Or was she, as Qin Qingyao had said, the future consort of Prince Duan? Was she the woman who would become the Empress of Zhaoling State?
If that was the case, Prince Duan could bring his own woman to discuss serious matters, so why couldn't Qin Qingyao even know about it? Why didn't he even say hello to Qin Qingyao when he entered the door?
The princess who completely ignored him...
And before Qin Qingyao left, she wished the three of them a long and happy marriage with red eyes. Was she hinting at something or was she just angry?
The three of them could not be together forever, and it was impossible for Lin Xiafeng to marry him as a concubine. Although according to her status as a concubine's daughter, she could marry into the palace as a concubine, which was definitely a high marriage.
But Lin Xiafeng has always given Dugu Yu the feeling that she will never be at the mercy of fate, nor will she be bound by her humble status.
She would not be anyone's concubine, nor would she marry a petty official just to become the principal wife...
Then she...
I don’t know if it was because Qin Qingyao always told him that Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng were a family, so he was infected by it.
Looking at the two people standing together at this time, and seeing that the one dared to act cold and petty in front of Prince Duan, while Prince Duan was still patiently trying to please and coax her, Dugu Yu actually felt for the first time that the two people seemed to have gone far beyond the so-called good friends.
Therefore, it can only be Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng who are together forever, and he is an outsider.
He, an outsider, drove his own princess out for the sake of that happy couple...
Dugu Yu really wanted to find Qin Qingyao now. He didn't know if she was hiding and crying, but Prince Duan had almost coaxed Lin Xiafeng.
Then he added, "Dugu will definitely help you vent your anger and let her know what the rules are. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer this injustice in vain."
"Don't you think so, Dugu?"
"Huh?" Dugu Yu came back to his senses after being called by Ling Jingxuan, but he didn't hear clearly what he had just said.
Prince Duan glared at him and said, "We can't just let this matter go. Although Feng'er doesn't mind, you will seek justice for her, right?"
Lin Xiafeng pursed her lips, looking as if she would leave immediately if she wasn't satisfied. Dugu Yu nodded, "Yeah."
…
Qin Qingyao left the study and went straight out of the house.
Because she often goes out, sometimes with servants and sometimes not, the doorman did not stop her today.
It was already mid-afternoon when Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng left Prince Wuling's Mansion.
Dugu Yu was more anxious than he thought, so much so that he didn't even hear clearly what the two people said to him. He just kept nodding and agreeing, hoping that they would leave quickly so that he could go and see how Qin Qingyao was doing.
After a lot of effort, Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng left the palace contentedly, but he didn't find Qin Qingyao at home.
Then he would ask everyone he met, "Where is the princess?"
Everyone looked puzzled, "I didn't see it!"
There was no garden, no bedroom, no little study of her own, and even the strange afternoon tea snacks she made for him every afternoon were gone today.
Although he had always thrown it away without blinking an eye and never eaten it once before, he still felt like something was missing when he didn't eat it today.
Finally, everyone realized that they had not seen the princess in the afternoon. The butler ran to the gatehouse and found out that the princess had gone out more than an hour ago. She looked very angry and did not take anything.
Dugu Yu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and his first reaction was that Qin Qingyao must have returned to her parents' home.
But he didn't understand that Qin Qingyao had no intention of divorcing him, so she wouldn't run back to her parents' home. She was a filial person and wouldn't let her parents and brothers get upset with these trivial matters.
She was just feeling so aggrieved that she had no destination at all and was just running around aimlessly.
Dugu Yu didn't let her go to the study, but let Lin Xiafeng go, and talked to those two dogs behind closed doors, as if she was an outsider. Is there anything that Lin Xiafeng can hear but she can't?
What's even more outrageous is that she bravely stood up to oppose the male and female protagonists for Dugu Yu. She told him countless times how ambitious Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng were, but why did he always turn his arm away?
Even though he is unable to fight back due to the plot setting, it still makes me angry!
She went into a tavern by herself, sat down and had just two drinks when someone took away her wine jug.
"Mo Rongce? Why are you trying to steal my wine? If you want to drink, go buy it yourself!"
"The princess is in a bad mood?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Have you ever seen anyone in a good mood come out to drink by themselves in the afternoon?"
Murong Ce: “…”
"But you can't drink much, so don't drink. It's easy to get into trouble."
"What happened?"
Murong Ce blurted out, "Drunk? Going crazy? Making a fool of himself in the street, or running into some lecher or something."
Qin Qingyao, "You are so experienced?"
"No, I just watch a lot."
"Tsk, what's your hobby? You just squat in front of the restaurant all day, watching those drunk people laugh? Do you know why they are drunk? Do you know how many stories they have in their hearts?"
"You don't know anything. You're just an insignificant, self-righteous passerby who thinks you're the most sober and shameless. It's none of your business whether they embarrass themselves or not. Did you spend your money on alcohol?"
Murong Ce pondered for a long time, then nodded seriously, "Princess, your words have enlightened me. Let me toast to you!"
"Tsk, in the end you still try to steal my drink!"
"Why on earth is the princess drinking?"
"I'm bored."
"Well, why don't we do something fun?"
"What's going on?"
"Let's burn incense and pray to Buddha."
"hehe……"
It’s really fucking interesting!
Princess Wu Ling is missing.
Dugu Yu went to the Qin family for dinner that night and brought a lot of gifts. Seeing that the Qin family seemed to be unaware of the situation, he didn't dare to tell Qin Qingyao that he had angered her, so he just said he came to take a look.
As a result, after the meal, Qin Qingyao did not come out. Since the Qin family repeatedly told him to remember to bring my youngest son back next time, he knew that Qin Qingyao did not go back to her parents' home.
Then he went to Yang's house again, but Qin Qingyao was not there.
When we came out of Yang's house, it was already dark.
Dugu Yu walked back along the road, and his heart had never felt so empty and so scared.
I’m afraid Qin Qingyao won’t come back.
The doorman asked, his neck almost breaking, "I really only saw the princess go out, but didn't see her come back. And when the princess went out, she didn't take anything with her!"
Before curfew, Dugu Yu found the tavern where Qin Qingyao was drinking.
The shopkeeper trembled as he took out the golden hairpin that Qin Qingyao had taken off to pay for the wine. "The princess was drinking alone at first, and then a well-mannered young man came. Seeing him chatting with the princess, he must know her."
"The two of them drank three pots of wine, and the princess got a little tipsy, so she left this hairpin behind... and..."
"Just what?"
The shopkeeper fell to his knees, holding his head and begging for mercy, "I will leave with that young master."
Dugu Yu crushed the wine glass in his hand with a snap. He never thought that he could even remember the appearance of a hairpin on Qin Qingyao's head so clearly!
He never thought that Qin Qingyao would drink with a man other than him and walk with someone else.
He thought of the last time outside the city, when he didn't listen to Qin Qingyao and insisted on getting off the car to help fight the bandits, and she seemed to have become a different person.
Thinking of her behavior at that time and the way she looked at him, Dugu Yu felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head.
Dugu Yu's hands were shaking, and the golden hairpin in his hand was bent by him.
He suddenly had the urge to slap himself hard. Didn't he promise not to make her angry again?
She was obviously more angry today than last time. Not only did he bring the person she hated home and into the study, he also helped others to drive her away.
He was the one who drove her away...
"Where did they go?"
"She just...just went out, and seemed to be heading towards the city gate. Your Majesty, please spare me. I really didn't know that it was Princess Wu Ling at the time. I really didn't recognize her..."
"That's enough. You'd better keep this matter to yourself. If anyone else knows that the princess has been to your place..."
Dugu Yu loosened his grip, and the broken porcelain scattered all over the table.
The shopkeeper fainted with a thud.
He actually witnessed Princess Wu Ling having a secret meeting with someone in his small restaurant and then running away.
If the prince brings the princess back, he will definitely kill her. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive!
After waking up, the shopkeeper immediately sold the small restaurant at a low price and took his entire family back to his hometown to hide.
…
Dugu Yu was found on the street just before curfew when Zhao Jinghan forcibly dragged him back home.
"Your Majesty, if we continue to search aimlessly like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the princess."
Apart from anything else, it would be bad if the reputation got out.
Of course Dugu Yu knew it, but what could he do? What should he do?
What he was worried about now was not that Qin Qingyao had run away with someone, but that she was in danger.
It was really strange. He had never been so sure in his life. There was someone who would never abandon him no matter what. His parents, master, and brothers who had been through thick and thin with him all had their own lives to live when they returned.
Only Qin Qingyao, only she would stick to him and depend on him forever, Dugu Yu believed it without a doubt.
Dugu Yu didn't eat dinner. After curfew, the entire Yulin City fell into silence.
This was the first time since Qin Qingyao married into the palace that she was not at home at night and was not around.
He didn't dare go back to the bedroom alone.
Walking along the roads in the mansion, I unknowingly arrived at the garden.
Then I saw an old flower farmer sitting by the flower bed and sighing.
Seeing Dugu Yu passing by, he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or deliberately speaking to him.
"The princess saw the begonias blooming today and was so happy that she went to ask the prince to come and see them together. But she never came back."
Dugu Yu looked from afar and saw that the small tree had five flowers in bloom.
In this world, Qin Qingyao is probably the only one who would want to drag him to see the five crabapple flowers as if they were presenting treasures.
But he drove her out because of two outsiders.
