A bad idea exploded in his mind, and his chest was throbbing as his pupils contracted.

He ran into the house regardless of the bleeding wounds on his body, and was stunned when he opened the door.

The house was empty, and nothing of Liu'er's was left. Only the kite was left hanging on the side, looking lonely and pitiful.

She left nothing behind that belonged to her, and took nothing that did not belong to her. Even the one thousand taels of silver note were quietly placed in the box, as if it had been discarded, looking extremely pitiful.

He didn't understand why she left. Even if her secret was known, he would not stay away from her. They were fine yesterday, so why?

wrong……

She never came back, so she had packed these things a long time ago.

"Someone come."

Lu'er and Jiang'er walked in tremblingly, knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.

"Has the girl done anything unusual recently?"

The two people kneeling on the ground looked at each other secretly, and after hesitating for a moment, they heard Chu Jinzhi slamming his palm on the table.

"explain!"

Lu'er had been with Rong Xi the longest, and Chu Jinzhi looked at her.

"My Lord, the young lady went out for a walk a few days ago and met the second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion on the road. She said... said."

"say what?"

"He said His Majesty wanted to grant a marriage between you and Miss Lu, and also said that the girl's status was not good, so she could ask Concubine Hui to make her a co-wife."

Lu'er told Chu Jinzhi everything that happened that day without missing a word.

Chu Jinzhi's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. How could Lu Shiyi dare to do that?

"Anything else?"

"And the girl heard the rumors in the city and has been depressed these past few days."

Chu Jinzhi immediately recalled the question she asked herself that night. She asked whether the emperor's decree could not be disobeyed, and her answer was intended to protect her.

Now, looking back at what happened before and after, it was my answer that night that made her decide to leave.

How could I be so stupid? How come I didn’t notice it even though I was with her every day?

His blood and energy suddenly rushed to his heart, and coupled with the injuries on his body and the blow he suffered after Rong Xi left, he fell straight forward.

"My lord, my lord!"

Chu Jinzhi was helped to the bed, his fists clenched tightly, his whole body tense without a moment's relaxation.

Another person who fainted was Jiang Rongxi.

Wangyue is a divine weapon after all. As a mortal, she fought in the crowd for a long time, and the two transformations in the middle made it almost impossible for her to stand when she shot the last arrow.

Fortunately, Lanzhi, who was beside her, quickly supported her. Seeing that their master could no longer hold on, the four of them had no choice but to take her away. Rong Xi had lost consciousness before they reached the palace gate.

She was brought back to the villa. Yu Shu looked at his unconscious master and ran outside to bring back a doctor.

The doctor was almost scared to death when he was brought in. There was chaos and war outside, and he had hidden himself with great difficulty.

The moment he saw the feather book, he thought to himself, "My life is over!"

He didn't feel relieved until he was brought here and realized that this man had no intention of killing him.

"How is my master?"

The doctor examined carefully for a long time and only spoke after confirming the condition.

"Replying to you young men, this girl is pregnant and fainted due to overwork. She just needs some rest."

"W-what? My mistress is pregnant."

"Yes, it's been more than two months."

Yu Shu's face darkened, and after a long while he spoke again, "Then how should we take care of her? When will she wake up?"

"this……"

The doctor talked about some precautions for caring for pregnant women, but he really couldn't say when she would wake up.

"Maybe he'll wake up at night, but it might take a few days."

The doctor was left in the other courtyard. He couldn't go out and didn't dare to go out at this time.

.

Chu Jinzhi woke up faster than Rong Xi. After taking the repair pills and fitness pills given by Rong Xi, although his wounds still looked horrible, his strength had recovered.

He ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, his eyes full of bitterness. Thinking of the scene of the two of them sitting here and feeding each other in the past, Chu Jinzhi felt as if his heart was hollowed out.

"Liu'er, where are you?"

After recovering a little, he took his men to search for the rebels in the city and look for Rong Xi's whereabouts.

Chi Xu was injured and only Ling Zhou was by his side.

They searched every place and found nothing after three days of searching.

He left the affairs in Shengjing to his subordinates to handle, and he was wondering whether Rong Xi would return to Qingyang City.

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and set off, searching along the way, passing through all the places they had been to and those they had not been to, and asking all the way to Qingyang City.

He first returned to her original home. Although he had already thought that this was her fake identity, he was still unwilling to give up.

He met her parents, and the result was exactly as he had imagined. He also met the real Liu'er, who was now the concubine of the prefect.

In anger, he put the knife to the prefect's neck.

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to kill you."

"Sir Admiral, I am lowering my rank..."

The prefect who still wanted to continue lying, saw Liu'er's parents and Liu'er being brought in, and now he dared not hide it anymore.

"Miss Jiang is the owner of Jinghong Tower. What happened that day was a mistake. Please spare my life, sir."

"lead the way."

The prefect dared not slack off at all, and immediately took his men to Jinghong Tower.

This place is closed during the day, so there are only a few servants guarding it.

Seeing Chu Jinzhi and the others coming, he hurried up to greet them.

"Forgive us, gentlemen, for we are only open tonight. Please come back to support us later."

"You're blind, you don't even see who this is. Hurry up and call everyone here out. The master wants to question them."

Chu Jinzhi never thought that she was the shopkeeper here.

He had all the exits blocked and then questioned everyone there one by one.

As the manager here, Yinyue is naturally the one asked the most questions.

"What did you say, sir? Rong Xi is missing."

Chu Jinzhi's eyes changed. So her name was Rong Xi? She even knew her name from others.

Humph, little girl, you like to play, right? When I find you, I will beat your butt to pieces.

But where did you go?

He also searched Qingyang City thoroughly, but still found no trace of Rong Xi.

.

Shengjing Villa!

It wasn't just Chu Jinzhi who was anxious. The four people around Rong Xi were also like ants on the hot pan.

It's been seven or eight days, why is it still not working?

Yu Shu directly mentioned the doctor who was captured that day and had no chance to leave, "When will my master wake up?"

"Young man, calm down. There's nothing wrong with this young lady's body. The reason she hasn't woken up yet is probably because of something in her heart."

In order to save his own life, the doctor had no choice but to make up a story.

"Heart knot?"

"Yes, a knot in my heart."
