“Sister Ali, actually, my brother had no choice. Our place isn’t as harmonious as your palace, and my brother’s identity is so special. If my brother doesn’t take action, they will kill him.” Rong Yueqing felt it was necessary to salvage her brother’s image.
No girl likes a man who is constantly killing and fighting, except for special cases like His Highness the God of War.
Although Sister Ali can't become his sister-in-law, she can't have too bad an impression of his brother either, otherwise it will affect their friendship.
Outside the door, Rong Chengjue had just reached the doorway when his hand, which was about to push the door open, stopped.
He wanted to hear Qu Tong's answer.
Qu Tong was helping Rong Yueqing organize the medicinal herbs when she heard this. She smiled and said, "I know, Yueqing, you don't need to explain to me. Different countries have different circumstances, so the way of handling things will naturally be different."
The Canaanite Empire was the most ideal existence, just like Cyprus, which also required a life-or-death struggle.
They may not necessarily want to fight, but if they don't fight, they might be the ones who die.
She wasn't prejudiced, nor would she break off her deal with Rong Chengjue because of this.
Rong Yueqing was unaware of Qu Tong's thoughts. Upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, as did Rong Chengjue outside the door.
Rong Chengjue's personal computer lit up at that moment.
Looking down at the location display on the immigration card, Rong Chengjue narrowed his long, narrow eyes.
He recalled the news brought back by the guards who had escorted Rong Yueqing.
Si Yuting!
The newly appointed Treasurer noticed Rong Chengjue raising and lowering his hand twice, and asked with suspicion, "Your Highness, aren't you going in?"
Rong Chengjue glanced at the door. "No, I'm going back. I have more important things to do."
*
Rong Chengjue was unmarried, and Rong Yueqing was the most noble princess of the Casa Empire.
Rong Chengjue was probably too slow. It wasn't until the night before the ceremony that the royal dress Rong Yueqing needed to wear was delivered, and a set was also prepared for Qu Tong as well.
Qu Tong touched the dress covered in rhinestones, her brows furrowing slightly. This dress was no less valuable than Rong Yueqing's, and even more exquisitely made, with a touch more classical beauty.
Rong Yueqing knew this was her brother's doing. While inwardly cursing her brother for being biased, she advised, "Sister Ali, you are a respected master of medicine. My brother's success today is inseparable from you. You should dress up beautifully and attend the event in your finest attire. We can't treat you unfairly."
"Besides, the ceremony starts tomorrow morning, so it's too late to change it now."
Qu Tong didn't necessarily have to participate in such a complicated ceremony, but Yue Qing's expectation made it impossible for her to refuse.
In the end, Qu Tong wore the clothes, but only wore half of the complete set of jewelry.
To avoid attracting attention, Qu Tong also restored her hair to black.
Rong Yueqing was very curious, "How did Sister Ali do that?"
Qu Tong smiled but didn't say anything, and touched Rong Yueqing's hair, "Your hair is very beautiful."
Although many people say her silver-white hair looks good, she thinks her natural original color is the best.
Rong Yueqing's hair color is not the usual black, but a golden brown that appears slightly golden under the light. However, this is her natural hair color, and it looks very good.
Rong Chengjue had arranged everything perfectly. Qu Tong sat directly next to Rong Yueqing and watched the entire ceremony.
People would occasionally cast curious glances their way, but no one would be so tactless as to cause trouble.
Many people know that His Majesty the King has a mysterious apothecary supporting him, but no one expected that this apothecary would be so young.
The coronation ceremony went smoothly. Those who were present were mostly people who supported Rong Chengjue, as well as people from two other countries who came to offer their congratulations.
Qu Tong also saw the Crown Prince during the banquet, but because she was wearing a veil and the foreign guests' viewing area was not very close to her, the Crown Prince did not recognize her.
The whole process was grand and complicated, somewhat Westernized, but it was also a novel experience.
Afterwards, Rong Yueqing really wanted to take her sightseeing, but unfortunately, she was too busy with work and banquets to find the time.
After wandering around the capital, Qu Tong prepared to return home.
On the day Qu Tong left, Rong Chengjue, who was even busier than Rong Yueqing, actually took the time to personally see her off. He gave her a lot of so-called specialties from the Casa Empire, which made Qu Tong, who had only prepared medicine for Rong Yueqing, feel a little embarrassed.
She only prepared a constitution-enhancing potion, but it was useless against Rong Chengjue, who was an SSS-level cultivator.
In the end, Qu Tong could only manage a dry "thank you".
I've decided to give Rong Chengjue a few more doses of medicine next month.
Rong Chengjue gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
Qu Tong just felt that Rong Chengjue's eyes held a hint of resentment.
It must be a misperception. Rong Chengjue has always been generous, and he is the ruler of a country. Why would he care about such a small amount of money?
After saying goodbye to Rong Yueqing, she decided to make a detour back to Luoyi Star, as it had been a long time since she had been back.
As soon as Si Yuting arrived in Casablanca, he learned that Qu Tong had already left. He glanced in the direction of the palace, but without resting, he boarded the spaceship again and left.
It took Qu Tong almost three days to travel from Casa Didu to Luo Yi Xing. There was an asteroid belt in between, and Qu Tong had to pilot the spacecraft himself.
As soon as I got back to Loy Star, I went straight to sleep.
So when Si Yuting arrived in the middle of the night, Qu Tong's personal computer rang, but she didn't notice.
Qu Tong was awakened by a burning gaze.
What would you feel if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a dark figure next to your bed?
It sent chills down my spine.
The hair on my body stood on end.
My heart has stopped beating!
Qu Tong was about to deliver a fatal blow to the thug, but she managed to suppress it.
Taking a deep breath, filled with resentment, she said, "My lord, what are you doing? Is this some kind of midnight horror story?"
The lights were turned on, and Qu Tong felt a little uncomfortable. She reached out to block them, but was pulled into a firm embrace.
Si Yuting held her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear.
Qu Tong sensed that Si Yuting's emotions were not right, so she chose not to move.
Is something going wrong at work?
"I'm sorry." A low voice came from behind my ear.
ah?
Qu Tong was a little taken aback.
"Why this time?"
"Tell me if I've done anything to upset you."
He, who was usually so meticulous, was now speaking in a somewhat disordered manner, leaving Qu Tong completely bewildered.
who I am?
Where am I?
What is he saying?
"No way! Are you sick in the head??" Qu Tong pushed Si Yuting's shoulder to create some distance.
I woke her up in the middle of the night and she started saying some nonsensical things.
She was a bit grumpy when she woke up, and since Si Yuting hadn't contacted her for almost half a month, she was also a little resentful.
Qu Tong pulled the flattened little dinosaur out from under Si Yuting, and smiled, "Your Highness, I have a treasure to show you, come with me."
With the starlight from the stone blocked by him, Si Yuting only heard Qu Tong's extremely soft voice and subconsciously followed along.
Qu Tong took Si Yuting's hand and led him outside, then slammed the door shut.
Si Yuting: "..." (End of this chapter)
