Bai Wanrou immediately pulled up her clothes, but Lu Zhu still stared at that place intently, as if her eyes were glued to it.
"Miss, the prince has gone too far. How could he do this to you?" Luzhu came to her senses. She had always thought that with the prince's level of self-control, he must have done some things in a normal way last night, but the unsightly traces were obviously broken.
caught up in her fantasy.
Even with bruises left, how much tenderness can there be?
Lu Zhu clenched her fists and her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. She felt that her young lady was particularly miserable.
I had always suffered from the prince's cold eyes before, but now I finally let it go. The prince always does things that make people misunderstand.
She simply couldn't believe how the young lady endured it yesterday.
"Okay, be good, don't cry. I'm fine. As the princess, this is my responsibility. Besides, he didn't go too far."
Bai Wanrou pursed her lips. If it weren't for the fact that she could tell that Chen Ruzhi had really taken Chinese medicine yesterday, she would never have spoken for him.
Thinking of this, she felt something was wrong.
I have been pregnant for so long and am already close to the period of giving birth. Not to mention such high-intensity exercise, even walking a few steps would be strenuous.
"Qingtang, please come in."
"Miss, what's wrong?" Qingtang thought she was going to do something by herself after bathing, but when he came in, he found that she hadn't even taken off her clothes.
Bai Wanrou was silent for a while and then said hesitantly: "As for the matter of Yueyi's drugging, please go find out the whole story for me."
There was nothing unusual about this, but Qingtang was dumbfounded and said in shock: "Miss, you don't think someone is framing her, do you?"
When she didn't get an answer right away, she panicked again. She walked up to Bai Wanrou in a few steps and said earnestly: "Miss, don't be deceived by this person. Have you forgotten what she did to you before? This
People of this kind can do anything stupid!"
Even though Bai Wanrou already had her own plan in mind, she still felt guilty by her series of words.
"What does this mean? I don't have it. It's just why Yue Yi chose to take the risk to do this at this time. I have to figure out whether the reason behind it has anything to do with me, right?"
Qingtang wanted to say something more, but was pushed out of the room by Bai Wanrou, and Lu Zhu was with her.
"Okay, you two just keep your hearts in your stomach and deal with the jewelry issue first."
Bai Wanrou slept peacefully last night, but she was defeated by the lack of time. Her body had not fully recovered, and she was exhausted just by pushing them out.
It wasn't until she soaked in the warm water that she felt better.
Time passed little by little, and the water gradually turned cold. It was not warm at all, and she was even shivering from the cold. Bai Wanrou almost fell asleep in such water.
If Luzhu hadn't come in to call her out of worry, she might have contracted the cold the next day.
"Lv Zhu, do you think the lady is a little strange? Why does she seem to be resisting us?"
Qingtang helped Bai Wanrou back to the bed to rest with her, but couldn't bear the doubts in her heart, so she asked while no one was in the yard.
"I can't tell you, but no matter what, as long as the lady can be happy."
Even people who know each other very well can't fully understand each other's thoughts, let alone someone as delicate as Bai Wanrou.
Luzhu stirred her hands. In fact, she could feel that although the young lady seemed to hate the prince, if she had it to do over again, she would definitely choose to save the prince.
She has never liked anyone, and she knows that she is not worthy of a lover. She just hopes that her young lady can always be happy and not regret anything.
While Bai Wanrou wrapped herself in quilt and fell asleep, Chen Ruzhi stood up from the bed.
Ever since he became conscious, he rarely procrastinates on anything, and the same goes for getting up in the morning. It was the first time that he took so long to wake up like today.
He stepped off the edge of the bed, and there was still a white and soft warmth on it, a warm touch.
For some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that the two of them could always have such a smooth relationship and live the rest of their lives in an ordinary way.
After realizing how ridiculous this idea was, he sneered and his mood immediately became dull.
"My lord, you finally came out. There is someone outside the yard asking to see you." Lin Yi stepped on the leaves on the ground and made a soft crunching sound.
If the prince doesn't go out, how can he dare to go in and urge him? He can only wait here, not to mention how anxious he is.
He had even thought about it. If the prince remained silent, he would break in and see what was going on.
Fortunately, Chen Ruzhi's appearance saved this wooden door.
"Who?" He was wearing smoky blue clothes today, and his voice was as light as the color.
Lin Yi hesitated for a while, visible to the naked eye, and then hesitantly said: "Yes, it's Miss Yue's girl Xiaotao."
He wasn't sure what his prince's feelings towards Yue Yi were now, but he also knew that he would never be as doting as before.
"Ask her what's the matter. If it's nothing, she's gone."
Perhaps because Yue Yi's name appeared, he didn't have a good impression of this Xiao Tao.
Lin Yi nodded as expected, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't let people in directly just now. Sure enough, he had some foresight.
He told Xiao Tao exactly what Chen Ruzhi said, but the latter looked even more anxious, "This is a very important matter!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi's lips twitched for a moment, but he still couldn't bear to say what he said - anything related to Yue Yi should be of no importance in the eyes of the prince.
"My lord, she still insists on seeing you." How dare he say the words "very important"? If it is a trivial matter, the prince will not be able to peel off his skin?
Chen Ruzhi wrapped a circle of cloth around his hand. He had nothing to do today and was ready to practice martial arts in the yard.
"You go and ask what it is and just convey it to you."
He didn't like his plan to be interrupted by anyone, not to mention that the reason why he was out of his control like that last night was ultimately because of Yue Yi. Now he didn't want this to happen again.
Lin Yi probably didn't expect that he would refuse even like this, so he was stunned for a moment before answering, suddenly feeling a little more guilty towards Xiao Tao who had been waiting there.
When he returned to the yard again, his face was solemn, as if he had learned something terrible.
Chen Ruzhi was practicing martial arts and ignored him. He didn't say anything to urge him, and just kept waiting.
It wasn't until Chen Ruzhi saw him while he was resting that he casually asked, "What did she say to you?"
He originally thought that Yue Yi was playing some little trick again, trying to deceive him, but when he heard Lin Yi's words, he realized that it was not the case.
"She said...Miss Yue gave birth to a son yesterday evening."
Chen Ruzhi lowered his eyelids. No matter how he said it, the child in Yueyi's belly was his. This was an indisputable fact.
He didn't want to vent his anger on a newborn baby, so his expression softened a little, and he realized that he hadn't finished speaking yet, so he asked, "What next?"
Lin Yi opened his lips, and after a while he slowly said: "It's a stillbirth."
At the same time when he heard this sentence, the thing in Chen Ruzhi's hand fell due to loss of strength, but no one picked it up.
He considered himself not a cold-blooded person, but after he recovered, he didn't feel that sad at all.
Are you even glad that this stillborn baby is not Bai Wanrou's?
Chen Ruzhi shook his head, he was simply stunned.
"Let her take a good rest these days, and pay attention to her in the imperial kitchen." He spoke as slowly and unhurriedly as ever, as if everything could be solved easily.
Then something suddenly occurred to him, and he added, "Go and check what happened last night, including the store where you bought the medicine."
Although the mastermind of this matter has almost exposed himself, he currently does not have any evidence.
Moreover, Yueyi had just experienced such a serious incident, so she shouldn't find someone to settle the score with Qiu Hou at this time.
The most important thing is that he vaguely felt that there was some connection between the medicine last night and a few years ago, and he must find out!
Lin Yi paused and added inappropriately: "She also said that Miss Yue would like to meet you."
It is understandable that you want to seek comfort when you are hit, but the mistake is that you are looking for the wrong person.
Let alone a stillbirth, even if she gave birth to a safe and healthy fat boy, he would not necessarily visit her.
"Just say that I have something to do these days and let's talk about it after this period of time has passed."
Being busy was obviously just an excuse. Lin Yi could hear it. After hesitating for a while, he nodded slightly.
He was not qualified to interfere with the prince's feelings, not to mention that he didn't want things like last night to happen again.
No matter what the reason is, declining is better than going.
Thinking of this, he uncontrollably thought of the princess. If it were her, the prince would definitely go.
Xiao Tao had been gone for a long time, and Lin Yi planned to go in and let her know when he passed by.
By coincidence, when he was thinking this, Xiao Tao happened to arrive in front of the room.
She opened the door and saw that Yueyi, who had been sleeping until now, opened her eyes. Her face was no longer fierce, but a little softer.
"Where is my child?"
Her voice was hoarse. She hadn't spoken for such a long time and she had screamed for almost the whole night. Now when she opened her mouth, her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Xiaotao picked up a glass of water and handed it to her, not daring to tell her that the child was gone.
After drinking a glass of water, Yueyi noticed something was wrong before hearing her answer.
"What did you do to my child?"
Although she was the worst to Xiaotao during these days, she knew in her heart that she was very loyal. Counting it all, this was the first time Yueyi had doubted her.
"Little Miss, your child is gone."
Yueyi's panicked look was really scary. Her eyes, disheveled hair, and ferocious face all looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Xiaotao was afraid of being beaten and scolded by her before, but now she was frightened when she saw her like this. She didn't dare to hide it at all and spoke the truth tremblingly.
Hearing the unexpected answer, Yue Yi's heart went cold. What did it mean? Is it what she thought?
My own child... has been gone since birth? How ridiculous!
"Impossible, I don't believe it! My child must still be there!" This chapter has been completed!
