Ning Shu stood in Qi Juanyu's room and watched for a long time. Her mind slowly simulated all the possible scenes that could have happened last night. Then, step by step, she walked down the ocher-colored stairs and returned to the blood-stained silk dress on the ground. She squatted for a long time without saying a word.
Only when the candlelight gradually weakened and the sky brightened, did she feel cold all over.
A cloak fell from her head to her face, covering her completely.
Ning Shu didn't even need to think to know who had come. Pulling herself out of the cloak, Ning Shu maintained her squatting position and raised her head. This angle made Xiahou Qing appear abnormally tall.
She said, "Even if a stone fell into the water, there should be some sound. But Qi Juanyu, a living person, actually disappeared without a sound in this impregnable palace. Doesn't Your Highness think this is ridiculous? "
"Ridiculous." Xiahou Qing indifferently replied, which counted as a show of support. On the side, seeing the Heir Apparent toss his cloak to Lady Ning, Jiu Si hurriedly put on the other cloak in her hands for Xiahou Qing.
"And then?" She blinked. That's it?
Then, Xiahou Qing lightly kicked her foot and said, "Let's go."
What was the meaning of this? Ning Shu asked, "What are we going to do?"
With Jiu Si's support, Xiahou Qing turned and walked away. "Go back and rest."
Ning Shu hesitated and stood up. "But Fourth Young Miss Qi —"
"She's already lost. Can you find her in a short time?" Xiahou Qing's voice was as low as water in the glow, leisurely and carefree.
"I can't." Ning Shu shook her head. The other party's plan was far-reaching and dared to make such a big move. It was impossible for them to find her quickly. But —
"Isn't Your Highness worried? After all, she is your princess consort. If he really is cursed by the eight characters and dies an unnatural death in the end, then it would really disappoint Fourth Miss Qi's deep feelings of coming to participate in the Heir Consort selection even though she knew it was dangerous. "She quickened her pace to catch up with him to see Xiahou Qing.
Xiahou Qing said in a flat tone, "The premise of her unnatural death is that she must first become insane, so she shouldn't die in a short time, right?"
Ning Shu was instantly flabbergasted. Although what he said was quite reasonable, in any case, his heir's consort had gone missing. What kind of person was he to have such a reaction!
"But she is, after all, the Heir Consort you have chosen." Ning Shu was speechless.
Xiahou Qing sneered coldly, "You're wrong. This Shizi Fei was not chosen by me, nor was it chosen by the Heavens. It was pushed to me by the person behind the scenes. Why should I be flustered as he wishes? "
That seemed to be right. The other party's actions were undoubtedly to make them flustered so that they could watch from the sidelines. Then they might as well do the opposite and go against the other party's wishes. However, his tone was too flat. It was so calm that it was as if he was casually mentioning the grass that he had just stepped on, the wind that he had just encountered, or the falling flowers that he had brushed past. There was no hatred, no resentment, no disgust, and no worry. There was no fluctuation in his tone, but it was even more ruthless.
Ning Shu silently followed behind him. After a moment of silence, she said, "For Your Highness, does it not matter who you choose to be the Heir Consort?"
Ning Shu lowered her head as she spoke, so she was caught off guard and suddenly bumped into his back. Ning Shu hurriedly covered her forehead and took a step back, afraid that she would break this noble master.
Xiahou Qing's footsteps stopped and he slightly turned his face to the back. He said with a complicated tone, "What do you think?"
