No matter what kind of words Chu Ci muttered, no matter what she said, those few guards would always think that she was drunk and spouting nonsense.

At the entrance of the yamen, the large drum used to cry for injustice was knocked, and very quickly, Chu Ci was brought into the court.

In front of the hall, the Palace Chief Song Yi sat down. He looked at Chu Ci who was lying on the ground and drunk, and furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. Her face also had obvious dissatisfaction, and naturally, she didn't have any good impression of the drunk girl in front of him.

"Who is it?"

, who was still drunk, barely had to raise his sleepy and sleepy eyes.

Soon after, she lowered her head as if she didn't want to pay attention to anyone. She lay on the cold ground and muttered, "These are the subordinates of that scum guy. They definitely aren't good people. My grandaunt has no time to care about you."

When she had finished, she changed her position, crossed her arms over her body, curled up on the ground, and fell asleep.

Prince Rong's Mansion.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker.

When Rong Yu came out of the study, he returned to the Longyi Pavilion, only to find that Chu Ci was not actually in the courtyard.

During this time, he could see her sitting in the yard with her head down every day. She was either sighing or secretly scolding him for being stingy.

It was as if he was accustomed to seeing her sitting at the round table she usually sat at when he walked far away from home every day, eating melon seeds in a daze. But now that he didn't see her, his heart felt a little empty.

Instinctively, he thought it was raining now, that the woman might have entered the house, even if, in his heart, he didn't think she was a woman willing to stay in the house.

When he pushed open the door to the room, he similarly did not see Chu Ci. Although he had already expected it, the empty house in front of him still made him feel uncomfortable.

That woman couldn't have secretly run away by herself, right?

When Rong Yu realized that the first thing he thought of was actually this kind of thought, at the same time that he was shocked, it was also a little laughable.

Since when did he really start to care about that woman?

As if deliberately not thinking about Chu Ci's whereabouts, he walked to the round table and sat down, poured herself a cup of water, and took a sip.

In front of the window, the bed that Chu Ci had slept on for half a month, naturally fell into's line of sight.

He didn't know why, but for the first time, he started to seriously think about Chu Ci, that woman.

One year ago, he received an imperial decree that the empress dowager would instruct him to marry Chu Ci, the little Princess, who was titled "Princess Yang".

At that time, he was very angry, he even wanted to disobey the decree. He instinctively thought that the Kaiser marrying Chu Ci was no more than wanting to watch him openly.

Even though Chu Ci had not obtained anything from him during this past year, even the slightest of favors from him was never given.

That woman was too obedient and tolerant in Prince Mansion. Even if he married a concubine to humiliate her the day after their marriage, she would remain indifferent and act as a good wife.

He could completely favor Chu Ci to the skies, to the point where he could even let the Kaiser think that he was truly in love with this little Princess. Or perhaps, he could even borrow the Princess Yang's power to convey some of the information that he wanted to pass on to the Kaiser.

However, he did not do so.

He looked coldly at Bao Yan stepping on her head without moving an inch, and at the servants trying to curry favor with Bao Yan while ridiculing her.

He didn't know what kind of response he'd be satisfied with, but he knew one thing. He was annoyed by her patience.

He always thought that she could retaliate in some way. That way, he would have all kinds of reasons and excuses to punish her, and even divorce her to show to the Kaiser.

But Chu Ci always seemed to be able to follow his wishes. In the month that he was in the capital, this woman had completely changed, becoming completely different from the Chu Ci in his impression of her.

She was arrogant, domineering, daring, and even … He had no idea. Whatever he wanted, he would do.

This … It shouldn't be the reaction and behavior of a girl who had been taught by the palace.

What shocked him even more was that she took the initiative to propose and leave him, and didn't even mind that he abandoned his wife.

Evidently, Chu Ci had succeeded this time and attracted all of his attention.

He began to think about her mind, began to pay attention to her every move, but what was the point of doing so?

Other than her yelling to leave him and the Prince Rong's Mansion, he could not find any other useful information from her.

Staring at the bed for a long time, Rong Yu gradually recovered from his thoughts. The tea in his hand was already cold.

Putting it aside, he got up and walked out of the hall.

The rain outside was still pouring down, and there was even a tendency for it to get heavier and heavier.

Without seeing Chu Ci return to the Longyi Pavilion, Rong Yu's brows unconsciously furrowed.

Just then, the Ginkgo biloba that had been serving Chu Ci walked in.

Because this was Rong Yu's residence, normally, other than cleaning, the servants would not dare to stay here for even a moment.

Most of the time, the Ginkgo biloba stayed in the leaf dryer, and only came to look for Chu Ci during meals time.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Rong Yu standing there. A trace of shock flashed past the eyes of the Ginkgo biloba and at the same time, the fear towards Rong Yu that was in his eyes was not hidden in the slightest.

"This servant greets Prince."

She knelt at the entrance of the courtyard with fear and trepidation in her eyes. She didn't dare to hold the umbrella in her hand and quietly placed it aside.

When Rong Yu saw her, a strange look flashed past his eyes, as if he had noticed something.

"Get up."

He spoke, and without taking out his umbrella, he walked straight to the front of the Ginkgo biloba, and asked with a calm voice: "What are you doing here? Where's Chu Ci? "

"Go back … When I returned to Prince, this servant hadn't seen Princess for the most part of the day. This servant thought that Princess had been staying in Longyi Pavilion the entire time and was about to ask her to come for dinner … "

The Ginkgo biloba's head was lowered, it did not dare meet Rong Yu's gaze.

In her impression, Rong Yu was a terrifying being that no strangers allowed to enter.

When Rong Yu heard the Ginkgo biloba's words, his brows furrowed even more.

Without a second word, he walked out of Longyi Pavilion, leaving the Ginkgo biloba trembling and kneeling on the ground. He did not know how to leave nor did he want to stay.

Once he was out of the Longyi Pavilion, he went straight to the main entrance of the Prince Mansion.

"Greetings Prince!"

"Did you see Princess leave?"

"Returning to Prince. Princess left at noon and hasn't been back since."
