"Jinxi, what's going on?"

In the main hall of Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan was alone with Cui Jinxi, and at this time she asked Cui Jinxi about the progress of the matter.

"Reporting to my lady, I have been keeping an eye on Miss Huanbi in the past few days."

In response to Zhen Huan's question, Cui Jinxi did not hesitate and said, "According to my observation, I have indeed discovered that Miss Huanbi has a unique fragrance!"

After hearing what Cui Jinxi said, Zhen Huan, who had been indifferent, immediately opened her eyes wide, "But is it Mihexiang?"

Cui Jinxi said honestly: "I can't be absolutely sure, but... it's almost there!"

Cui Jinxi has always been cautious. If she is not sure, she would never say such words when facing Zhen Huan.

Therefore, when Zhen Huan heard this, even though she had been mentally prepared, her mood still sank.

"I see."

After a long silence, Zhen Huan said to Cui Jinxi, "Go and call Huanbi in and tell her that I want to talk to her about something."

"Yes, I understand, slave."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was about to be frank with Huanbi, Cui Jinxi felt a little worried.

Zhen Huan noticed the change in Cui Jinxi's expression and said, "You don't have to worry. She wouldn't dare to do anything."

After all, she is an "old man" who has served her for many years, and they grew up together. Zhen Huan now really wants to ask Huanbi why!

Unlike Cui Jinxi, who was worried that Huanbi might be harmful to her, Zhen Huan didn't care.

This is the Old Summer Palace, and Huanbi is alone in a room with me. If something really happens to me, can she escape?

Moreover, even if Huanbi really surrendered to Cao Qinmo and others, Zhen Huan didn't believe that Huanbi would be so devoted to them in such a short period of time!

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Seeing this, Cui Jinxi suppressed her worries and signaled Zhen Huan to wait a moment while she went to find someone.

"My Lord, you want to see me now?"

When Cui Jinxi found Huanbi, she was trimming a bunch of lotus flowers. When she heard Zhen Huan's call conveyed by Cui Jinxi, she paused and felt uneasy.

"Girl, don't bother with these things anymore. Just leave them for me to do!"

Cui Jinxi naturally saw Huanbi's guilty conscience, and immediately said this to her, indicating that Huanbi should give the flowers to her and go to see Zhen Huan.

"This……"

Huanbi has always trusted her intuition. Just like now, she instinctively felt that there must be something going on behind Zhen Huan's desire to see her, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Cui Jinxi said: "What's wrong? I can't keep you waiting for too long, go quickly!"

It’s a pity that Huanbi had no good way to refuse to see Zhen Huan.

After being urged by Cui Jinxi, he was speechless and could only walk towards the main hall.

No matter how reluctant Huanbi was, she finally walked slowly to the door.

"Little Master..."

After pushing the door open, Huanbi bowed to Zhen Huan who was sitting on the chair and said with a smile, "I wonder if the young lady has any instructions for me?"

Even though she was worried that Zhen Huan might have discovered something, when facing Zhen Huan, Huanbi still tried her best to make herself look no different from usual, in order to reduce Zhen Huan's suspicion of her.

"It's nothing serious, I just miss the time when I was at home."

Zhen Huan waved to Huan Bi and asked her to come to her side. "Don't be so restrained. Come, come in front of me and let me see you."

"Ah..." Huanbi now instinctively resisted close contact with Zhen Huan, but in order not to arouse Zhen Huan's suspicion, she moved in front of Zhen Huan.

"In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I entered the palace. A lot of things have happened in this year! I don't know what happened these days, but it often reminds me of the days when I was with you in the mansion. At that time, we were really 'carefree'."

Zhen Huan's emotional expression to Huanbi evoked Huanbi's memories, and her gaze towards Zhen Huan became extremely complicated.

Perhaps, Zhen Huan was simply missing home, so she recalled those past events.

But for Huanbi, her life in Zhen's mansion was not bad, but not good either.

At that time, she could indeed see Zhen Yuandao often.

However, she could only call her father "Master", and had to serve Zhen Huan, who was supposed to be her "sister", every day.

Of course, this is not a good memory for Huanbi.

Therefore, looking at Zhen Huan with a look of emotion on her face, Huanbi forced a smile and said, "Miss, you are homesick! But... after all, you have already entered the palace. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to go back!"

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Huanbi kept this sentence firmly in her heart.

She clearly remembered that this was what Zhen Huan had said to her when she had just entered the palace.

At that time, Huanbi only had a vague understanding of this and could not fully grasp the meaning.

As for now, Huanbi has already gained some experience.

"Yeah, no matter how much you think about it, that's the past that you can't go back to."

Huanbi's words also touched Zhen Huan. She turned her eyes to Huanbi, the girl who had been with her since she was a child, and suddenly said, "Huanbi, am I treating you well?"

"what?"

When asked this question suddenly by Zhen Huan, Huanbi, who was immersed in her inner world, did not react immediately, but was a little confused.

I said, how do I treat you on a daily basis?

Zhen Huan repeated it again without getting tired of it, and her eyes were more scrutinizing than before.

"My young master... is naturally very kind to me!"

When Huanbi saw Zhen Huan's look, she felt as if she was poured with a basin of ice water, and she suddenly came to her senses.

If the previous one was just her inner guess, then at this time, Huanbi was basically certain.

Zhen Huan must know something!

Regardless of whether it was hearsay or some evidence in hand, anyway, this time, Zhen Huan called me over, and her purpose must be not simple!

"Since you also said that I treated you well, then - why did you betray me?"

Zhen Huan stood up from her chair and moved closer to Huanbi, as if she wanted to see through her inner thoughts.

"My lord...My lord, what are you talking about?"

Huanbi was so nervous that she began to tremble unconsciously, but she still pretended to be calm, "How could a servant betray the young master!"

"Is it?"

Zhen Huan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "If you hadn't betrayed me, why would you have secretly contacted Concubine Cao?"

"what?"

Seeing Zhen Huan say this, Huanbi's heart had sunk to the bottom, but she was still pretending to be confused, "I don't understand... My lady said that I had contact with Concubine Cao, and I haven't seen Concubine Cao for a long time! I remember - the last time I saw Concubine Cao was when she came to give you a gift!"

"Haha, it seems like you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River!"

Zhen Huan sneered: "I gave Concubine Cao a gift before, you probably didn't know!"
