Chen Ruzhi could hardly utter a word when he saw the look in her eyes that he had prepared. It was as if he was looking at an enemy for many years.
He thought about it, in those days when he least regarded her as a human being, her eyes were only filled with disappointment and a little bit of admiration.
After that, it was her eyes that were so indifferent that they were almost emotionless.
When have you ever had hostility?
Chen Ruzhi raised his hand and pressed his heart, feeling a dull pain there.
He calmed down, suppressed the tenderness and pity in his eyes, and said quietly: "What did you do all day yesterday? At what time?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou lowered her eyelids, as if thinking seriously, "After breakfast in the morning, I stayed in the room making jewelry. At noon, the prince came over, and he stayed in the yard. Later, he went to Guiyun Pavilion to talk about some things.
As for the night, the prince should know all about it."
Yes, not only did he know that, the two of them spent that period of time together.
Thinking of those intimate physical contacts, the tips of Chen Ruzhi's ears turned red, he clenched his fists, and his self-control almost collapsed.
But at the same time, what he asked was even more chilling, "Is there someone to accompany you when you go to Guiyun Pavilion?"
Bai Wanrou went to give the jewelry she had made recently to the store. She thought that the yard could not be left unattended and she also needed some quiet time, so she did not let Lu Zhu and Qingtang follow her.
What do you mean by what you are asking now? Because there are no servants with you, are you using this matter to doubt her?
Bai Wanrou sneered. Her feelings for Chen Ruzhi could be said to be very weak now, so she just asked nonchalantly: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you taking advantage of this opportunity to convict me?"
Unintentionally seeing her white fingers stirring casually, Chen Ruzhi realized that he seemed to be the only one wrapped in nervous emotions.
Anger and unwillingness that he had never felt before suddenly arose spontaneously, and he simply didn't care about anything anymore. His tall body leaned back, giving people a sense of oppression for no reason.
"Princess, if there is someone to testify, I will naturally not cause any trouble."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows. Bai Wanrou was not sure if she had seen it wrong. It seemed to be provoking herself.
She sneered, yes, this is what he meant to cause trouble for himself.
"Yes, no one is with me, I am alone."
She became more and more calm in the face of questions, but Qingtang beside her couldn't bear it. She took a few steps forward and stood between the two of them, her tone was unkind but somewhat restrained.
"My lord, what do you mean by this? Although I did not go out with the princess yesterday, both Lu Zhu and I can testify that the princess is definitely not such a person."
After she finished speaking, she paused and stared at Chen Ruzhi's unchanged face, unconsciously recalling the tragic situation when the young lady came back this morning.
So she said something shocking, "What's more, you, my lord, were so peaceful last night..."
Before she finished speaking, Bai Wanrou and Lu Zhu behind her pulled her at the same time, ending her sentence.
Chen Ruzhi's handsome face, as cold as snow, finally relaxed a little, and he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his earlobe.
Just when he wanted to give it up for today and come back to ask questions later when he found the evidence, a figure broke into the room uninvited.
"My lord, you must not be deceived by this woman's words! My child died so miserably! It must be her. She is jealous of me and is the reason for this!"
Yue Yi's voice was already rather thin, and now that she had deliberately raised her volume, the sound made people feel uncomfortable as if their eardrums were about to be torn.
But she doesn't seem to have this consciousness, so she just doesn't like what she says. She also hangs her long black hair on her back, and part of it falls on her ears, making it look like she is holding a chicken coop on her head.
The most horrifying thing was that her eye sockets were staring out, and the black and blue under the eye sockets completely covered the bit of beauty she still had.
Qingtang, who was closest to the door of the room, saw such a crazy woman-like figure and unconsciously took a few steps back to distance herself from her.
Normally, her behavior would definitely arouse Yue Yi's dissatisfaction, which would inevitably lead to a verbal spat.
However, it was completely different today. Yueyi didn't even look at her at all. She just grabbed Chen Ruzhi's trouser legs with her hands wildly, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, you must return my innocence!"
Things that had not been properly handled were messed up by her, and the trouble became even more serious.
Chen Ruzhi also completely lost his patience. He moved his legs in quietly, without any fluctuation in his voice: "You go back first, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Yue Yi, who had always been docile in front of him, seemed to be a different person this time. Instead of giving up just because of these words, she became even more aggressive.
"No, Prince, you, listen to me, Bai Wanrou must have done this! It's her!"
"My lord, please send someone to check the room. They will definitely find evidence. My lord, you have to believe me!"
Yueyi started to cry when she said it, but such words coupled with her current miserable state did not make people pity her, they only made her feel even more crazy.
In addition, Chen Ruzhi was used to being strong. No one had ever told him "what you must do" since he was a child. Yueyi's words made him upset.
"Princess, do you agree with what she said?"
Chen Ruzhi paused for a while, thinking that she had just spoken to Bai Wanrou, he felt inexplicably angry, and he would deliberately bite the word "princess".
Lin Feng, who was standing behind him, saw this and knew that his prince was unknowingly moved. Even though he knew that Bai Wanrou might have harmed him, he still allowed her to secure her position as princess.
Bai Wanrou raised her eyelids and looked at Yue Yi, who was kneeling on the ground with a shrew-like look on her face, and felt a sense of panic for no reason.
She was silent for a while, then she said with a slight smile: "Whatever the prince thinks is good, then that will be so."
Although she spoke with a smile, there was no smile at all on the corners of her mouth and eyebrows, and there was a faint emptiness in her eyes.
Chen Ruzhi's heart skipped a beat, as if something was gradually getting out of control, "If the princess agrees to the search, I can naturally restore your innocence."
Bai Wanrou nodded. All in all, he just hoped she would agree.
She stood up, took a step back, pointed to the room, and motioned for them to come in.
Seeing this, Qingtang behind him couldn't stand at all, "Princess, how can you agree to such a request? They obviously don't take you seriously, and they don't even have evidence to act like this. It's simply This is too much!"
Qingtang is a man who can't keep his mouth shut, and he is loyal to his young lady in his heart, so he naturally can't bear to look at such things.
Before she could continue to say anything, Bai Wanrou raised her hand to stop her, "Okay, Qingtang, let them go. I remember you said that this jewelry is only a few steps away from being completed. Go get down to business first, be good."
Qingtang clenched her fists. Of course she knew that the young lady said this deliberately to comfort herself, but she was not good at disobeying the young lady.
And she could clearly feel that the atmosphere around her had become colder during the few breaths she had been talking.
She pouted her lips, but had no choice but to give up and let the group of people come in.
The reason why Bai Wanrou didn't stop Chen Ruzhi this time was that she could even be considered a rare obedient person.
It was entirely because she was completely disappointed with Chen Ruzhi.
If she admitted that she had been abused by the wrong person in the past, she had admitted it. If she had misunderstood her and spoiled her concubine and destroyed her wife, she had also admitted it.
But she, Bai Wanrou, is a person of flesh and blood and has her own integrity. She must not allow others to pin unfounded charges on her head.
From the moment he came in today and admitted that he suspected her, Bai Wanrou was extremely disappointed with him.
Or to put it more harshly, it means looking down upon or showing disdain.
That's why she let it go.
She is someone she doesn't like, and nothing she does has any effect on her.
Bai Wanrou pursed her lips and suppressed this unknown emotional change in her heart. The next moment she heard a servant shouting excitedly: "Found it! I found it!"
His voice was loud and rough, and his words caused echoes in the room. Many servants who were looking for something couldn't help but look in his direction, and the chirping sounds filled the whole room.
This sentence frightened Luzhu and Qingtang. They both knew in their hearts what kind of person the young lady was, and it was impossible for them to do such a thing.
But when they looked at the person involved, the latter seemed calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
It was precisely because of these words that Bai Wanrou understood. No wonder, when he saw the moonlight, there would be a bad omen. It seemed to be effective.
She curled her lips and was about to go to see what kind of medicine it was, but unexpectedly, her way was blocked by someone.
I saw Yue Yi reaching out to push her away, and ran to the person excitedly, "Your Majesty, she is indeed here! I knew it was this poisonous woman who did it!"
Listening to her increasingly bold calls to Bai Wanrou, Chen Ruzhi's face completely darkened, "What did you just say?"
Yueyi's original madness returned to normal after seeing his indifference, her eyes kept evading, and after a while she changed the subject: "Your Majesty, please come and see if this is the drug you were given back then."
She reached out and held the white packaging bag in her hands, as if she was holding some unique treasure.
However, Chen Ruzhi only took one look and said firmly: "No, this is not the medicine that I was given back then."
Yue Yi almost subconsciously wanted to refute, how could it be possible? She clearly asked Xiao Tao to run in and put the things away!
But now she didn't dare to reveal the secret at all, and could only continue to play the role of a madman, saying incoherently: "How is it possible? It's impossible, it can't be. This is the trick that the prince fell into back then. I remember it clearly. !”
Bai Wanrou just wanted to laugh when she heard what she said. She said all the things Chen Ruzhi didn't like.
Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, Chen Ruzhi's originally dull expression became even more violent.
"Princess, you hide this kind of medicine secretly, but you have other motives? In other words, what is your purpose?!"
No one paid attention to her, and Yue Yi didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she took up the role of the hostess, arrogantly standing in front of Bai Wanrou.
"I don't know anything about this matter." This was Yue Yi's last words. This chapter has been completed!
