"Huh?" She changed the subject so quickly that the question sounded like a nonsensical statement.
Chen Ruzhi asked in a deep voice, and it took a moment to realize that she actually knew what he was thinking.
He was not good at lying and was not used to hiding things, so he simply nodded openly, "Yes."
Bai Wanrou's expression didn't look surprised at all, but instead contained some emotions that he couldn't see.
"If it's because of Princess Yunxia, Your Majesty, you don't have to work so hard. I will take the initiative to pretend to be in love with you outside."
Hearing her say this in a calm tone, Chen Ruzhi felt an inexplicable sourness well up in his heart.
Especially the pretended affection in the second half of the sentence, it hurts like someone pinching the flesh on the tip of the heart.
He turned his head slightly and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "I have my own sense of what I do. All you have to do is take care of yourself."
It was clear that this was not what he wanted to say in his heart, but for some reason, he just wanted to see if Bai Wanrou still had feelings for him.
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows, "Of course I have nothing to do with the prince. I just hope that the prince will not do such troublesome things to me in the future."
There was no sadness in her words, and there was no trace of the way she had begged her when she first entered the house.
"It's getting late, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." She bent down and saluted.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that with her current position as princess, there was no need to bow to him as a prince.
But she still did it, as if the two were not an intimate couple, but strangers separated by a copper wall.
Chen Ru subconsciously wanted to stop her, but the voice that came out of his mouth was extremely low and disappeared into the air in an instant, while Bai Wanrou's quick steps did not show any hesitation.
"Ahem," Lin Feng cleared his throat and walked up from behind him, "Your Majesty, actually I think what the princess just said..."
He originally wanted to say a few nice words for Bai Wanrou and ease the unclear atmosphere between the two, but he received a cold look from Chen Ruzhi, which scared him so much that he trembled and suddenly changed his words:
"It is indeed a lack of consideration. How could the prince, who is so talented, not have his own plan?"
While talking, he glanced at Chen Ruzhi out of the corner of his eye. He didn't look happy at all. He still looked depressed. Those who didn't know it thought he was hurt by love.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Feng felt that this was correct. The love, hatred and hatred between the young couple could be regarded as hurt by love.
Chen Ruzhi ignored him, showed no sign of his obvious flattery, and walked into the room minding his own business.
At that time, Lin Yi happened to come back from practicing martial arts. Seeing Lin Feng's sad face, he casually asked, "Why, have you made the prince unhappy again?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng turned his head back, and his pair of sword-shaped eyebrows were tightly knitted together, like an inseparable line.
"I'm just curious. Both Miss Yue and the prince have taken traditional Chinese medicine, but no matter which one of them it is, it doesn't seem like the princess did it. Why does the prince keep her in Lengxiangyuan?"
Although it is true that Bai Wanrou has returned to her own courtyard now, this is just a means to deal with Princess Yunxia.
I just don’t know if the princess can continue to live her own stable life after Lei Lei and Lei Yunxia return to Xiling.
Lin Yi wiped away the sweat from his forehead, "Don't you know the prince well? Let me tell you, he is most likely jealous."
"Jealous?" Lin Feng knew what this word meant, but until now, he had never associated this word with Chen Ruzhi.
"Yes, otherwise why has he been so weird lately? Do you have other ideas?"
Lin Feng shook his head, he just asked Lin Yi because he didn't expect it.
"I advise you not to think about this matter anymore. Although the prince has not yet understood his feelings for the princess, he can still distinguish right from wrong."
A very light breeze blew by, Lin Yi raised his hand and patted him
Without saying anything more, he turned around and entered the room.
At the same time, Bai Wanrou had returned to her yard, "Qingtang, how is Xiaotao doing now?"
She closed the door behind her to prevent the spy arranged by her father from knowing about it.
"I have already asked a doctor to see Xiao Tao, but she sank in the well water for a long time, and her body was not strong enough. Almost half of her life was lost."
Qingtang said it was serious, but she did not exaggerate the facts. She even made a special trip to see Dr. An from Tai Hospital to diagnose Xiao Tao's injuries.
Hearing this, Lu Zhu also added casually, "Yes, Dr. An said at the time that she was almost dead and is now recovering from her injuries."
"Mr. An?" Bai Wanrou didn't care much at first. She didn't have a very good impression of Xiao Tao. The reason why she was rescued was just for her own plan.
But Dr. An was the person her brother found for her. If Bai Qingting knew about this, wouldn't it mean...
Before she could think about what was going on, Qingtang quickly interrupted her worries, "Yes, and he also specifically told us two that Master Bai doesn't know about this yet."
Bai Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bai Qingting was not particularly reliable in doing things, at least he would not lie to herself.
Since he said Bai Fengqi didn't know, he must have made his own preparations.
"How long will it take to recover? Is she awake now?"
Bai Wanrou has her own ideas and is eager to see Xiao Tao, but she also knows that this process cannot be rushed. After all, Xiao Tao is not in a normal body now.
"Humans are naturally in a drowsy state. According to Dr. An, it's not certain when they will wake up." Qingtang didn't know what she was thinking and didn't care much about this issue.
She showed the jewelry she had successfully made to Bai Wanrou, "Miss, look, I think my craftsmanship has improved a lot recently."
Bai Wanrou lowered her head and glanced, she was never stingy with praise, and Qingtang was also making real progress, "It's much better, she'll catch up with me soon."
"No way, it's still far from the level of young lady." Qingtang said shyly and coyly.
In fact, Bai Wanrou hasn't studied much longer than her. If you really want to count, both of them are still in the entry-level stage.
But Qingtang has become accustomed to the "hero" image of the young lady in front of him, so he naturally takes it for granted that she is outstanding in all aspects.
Today can be regarded as the most extraordinary day in the palace. Some people are happy and some are sad.
While Bai Wanrou and the three of them were joking around in the room, Yueyi already looked like a crazy shrew.
She smashed everything in the room that could be smashed, and because the door was locked, she couldn't break it open no matter how hard she smashed it.
Her hysterical screams came out from the other side of the door, frightening everyone who heard them.
Unfortunately, this behavior did not last for a period of time, but happened every once in a while. The two servants guarding the door were already on the verge of collapse.
Lu Yi was responsible for delivering Yue Yi's dinner. After hearing the news, she was frightened and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of stimulation did Miss Yue receive?"
It is true that she was punished and demoted, but because Chen Ruzhi was so doting on her before, no one in the palace now dares to disrespect her openly, fearing that she will one day regain her status.
You will get yourself into trouble.
"How do we know? She is like a crazy woman. It is said that the prince is too kind to the princess. I guess she is jealous."
One of the servants touched his chin and spoke eloquently.
His voice also reached Yueyi's ears at the same time, and her calm heart suddenly became turbulent again.
"Who said I'm jealous of her! Who is she, Bai Wanrou, and she deserves to be looked at by me?"
Yueyi slapped the table with her palm. There was not much noise, but her hand hurt for a long time.
She is not afraid that people outside will sue because of this sentence. She knows very well that Chen Ruzhi is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
What do you say?
He had just lost his son, so no matter how cruel he was, he would not be punished more harshly than being put in solitary confinement.
This is also the reason Yueyi has been cursing Bai Wanrou every day and emboldening her to be a villain.
Lu Yi outside the door heard this, her hand holding the food box trembled, she put the things on the ground and walked away quickly.
"Hey, Lan Zin, did you see that? I just said that the prince has been too kind to the princess these days. Even Yue Yi was so angry. What if I don't have the opportunity to contact the prince in the future?"
Far away from the courtyard where Yue Yi lived, there was no one around, and Lu Yi had no intention of calling her Miss Yue anymore.
Just thinking about Bai Wanrou politely rejecting her, she still felt a little depressed and angry.
Lan Zhen's hand was wrapped by her, and the warm feeling spread from her palm to her chest. She couldn't help but advise: "We are just two girls, it's better not to miss the prince."
Knowing that Lu Yi would never give up so easily, she continued: "A person as cold and noble as the prince has no fate with us."
But who is Lu Yi? Will he be convinced by her with just a few words?
Not only did Lan Zin's dissuasion have no effect, but it made her feel even more blocked. A surge of lofty ideals came out, "I still want the prince to look at me with admiration. No matter what others say, my goal is the princess."
Location!"
It is impossible to say that she does not understand Chen Ruzhi. She has been in the palace for such a long time, and she knows more or less even from listening to other people's comments.
It was precisely because he was taciturn and brave and good at fighting that Lu Yi made up his mind to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Lan Zin's pursuits were different from hers, and her personality was also very different. He was not good at talking. When he saw her like this, he just sighed and said nothing more.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor said that there is a palace banquet in the palace today, and he wants you and the princess to attend it together." Lin Yi had just received the news and said to Chen Ruzhi under great pressure.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the temperature around him seemed to have become extremely cold, and he felt that he could not even hear the prince's voice clearly.
"Why do you want the princess to go with you?"
"Ahem, the Crown Prince and Princess Yunxia will also be present at this dinner."
The implication is that it's okay for Bai Wanrou not to go, it depends on whether you can tolerate Princess Yunxia's expression of love.
Chen Ruzhi's eyebrows skipped a beat. He was really good at finding trouble. He held a banquet for the brother and sister, so there was another palace banquet. This chapter has been completed!
