At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Bai Zhi walked in with Feng Ling holding a box.

She took a deep breath, tried her best to suppress the irritation in her heart, walked up to the princess, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, princess."

Chu Mengyao smiled slightly and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Sister, please don't be polite, sit down!

Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong? "

Baizhi forced a stiff smile, then turned around, took the box from Fengling and gently opened it.

I saw a thick stack of papers neatly placed in the box.

Bai Zhi handed the box to Hong Yin and said softly, "Princess, this is the Heart Sutra that I copied a thousand times by hand."

Hong Yin took the box and placed it next to Chu Mengyao.

Chu Mengyao picked it up, flipped through it casually, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

She smiled and said to Bai Zhi, "It's well written. When I go to the temple to burn incense, I will help you bring it to the Buddha and offer it there."

Bai Zhi said gratefully after hearing this: "Thank you, Princess."

Chu Mengyao looked at her and said gently: "Actually, it's not a big mistake. Don't you just want to learn more about the prince through Concubine Shen?

You are her concubine, so it's understandable that you want to know more.

It must have been hard to stay in the yard for the past half month!"

Bai Zhi lowered her head, her eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty, secretly wondering what Chu Mengyao meant by her words.

But she still responded carefully, "Your Majesty, I deserve the punishment. This time, I was wrong."

Chu Mengyao sighed softly and continued, "Hey! It's over now, don't take it to heart.

Although, the prince went to Concubine Shen before punishing you.

But I think there might be some misunderstanding.

Moreover, I believe Concubine Shen should have pleaded for you.

Otherwise, you wouldn't just be punished by being asked to copy the Heart Sutra a thousand times.

I think you also know that she has sold her maid to a faraway place, just to prevent her from returning to Beijing."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She whispered, "Yes, I heard about it."

Then, she sighed again and continued with a sense of self-blame: "Cui Er was also implicated by me.

I don't know where it is sold now.

I hope there is a good place to go!”

After saying this, Bai Zhi's eyes turned slightly red.

It seemed as if she was really worried about the maid named Cui'er.

Chu Mengyao also sighed and said, "Hey! You should stay away from Concubine Shen in the future. She is pregnant now and is very precious.

I have also exempted her from the monthly payment of five o'clock.

I'm afraid she'll make a mistake on the way, and the prince will blame her."

At this time, Bai Zhi finally understood Chu Mengyao's intention.

She thinks she is stupid and wants to use herself as a gun!

So, she showed an angry expression and said bitterly: "Humph, what's so precious about it? We have children in our house.

Let’s wait until she is born safely!”

After she finished speaking, she softened her voice and said to Chu Mengyao: "If I were to say, it's because you, Princess, have such a good temper that you spoiled them.

Previously she was Concubine Su, and now she is Concubine Shen.

If it were someone else, they would have dealt with her long ago.

Which concubine is not obedient to her mistress? "

Chu Mengyao frowned slightly. She obviously didn't expect Bai Zhi to trick her.

She picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth.

Then he said slowly, "Concubine Shen is pregnant with the prince's child, so it's inevitable that people will have more concerns."

"You are so kind, Princess." Bai Zhi complimented with a smile.

There was a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes.

Chu Mengyao saw that Aunt Bai was stubborn and did not act as she had expected.

I couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but I couldn't show it.

So he said calmly: "Okay, you can go back first if you have nothing to do.

I still have a lot of account books that I haven’t looked at yet!

I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Bai Zhi stood up after hearing this and bowed to Chu Mengyao respectfully, saying, "Yes, Princess, you are busy. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, she turned and left.

After Bai Zhi left, Chu Mengyao sneered, with a trace of disdain and contempt in her eyes, "Humph, he looks like a fool, but I didn't expect him to be so smart at the critical moment."

She originally thought that she could easily use Bai Zhi to deal with Shen Jingyi, but she didn't expect that Bai Zhi would not respond.

After Bai Zhi left the main room, she walked back briskly.

It seemed as if the annoyance I felt when I came here had disappeared.

Instead, Feng Ling was full of worries and looked at Bai Zhi worriedly from time to time.

It was not until the two of them returned to Cuiping Courtyard that Feng Ling finally couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, what the princess just said..."

Bai Zhi interrupted her and snorted, "Huh, she thinks I'm stupid!

You want to use my gun? You are dreaming! "

She knew very well in her heart that Chu Mengyao was just trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Let her fight with Shen Jingyi, while she herself reaps the benefits.

Humph! She won't be taken advantage of so easily.
