Bai Wanrou thought hard, but she never thought that Prince Jian'an, who had no worries about food and clothing, had never eaten such desserts.
When she realized that he took a few bites of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and glanced at her secretly, she frowned calmly and said, "Qingtang, let me change places with you. This chair makes my back hurt."
Except for the pure wooden chair in the prince's room, most of the others in the palace bought them from shops outside, and the quality is the same.
When he heard her say this, Qingtang subconsciously said "ah" and looked at her with a wink, then he changed his position belatedly.
She originally sat near the innermost part of the room and the farthest away from Chen Ruzhi. Now she changed her position and the distance between Bai Wanrou and him became the same.
Seeing this, Chen Ruzhi could not know that she was deliberately trying to hide from him.
At this time, the images of her firmly saying that she wanted to reconcile and mercilessly accusing herself of her faults came to mind, making Chen Ruzhi feel a little tight in his chest.
He could sense that since Bai Wanrou changed her attitude, his feelings for her were becoming less and less pure, and becoming more and more intense.
But so what?
He still feels that as long as the truth about that year is found out and he can really treat her well, there will be nothing irredeemable between the two.
Such thoughts made Chen Ruzhi feel uncomfortable for a while, but he soon returned to normal.
It was precisely because his mind was filled with thoughts about Bai Wanrou that his usually keen insight did not notice anything strange about his body.
Outside the room, a maid looked at the two men standing behind her with evil expressions, and hesitantly raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, someone has come to see you. It is said that they have something important to discuss."
The servant didn't know how to address Yue Yi, and he was afraid that he would be punished if what he said made her dissatisfied, so he simply ignored it.
As a result, Chen Ruzhi didn't expect that the visitor would be Yueyi. He thought it was Lin Feng who was sent on a mission and returned, so he opened the door unpreparedly.
"Your Majesty..." Yue Yi looked at the familiar face in front of her, and was not in a hurry to act coquettishly. She knew that her plan was not in a hurry, and the most important thing now was to make him let down his guard against her.
But with just one movement from Chen Ruzhi, the decent smile on her face instantly froze at the corners of her mouth - he looked back at Bai Wanrou's reaction.
This was the first time Yueyi felt his change, it was too obvious.
From the past, everyone in the capital regarded it as a joke that spoiling concubines and destroying wives, to now treating her as a shameless concubine, isn't it because of Bai Wanrou in the final analysis?
Yueyi tightened her palms and tried not to show too much sinister expression on her face.
She really underestimated Bai Wanrou. She thought that even if she sat in the position of princess, she would not be much of a threat to her.
I never expected...she could actually change Chen Ruzhi's heart in a short period of time.
Yue Yi secretly spat in her heart. Only she knew that the fire burning in her heart was not only because of anger, but also jealousy.
In the past, all the servants in the palace thought that the prince doted on her the most, but in fact, he had never made any exceptions for her, and even his gentle treatment seemed to be a play on occasion.
What now? What is his completely different attitude towards Bai Wanrou? Not only did he directly give her his underwear, he even took the initiative to go to her yard!
Thinking that she had rushed to find Chen Ruzhi in the yard like this before she was imprisoned, her hatred for Bai Wanrou became even more intense.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Ruzhi's voice has always been very cold, and the deep voice can be heard as if you can hear the friction of the gently rolling particles, which is very confusing.
Yueyi was brought back from her thoughts by his words, and she raised the corners of her lips as if nothing happened, "I have something to discuss with the prince. I wonder if you have time now?"
"I still have something to do, let's talk about it in a few days." After saying that, he wanted to close the door directly.
Yue Yi, who had never thought that he would be so heartless, was stunned on the spot, as if she had not recovered from the shock, and before closing the door, she calmly said:
"It's about the incident when I rescued you. Don't you want to know more about it, Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, the door that was still being pushed outward suddenly stopped. The owner probably hesitated for a moment before opening the door again.
"It just so happens that I need to tell you something, let's go."
In fact, Bai Wanrou's room was not big. They were standing at the door and talking. Logically speaking, people in the room could hear them.
But Chen Ruzhi's voice was already low and soft, and she deliberately changed her position to sit in the innermost place, so she could only vaguely hear a few words.
Raising her hand to twist the fingers of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Bai Wanrou pretended not to care and continued to put the pastry into her mouth, but she always felt that the taste she was eating now was missing, and it was no longer sweet.
Chen Ruzhi was used to being reckless. How could he pay attention to such tiny details? He didn't even look at Bai Wanrou before leaving.
"I have found out some clues about that incident back then. If you voluntarily tell the truth, I may be able to show you some mercy."
Seeing that he had almost reached Yueyi's courtyard and no one was passing by around him, Chen Ruzhi said in a cold voice.
But not only did his posture not scare Yue Yi, he could even clearly hear her chuckle.
After opening the door, Yueyi's first thing was to pour a glass of water into the teacup on the table. Just like every day and night she had served him before, she couldn't see anything wrong.
Chen Ruzhi had just eaten the greasy pastry and was short of water at this moment, so he took a big gulp and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Your Majesty, I can tell you the details of what happened that year, why do you suddenly not believe me?"
Yueyi felt much more relaxed. She knew that Chen Ruzhi had eaten cakes containing medicine, and that the glass of water she just handed over contained colorless and odorless side medicines that could enhance the effect of the medicine.
It took less than a moment for him to burn incense, and his whole body would be filled with heat, and his rationality would be wiped out by desire.
Yueyi touched her back molars with her tongue. She was a normal person. She had not been intimate with Chen Ruzhi for countless hours since she became pregnant.
This time she finally got a chance, and she even bought the most powerful drug for this purpose. If she missed it again, it would be unjustifiable.
Even though Chen Ruzhi reacted slowly, he gradually felt something was wrong with his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you plotting against me?"
"Your Majesty is really worrying too much. It's just that in the past few days, His Majesty can't tolerate anyone except the Princess. I want to make peace..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ruzhi had already raised his hand and swept away the bottles and jars on the table. The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground made him barely stay awake.
He gasped and clenched his generous palms unconsciously, "If I remember correctly, the last time you framed the princess, she deprived you of your concubine."
Yue Yi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that he still took the punishment that had brought him down to this point to heart.
"So, serve me? Are you worthy?" Chen Ruzhi's face was flushed, and double images appeared when he looked at the scene in front of him, and his legs began to feel weak and trembling.
So much so that the sarcastic words he uttered not only did not make Yue Yi flinch, but she even approached him with a smile, and her weak and boneless fingers climbed onto his arm, "But... I'm also afraid that the prince won't be able to bear it."
She was sprayed with perfume, which was the same as drug, and had aphrodisiac effect. Just now the two of them were far away, but it didn't have much effect. Now that she was close, Chen Ruzhi could clearly feel that his energy and blood were rising a little more.
He really couldn't stand it any longer, so he pushed Yueyi away roughly without caring about her.
"I'll give you a deadline. Think carefully about whether you want to continue to trick me. I will continue to investigate what happened back then, so you can take care of yourself."
After saying such a long sentence, Chen Ruzhi almost collapsed. He raised his hand but didn't even have the strength to push the door open.
He didn't remember exactly how he left the yard, but he knew that the moment the cold wind outside blew against him, he briefly woke up.
In the end, Chen Ruzhi returned to his yard purely by relying on his body's instincts. Before he could even step into the threshold, he collapsed on the ground.
Lin Yi was sent out to perform a mission and did not come back so soon. By the time he returned to the palace, it was almost evening.
"Prince? Why are you here?"
At first, Lin Yi didn't even notice that there was someone lying on the ground, because Chen Ruzhi's robe was difficult to see clearly in the dark night. If he hadn't stepped on Chen Ruzhi's boots, he would have been lying here for a whole day.
"Water...cold water."
Chen Ruzhi's head was no longer very clear, and his sanity had been swallowed up to some extent. In addition, the effect of the medicine had not been resolved, so the words he spoke were like the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies, and he could not hear them clearly at all.
Lin Yi brought his ears closer and said, "Your Majesty, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
During the questioning, his hand somehow touched Chen Ruzhi's forearm, and the scorching temperature made him pull it back immediately.
"Why is it so hot..." Lin Yi muttered in a low voice. This was the first time he was so flustered. In the end, he had no choice but to carry Chen Ruzhi into the room first.
There was no light outside, so he could not clearly see Chen Ruzhi's condition. Only now that he entered the room did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
His face was flushed, and his body temperature was abnormally high. He was obviously drugged.
Although Lin Yi had no experience, he knew that he needed to be cooled down at this time. He was helpless and added cold water to the bucket, thinking frantically in his mind about how to deal with it.
Innocent love, he is not an idiot, he can know what kind of medicine is in Chen Ru, so a bold idea flashed in his mind.
Why don't you call the princess?
Recently, the prince's attitude towards the princess has changed significantly, and he will definitely not resist her.
More importantly, he couldn't think of any other way except this method.
So after gently soaking Chen Ruzhi in cold water, Lin Yi rubbed his hands and went to Bai Wanrou's yard.
At first, he was still struggling with how to explain this matter, but when he saw Bai Wanrou's gentle eyebrows, his worries suddenly disappeared.
"Princess, please go and save our prince." This chapter has been completed!
