Plastic Surgeon & Thief Princess - C142
With Ning Xueqi accompanying her, it would be easier to find her. She and Ninng Xuanyu were not favoured characters, so their residences were off as well.
The two of them had quarreled the moment they met, and their relationship was much better than that of the other sisters. Therefore, Ning Xueqi sincerely hoped to find Ninng Xuanyu and send him off.
After searching for an hour, she finally found Ninng Xuanyu in a certain courtyard. Rong Jiu kicked the door open and saw Ninng Xuanyu, whose head was covered with dirt and its face was shrunk into a corner.
Ning Xueqi looked at it and laughed out loud. Her tears also fell as she did not know whether she wanted to laugh or cry.
Ninng Xuanyu looked at the perfectly fine Ning Xueqi, and said with a rather deep sigh, “So it turns out that you’re still fine.
The two of them embraced each other. Years of squabbling were like the accumulation of affection between siblings.
“Third Brother.” This was the first time Ning Xueqi called him big brother so seriously, “You have to come back with a good impression, don’t make me look down on you.”
Ninng Xuanyu patted her back, and said haughtily, “Nonsense, if I don’t get along well, how would I be your Third Brother?”
Rong Jiu watched on from the side and was somewhat touched. In fact, she had not interacted much with her two younger brothers and sisters in her previous life, but she felt that they were very close.
“Let’s go.” Rong Jiu said, “Otherwise, if someone discovers us, we won’t be able to leave.”
The siblings reluctantly let go of each other. Ning Xueqi wiped away her tears, “Remember to make a fool of yourself!”
Ninng Xuanyu grabbed his bag that he had prepared earlier and nodded his head fiercely, “Let’s go.” He looked at Rong Jiu, his eyes shining with determination.
Rong Jiu pulled him outside, “Third Brother!” Ning Xueqi shouted.
Ninng Xuanyu turned around and saw her smiling, teary face looking at him, “You must return safely, and don’t try to be brave, you must survive.”
“Yes.” Ninng Xuanyu also laughed.
Rong Jiu dragged him up to the roof and stepped into the air. Ning Xueqi ran out of the courtyard as her blurry eyes could not clearly see their figures. She muttered: Third Brother, you have to live, you have to be good.
She did not know what she would meet when she went to the army camp this time, she only remembered that she had once laughed at Ninng Xuanyu, saying that he was a man who wanted to protect his family and his country.
As for her, she was laughing about how she would protect a country when she couldn’t even protect a person with a delicate appearance.
But now, the Third Brother had already fulfilled his dream, but what about her? He once thought that if he could marry the crown prince, he could enjoy the same prosperity as his sister and become the most respected person. But now, he had fallen in love with an ordinary prince and was about to marry him as his concubine.
Rong Jiu sent Ninng Xuanyu to the city gate, and took the chance to bring him out while the guards weren’t paying attention. Waiting for Ninng Xuanyu’s men to leave before they even arrived, she could only personally send him to the army camp.
The military camp was ten miles outside of the city, and there were no carriages or horses. Thus, they could only walk. It would only take a bit more than two hours.
As they walked, they heard the sound of horse hooves. Rong Jiu quickly pulled Ninng Xuanyu and walked to the side, so that no one would notice.
The hooves of the horses kicked up a lot of dust. Rong Jiu covered her face with her hands to prevent herself from breathing in the dust.
The two of them continued to rush towards the camp, when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves behind them. Rong Jiu’s heart was alarmed, she pulled Ninng Xuanyu and started to run, afraid that the people from the house of the Marquis found out they had caught up.
The truth was that people could not outrun horses. The horses stopped in front of the two of them, and Rong Jiu used her arms to block Ninng Xuanyu behind him.
The person on the horse got down and helplessly pulled Rong Jiu along, “The night is late, is there anything you can’t do for others?” Who else could it be other than Dongfang Qisu?
Rong Jiu’s thumping heart stopped for an instant, and she pounded his chest heavily. “What are you doing, you scared me to death.”
Dongfang Qisu laughed lightly and let Ninng Xuanyu ride on the horse, “Hand this letter over to the person inside, and remember, from today onwards, you are not Ninng Xuanyu, as for what you want to call him, you can decide.”
“Alright.”
Ninng Xuanyu cupped his hands in thanks, “I will never forget this great kindness.”
“Go.” Dongfang Qisu spurred his horse forward and the horse galloped off into the distance.
“Is that really okay?” Rong Jiu was a little worried.
“Why, do you doubt This King’s ability?” Dongfang Qisu said.
“No, no, no.” Rong Jiu anxiously waved her hand, how could she dare deny his ability, “Oh right, if we give him the horse, then what about us? How do we get back? ”
In the middle of the night, a smile flashed across Dongfang Qisu’s face, and his lips faintly curved upwards, “Let’s go back.”
“Hey, hey, wait for me.”
walked in front and Rong Jiu chased after him from behind.
When Tuan Za returned to the Duke Palaces, it was already dawn. Rong Jiu yawned and was about to take a rest, but when she woke up, she found Rong Jiu sleeping by her side. Tuan Za quietly got off the bed.
“Father, mother has been forcing me. What should I do? I’m afraid I might accidentally leak it one day. ” Tuan Za’s little face was filled with conflict, and all of the meat had been squeezed into a pile.
Dongfang Qisu’s face was also filled with worry, “It’s better not to tell her, for this matter, let us endure it.”
“Hai.” Tuan Za sighed, “I don’t want mother to know too.”
Dongfang Qisu rubbed his little head, “This time I went to the Miao Yan Town overnight to see the Patriarch, he …”
“What?” So you went back to ask about your mother, what did the Patriarch say? Can mother’s parasite be removed? ” Tuan Za’s eyes lit up with anticipation, seeing that Dongfang Qisu had lowered his head, he immediately understood.
“It’s alright, I will try my best to find a way as well.” Tuan Za clenched his fists. He will definitely find a way, he definitely will.
Dongfang Qisu looked into the distance, his thoughts also drifting away. The Patriarch said that the solution to the Gu had long been lost, and they, the older generation, did not know how.
However, the only thing she could restrain was to not let the user get too close to the victim. Otherwise, she might be controlled.
The important thing for a user was to find her hiding place, if not he would never know when Rong Jiu would be controlled.
“Where’s Hong Xing?” Dongfang Qisu asked.
“I think I’ll just practice martial arts.” Tuan Za said casually.
Dongfang Qisu stood up and walked out, Tuan Za asked curiously, “Daddy, where are you going?”
After finding Hong Xing, she would have no problem protecting herself with her martial arts, but it would be lacking if she wanted to protect him.
“Your Highness.” Hong Xing bowed.
“From today onwards, you will always follow Rong Jiu and can’t let her be alone with others. Other than this king and Tuan Za, do you understand?” Hong Xing was someone he trusted, so he could let Hong Xing go without worry.
“Yes.” Hong Xing cupped her hands as grief filled her eyes. In the end, she was not as good as the people after him.
