C21 Where the Hell Are You

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Ning Ruoxue's scarlet eyes looked as if she had been possessed by evil. Her strength was extraordinary. In desperation, Rong Jiu raised his long leg and kicked Ning Ruoxue heavily on the tip of his foot.

Ning Rou Xue's body swayed and fell to the ground.

Rong Jiu let out a sigh of relief and laid paralyzed on the ground. How could Ning Ruoxue's emotions fluctuate so much?

After resting for a while, she dragged Ning Ruoxue onto the bed and pretended that she was tired and wanted to sleep. She went out to find out where the court ladies' group had been taken.

The palace maid shook her head, not understanding what Rong Jiu meant.

Rong Jiu went back to the room Ning Ruoxue arranged for him. He closed the door and asked, "Bound Crack, where are you?"

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Falling balls was the most important person to her. What if something happened to the Faction?

Next day

Ning Ruoxue had already sent someone to call for Rong Jiu long ago. She was told to go to Jade Face Pavilion and find a veil to wear before she left with the palace maid.

Ning Ruoxue saw that Jiu Yi was wearing a veil and was very satisfied. "The weather today is pretty good. Take me for a walk in the imperial garden."

"Yes." Rong Jiu lowered his head.

What happened last night was like a dream that didn't exist. Ning Ruoxue didn't mention anything about it and reverted back to her high and mighty appearance.

The journey from the Eastern Palace to the Imperial Garden was exceptionally quiet. Ning Ruoxue only brought her and her two palace maids with her. Rong Jiu followed behind without saying a word.

Suddenly, a eunuch dressed in a red and black palace uniform walked over with a white whisk in his hand. Behind him, there were a few courteous young eunuchs.

"Greetings, Crown Princess." The eunuchs saluted, and the palace maids behind Ning Ruoxue also saluted.

Ning Ruoxue continued to walk with her head held high. When she passed by the eunuch, her hands were stuffed. She tightly clenched her fists and gave the eunuch a deep look. The eunuch gave her a meaningful smile.

He took some time to look at it and it read: "This old servant has tried his best to look for it. Please don't be impatient, young lady."

Rong Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Dongfang Zizai had sent someone to help her. It was good that someone helped her find a group to fail.

Ever since Ning Ruoxue saw the Crown Prince's eyes last night, she made people stare at him. They didn't let her meet with the Crown Prince, so other than treating her face or accompanying her around, he almost stayed in his room.

There was someone standing guard outside. Rong Jiu couldn't find the group by himself. The messenger hadn't sent him a message yet, so he was anxious and wanted to go out in the night to scout.

At this time, the guards outside were ready to go to bed. Rong Jiu put on some inconspicuous clothes and walked out of the palace. Yu Yan Xuan could hear the palace maid's eunuchs calling out to him.

"Men! Men! Jade Yan Xuan is on fire! Men!"

Rong Jiu frowned. He was just fine, why was there a fire?

There were often guards patrolling in the Eastern Palace. Upon hearing Yu Yan Xuan's name, some of them rushed to save the fire while others rushed to inform the crown prince of the news. In a flash, Rong Jiu returned to his room to change into a light muslin dress.

It was noisy outside, so she should go and take a look. Otherwise, she didn't know what Ning Rou Xue would say to her.

Yu Yan Xuan was on fire. Rong Jiu thought it was a fire that would be extinguished very soon. When the crown prince arrived, Ning Rou Xue rushed into his embrace sobbing, "Big Brother Crown Prince, it's good that you're here. You're scared."

The Crown Prince lightly patted Ning Ruoxue's back, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Putting aside everything that the two of them had done and that face that didn't belong to Ning Ruoxue, it was more like a pair of mummies.

A hint of ridicule flashed through Rong Jiu's eyes as he turned around and left.

It was no wonder that the crown prince had only pampered her for so many years.

However, no matter how scheming she was, if she met a face that was better looking than hers, it would probably be of little use.

A plan was born in Rong Jiu Xin's heart. To torture a person, he had to start from something that she cared about.

A few days later, news was sent to him that he had found the whereabouts of the group. However, it would be inconvenient for him to bring the group to Rong Jiu's side.

These few days, Rong Jiu also tried his best to beat around the bush, but he still couldn't get the news about the group of people being crushed from Ning Ruoxue's mouth. None of the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs dared to divulge this information to her, or perhaps they simply didn't know.

When the crown prince arrived, Ning Ruoxue allowed him to hide behind the screen, afraid that he would set his eyes on her.

As Rong Jiu observed everyone's expression from behind the screen, he finally discovered a small opening. All of the eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads when the crown prince arrived, and only the small palace maid standing at the back quietly raised her head to size up the crown prince.

Rong Jiu smirked. It seemed that there were quite a few women who liked to be Crown Prince.

After the crown prince left, Ning Ruoxue wanted to rest. Rong Jiu purposely sent that little palace maid to her room to give her some jewelry.

The little palace maid's eyes lit up. Love money, so much control.

"Sister, how long have you been in the palace?"

"Two years." The young palace maid was currently only fourteen or fifteen years old, the age when the bud was about to bloom.

"Two years." Rong Jiusheng stretched out his voice as his lazy posture caused the young palace maid to relax. "What's your name?"

"Xia Mu." The little palace maid held the jewelry in her hands, not caring about what Rong Jiu asked, until she finally asked, "Do you want to be the crown prince's woman?"

Xia Mu fell to the ground in fright, "You …" "You better not talk nonsense. If the Crown Princess hears it, it will be terrible."

Rong Jiu smiled and helped her up, "I can help you." She stared into Xia Keke's eyes, "If you are afraid that your appearance can't match up to the princess, then I can help you. I'm afraid that I can't help you if you don't have the chance to be alone with the crown prince, but since you are the crown prince's woman, you are not allowed to evade when I need your help, do you understand?"

"I …" Xia Mu choked on his saliva. He was a bit frightened, but he couldn't hide his desire, "Can I really? If you can help me with my eyes, I'll listen to you. "

Rong Jiu nodded, "You only said yes or no."

Xia Mu nodded vigorously.

The corners of Rong Jiu's mouth curled up, "Alright, from now on, listen to me. I will turn you into someone who the crown prince will not let go and give you a bargaining chip against the crown prince's wife."

"But what about you?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Xia Mu lowered his head. His eyes were still shining with excitement. She knew about Rong Jiu's ability. She was jealous of the princess' beauty every day. This time, she could become more and more beautiful. That was great.

Since the plan is set, then Ning Ruoxue, will you just wait?

In the dead of night, Rao Jiu's sleep was shallow. When the wind blew, she grabbed the dagger under her pillow. "Who is it!"

The wooden window opened and a cool breeze blew in from outside. Rong Jiu slowly got up, "Don't play tricks on me, come out!"

She approached the window, her footsteps light, her breathing shallow. She raised her dagger and stabbed behind her, her wrist gripped. The person who came was so strong that she couldn't break free, so she grabbed at him with her other hand.
