"How do you say this?" Zheng Chaohua was very puzzled by what Bai Wanrou said, and he didn't understand why Bai Wanrou suddenly asked him to help Chen Ruzhi.
Knowing that Princess Chaohua was confused, Bai Wanrou, who was kneeling on the ground, first glanced at the people serving around her, and then gestured to Princess Chaohua.
"You all retreat first." Following Zheng Chaohua's order, the girls and boys who were still standing nearby all left the room one after another. Lu Zhu and Lin Yi also followed the girls and boys with eyesight.
The servants left, and in an instant only Bai Wanrou and Princess Chaohua were left in the huge room.
Looking at Bai Wanrou who was still kneeling on the ground, Zheng Chaohua stood up from the main seat, helped her up from the ground, asked her to sit next to him, and asked: "Can we talk now? No matter what happened, I, this palace
I will definitely help you make the decision."
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou slowly informed Princess Chaohua of her purpose of coming this time, and informed her of Chen Ruzhi's current situation one by one.
After hearing this, Princess Chaohua sighed and said helplessly: "The emperor is really motivated. In order to suppress King Jian'an, he doesn't care about the border. What should I do?"
"That's why Wanrou dared to come to visit the eldest princess, hoping that the eldest princess could organize a birthday party to help the prince escape from danger." Bai Wanrou looked at Princess Chaohua seriously and said.
Zheng Chaohua couldn't help but sigh when he saw Bai Wanrou's appearance: "Your outspoken temperament is different from your father's character. Compared with you before you married King Jian'an, it is really different. Compared with
I was even more worried about the safety of King Jianan before."
Indeed, looking back at the time before Bai Wanrou and Chen Ruzhi got married, Bai Wanrou was only jealous of Chen Ruzhi at that time, but she never thought that she could help Chen Ruzhi escape from the dangerous situation at the border.
Bai Wanrou was a little embarrassed about this, but she said in a humble tone: "Princess, you are so complimentary. Wanrou just doesn't want to see the people on the border displaced and homeless."
Listening to what Bai Wanrou said, Zheng Chaohua was very anxious about the matter between Bai Wanrou and Chen Ruzhi. He couldn't help but hold her hand and hinted to her: "You and Ruzhi are not young anymore, and now he doesn't have those
After all the hard work, it’s time for you to get along well and have a baby.”
Unexpectedly, Princess Chaohua would say this, and Bai Wanrou blushed instantly. In the end, Princess Chaohua agreed to hold a birthday party with a smile on her face. After Bai Wanrou talked to Princess Chaohua for a while,
After thanking him again, he hurriedly left the princess mansion.
After returning to Prince Jian'an's Mansion, Bai Wanrou asked her maid Lu Zhu to find all the previous jewelry and prepare to sell them all for money. At the same time, she asked Lin Yi to call Su Mingjing over and inform her of her plan.
, let her be responsible for the purchase of accessories, money and food.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly after this is done. I will give you 30% of the profit." Bai Wanrou was worried that Su Mingjing was unwilling to help her, so she mentioned the bonus.
"It is Mingjing's blessing to be able to work for the princess, but I don't know what the princess used to buy those accessories, money and food for?" Su Mingjing did not show that she was unwilling to help Bai Wanrou. Instead, she asked Bai Wanrou what she used to buy those things for.
After such a long period of getting along, Bai Wanrou has already treated Su Mingjing as an ally. Although she did not hide anything from her, she directly stated her purpose:
"Except for the 30% that belongs to you, the remaining 70% will be used to buy food and weapons. You also know what difficulties the prince is encountering at the border now. Help the prince as much as you can."
Su Mingjing did not expect that everything Bai Wanrou did was for Chen Ruzhi and the people of Liming. Her view of Bai Wanrou had greatly changed. She couldn't help but admire her, and her desire to help Bai Wanrou became even stronger.
"Don't worry, Princess, I will handle this matter properly."
With Su Mingjing's guarantee, Bai Wanrou felt relieved, so she didn't say anything else and just waved her hand and asked her to go do the work.
After Su Mingjing left, Bai Wanrou sat in the study again and started reading.
He started to draw drawings for weapons, and this painting lasted for several hours. Lu Zhu was worried that Bai Wanrou's body would not be able to hold on if she didn't eat for a long time, so she prepared some meals and sent them to her study.
On the other side of the study, Bai Wanrou was concentrating on drawing, and did not notice at all when Lu Zhu came to the study. Seeing that Bai Wanrou was so serious, Lu Zhu could not bear to disturb her, so she carefully placed the lunch box on the table aside, and then put the contents inside
The food was taken out and placed at Bai Wanrou's hand.
But because she was too serious, Bai Wanrou didn't notice Lu Zhu's figure at all. Standing next to her, she accidentally reached out and knocked over the plate of delicious food.
"Princess, be careful!" Lu Zhu also didn't expect that Bai Wanrou, who was sitting there drawing pictures, would suddenly stretch out her arms, and the food in her hands was not steady, so she knocked it to the ground with a "snap", which frightened Lu Zhu.
Zhu quickly checked to see if Bai Wanrou was injured.
It was only then that Bai Wanrou noticed that Lu Zhu had come to the study room with a lunch box at some point, and then looked at the food on the floor that she accidentally knocked over, with an apologetic look on her face: "It doesn't matter, I was too focused and didn't notice it.
Did you get burned when you came over?"
Seeing that Bai Wanrou was fine, Lu Zhu came back to his senses from the shock just now. When he met her apologetic eyes, he shook his head quickly and said that he was fine. It was just that the food he had just prepared was knocked to the ground and could not be eaten.
, which actually made Luzhu unable to help but feel a little distressed.
"Princess, please sit here and don't move. I'm going to get a broom to clean the study." After saying that, Lu Zhu picked up the broken plate as quickly as possible and put it aside, and was about to go out from the study to clean the outside.
She took the broom inside to clean it, but she was grabbed by Bai Wanrou after she had just taken a few steps.
"Lvzhu, look." Follow Bai Wanrou's gaze and look at the person who just spilled the food.
I saw a kitten running in front of the overturned plate of food. It seemed to be attracted by the smell of the food, so it quickly threw the food in front of Bai Wanrou and Lu Zhu.
The ground was swept clean.
"This cat must be very hungry, look at its greedy appearance." Lu Zhu smiled and stood there with Bai Wanrou watching the kitten wolfing down the meal he originally prepared for Bai Wanrou.
.
But Bai Wanrou didn't have any expression on her face when she was looking at the kitten eating the spilled food on the ground, because she found that the more happily the kitten ate, the more something was wrong, so she just kept eating.
It felt like I couldn't eat anymore, and I had an ominous premonition in my heart.
Sure enough, after a while, the kitten that was eating happily fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Lu Zhu was so frightened that she screamed, but Bai Wanrou took her hand and stood on the other side of the table to comfort her.
Lin Yi, who had been waiting outside the whole time, heard the noise and rushed in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the lifeless kitten lying on the ground. There was black blood flowing from the corner of its mouth. It was obvious that it was poisoned.
signs.
"Lin Yi, please take some people to thoroughly investigate the mansion. I want to see who is so bold and dares to poison the Jian'an Palace!" After comforting the frightened Lu Zhu, Bai Wanrou said with an angry face.
Lin Yi did not expect that such a thing would happen under Faye Wong's nose. He quickly knelt down and confessed his mistake to Bai Wanrou, and said: "This incident is the fault of my subordinates. It is all my fault that I did not manage the mansion well, leaving the princess and Lu Zhu
The girl was frightened, and my subordinates will definitely find out the matter and prevent the princess from being put in any danger!"
This incident was strange. Bai Wanrou also knew that it was none of Lin Yi's business, so she did not blame him. Instead, she asked him to investigate the matter secretly, without making any announcement, and to find out who was behind it.
Lin Yi was very grateful for this, but at the same time he was very angry at the person who had done this secretly. After saluting Bai Wanrou, he quietly started investigating the matter with his people.
At night, Bai Wanrou was worried that Lu Zhu would be frightened and would not be able to take good care of her, so she asked her to rest first, so the maid keeping watch for her was replaced by another maid.
Fortunately, this girl is also a relatively discerning person. She did not enter the bedroom without Bai Wanrou's permission, but just stood guard outside for convenience.
If Bai Wanrou needs anything, just call her.
Bai Wanrou did not tell the other people around her what happened during the day. Instead, she washed up as usual and went to bed to rest. The maid was also lying outside, on standby at any time.
It was night, and almost everyone in the Jian'an Palace was fast asleep.
Suddenly, a black figure came to Bai Wanrou's door, slowly stretched a pipe into the room through the window paper, and blew into the room. The maid who was lying outside watching the night was caught off guard and took a big breath.
breath, and then fell unconscious.
However, Bai Wanrou, who was lying in the back room, realized that what happened during the day was not trivial. She was worried that someone would come and harm her at night, so she never dared to fall asleep. When she noticed a dark figure coming at the door, she subconsciously held her breath and buried her face in the door.
Under the quilt, pretending to be asleep.
After the people outside the door waited for a short while, they estimated that the people inside had almost fallen asleep, so they picked out the door bolt with a dagger, and then slowly walked into the inner room where Bai Wanrou was, looking at the woman lying on the bed.
Bai Wanrou was sleeping soundly on the bed, with a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes.
"Bai Wanrou, today is the day you die!" When Bai Wanrou, who had been pretending to sleep, heard this, she felt that the voice was familiar, but she couldn't guess who it was for a while.
As the black shadow got closer and closer to her bed, Bai Wanrou stopped pretending to be asleep, sat up from the bed suddenly, put the quilt covering her body on the black shadow's head, and then ran away
Shout out: "Come here! Catch the assassin!"
Just as she was about to stab Bai Wanrou with the dagger in her hand, her vision suddenly turned black, and then she heard Bai Wanrou yelling, which scared her so much that she almost dropped the dagger in her hand.
