Xu Rouzhi couldn't sleep well that night, and was tossing and turning in his bed. Bi Su came to the front of the bed in her clothes and tucked her in. She asked softly, "What's wrong with the wangfei? You were unable to sleep soundly tonight? "

Xu Rouzhi looked at Bi Su, and thought about what she had said to Chu Yixuan back at the Seven Treasure Pagoda. If Chu Yixuan wanted to use her to pass on fake information to the Eastern Palace, then, would she be able to help Chu Yixuan by revealing the matter of the tunnel and the Seven Treasure Pagoda to Bi Su?

No, looking at Bi Su, Xu Rouzhi still swallowed back the words she wanted to say. She waved her hand and said: "I was just about to fall asleep, when you woke me up."

"Then quickly go to sleep, wangfei!" Bi Su said softly.

Xu Rouzhi nodded and closed her eyes.

She lay on the bed without moving, and when she thought back to how she had coincidentally met Bi Su when she came out of Eight Treasures Pavilion, she couldn't help but be moved, — How did Bi Su know to look for her at Eight Treasures Pavilion? Since Bi Su had gone to the Eight Treasures Pavilion, then when did Bi Su just come outside the Eight Treasures Pavilion when he met her, or did she actually come out from the Eight Treasures Pavilion herself?

With this thought tangled in her mind, Xu Rouzhi began to pretend to be asleep, as she let out regular breathing sounds.

It was already the fourth fragment of the night. Hearing the sound of wind passing by outside, the Jinxiu House s were incomparably quiet, and even Bi Su's outside world was completely silent.

Xu Rouzhi slowly got up from the bed. After putting on her clothes, he felt her way out of the door: "Bi Su, I'm thirsty, do you have water?"

Bi Su's bed was very quiet, with no reaction whatsoever.

Xu Rouzhi slowly walked over and lifted the curtain. On Bi Su's bed, it looked like someone was sleeping soundly, but the thing hidden under the blanket was only a long pillow and a few bundles of clothes.

Bi Su was not there!

Xu Rouzhi's heart sank. In other words, when Chu Yixuan brought her into the tunnel in the day, she would also have followed him in.

I'm afraid that's the way it is. Chu Yixuan knew that she would not do as he said, and would not reveal the news to Bi Su, so he intentionally made a mistake and led Bi Su to discover the secret, so that the news could reach the East Palace as soon as possible.

When Bi Su returned, it was already close to midnight.

Bi Su's figure quietly jumped in from outside the window, quietly closed the window, and tiptoed back to her bedside.

At this time, Xu Rouzhi was sitting on Bi Su's bed.

When Bi Su opened the curtain and was about to sit down, she took a glance at Xu Rouzhi and could not help but take a step back in shock. Her small face immediately became pale white. Why is the princess here? "

Xu Rouzhi sighed, got up and got off the bed: "I'm thirsty, I can't find any water to drink."

Bi Su quickly turned around and went to the kettle beside the stove, "I'll get water for Princess Huo Wu now."

The lights in the room were on. Xu Rouzhi sat by the side and did not say a word. Instead, she silently looked at Bi Su.

Bi Su was perturbed, she poured some water for Xu Rouzhi. Seeing that Xu Rouzhi no longer had any intention to continue sleeping, she lowered his head and fell silent for a long while. Bi Su still raised his head and asked, "Princess, do you have any questions for me to ask Bi Su?"

Xu Rouzhi had already waited for Bi Su for a long time, she also wanted to ask Bi Su about everything. But right now, the question she wanted to ask was: "What conditions did Crown’s Master use to force you, Bi Su?"

Bi Su was startled, her eyes immediately becoming red.

The sharp voice of the Manager Tong was still resounding in his ears, "Third young miss, if you continue to act willfully, and if Crown’s Master blames you for it, I'm afraid Miss Bi Su cannot take responsibility!"

"Did the princess guess that I would be out tonight?" Bi Su did not answer the question.

"The secret of Eight Treasures Pavilion, you've already sent it out, right?" Xu Rouzhi also did not answer the question.

Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi for a long time and nodded.

Xu Rouzhi did not have any intention to pursue the matter with her, as she had already seen through his intentions. If Xu Rouzhi wanted to investigate her, then the person waiting for her to come back would probably be Chu Yixuan.

Bi Su was tricked!

Now, Bi Su had revealed the secret that Chu Yixuan intentionally leaked to the Eastern Palace, then, the competition between the Prince Qi Palace and the Eastern Palace would come to an end on the surface, right?

Xu Rouzhi cared more about the Eastern Palace and the Prince Qi Palace. But she needed to understand the situation, how she would escape and where she could escape to. She had to make a plan now.

Bi Su was a little nervous as she asked, "What's wrong, did the wangfei already find out where I was during the day?"

"Not really." Xu Rouzhi said, "But I don't know if Chu Yixuan found you yet."

"That shouldn't be the case. I wasn't following closely behind the wangfei and the prince, so I shouldn't have been discovered." Saying that, Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi, her eyes filled with anticipation, "But I don't know … Where did the prince take the wangfei? "

Xu Rouzhi didn't answer Bi Su's question: "Have you thought that your identity would be seen through by Chu Yixuan, Bi Su?"

Bi Su stared blankly, then muttered: "From the day we entered the Prince Qi Palace, we have already shouldered this kind of risk, right?"

"You're still betting. As long as Chu Yixuan doesn't notice anything, you'll continue working for the Crown’s Master?"

Bi Su was silent, but it was also tacit agreement.

Otherwise? What else could she do?

Xu Rouzhi patted Bi Su's shoulders: "Tell me the truth, Bi Su, do you work for the Crown’s Master for the money or do you have to go through a lot of trouble?"

"Not for money!" Bi Su immediately replied.

Xu Rouzhi understood. Is that what you need to do? "

Bi Su nodded silently.

"Tell me straight, what is it about you being controlled by him?" Xu Rouzhi hoped to solve this problem for Bi Su. From today onwards, she would be able to regain her freedom and would no longer be controlled by the Crown’s Master.

Bi Su remained silent for a long time, lowered her head, and did not say a word.

Xu Rouzhi looked away in disappointment, "Alright, since you aren't willing to say it, I won't force you either. Chu Yixuan is not as silly as you think, and Crown’s Master is definitely not as merciful as you think.

With that, Xu Rouzhi put down the cup and returned back to her room.

Since they could not trust each other, how could they continue to support each other on the road in the future?

Bi Su was startled, she looked at Xu Rouzhi's back and quickly said: "The reason I followed Crown’s Master is the same as Third Young Miss."

Xu Rouzhi was startled!

He still called her Third Young Miss, this was not the Crown’s Master Residence!

Xu Rouzhi turned around and said, "The reason you listen to Crown’s Master is the same as me?"

Bi Su nodded, "Yes."

Xu Rouzhi was a little surprised, but she said softly: "Why did Third Miss endure humiliation all these years? Even though she knew that the Prince Qi Palace was a purgatory of the human world, the Third Miss still betrothed herself to him. Just like the Third Miss, Bi Su had also married her for the sake of Aunt Cheng. "

Xu Rouzhi frowned, "You … What's her relationship with Aunt Cheng? "

Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi: "She … It's Bi Su's aunt. "

What?

Xu Rouzhi was stunned!

Xu Rouzhi's mother, was Cheng Wan's aunt?

This, this, in other words, the relationship between Xu Rouzhi and her cousin?

Bi Su said in a low voice: "All this while, I have never mentioned this matter to Third Miss. Bi Su did not intentionally hide it, it's just that … Crown’s Master will not allow Bi Su to disturb the third young miss' thoughts, and will affect the completion of the mission for the third young miss. "

"Because we're cousins, that's why you're defending me like that?"

"Just can't do more."

Xu Rouzhi sat down in a daze, and silently looked at Bi Su, and indicated for him to sit. Bi Su slowly sat down.

"Cousin." Bi Su said softly.

Although she was not the real Xu Rouzhi, for some reason, this "cousin" made Xu Rouzhi's heart sour.

I can't believe that Xu Rouzhi would actually have such a close person by her side. Of course, Bi Su is closer to him than I am! All these years, Xu Chang had ignored her, as if she was the only daughter left. Now, for the sake of his future prospects, he was even going to use her to work for the Eastern Palace, completely ignoring the life and death of this daughter of his.

But Bi Su was different. Even though her actions were very dangerous and she might even be punished by the Crown’s Master, Bi Su still obeyed her, helped her, protected her, and protected her …

So that was because they were cousins!

"How long have you listened to the orders of the Crown’s Master?" Xu Rouzhi asked.

Bi Su answered: "When I was four years old, my parents committed an offense and fled to an unknown place. Aunt asked Crown’s Master to connect me to the Xu Family, but in order to protect me, she did not reveal my identity to anyone. Thus, I have always grown up in the Xu Family as a servant. Crown’s Master has groomed a bunch of servants in private, there are six of them like me. On the day we left the, Crown’s Master told me that if I could accompany my cousin into the Prince Qi Palace to investigate the secrets of the Prince Qi Palace, remove all the disasters, and stabilize Eastern Palace's position, he would inform me of my aunt's whereabouts. If I do not agree, I will never see Aunt again, and Crown’s Master will not guarantee my cousin's safety. Under such circumstances, I had no choice but to agree to Crown’s Master's request. "

"He threatened you with my safety?"

"I said it like that, but I feel that the Crown’s Master still cares about Third Young Miss. He won't hurt Third Young Miss. That's just his bargaining chip. "

Xu Rouzhi frowned, as her father, Xu Chang was truly inhumane!

Bi Su then said: "Crown’s Master promised me that as long as Eastern Palace's position is stable, he would tell me Aunt's whereabouts. Furthermore, I heard that the reason Third Miss was willing to marry into the Prince Qi Palace was also for this reason. "

"Isn't it?" Xu Rouzhi sneered. In Xu Rouzhi's memories, there was indeed a passage where the father explained the threat the Prince Qi Palace posed to the Eastern Palace with a stern face. In the end, she changed the topic and said, "As long as you complete your mission, you will know where your mother is."

"Judging from Crown’s Master's tone, he already knows where Aunt is." Bi Su frowned slightly, "It's a pity that even though I've asked around, there's still no news of me. In order to find aunt, I could only follow Crown’s Master's arrangements. "

"He actually knows where my mother is …" Xu Rouzhi muttered to herself for a moment, "Could it be that mother is imprisoned in his hands?"

"No, I don't think so." Bi Su said, "I have searched everywhere within the Xu Mansion, but I did not find any traces of Aunt. And Mrs. Xu is crazy with jealousy, if Aunt stays in Crown’s Master Palace, Mrs. Xu won't be able to tolerate it. "

Xu Rouzhi was silent for a moment, "Since we are cousins, how can he be at ease that we should come to the Prince Qi Palace together? Isn't he afraid that we'll work together to fight him? "

"How could that be?" Bi Su said in shock, "Cousin misses aunt so much, all these years I have spent so much effort searching for her. Now that there is hope, I can finally find out where aunt is, how can Cousin not accept it?"

That's true! Xu Rouzhi sighed, although she was not the real Xu Rouzhi, but she should still be able to understand how much Xu Rouzhi missed her mother.

Wasn't she the same as him? Wasn't she also thinking about her mother?
