Qingtang raised his head and looked at Luzhu, who shrugged and did not answer.
She knew that her young lady had a big heart, but she didn't know it was so big.
That night, Bai Wanrou was the only one who slept peacefully.
The next morning, as the sun began to rise, the dilapidated wooden door creaked as someone patted it.
"Who?"
Luzhu didn't sleep well and was the first to be woken up. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
What he saw was a face filled with impatience.
The man glanced at her, raised the wooden box in his right hand, and said, "Those who bring breakfast are not hungry, right?"
She looked like she was going to leave if she didn't pick it up quickly, which scared Lu Zhu sober. She could be hungry, but the princess couldn't.
"thank you."
Apart from that, facing this strange but arrogant face, she couldn't say anything else.
Even so, the man was still as proud as if he had conquered something extraordinary.
Lu Zhu shook his head. The servants in the palace were indeed like this, they would act according to the wind.
She entered the room carrying the wooden box, and for a moment she didn't even think about why today's box only had one layer.
"Princess, breakfast is here. You should get up and eat before going to bed."
Lu Zhu thought that the worst meal sent was white porridge, and wanted Bai Wanrou to eat it while it was hot. However, the moment she opened the wooden box, she froze on the spot.
Bai Wanrou looked at her without knowing why. She went to Haosheng to wash up first, and then walked to her side.
So the two of them looked at the three sour buns inside and were speechless.
At the same time, Qingtang was also woken up. He stretched out and caught a glimpse of the steamed buns from the corner of his eye. His face was full of shock, "What is this gift? Can it be eaten by others?"
In fact, it is not impossible to eat this steamed bun, but the people who eat it usually have committed serious crimes or have been thrown into the cold palace.
Oh no, in most cases the food for abandoned concubines in the cold palace is better than this.
Bai Wanrou was calmer than them. She picked up one and looked at it carefully for a while, then asked: "Who ordered it?"
Perhaps her question was too concise and clear, and neither Lu Zhu nor Qingtang responded, and both said "Ah".
She patiently asked again: "When that person came to deliver the things, did he say who gave the order?"
Luzhu suddenly realized, his tone was light, but if you listen carefully you can hear a bit of resentment, "It's the prince."
"Your Majesty, you won't go so far, right?"
Qingtang poked the hard bun, his expression was slightly distorted, and after thinking about it, he became angry, and then added: "It's really too much. No matter what, the young lady is also a princess now, so the punishment is not like this!"
Apparently a series of things that happened recently made her extremely dissatisfied with Chen Ruzhi, and she didn't even lower her voice deliberately when she could speak.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wanrou, who was originally frowning, relaxed after hearing this answer.
"It's the meaning of the moon, right?"
She closed the wooden box and sat back on the edge of the bed again. "If it is really the prince's order, that person will not specifically state it. He may only be instructed by others."
Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of Lu Zhu and Qing Tang, she paused and continued: "Who could do such an obvious intention to sow discord and such a childish and clumsy method?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, their expressions were serious as if they were listening to storytelling, and they said blankly: "Miss Yue."
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows slightly, indicating that this was the case.
Qingtang's face also became darker, "Miss is still smart, but Yueyi... people are like this every day, we can't continue to tolerate it, right?"
She spoke in a hurry and almost blurted out insulting words, but luckily she endured them in the end.
"Of course not." After Bai Wanrou said that, she went out and looked at the tables and chairs at the door. They were all in a state of decay that was about to collapse.
She took a few steps forward and smashed the wooden chair not far outside the yard. Although the chair was almost broken, the sound of hitting the ground was not quiet.
There will be more servants passing by Lengxiangyuan in the morning, and they will shuttle back and forth between the area and the place where they work.
Therefore, it didn't take long for a girl to notice the noise that Bai Wanrou deliberately caused.
She was startled at first and stood far away, but later she saw clearly that the person who did it was the princess. She stood there for a while and then ran in the direction behind her.
Bai Wanrou took in all this scene. She exhaled, put away her hands and returned to the room to wait.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Qingtang witnessed all her actions and couldn't think of any purpose, but he knew that she must have her own reasons for doing things, and there was only curiosity in her tone.
Bai Wanrou patted the remaining dust on her hands, looked back at her, and said: "A servant just went to the prince to file a complaint. Then we will make a show and reveal this matter inadvertently. What's next... evil man
There will be evil people to grind."
Hearing her last words, Qingtang laughed out loud and gave her a thumbs up, "Young lady is wise!"
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, Chen Ruzhi came over full of anger.
Only Lin Yi, who was following him, knew that he was actually a little happy when he first learned the news.
Lin Yi thought to himself that he was happy because he could meet the princess naturally.
He didn't make it clear, but listened to the low voice of this serious person, "What's going on? Is the princess preparing to rebel?"
When he said this, he had not yet stepped through the threshold. When he saw the boxes spread out on the table, his face suddenly became ugly.
He didn't care that Bai Wanrou didn't answer his question, pointed at the three steamed buns, and said, "Who ordered this?"
He had made it very clear before that although she had been punished, the position of the princess had not changed, and her treatment would naturally remain the same.
But what is this thing in front of me? Few of the servants in the palace have fallen into such a situation!
Chen Ruzhi felt sullen in his heart. In addition, his facial contours were clear, and any expression was obvious on it.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to check it out right now." Lin Yi bowed his body and retreated, with lingering fear in his heart.
The prince's appearance can make people tremble in fear no matter what time he looks at it. In real life, it can scare people who have done nothing wrong to the point of peeing in their pants.
It was not difficult to find out who was delivering breakfast today. All it took was a trip to the imperial kitchen, so Lin Yi left as quickly as he came.
The difference is that this time he brought someone with him - a submissive maid.
Bai Wanrou shook her head, this child seemed to be well-behaved and obedient, how could he be bribed by Yueyi?
In comparison, Chen Ruzhi's attitude was much tougher, and he raised his head slightly, "Have I ever ordered such a meal for the princess?"
The man was probably timid. Without asking, he trembled and said in one sentence: "Misunderstanding, Your Majesty, Miss Yue asked me to do this. I really didn't have this intention!"
In order to prove her innocence, she even took out the money Yueyi bribed her with.
Chen Ruzhi's heart almost sank. He used to think that Yue Yi was a very sensible girl with a gentle and well-behaved personality.
Now it seems...not quite so.
He lowered his eyelids and said, "Send someone to call Yueyi."
Since that punishment, he has called Yue Yi by her real name in front of his servants, which can be regarded as telling them: Yue Yi is no longer a young lady, not even a girl.
"What? You said the prince wants to see me?"
Yue Yi did not expect that her plot would be exposed so early, and she happily thought that Chen Ruzhi had changed his gender and had lost interest in Bai Wanrou.
In addition, the person who came to deliver the message was somewhat paralyzed and could not see his emotions or distinguish them.
She had taken good care of herself, and if it weren't for Chen Ruzhi's impatient waiting, she might have been able to wait for another hour.
"My lord, why did you call me here? Oh, there are so many people here, it's really lively today."
Yueyi saw the formation inside at the entrance of the hall, but she still pretended to say something serious.
No one answered her question, and there was only one sentence floating in the air, "You deliberately tampered with the princess's meal. Is this true?"
Hearing this, Yueyi's heart skipped a beat, as expected, it was because of this matter.
She sniffed, pretending to be aggrieved, and waited there for a few moments before a female voice that did not belong to her sounded.
"No, I think the princess, what the princess... did this time is really too much, and I want to teach her a lesson."
She was stumbling when speaking, and her eyes were constantly darting around, like a thief caught by her master.
If you really believe this expression, she would be an idiot.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ruzhi chuckled and suddenly thought of a very feasible solution.
He hid his smile, but his voice was still dull, "Come here, because Xiao Tao has repeatedly disobeyed the rules of the palace, and has committed the following offenses, I will give you a section of Bai Ling."
Bai Ling, which means granting death, Xiao Tao had never thought that the consequences would be so serious before, and was shocked on the spot.
"No, Your Majesty, my crime will not lead to death, I hope Your Majesty will spare me this time!"
Xiaotao's tone was urgent. The reason why she chose to follow Yueyi before was because she hoped that she could fly onto the branches and become a phoenix and lead her to live a good life together.
But why are things getting out of control now?
Her heart was beating rapidly, and she vaguely heard a voice, "Well, since you are really pitiful, let's change it to a fifty-year-old board from the Department of Punishment."
The words "Shen Xing Division" hit Xiao Tao like a heavy hammer.
A normal servant in the palace would be able to kill half of his life by fifty pieces, let alone the punishment department?
Even for his subordinates Lin Feng and Lin Yi, who suffered fifty major blows in the past, their chances of surviving were very slim.
And if she, a weak woman with no strength, could really go into that hellish place, could she still come out alive?
No, no, no matter how you think about it, it's a dead end. Xiao Tao bit her lower lip with her teeth and looked helplessly at Yueyi, who had nothing to do with her.
She knew that with Yueyi's character, she would weigh the pros and cons before making a choice, but she really had no other choice now.
At the same time, Yueyi, who received that look, was thinking, did she want to take this opportunity to expose herself?
Absolutely not, her affairs and secrets cannot be exposed!
Thinking of this, she raised her hand to stop the strong men's movements, "Your Majesty, Xiaotao is mine no matter what, so it's better to leave it to me, right?"
She probably expected that he would most likely not agree, so Yue Yi specifically used the bitter trick, "Besides, I just lost my child and am now weak. I really need someone like Xiao Tao to take care of me." This chapter has been completed!
