"This... "This isn't the last time .." When Dongfang Qiming arrived, he originally wanted to ask Rong Jiu about it, but when he saw a beautiful woman, he strangely sized up Dongfang Qisu and her, "This king has seen you before."
He asked Rong Jiu in this manner, "Why are you together with the Third Brother?" He looked at Dongfang Qisu with an inquiring expression, "Third Brother, you .."
Rong Jiu's expression changed, did the human skin mask fall? That's true, after falling into the river, it would be strange if she didn't fall. On the other hand, after bringing along human skin mask for so long, she had already forgotten her true appearance.
She caressed her smooth face and looked at Dongfang Qisu for help. She did not want others to know her true face.
"Why?" Dongfang Qisu's voice was low and deep, and although he was staring at Rong Jiu, he was questioning Dongfang Qiming.
"Don't you like Third Sister-in-Law very much? Why are you with this woman again? "You guys .." Dongfang Qiming whispered, thinking that the Third Brother was letting her down.
Although he had seen this woman sleeping on Third Brother's bed before, Third Brother was someone who had gotten married. He had never been near women, so how could he be so shameless?
"She saved This King." Dongfang Qisu's tone was simple and concise, "Your Third Sister-in-Law has already gone back. Seventh Brother, get ready, prepare to go back to the capital."
"Huh?" Dongfang Qisu focused on Rong Jiu and going back up, "Third Brother, have you angered Third Aunt?" He thought that when Third Sister-in-Law saw this woman with Third Brother, she must have gotten angry.
"Hmm?" Dongfang Qisu looked over coldly, and quickly replied: "Alright, get ready."
He had to return quickly, he couldn't be at ease leaving Ning Xueqi alone in the capital.
No matter how fast he prepared, he would only be able to return tomorrow morning. Dongfang Qisu went alone to look for the Patriarch, and asked him about Ah Sha's matters.
The clan leader lamented, "After harming the princess, I hope that you will not anger your clansmen."
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you can only investigate Ah Sha." Dongfang Qisu asked, "Is there any news of her?"
"Sigh!" Since the last time she knew we were going to capture her, she's been missing, nowhere to be found. "
Dongfang Qisu told the patriarch about her appearance on top of Cloud Peak Mountain, and then said, "She might have colluded with someone, so I hope that the patriarch does not give up on searching. After they return to the capital, this duke will also send people to look for her, to see if she went somewhere else."
"Yes."
After finishing his instructions, Dongfang Qisu found someone to tend to his inflamed wounds, then returned back to his residence.
As for Rong Jiu, due to the unfamiliar face, Hong Xing and the Huan Huan had enmity towards her, it was fine if they didn't give her dinner, but it might not even be possible for her to live in Rong Jiu's room, or arrange for her to live in a shabby, dusty room.
Rong Jiu did not know whether to laugh or cry, what was the purpose of their actions?
"Don't even think about it. "Your Highness, the Prince is only the consort's." Hong Xing said with a face of caution, "Besides the wangfei, Your Highness has never liked anyone else. Just give up on this thought."
When Hong Xing said this, a flash of sadness appeared in her eyes.
Huan Huan also said, "Right, such a powerful person like Prince Zhan can only be Rong Jiu's!"
To the Huan Huan, Rong Jiu was their greatest reliance. For the rest of her life, she could only watch as Rong Jiu climbed up step by step.
When Rong Jiu who was not recognized by others heard this, she felt even more helpless, and did not bother about them anymore. Right now, there were no more herbs around him, making it difficult to become a human skin mask.
The system also didn't have enough points to purchase medicinal herbs. She could only wait until she returned. Perhaps, she could accumulate points first and return to Chang An after that.
When she returned, she must investigate why something so strange had happened. Who had controlled her to do something that she did not have a memory of?
What if he really did control or something? What if he injured someone he shouldn't have?
When Dongfang Qisu returned, he knew what Hong Xing and the Huan Huan were doing, but he did not say anything. He only told them to prepare food and send it to Rong Jiu, so that he could sleep in the previous room, while he went to another place to sleep.
There was no need to face him; Rong Jiu was naturally happy. She just so happened to not know how to face Dongfang Qisu.
Dongfang Qisu was unable to sleep at all that night, and Rong Jiu's strangeness circulated in her mind. Most of the time, she would look normal, but sometimes, he could also be so weird that it was hard to fathom.
After dawn, everyone began to prepare to return. After cleaning up, Dongfang Qisu did not see Rong Jiu, so he asked the others. In the end, no one knew, but from the moment he woke up, he had not seen Rong Jiu.
When he opened the door, it was completely empty. There was no one on the bed, and no one in the room. Dongfang Qisu's heart was in a panic, and subconsciously thought that he had been controlled again.
He almost wanted to order her guards to search around, but Hong Xing found a letter that Rong Jiu had left behind under her pillow: It's gone, do not leave it hanging.
Dongfang Qisu's gaze was ice-cold, and when Huan Huan saw that there was no longer a woman following them, her mood became much better.
"Third Brother, let's go." When Dongfang Qiming appeared, he saw that Dongfang Qisu's expression was heavy and the veins on the back of his hand were popping out, "Third Brother, you .. It's time to go. "
He carefully spoke, but felt that the current Dongfang Qisu was extremely angry.
Dongfang Qisu flung his long sleeves and left with a gust of cold wind. Dongfang Qiming shivered, and quickly followed.
Returning back, Dongfang Qisu heard from Dongfang Qiming that a few days ago, a thief had appeared in the palace and placed a lot of things in the pool.
The crown prince had disappeared for many days and was severely reprimanded when he returned. Now, he was also looking around for the whereabouts of the pirate sage.
The first thing Dongfang Qisu did when he returned to the Duke Palaces was to let no one know if anyone had appeared beside Ning Rouxue recently, or if they were secretly monitoring her movements.
He knew that all of Rong Jiu's strangeness had nothing to do with Ning Rouxue.
The tiger-eyed tiger might have felt that Dongfang Qisu had returned, and it seemed happier, and ate more.
When Tuan Za heard that Dongfang Qisu had returned, he immediately changed his strange disguise into a good one and hopped off to find Dongfang Qisu.
"Daddy, Daddy .."
Tuan Za shouted as he ran. When Dongfang Qisu heard Tuan Za's voice, his mood improved a little, this Tuan Za who looked similar to him, was almost like a mini version of him, there seemed to be some sort of connection between him and Tuan Za. If he did not truly not know the Rong Jiu from before, he would suspect that this was his son.
Son? Dongfang Qisu suddenly wanted to ask Rong Jiu a question. Where was she one night all those years ago? Are you in Chang An?
His hand unconsciously clenched, as if he was expecting something.
"Daddy .." Tuan Za walked in with his short legs, his head wandered around for a bit, and then he suddenly asked, "Eh? Where is my lovely mother? "Didn't you come back?"
Dongfang Qisu went up and carried him on his legs, then sat down, "Your mother has some matters to take care of."
"Oh." Tuan Za didn't doubt his words as he knew that Rong Jiu had a lot to do with this situation as well, "That's right, Father. It's not easy for you to finally return, let's father and son have a good drink together to celebrate your return."
He blinked his large round eyes, looking at Dongfang Qisu in anticipation. Dongfang Qisu helplessly placed him on the ground, "How long has it been since you last went to school?"
"Ugh .." "I .." Tuan Za curled her lips, Yu Niang did not give him any wine to drink, he really wanted to drink, but his father did not seem to be able to do it, "Um .. Father, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. " He ran out like a wisp of smoke.
Dongfang Qisu shook his head helplessly.
