Unlike those well-meaning servants, they didn't help shouting when they arrived. They walked a few steps and happened to land next to Bai Wanrou.
"Little... miss."
"Trash! Didn't I tell others to see her being intimate with Lin Feng? Why can't I even find anyone now?"
Yueyi said fiercely.
But she was still afraid that someone might hear her, so she looked around and lowered her voice.
"Bring me the boy who's doing the work. I'm going to punish him."
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou, who was hiding in the dark, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Ruzhi.
"It seems our bet will be fulfilled soon."
Chen Ruzhi did not respond to her words, but just stared blankly in the direction of the moon.
She...is really such a person?
She had harmed Bai Wanrou so many times without knowing it?
Could it be that what happened before was also her plan?
Chen Ruzhi felt as if his heart had sunk. He had never imagined that someone he had always trusted would do such a thing.
No wonder Bai Wanrou's personal maid always looks like she hates him, no wonder she rarely competes for favor in front of him.
It turns out that he was looking in the wrong direction all along.
Yueyi didn't know that she had already been exposed, so she only looked at the lotus pond fiercely.
Every time she wanted to harm Bai Wanrou, she would always be interrupted by one thing or another.
This time is no exception. Who knows why this damn Bai Wanrou is so lucky!
However, looking at Lin Feng's anxious look, she should easily be able to dethrone Bai Wanrou from the position of princess by then.
Yueyi raised her head.
"But, miss...there are so many people here."
"Are you stupid? You won't call people to my yard?"
Yue Yi's tone towards Xiao Tao was not very nice, it could even be said to be very bad.
But she has long been used to it. Ever since Yueyi was demoted, she not only numbs herself every day, but also sometimes uses servants like them to vent her anger.
Yueyi was extremely kind to her even without beating or scolding her. She never expected to receive any good treatment.
But every time she thought about this, she couldn't help but envy Luzhu and Qingtang.
They have found a good mistress. Not only is he favored by the prince, but he is also powerful. The most important thing is that the relationship between master and servant is quite harmonious.
There must be no servant who would not envy Bai Wanrou's doting on Lu Zhu and Qingtang.
She lowered her head, but it was a pity that she was unlucky. She had followed Yueyi for short-term interests, and had also opposed Bai Wanrou many times.
So what if I regret now? There is no medicine for regret in this world.
And she is destined to follow Yue Yi and use these dirty and dishonorable methods to deal with others.
At this moment, Bai Wanrou was about to stand up and expose their conspiracy.
However, after squatting behind the tree for too long, her feet were already numb.
So the moment she stood up, she was almost out of control and fell forward.
In the end, she did not fall on the cold ground, nor was she stained with mud, but fell into a warm embrace.
"Chen...Chen Ruzhi."
Bai Wanrou looked at the person beneath her, she really couldn't imagine that Chen Ruzhi would use her as a backer.
Looking at his familiar brows and eyes, Bai Wanrou felt that a strange aura was surging crazily in her heart, and her cheeks and earlobes were already stained with a touch of red.
"Aren't you going to get up yet? How long are you going to press on me?"
This sentence brought back Bai Wanrou's thoughts. She came back to her senses, realized what she was doing, and quickly supported her body with her hands on the side.
"That...cough."
Bai Wanrou rarely had such close contact with him, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should say thank you or sorry.
Fortunately, Chen Ruzhi did not dwell on this. After seeing her hesitation, he simply asked, "Are your legs still numb? Can you stand up?"
"ah?"
Bai Wanrou didn't expect that he would still care about her, and her brain was a little distracted from the situation.
"I told you, wasn't it because your legs were numb that you didn't stand up just now?"
"Oh, you should be able to stand up. Let me try."
Before Bai Wanrou could test whether her legs could withstand this standing, Chen Ruzhi had already pulled her half-propped body down.
She thought it was a bad joke and he thought of some way to tease her. Her first reaction was anger.
However, in an instant, I saw him massaging his calves and ankles in circular motions.
"you……"
"What's wrong with me?"
Chen Ruzhi raised his eyes. The slightly tilted moonlight made it difficult for him to see the appearance of the person in front of him, but he knew that Bai Wanrou seemed to be hiding from him.
The ankle that was grasped by his hand kept shrinking back the moment his generous palm covered it.
He couldn't count how many times he dragged her legs this way.
"What are you hiding from?"
With the heat of the question coming out of her mouth, Bai Wanrou finally relaxed a little. She looked at Chen Ruzhi and coughed, "It's nothing, it's just subconscious."
After a moment, his hand left her calf.
"You should be able to stand up now."
Bai Wanrou thought to herself, of course it is, even if her legs were a little numb, he rubbed them away.
She stood up and looked at Yue Yi, who was only a few steps away from her. She felt a little disappointed that Yue Yi had not seen the scene just now.
She never knew how Yueyi would feel when she saw her and Chen Ruru's love.
But the most important thing now is to resolve this matter first.
"Shh, be quiet."
"Everyone, please go back first. The culprit for my falling into the water today will be found and solved, so I won't delay you all."
After such a long time, in fact, only a few of the servants had left, so there were not many people listening to Bai Wanrou's words.
"Hey, isn't the princess here?"
"Yeah, I thought she..."
"Shh, you don't want your life, how dare you say such a thing?"
Bai Wanrou clearly heard some comments after she appeared.
But she didn't take it to heart because it was not her focus in the first place.
She just turned around and looked at Yueyi calmly, the coldness in her eyes obvious.
"Yueyi, I wonder if you have anything else to explain about what you just said?"
"What...you can't talk nonsense about what you say or don't say."
Yueyi was actually already panicking in her heart.
She never expected that she would find a secluded place and bump into Bai Wanrou right next to it.
At that time, Chen Ruzhi, whose figure had been obscured by flowers and plants, also stood up.
Looking at the man and woman standing together, Yueyi gritted her teeth, but she didn't show it.
"My lord, you have to believe me, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
Chen Ruzhi met her eyes that seemed to be asking for help, but did nothing except look away.
Seeing his reaction like this, Yue Yi's heart went cold.
"Really? Then I want to ask you, who is the boy you said you were looking for? Huh?"
Bai Wanrou was approaching step by step, and Yueyi had no choice but to retreat while protecting her belly.
She couldn't think of a lie that could be explained for a while. She was lawless because she was protected by Chen Ruzhi.
Now that he was out of the picture, she had no recourse.
"King, princess...you..."
Yueyi actually wanted to speak harshly to Bai Wanrou, but at this moment Chen Ruzhi was standing in front of her and watching. She had to carefully consider every word, so how could she speak in a venomous tone?
Looking at the woman in front of her, Yue Yi wanted to cut her into pieces with a thousand knives, but her face showed innocence and grievance after being wronged.
I have to say that she is really suitable to be an actor. If she had put so much energy into singing, she would have already achieved something.
Bai Wanrou thought this in her heart, knowing that she would tolerate her true nature in front of Chen Ruzhi.
"I won't force you. As long as you give me a reasonable explanation, I'll pretend this never happened. What do you think?"
Bai Wanrou stopped and did not move forward, with a slight smile on her face.
But she knew that Yueyi couldn't give this reasonable explanation.
As expected, the latter hesitated for a long time, and finally could only look at Chen Ruzhi with tears in his eyes.
"My lord, do you want to face this woman now?"
"Yueyi, no matter how big or small, Wanrou is still a princess no matter what."
Chen Ruzhi scolded him sharply.
But he probably never expected that this sentence would make both women stunned.
Bai Wanrou had never heard him call her by her baby name so affectionately.
And Yue Yi was even more shocked. In addition to calling him Yue'er in the palace, when did he establish such a close relationship with Bai Wanrou?
Could it be that...the two of them have already been there?
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood. No wonder he had no hesitation in deposing her and promoting Bai Wanrou to the throne after the imperial edict came down.
It seems that it is impossible to borrow Chen Ruzhi's hand now. She can only take the position of princess in the palace by herself.
Yueyi's eyes were a little colder in the darkness, and against the moonlight, they were actually somewhat harmonious.
She looked at Bai Wanrou and Chen Ruzhi who were close together, with her own expression still on her face, and asked: "I was wrong. May I ask how the princess wants to be punished?"
Chen Ruzhi nodded with satisfaction, and next to him, Bai Wanrou thought for a moment.
"This matter is not a trivial matter. If the punishment I give you is too light, it will not be fair to others."
"Let's do this. I'll punish you with three days of confinement, and you won't be allowed to raise the child after giving birth, okay?"
Before Yueyi could speak, Chen Ruzhi frowned.
If word of such a severe punishment spreads, what will the servants say about Bai Wanrou behind her back?
Hadn't she thought about these things before?
What's more, it was just a fall into the water. Is it really worth her harsh punishment?
So Chen Ruzhi couldn't help but break his promise, "Isn't this punishment a bit too much?"
Yueyi smiled, and as expected, he still cared about himself in his heart.
However, what she didn't know was that Chen Ru said this because of Bai Wanrou's reputation.
"Your Majesty, we agreed before that if you don't interfere, are you going to violate the bet?" This chapter has been completed!
