Chapter 211

The Crown Prince had already thoroughly investigated Rong Rong's matter.

When he learned that the conflict between Lu Linfeng and Chen Liehu was only because of a woman, he was shocked, but quickly lost interest in the matter.

However, I feel ashamed that he has wasted time and energy on matters concerning his children.

The prince found it amusing whenever he thought about it afterward.

This chance encounter at Baiwei Pavilion made the Crown Prince raise an eyebrow. He finally understood why Lu Linfeng and Chen Liehu had both fallen for the same person, especially since they disregarded the awkward fact that the other person was once his sister.

"She is indeed a beauty," the prince exclaimed.

Even though he had seen his father's three thousand beauties, even though the most beautiful woman in the Feng Dynasty was his mother, and even though his harem was full of women of all shapes and sizes, he had to admit it.

The woman before him was exceptionally beautiful; even in the entire Feng Dynasty, she was a figure who would leave a deep impression and linger in one's memory.

Otherwise, the people in the hall wouldn't have been so stunned, completely captivated without even seeing her true face beneath the veil.

However, despite thinking so much, the Crown Prince had no interest in people whatsoever. He had seen plenty of beauties, and they were all just so-so.

He will possess the entire world, all under heaven will be his land, and all people within the realm will be his subjects. Everything will belong to him. When you have enough, you won't care about a small embellishment.

The crown prince, a faint smile playing on his lips, walked downstairs.

When he was five steps away from the woman, he smelled a delicate fragrance.

The fragrance of the stunning beauty was more intoxicating than any scent he had ever smelled before.

When he was two steps away from the woman, he could clearly see her eyes, which were exposed outside her veil.

It's like a collection of countless stars, dazzling, beautiful, dreamlike and enchanting.

The prince paused as he brushed past the woman.

"Your Highness?"

Those behind, not understanding why the Crown Prince had suddenly stopped, looked at each other in bewilderment. They looked at each other, and finally all looked at the Crown Prince.

The crown prince stared blankly, his face showing an unprecedented bewilderment.

It was as if I were possessed, or as if I had fallen into a dream.

And that's pretty much the case.

Perhaps it's the angle, or perhaps the veil on the beauty's face has come loose.

In short, the prince had just passed by and glanced at the beauty's face clearly.

A slender figure, an ethereal temperament, an alluring fragrance, and beautiful eyes—all these qualities that would make one of them ecstatic become utterly insignificant in the face of a woman's ultimate beauty.

How could there be such a stunning beauty in the world? He, who thought he had seen countless beauties and had little interest in them, instantly turned into a naive young man.

He felt an unprecedented surge of excitement; his body trembled slightly, and his blood began to boil.

He had never wanted anything so intensely, so intensely that it even surpassed his desire for the supreme position.

"Your Highness?"

The repeated calls from those beside him finally brought the prince back to reality. He turned around instantly, but only caught a glimpse of the beauty's skirt.

The crown prince stared in that direction for a long time, his eyes gradually darkening.

As soon as Rongrong entered the private room, she removed her veil. Qiao'er had inquired beforehand and ordered a table full of signature dishes for Rongrong.

The waiter was dazed and confused, staring blankly at Rong Rong, and didn't remember the names of the dishes Qiao'er ordered at all.

Finally, Qiao'er lost her temper, turning into a shrew, and invoking the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion to intimidate people. Only then did the waiter panic and look away, running out in a hurry to serve the dishes.

Soon, the dishes Rong Rong had ordered were laid out on the table in front of her.

Rongrong and Qiao'er were visiting for the first time and were unfamiliar with the place. For most people, it would take at least an incense stick's time to wait for the food to be served.

Even if Marquis Lu Linfeng, the Lord of Zhenguo, were to arrive in person, he would have to sit and wait for a long time. But for Rong Rong, the entire table of dishes was served in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

What kind of privileges did Rong Rong enjoy?

It can be said that the entire kitchen of Baiwei Pavilion was dedicated to serving Rong Rong, and the people serving Rong Rong's dishes were never the same. All the waiters in the store took turns coming in, and finally the person serving the dishes was fixed and became the manager.

They all entered with curiosity, excitement, and enthusiasm, only to leave with blank minds and dazed expressions.

It's fortunate that no particularly important people are dining at Baiwei Pavilion right now; otherwise, given Baiwei Pavilion's policy of prioritizing Rong Rong's needs, it would likely offend many powerful and influential people.

The dishes at Baiwei Pavilion lived up to their reputation, and Rong Rong enjoyed her meal immensely. Rong Rong didn't notice anything strange about Baiwei Pavilion, but Qiao'er did. However, she felt it wasn't necessary to tell Rong Rong, as such a small matter wasn't worth disturbing her young lady's enjoyment.

In Qiao'er's opinion, wasn't it only right for her young lady to enjoy special privileges? It was not worth mentioning at all.

Later, Baiweige sent them free dishes under various pretexts, and Qiao'er accepted it all with a calm expression. She even explained to Rong Rong that this was a common activity of Baiweige.

Rong Rong was unaware of the truth and only thought that this restaurant knew how to do business, no wonder it was so famous and popular.

It was a pleasant lunch.

Rong Rong finished the last sip of fruit wine, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and got up with satisfaction.

However, she suddenly felt weak and her vision went black. Before she could even stand up, she slumped softly onto the table.

Before losing consciousness, Rong Rong seemed to see a group of people burst in...

Evening, at the Zhenguo Marquis's residence.

For the first time ever, Lu Youning came to Lu Linfeng's courtyard.

His expression was solemn, anxious, and worried.

Rong Rong went out to buy medicine this morning and has not returned home yet.

Rong Rong clearly said she would be back in the afternoon before she left.

Lu Youning knew that Rong Rong would go to Baiwei Pavilion at noon. When he couldn't find her, he sent someone to look for her there. However, the people at Baiwei Pavilion said that Rong Rong had already left.

Where did Rong Rong go?

Lu Youning felt extremely uneasy. He immediately sent people to search the entire capital city, but after a whole afternoon of searching, there was still no news.

Lu Youning realized that Rong Rong was probably in trouble.

He lacked manpower and needed to mobilize the entire Zhenguo Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, Lu Youning couldn't care less about not wanting to go out. He hurriedly went to Lu Linfeng and told him about Rong Rong's disappearance. Lu Linfeng's expression immediately changed, and dark clouds seemed to roll around him.

"Why didn't you send someone to protect Rong Rong? How could you let her go out alone?"

This was the first time Lu Linfeng questioned his elder brother, and the first time he unleashed the power of a marquis in front of Lu Youning.

Lu Youning felt a heavy blow to his heart. He looked deeply at Lu Linfeng. The younger brother who used to follow him around in his memory had really grown up and was now taller than him.

It wasn't physical stature that made him tall, but spiritual stature, so tall that it suffocated him.

"Brother, you've been slacking off for too long!"

Lu Linfeng's words were like a wake-up call, instantly sobering up Lu Youning, who had been living in a daze and just getting by.
