Two different voices sounded in the air at the same time, with the same content. The only difference was that the female voice was casual and lazy, while the male voice was obviously angry.

Bai Wanrou thought that since they met Chen Ruzhi, they had never said a word in unison with such a tacit understanding.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the person sitting next to her, and suddenly realized that although she had loved him for so long, she had never really understood him.
When Lei Yunxia made this outrageous and unreasonable request, she had already expected that Chen Ruzhi would not agree.
Because people like him don't care about their children's personal affairs at all. The reason why he gave Yueyi the position of Princess Yueyi in the past, and even gave himself the title of doting on concubines and destroying wives, was just because he misunderstood Yueyi at that time.
He's just his savior.
Now that he knows that he might be the one who really saved him, he naturally becomes indifferent to Yue Yi and treats her better.
Later, she fell into the position of Lengxiangyuan because of Yueyi's deliberate frame-up.
Bai Wanrou even thought just now that he might have gotten over this matter carelessly and would not refuse it clearly.
She knew very well in her heart that a person like him would never treat the princess of Xiling like that for his own sake, and he would maintain outward respect no matter what.
But his reaction was so quick and even exciting that she couldn't understand him.
She always believed that Chen Ruzhi, as a first-generation general, had a very clear mind and was definitely smarter than ordinary people. Logically speaking, he couldn't do such a stupid thing.
But he did it anyway.
Does he really have such deep feelings for himself now?
This idea emerged unconsciously in Bai Wanrou's mind, like a sprout growing from a seed buried deep in her heart.
"The prince is really indifferent. He is not even willing to give us such a small amount of kindness, so there is no need to say anything more. Let's go."
Lei Ting's face had completely turned cold, and the anger could be clearly heard in his voice. Compared to Chen Ruzhi's words, he was just as generous.
He stood up from the chair without hesitation, but Lei Yunxia beside him did not want to move. She even tugged on his sleeve and whispered:
"Brother, let's stay a little longer."
The soft-spoken person she spoke now was completely different from the domineering image she had just now. She seemed timid and cowardly with a bit of fear mixed in.
Bai Wanrou lowered her eyelids. It seemed that Lei Lei was also a ruthless person in Xiling.
As expected, he just silently lowered his head and glanced at Lei Yunxia, who then stood up obediently with his mouth pursed.
"My lord, please think carefully about what I say. I am sincere to you!"
At the moment before she walked out, Lei Yunxia turned around and shouted. The movement of Lei Lei behind her was no longer visible in the temple, but one could tell that her body was shaking as a result.
"Your Majesty, since the guest has left, I will take my leave first." Bai Wanrou's expression showed no emotion, and her voice was also light, as if it would be dispersed in the air the next moment.
Chen Ruzhi raised his hand, wanting to stop her from staying here for a while, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he even lifted his hand from the handle of the chair, but still put it back.
At that time, Lin Yi was coming in from the door after seeing off the guests and met Bai Wanrou. From the corner of his eye, he saw her heading towards Lengxiang Courtyard without thinking.
He stayed where he was and was stunned. There was an unwritten rule in the palace. People who entered the Lenghianxiang Courtyard could not come out until they were pardoned.
Once the prince allows entry and exit, by default, you can directly return to the place where you lived before.
The princess has stayed in the palace for such a long time, is it possible that she doesn't know about this?
Lin Yi couldn't think of a reason, so he immediately forgot about the matter, didn't take it to heart, and walked to Chen Ruzhi normally to report.
In Lengxiang Courtyard, Qingtang welcomed the person into the room, "Miss, why are you doing this? In fact, you don't need to come back..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted, "I know, Qingtang, please leave this matter alone."
"How can this be possible, miss? I just heard about it, from Xiling. (The next page is more exciting!)
Princess Yunxia came to see the prince. It is said that she seems to have been deeply in love with the prince before!"
This was probably the news that Qingtang heard from someone unknown. He was so excited that people who didn't know about it might actually believe it after hearing it.
"That's all, I just want to be reconciled. Being excommunicated is just a bit of a bad reputation, and it doesn't matter to me."
Bai Wanrou paused for a moment, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She even thought that Chen Ruzhi would be abducted by Princess Yunxia, and she would be able to escape in advance.
If Chen Ruzhi knew what she was thinking in her heart at this time, she would be so angry that she could not speak——
Before, it was her wish to force the emperor to issue an imperial edict; then it was her choice to make a noise and make him believe her; but now? She is thinking about divorce regardless of it.
What is the best thing to say about her?
It's a pity that although Chen Ruzhi doesn't know the messy thoughts behind her, he really heard what she said.
Because he and Lin Yi were standing in front of the gate of Lengxiangyuan.
The door here is old and dilapidated, unable to block any scene or Bai Wanrou's voice.
The reason why he came here was because Lin Yi mentioned it casually when reporting to him.
But when did he start traveling across half of the palace just to confirm Bai Wanrou's behavior because of a simple remark?
Chen Ruzhi felt that he was crazy, really crazy. His voice was a little dull, making everyone who listened feel breathless, "Let's go."
Dusk fell quickly, and Bai Wanrou still had a good night's sleep. In the entire palace, Chen Ruzhi was the only one who stayed awake the whole night.
It wasn't until the emperor's edict came down the next day, calling them into the palace, that Chen Ruzhi began to regain consciousness.
He had expected to enter the palace a long time ago. When Thunder came to the capital, he couldn't hide or escape. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
So on the way to the palace, he was very calm and composed, and his cold appearance made Lin Yi, who was sitting next to him, feel a long-lost familiarity.
It was like the prince I first met had finally returned.
"I have met your Majesty." Chen Ruzhi's tall and straight posture, coupled with the same expression as on the battlefield, made him look as if he had been completely transformed.
The emperor raised his voice in one breath, as if he was afraid that he would rebel, and his smile was extremely forced, "Just come. I'm waiting for you here. Sit down."
Chen Ruzhi has delicate features and a scholarly temperament in everyone around him. However, this person is taciturn, which makes his temperament even better, and others cannot imitate him.
"I heard that Lei Lei went to the palace to look for you yesterday evening? Why?"
His answer was not secretive, "Probably to find a marriage partner for Princess Yunxia."
It is not unusual for Princess Yunxia of Xiling to like Prince Jian'an of the capital. After all, the two countries are enemies, so if they were related, they would not be able to hide it from anyone.
It's just that the emperor probably didn't expect that he would explain this kind of thing on the spot, and it was a little unnatural to sit on the dragon throne.
But soon he asked: "Okay, don't be humble. Who doesn't know that Princess Yunxia only likes you?"
Chen Ruzhi's body remained motionless, but the words he spoke were not at all like his frozen movements. Instead, they were particularly warm, "It's a pity that I only like my princess."
The emperor laughed sarcastically. This answer really left no way for anyone to survive.
However, as he is on the throne, he has seen many more things than this, so to be honest, it is not a shock.
"Really? I remember that when I offered you marriage before, you were still unwilling in every possible way, but now you are so proactive?"
The tone of his words was teasing, but the two people present knew in their hearts that there was a sting in his words.
Chen Ruzhi did not answer immediately, but his hands that seemed to be frozen in ice finally moved, "Probably, he was moved by her."
The answer was very general, and it was precisely this generality that prevented the emperor from directly finding any fault.
"I can't interfere with your feelings. Let's talk about something else. I've prepared a dinner for Lei Lei and Princess Yunxia tonight. You can also attend."
Under the seemingly amiable face. (The next page will be more exciting!)
, what is hidden is his imperative coercion.
Chen Ruzhi knew he couldn't refuse, "This is natural. No\./wrong\./updated\./new`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`.o`.m"
Bai Wanrou thought that he was right before. He was indeed smart. Just like now, although he promised the emperor to attend the dinner, he didn't say that he couldn't leave early during the dinner, right?
As a result, Lei Yunxia didn't even see Chen Ru once from beginning to end in the palace.
"Lin Yi, let the princess move back to her yard tomorrow."
He paused for a moment, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and then added: "If she insists on staying in Lengxiangyuan, then let the place be tidied up again."
Lin Yi was so shocked by the news that he couldn't recover.
The existence of Lenxiangyuan was originally to retain some abandoned concubines, so letting the princesses who have not yet left the palace to live in it already subverted the common perception.
Now the prince actually says that he wants to tidy up that place? Isn't this a mess?
Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to persuade him to be cautious, but then he remembered the first half of his sentence, and immediately understood why he went to such trouble.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I promise to deliver the message."
It was already very late now, and the room was a long way from Lengxiangyuan. I was afraid that the repeated visits would not be enough for him to talk.
Therefore, Lin Yi naturally left this matter until the next day.
Or maybe it was because Bai Wanrou was still a little dazed when she woke up the next day, so she didn't react when she heard his words.
She opened her lips, but hesitated, "You said the prince wants me to move back to my own yard?"
After seeing Lin Yi nodding, she frowned again and continued to ask tentatively: "And you want to clean up Lengxiangyuan for me?"
Lin Yi hesitated for a while. Although this statement seemed a bit embellished, it shouldn't have much impact, right?
He raised his head, scratched the back of his head, and nodded again, completely confusing Bai Wanrou.
In fact, except for the more remote location and simpler rooms, the rest of Lenghiangyuan is not much different from the previous courtyard.
So she didn't want to go back and forth again just for this matter.
But she is the one who wants to make peace with her after all, and it takes a lot of effort to clean up Lengxiangyuan, so there is no need to find things for the servants to do.
"Okay, I will go back.". This chapter has been completed!
