"A bunch of idiots. Where did the ghost come from? Did one of you play a trick to scare the master?"
Emperor Duanmu Yurong heard the report from his son's servant and slammed his hand on the table to show his anger.
"Your Majesty, please spare us. We were patrolling carefully last night and didn't find anything unusual."
"In the middle of the night, His Highness suddenly screamed. We rushed in, but His Highness was already in a nightmare."
The servant girls, eunuchs, and guards kneeling on the ground were all scared out of their wits, afraid of angering their cruel master.
But no matter how they pleaded or how they expressed their innocence, they couldn't escape the fate of death.
"Useless things. You can't take care of your master, but you still dare to find excuses. Men, drag them all out and bury them."
Duanmu Yurong threw the cup in his hand. His protruding belly trembled in anger.
Especially when he heard all kinds of frightened voices coming from the inner room, he was even angrier.
"Go and investigate for me. Find out which damned thing is playing tricks on me."
He didn't believe in ghosts. It was nothing more than a guilty conscience. He had killed so many people, but these things didn't bother him, so how could there be ghosts?
It must be that thing from the Qi family who didn't die. "Capture Xunmi alive. If you find the Qi family army, don't leave a single one alive."
Those who dared to challenge the dignity of the imperial family had to bear his anger. Those things from the Qi family would be sent to Qi Guang sooner or later.
And that thing, they couldn't find it after searching for so long. Was it with Xunmi?
"Yes," the hidden guard hiding in the dark immediately replied. Then a gust of wind flashed, so light that no one noticed.
Duanmu Yurong got up and walked to the inner room. That was his most beloved son.
Duanmu Lun now looked like he wanted to kill anyone he saw, so he was very noisy.
The imperial consort had no choice but to let someone knock him out and then ask someone to clean up the unsightly bed.
As for Qi Jingshan, the imperial consort didn't have a good impression of the culprit who caused all this.
She directly threw her outside to kneel and didn't give her any clothes to wear. Qi Jingshan was so naked that she couldn't struggle no matter how hard she tried.
In the end, she was forced to kneel in the courtyard. The sun was strong and she was frightened, so she soon fainted again.
Xunmi smiled wickedly as she looked at the image that BaoBao projected to her.
That Emperor, on the other hand, was pretty smart. He actually figured out that it was her doing.
Although he didn't say it clearly, from the fact that he changed the decree and the fear in his eyes when he talked about Qi Jiajun, she could see a thing or two.
Sure enough, he would give the order to plunder Zhong Hou Mansion, but he lacked a reason.
From the looks of it, he had long been extraordinarily fearful of the Zhong Marquis Estate. Now that he had the chance, how could he not make a move?
Overshadowing the Lord?
No, her father didn't have a commander's seal, except for the five thousand Qi Family soldiers.
Even though there were four hundred thousand soldiers at the border who had followed her father to war, without the Commander's Seal, it was impossible to mobilize them.
So there must be something she didn't know. Why did the Emperor want to get rid of the Qi Family?
Don't tell her that it was because of the Eighth Prince and his birth mother. Perhaps the Eighth Prince's position in the Emperor's heart was indeed high.
His mother was indeed favored, but it was definitely not to the extent that the Emperor was willing to bear the reputation of being muddle-headed for them.
Moreover, after he did this, it would not benefit the Eighth Prince and the Imperial Concubine at all. Instead, it would cause them to get involved in this mess.
Her fingers tapped on the book. What exactly was the reason?
"Miss Qi, the Emperor just issued a decree. Every official's residence will be searched to see if they are harboring you."
"You can't stay here for the time being. I will send you to Jiu Jiu's place. When the time comes, I hope that you can help me protect Jiu Jiu."
Luo Kai hurriedly ran in and rattled off a bunch of things.
He stuffed a letter and a jade pendant into Xunmi's hands. "Master is also in the palace. This is what he gave you. You will understand after you read it."
Then, without waiting for Xunmi's response, he pulled her out of the back door.
Xunmi, who was dragged away by Luo Kai with a wooden face the entire time, rolled her eyes speechlessly.
She sat in the carriage that had been waiting at the door and sped all the way to the palace.
The people who had made the arrangements immediately came forward to bring Xunmi, who was dressed as a maidservant, into the palace. As for Luo Kai, he left halfway.
After changing her clothes and using rouge to disguise her face, Xunmi arrived at the palace of the ninth princess that Luo Kai mentioned without any surprise.
Speaking of which, she was quite curious about this person. Luo Kai had been talking about how good his Jiu Jiu was in front of her.
How kind his Jiu Jiu was, how beautiful his Jiu Jiu was, and how kind he was.
When she saw this Jiu Jiu, who was the Emperor's ninth daughter, Duanmu Liubu, Xunmi couldn't help but marvel. She was indeed a beauty, and she was made of water.
She had a soft and gentle feeling from head to toe, which was different from her husband.
Her husband's gentleness had a slight nobility that no one dared to surpass.
This ninth princess was gentle to the bone. In addition, she was delicate, delicate, and petite. As long as she smiled, there were not many men who could refuse her.
"Miss Qi, I heard Brother Luo talk about you a long time ago. Today, I finally meet you. During this time, you can rest assured and stay at my place."
Her voice was soft and gentle. Xunmi sighed silently. This was a truly gentle person without any edges.
No wonder Luo Kai, that rough man, was so infatuated. If it were her, she would also hold such a jade-like delicate person in the palm of her hand.
After all, the more beautiful something was, the easier it was to be coveted and the easier it was to wither.
"Then I will disturb the ninth princess. In fact, I have been curious about the ninth princess for a long time. Every time Luo Kai saw me, he would talk about you."
"It's really hard for me not to remember you. The ninth princess is so lucky to have such a suitor."
Xunmi had a good impression of Luo Kai and the ninth princess. Naturally, she was willing to speak up for Luo Kai. After all, she could see that Luo Kai was serious.
It was a very happy thing for a woman to have such an infatuated and loyal man to protect her.
The ninth princess's white cheeks were immediately dyed red. Her bright eyes were misty. She looked at Xunmi with evasive eyes and was very shy.
Xunmi's eyes lit up. She had a chance.
She felt that if she had nothing to do one day, she could become a matchmaker. Maybe it would be very promising.
"Miss Qi, don't tease me. Brother Luo … is very good."
She was a little embarrassed and her voice was as low as a mosquito's. The figure of that person appeared in her mind, and her face was even redder.
Xunmi covered her mouth and snickered. She knew that the ninth princess was thin-skinned, so she stopped teasing her and changed the topic with a smile.
"I also have to disturb you for a while. Princess, don't be so formal. Just call me Xunmi."
"Okay, Xunmi. You can call me Jiu Jiu." The ninth princess replied with a smile and then clapped her hands. "See, I forgot. A Yue, take Xunmi to freshen up and rest. She must be tired."
