Zhu Yiping spoke unhappily, "Father, I didn’t bully him, it’s his own stubborn nature. This ti, it was indeed because of my words that he left, but it wasn’t because of . Father, do you rember the maid I took away from Shiqing?"
"The maid nad Mingzhu?" Zhu Haisheng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes, Mingzhu. Father, she is not an ordinary maid; she’s the Commandery Princess of Ningwang Residence, looking for her brother!"
There was a loud roar in Zhu Haisheng’s mind, and his complexion turned extrely unpleasant.
Zhu Yiping continued talking to himself, "Father, Shiqing went to find the Commandery Princess, probably to verify whether Mingzhu is really the Commandery Princess. Father, Father, what’s wrong with you?"
Zhu Haisheng’s face turned pale. He hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and said, "It’s nothing, just that I’ve been unwell since childhood, a bit dizzy, probably the old ailnt acting up again."
"Ah? Father, you’re dizzy, then quickly call for a doctor! Shi Shu, Shi Shu, go quickly and summon a doctor."
"Father, please hold on, I’ll first take you to your room to rest!"
In the midst of chaos, Zhu Haisheng finally cald down. Once he felt slightly better, he insisted on having a servant help him back to his courtyard.
Zhu Yiping, sweating with anxiety, said, "Father, don’t try to be brave, quickly lie down and rest. Tonight, don’t go anywhere; just stay here in the courtyard. Didn’t the doctor say so? You can’t move around easily in your condition."
"I’m not moving; just call a few people to carry back!"
"Father, why are you so stubborn? Do I have rats in this room?"
Zhu Haisheng hurriedly said, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking? I’ve been used to the sll of dicine for years; I can’t sleep without it. I’d better return to my room; I like the sll."
Zhu Yiping: "..."
With no other choice, Zhu Yiping had to call a few people to carry Zhu Haisheng back.
Once everyone had left, Zhu Yiping stood up.
In his eyes, there was a bloody aura of killing.
This aura was not sothing a typical rchant could possess but was owned by soone who had lived in slaughter, experienced the battlefield of life and death.
"It’s her, indeed, it’s her! Hmph, is it truly a case of a blind cat catching a dead rat, or have they really found her?"
Zhu Haisheng looked up at the bright moon outside and murmured, "It’s full again?"
Who knows how many tis the moon had been full? He was already twenty years old, and it seed everything was ready; it was ti to take action.
...
Jie Yi left Ningwang Residence, heading back to Beijing, Yue Qiulin also returned to Lingnan, and Jian Shiqing had no reason to stay, so he left as well.
By then, he had already stayed at Ningwang Residence for three days.
During these three days, he hadn’t encountered the Prince or Princess, and whether this was fortunate or unfortunate was unclear.
On the way back to the villa, he was leisurely riding his horse when the sound of a woman’s cheerful calls as she rode her horse startled him!
"Hyah! Hyah..."
He rode his horse to the side and saw a majestic white horse galloping by, with none other than Commandery Princess Jin Luoyin, whom he had parted with less than a day ago, riding on its back.
His gaze hardened as he watched her ride past without even acknowledging him—did she really not see him, or was it deliberate?
There was no one else on the road, and he was such a large figure on a huge black horse; if she couldn’t see him, he wouldn’t believe it even if he died—so it must be intentional?
Intentional?
His expression darkened as he snapped the whip across the horse’s rump, filled with anger, and urgently spurred his horse to chase after her.
