Lin Feng swam around the lotus pond but couldn't find anyone, so he simply stood up, wiped his face, and started calling.
Bai Wanrou, who was behind the tree, heard the rough voice and raised her forehead, but did not stand up and respond.
She knew that she must have been framed, so she deliberately hid behind the tree and waited for the culprit to show up.
If she hadn't learned the nature of water and happened to meet Lin Feng passing by, her life would have been decided here tonight.
It seems that that person wants to kill himself.
Bai Wanrou lowered her eyes.
In fact, even without waiting, she knew that except for Yue Yi who had the energy to deal with herself, no one else in the entire palace had such thoughts.
but……
Even if Yueyi made a mistake, Chen Ruzhi would not be able to punish her severely.
The way he openly defended Yueyi in front of everyone before appeared in Bai Wanrou's mind again.
She sat down on the dirt, feeling a little ridiculous.
So what if I wait here for a long time?
The final result was still unsatisfactory.
Bai Wanrou wiped away the tears that were falling from the corners of her eyes and did not think about anything else.
But the maid she was familiar with before must have been bribed, and her words cannot be believed in the future.
Bai Wanrou raised her head again.
The place where the servants lived was quite close to the back mountain, so Lin Feng called out and called many people.
"This is how the same thing?"
"I don't know, why is Guard Lin calling the princess in the lotus pond?"
…
As such discussions resounded, Lin Feng also saw a large group of people standing on the shore.
The anxious look on his face continued as he shouted to the girls:
"Can you please help me find where the princess is? I just passed by the back mountain and saw the princess being pushed down the lotus pond. I have searched around and can't find anyone."
"What? The princess was pushed into the lotus pond?!"
"Oh my god, this is so audacious!"
Hearing what Lin Feng said, the group of servants were a little shocked.
None of them had such a bad mind, but now they naturally felt a chill on their backs and the hairs all over their bodies stood up.
However, it turns out that Lin Feng's move was very effective.
Because even Luzhu and Qingtang were found by this group of servants.
They were coaxed into doing something, but they saw no one there. They were already puzzled. Now that they heard about it, they understood that they had been tricked and hurried over.
"Miss! Miss!"
Lu Zhu was so anxious that she burst into tears. If she had known this, she should have let Qingtang stay here no matter what she said just now.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't been so careless, nothing would have happened to the lady!
Luzhu was so carried away by these thoughts that she even forgot that Bai Wanrou had learned the nature of water when she was in the Hou Mansion.
At the same time, Chen Ruzhi also heard some disturbances.
"Lin Yi, go outside and find out what happened. Why is it so noisy in the middle of the night?"
"yes."
As soon as Lin Yi went out, he saw several maids wandering around helplessly, as if they were looking for help but didn't know who could give them a helping hand.
He walked up and asked, "What are you doing here at night if you don't sleep?"
They seemed to have seen the backbone, and the confused people suddenly had direction. Each one of them was eager to explain the situation to Lin Yi.
"The princess has been framed, and now Guard Lin is rescuing people over at the lotus pond!"
What they said was without any logic or logic at all, and they were obviously anxious.
But when these words were put together, Lin Yi could understand what exactly happened.
His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't imagine how the prince would react if he heard the news.
He hurriedly ran back to the room. When Chen Ruzhi saw this, he thought something big had happened.
"What happened that they even took you there?"
Lin Yi calmed down his breathing and tried to describe the incident in a calm tone, "Princess, she..."
"He was framed and pushed into the lotus pond. Now Lin Feng is looking for someone in the lotus pond."
Chen Ruzhi immediately stood up from his chair and reacted violently. There was an emotion in his eyes that Lin Yi had never seen in him before - panic.
This also allowed Lin Yi to confirm his inner thoughts. Chen Ruzhi had actually been in love with Bai Wanrou for a long time, but he didn't know it.
"Then why don't you go take a look quickly and help find someone? Why are you standing there in a daze!"
Chen Ruzhi spoke in a somewhat hasty tone, and after speaking, he turned around and left the room, regardless of whether Lin Yi followed behind him.
He had never been so helpless.
He couldn't even imagine what if Bai Wanrou was like this...
Thinking of this, Chen Ruzhi felt that his wildly beating heart was no longer his.
"princess--!"
As soon as he reached the lotus pond, he heard the servants shouting loudly. However, except for Lin Feng, the lotus pond was completely silent.
Chen Ruzhi calmed down and thought for a while, no, Bai Wanrou was definitely not in the lotus pond.
Although he didn't know how watery she was, he knew that with her personality she would not put himself in danger.
He looked around, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind, and he began to look for people behind every tree.
Lin Yi didn't understand what he was doing, so he could only follow the example and start shouting with the group of people.
"Bai Wanrou?"
Chen Ruzhi's voice was not quiet, but among so many people, his question was not heard by anyone, not even Lin Yi behind him.
Bai Wanrou herself was shocked.
She didn't expect that anyone could be found here, so she quickly turned around and met Chen Ruzhi's eyes.
"you……"
Bai Wanrou didn't know what to say, so Chen Ruzhi spoke first.
"Why are you hiding here? Don't you know everyone is worried about you? You don't know how to come out and say something."
"Your personal maid and those servants are looking for you almost crazy, but you are hiding here and don't know what to do."
"Bai Wanrou, I really can't understand you more and more now. What exactly do you want to do?"
Bai Wanrou didn't expect that he would talk so much to her, and she was a little shocked inside.
However, despite being shocked, I was also a little disappointed.
If she hadn't been good at water, her life or death would have been uncertain by now, and yet his first reaction when he saw him was to preach?
"I see, you are not worried about what will happen to me, but you are worried about your own concubine, right?"
Chen Ruzhi didn't know how this matter could be related to Yue Yi. His eyes when he looked at Bai Wanrou were obviously a little confused, and his tone of voice unconsciously softened.
"What do you mean? What does this matter have to do with her?"
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows. It seemed that he was just as she expected and had no doubts about Yue's intentions.
However, she was sure that this matter was definitely done by Yue Yi, and no one in the palace except her would be so hostile to her.
"Don't you know? It was Yueyi who found a servant to push me from behind, and also used a trick to transfer my personal maid away."
Chen Ruzhi gave a short and mean sneer, as if she was telling a joke.
"You can't protect yourself now, how can you still know who pushed you down?"
But what he didn't expect was that after asking this question, Bai Wanrou rolled her eyes at him.
That seems to mean: You, a prince, don’t even know this?
"Let me ask you, am I the only concubine you have with her now?"
Chen Ruzhi raised his chin and motioned for her to continue.
"Then if something happens to me, will you accept another princess or promote Yueyi to the position of princess?"
This time he stopped talking.
Faced with Chen Ruzhi's silence, Bai Wanrou felt that she had truly entrusted the wrong person to her before.
I thought that he had at least some feelings for me, but I never expected that his heart would still be with Yueyi in the end.
Bai Wanrou lowered her eyes. She didn't do much, but the aura emanating from her body made Chen Ruzhi feel a little pity.
He felt that he was probably really crazy.
After his previous behavior, he actually felt a little distressed by Bai Wanrou's current appearance.
"Then you can't conclude based on this alone that Yue Yi did this, right?"
Chen Ruzhi's original intention was not to have such strong hostility between the two of them.
However, Bai Wanrou mistakenly thought that his behavior was to deliberately protect Yue Yi.
She was a little angry, "Then let's make a bet? If this matter is indeed found out to be Yueyi's doing, how about you hand her over to me? Do you dare to bet?"
Chen Ruzhi looked at her pretty little face and her unwillingness to admit defeat. For some reason, the first reaction in his heart was not disgust, but actually thought she was cute.
He looked away, his ears turning red. Unfortunately, in such darkness, Bai Wanrou, who was opposite him, couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
Bai Wanrou curled her lips and smiled. She no longer cared who Chen Ruzhi liked.
Since you are destined to be unable to compete with Yue emotionally, then just keep your heart safe.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life in the palace. If Yue wanted to ruin her life, she would punish him and send him back. This was actually quite good.
Chen Ruzhi didn't know that the beauty opposite him had already given up on him.
Now the two people's eyes met, and he was the first to look away. The frankness and frankness in Bai Wanrou's eyes made him a little afraid to look at each other.
"Ahem, can you go out now? Everyone is worried about you, especially Lin Feng, who is still in the lotus pond."
Bai Wanrou looked through the leaves, and sure enough, Lin Feng was really still standing in the lotus pond.
Although the weather was not considered severe cold in this season, there was always a cold wind blowing through the night. Her bones were shaking from the cold even on the shore, let alone Lin Feng in the lotus pond.
Bai Wanrou wanted to take care of Yueyi, but she never thought of letting others suffer such torture.
She originally wanted to listen to Chen Ruzhi's instructions and stand up, but within a short moment she saw Yueyi.
She shrank back almost subconsciously.
"What's wrong? Are you back again?"
Chen Ruzhi was already planning to leave, but saw her hiding back to her original place.
Bai Wanrou Qianqianyu pointed in a direction. He looked in this direction and unexpectedly saw Yue Yi and Xiao Tao. This chapter has been completed!
