." Chen Ruzhi looked at Yue Yi's sleeping face from a distance, and felt soft in his heart.
The butler then recounted exactly what he heard while delivering the meal, and added at the end: "The princess seems to have changed."
Chen Ruzhi didn't think so and said coldly: "You will never change your nature."
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Yueyi on the couch thought that Bai Wanrou was enjoying herself and moved back to her new house.
But she was demoted to a concubine, which meant that she no longer had the right to be the master of the palace. Such a strong contrast made her not resentful!
In the house, Xiao Tao massaged Yueyi's legs and said: "Master, I have been a little complacent with Bai Wanrou these days. Now everyone in the house is talking about her. I feel really anxious for you!"
"Why are you so anxious?" Yue Yi took a sip of tea and didn't care much: "What if she is proud for a few days? The prince hates her, and I am pregnant with the prince's heir. Sooner or later, the position of the princess will be mine."
