Chapter 105 Don’t you have to help the housekeeper with work?
"Monster?" Bu Ruo pointed at her nose barefoot, "Although I am good-looking, how can I be a monster? I am obviously..." the Holy Spirit.
The word "Holy Spirit" was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it.
"Not allowed to speak?"
Bu Ruo smacked her lips and suddenly shouted, "I am... I am... I am..."
Jin Congcong bravely walked out from behind Bi'er and touched Bu Ruo's forehead: "It's okay, is she crazy? Otherwise... I'll go call my master, otherwise how can Ruo'er go to Beining in such a crazy state? It's hard for her to even get out of the North City Gate."
Bu Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not sick. If you don't allow me to say it, is it okay if I don't say it?"
"Princess, let's put on our shoes first. The ground is cold."
After Bi'er helped Bu Ruo put on the shoes, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Princess. The prince has already taken care of this matter."
"Mo Bao said this was probably the work of the Crown Prince and the Emperor, in order to divert attention from yesterday's prayer day. It would be even better if the people could burn the princess, killing two birds with one stone."
"After all, anyone practicing evil in the Great Zhou Dynasty is punishable by law. Even if the other party has no evidence, any clue will arouse the anger of the people."
Bu Ruo sat on the stone bench and squinted his eyes: "I know this. I saw it in a book in Xiao Yulan's study."
"That... seems to be from the second generation of the Xiao royal family. A group of cultivators came from nowhere. They deceived the people, robbed their property and women, and did all sorts of evil things except eating children. They also managed to make the people join them without them even realizing it, causing many families to be destroyed. They were extremely hateful."
"Just as the Xiao family was searching for talented individuals, a woman appeared from nowhere. With a wave of her hand, the entire Great Zhou was covered with flowers. Those who had lost their minds gradually regained their composure after smelling the fragrance of the flowers."
"The woman didn't say a word from beginning to end. No one knew where she came from or where she went... Later, a commoner who was lucky enough to see her painted her, and now she is enshrined in the royal ancestral temple."
"From then on, all the people of the Great Zhou hated those who practiced evil magic. Once, a neighbor in a village discovered someone practicing evil magic. The next day, the neighbor gathered the entire village and burned the person to death on a bonfire."
"So when the Crown Prince and the Emperor learned that Xiao Yulan had recovered and I didn't have to be buried alive with him... they wanted to kill me."
"After all, if I were to be attacked by the people and die at their hands, even Second Senior Brother would have no reason to avenge me."
"Hmm... I'm suddenly interested in that woman who came through the air back then. Jin Congcong, do you know where the prince is now?"
Jin Congcong nodded: "I know, the prince is in the study now. When I passed by, I saw that the study was very lively, with people coming in and out constantly."
Bu Ruo felt a little warm in her heart: "Let's go and take a look."
Jin Congcong stood in front of Bu Ruo and said, "Ruo'er, you are only going to the study to see the prince. You are not going out, right?"
"Yeah, I'm not going out today because I have nothing to do. Hey, get out of the way. Why are you blocking me?"
Jin Congcong said cautiously, "Um...just now when I came here, I happened to run into Butler Qin on the road. The butler said that there are now some ignorant people making a commotion at the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion, and some of them may be spreading rumors, so he asked you not to go out."
After Bu Ruo said that she would definitely not go out, she took Bier to the study.
"Ruo'er, now that you're here, have you heard about it?"
After Xiao Yulan and the others left, he took Bu Ruo in his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, give me a few days and I will definitely settle this matter. It will be fair to return Ruo'er. Our Ruo'er is a fairy, not a monster."
Bu Ruo didn't care much about it. It was just a matter of not going out. It was no big deal.
"Xiao Yulan, do you have a portrait of that woman?"
"Which one? I've never had any woman, so where did the portrait come from?"
Xiao Yulan thought someone had said something to Bu Ruolan, and hurried to prove his innocence: "From the time I can remember until now, I have only had you, Ruo'er, and I have never had any abnormal contact with other women. The whole Zhan Palace knows it."
Bu Ruo looked at Xiao Yulan, who was almost swearing, and burst out laughing. "I didn't say you had anything with anyone else. I was talking about the portrait of the woman who was killed by a cultivator who caused trouble back then. Do you have it? I'm curious and want to see it."
Xiao Yulan breathed a sigh of relief: "You mean the portrait? There is only one portrait left in the ancestral temple. We actually go there to worship it every year, but we didn't go this year because of the thunder incident."
"But I have seen it, and I can draw it. Although I can't say it's exactly the same, it's at least 90% similar."
Bu Ruo excitedly pulled Xiao Yulan to the table and spread out paper and ground ink like a lackey: "Come, please take a seat, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan sighed helplessly: "Why is Ruo'er suddenly curious about this portrait?"
Bu Ruo smiled slyly, "I heard she can bloom. Maybe she's my ancestor or something?"
Xiao Yulan: ...
You were born and raised by nature, so you may not have any ancestors.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but Grandpa Du has an incredible skill: disguise. He doesn't use any skins, just the potions he brews. It's truly magical."
"If I knew what that woman looked like, I could clear my name. Then I would pretend to be her and claim to be her descendant."
"When the time comes, I'll give them a flower and the rumors will be dispelled."
"Xiao Yulan, am I very smart?"
Xiao Yulan: ...
"It's indeed a smart move, but it's risky and requires careful consideration."
As time passed, Bu Ruo looked more and more and felt that the woman in the painting looked familiar.
When the last stroke of the eyebrows was completed, Bu Ruo, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea, spraying the woman in the painting in the face.
Xiao Yulan: ...
“It’s actually her…”
Bu Ruo stared at the woman in the painting, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
"Ruo'er knows him?"
Bu Ruo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
If I say I know him, I'm not really familiar with him. If I say I don't know him, I really do know him...
"Well, I know you. Your Highness is busy now. I'll go back now and come back early tonight. I want to play tricks on you."
When Bu Ruo returned to Chaoyang Garden, she saw Jin Congcong still sitting there drinking tea...
"Don't you want to help the housekeeper anymore? Don't you want to earn money? Let me remind you that your monthly allowance of two taels is gone."
Unexpectedly, Jin Congcong said calmly: "I know, but I have a better and faster way to make money, I just need your support."
Bu Ruo looked at him warily: "I'm telling you, I still have to support the Bu family army, I don't have any money to give you."
