Chapter 25: Night Dive
"It's okay, didn't you just say that the imperial dining room made delicious today?"
"But Miss, you can't skip dinner, how can your body stand it like this?"
There was a bit of anxiety in Luzhu's tone.
Bai Wanrou also knew that she was really worried about herself, and she didn't want her to look like this, so she had to let Qingtang tell everything that happened in Dali Temple.
Then she wanted to continue to elaborate, but was stopped by Bai Wanrou raising her hand.
It's not a good thing that Green Bamboo knows so much, and maybe it may lead to some trouble.
But at this time, Luzhu also understood why the two of them couldn't eat.
"Miss, you're working so hard today, why don't I help you get a massage!"
She often massaged Bai Wanrou when she was in the Hou Mansion before, but now she is already proficient.
Qingtang stood aside and watched, she looked at Bai Wanrou's eyes, knowing in her heart that she would have something to do later, so she simply didn't leave.
At night, after Luzhu fell asleep, Bai Wanrou left the palace with Qingtang.
Lin Yi has been secretly following them, especially at night.
Now that they are leaving, they are naturally the first to report to Chen Ruzhi.
However, he didn't expect that it was only for such a short time that he had followed them, and Bai Wanrou had already raised her eyes to look over here.
Although he knew that she probably didn't find out, he was also a little shocked in his heart.
He had never known that the princess was such a sensitive person to sight.
"Lord Wang, Miss and Qingtang just secretly left the palace."
"Send a few men to protect them."
Lin Yi looked up, he felt that he was becoming more and more confused about what Chen Ruzhi was thinking.
In the past, when he encountered this kind of thing, didn't he say that it would be good to let himself follow alone?
Why do you need a few more people to protect this time?
Sensing the confusion in Lin Yi's eyes, Chen Ruzhi explained, "No matter what she says, she is now sitting in the position of the princess, and I still have to fulfill my responsibilities." ”
Lin Yi nodded, this is the consistent style of the prince.
He took a few guards to follow Bai Wanrou all the way in the dark.
"Miss, where are we going?"
Bai Wanrou has been taking Qingtang with her on recent trips, and she has gradually become accustomed to the mode of her young lady running east and west.
It's just that every time I pass through an unfamiliar road, I can't help but ask questions.
"Let's go back to the Hou Mansion and have a look."
Qingtang nodded, and then reacted that she was walking behind, Bai Wanrou couldn't see her movements, and said yes.
The two of them slid all the way to the Hou Mansion with a slight hunched waist, and after arriving, they did not go to the gate, but walked in from the hole that Chen Ruzhi had sneaked into before.
It was a pain for the group of guards who followed them.
It's a bit difficult to get through a hole that can only be passed through one person without making any sound.
After they entered, Bai Wanrou took her to the library first.
This morning, she found out in Bai Qingting, and now her father is waiting in the library.
If it was too late today, it would be impossible for him to suddenly run to Dali Temple again.
So when I came to find someone by myself, the first target was the library.
It turns out that Bai Wanrou was right, in the Hou Mansion where there was no light, only the book pavilion was still lit.
She slowed her steps and walked to the door of the library, and Qingtang behind her had a little effort, and walked more easily than her.
There was some noise in the library, probably Bai Fengqi was talking to others.
His middle-aged voice was mixed with a deep and deep voice, which was a bit strangely good.
However, the words that came out of his mouth made people shiver all over their bodies and tremble uncontrollably.
"The peasant girl killed by His Royal Highness the Prince, find a time to dispose of her, the corpse or something, I hope it doesn't appear again."
"Oh yes, also, let's see if we can find her relatives, go to the residence of the prince's palace to make trouble, and make others suspect that she is blackmailing for money by herself."
It is probably not the first time that Bai Fengqi has dealt with this kind of thing, and his sophisticated and mature voice is very reassuring, and it is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hand over this kind of matter to him.
Bai Wanrou stayed outside the door and listened, in fact, her heart was already shocked, but at this time she couldn't say anything or do anything, she could only wait quietly.
On the contrary, it was Qingtang, she never thought that Bai Fengqi would really be such a person, with her feet back, and the sound of stepping on the wooden board was particularly abrupt in the silent night.
"Who? Get out and check it out! ”
This will make Bai Fengqi a little flustered, you know, if the person who came to investigate him heard what he just said, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, in fact, Bai Wanrou did not belong to the people who came to investigate him, but she did not stop feeling uncomfortable because of those words.
Hearing the footsteps in the room, Bai Wanrou knew that they were coming out, and immediately pulled Qingtang to hide.
"Give me a thorough investigation of the entire Hou Mansion, and find that person too!"
Bai Fengqi didn't know that they came together in two people, but thought that one of them was eavesdropping outside the door.
Bai Qingting was woken up by such a big movement, but the first time he woke up, Bai Fengqi actually asked him to take someone to search together.
Bai Wanrou hid in the dark to see his attitude towards his brother, and her heart that had just sunk was a little colder.
"Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that led to this result."
"Shhhhh
Bai Wanrou didn't mean to blame her, but in the current situation, if they spoke, it was only possible for others to discover earlier.
Bai Fengqi's people almost searched the Hou Mansion and found no one.
"Master Hou, I really didn't find it."
I don't know how many times I came up to report it, and every time I heard it was, "Keep checking for me!" ”
It can be seen that Bai Fengqi has indeed moved his character this time.
Bai Wanrou was shocked, if this was the case, the two of them would very likely be discovered at that time.
What to do......
Thinking of Bai Qingting, her eyes lit up, and when she saw that he was walking towards her, Bai Wanrou deliberately made some noise to attract his attention.
"Who's there?"
After he came over, before he could react, he was pulled aside by Bai Wanrou.
"Brother, it's me!"
Bai Qingting saw her eyebrows clearly in the dark, and she couldn't close her mouth in shock.
"You...... Why are you here?! ”
Thinking that his father had called him over because he wanted to search for the thief, he was a little worried.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Bai Wanrou knew that he asked because she was worried about herself, but now she had no way to tell him the real situation.
What's more, Fang Cai himself is so disillusioned with his father, I'm afraid he will not believe it as much as he does when he learns the truth.
So Bai Wanrou didn't say anything, but made Bai Qingting anxious.
"Sister, shouldn't you come here to eavesdrop on your father's secret for some petty profits?"
Now Bai Qingting doesn't know the truth, so he simply thinks that Bai Fengqi's secret just involves too many powerful people.
Bai Wanrou shook her head, thinking in her heart about what to say now.
She didn't want her brother to get involved in it too soon.
"Brother, don't talk so much now, can you find a way to let those people go? I need to get out of here. ”
Bai Qingting has never refused any of her requests, and now it is no exception.
After struggling for a moment, almost just a few breaths, he agreed to Bai Wanrou's request.
"Okay, I'll figure out how to do these things, you guys leave first."
Bai Qingting left with his own people, and the people behind couldn't see Bai Wanrou because of the obstruction, so they all thought that he had returned in vain.
"Father, I searched my place three times, but I didn't see anyone."
Bai Fengqi's face sank, and it seemed that even his eyebrows were a little impatient.
He thought of what he had just heard, and glanced at the floor again.
Could it be that there is really no one?
"Let's all disperse today."
As soon as he gave the order, those subordinates dared to leave, Bai Fengqi looked at Bai Qingting, who deliberately yawned and pretended to be very sleepy.
"Father, I'm really tired after a tiring day today, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Seeing him nodding, Bai Qingting left, while Bai Fengqi himself continued to return to the Library.
It seems that I am now going to speed up the pace of solving this matter.
Bai Wanrou and the others were waiting outside, not knowing what was happening, but Bai Qingting dared to come out of his room to meet them in a hurry.
"Sister, you didn't say it in the Hou Mansion just now, why did you come over, and it's still this time?"
Bai Wanrou knew that he had some doubts about himself, but it was definitely not Bai Fengqi's kind, and he should be very easy to fool the past.
Just now, taking advantage of the time when he was dealing with Bai Fengqi, Bai Wanrou thought of a good excuse.
"Brother, I didn't do anything, but I was deducted too seriously in the palace, so I wanted to come back and take out the silver taels hidden in my father's library, but I never thought that I would be treated as a thief by his old man."
She deliberately made a very squeamish expression when she spoke, and sure enough, Bai Qingting didn't have the slightest doubt about it.
He even looked a little happy.
He subconsciously touched Bai Wanrou's head, but this time he quickly moved his hand away.
"Oh, sister, you said it earlier, isn't it just a silver ticket, I have a lot here, you can use it all, I can't use it alone."
Bai Qingting took out all the silver tickets from his pocket.
He doesn't need to use the silver ticket at the moment, so he is naturally not in a hurry.
But my sister is different.
is in the palace and is still a princess, from time to time you have to reward your subordinates, not to mention some ordinary little things, large and small, you have to use silver tickets.
Bai Qingting thought he was very thoughtful.
However, he didn't expect his sister, who had never lied, because this incident had been coaxing him.
Bai Wanrou put his silver ticket on her body, and did not refuse, but her voice changed a little, and she became a little choked.
"Brother, why are you so good to me, and I'm not afraid that I deliberately cheated you of the silver ticket?"
"You're my sister, how can you not even have this trust?!"
But it was really not early now, and Bai Qingting was about to leave after only saying a few words.
And Bai Wanrou really shed tears, not because of these silver tickets, but simply because of her brother's unconditional trust in her.
