"Shameless wretch, I will remember this grudge!"
This terrifying ghost that emerged from the abyss was none other than Shang Yang, who had been chewed up and eaten by Qiongqi. However, he no longer had a true body, only a ghostly form.
"You've ruined my path to becoming a demon and robbed me of my unparalleled opportunity!"
"If I don't avenge this, I will have failed as a human being!"
...
On the airship, Rong Xi shivered for no reason, a chill running down her spine.
She turned around abruptly, looking behind her. Just a moment ago, she had a sudden feeling that something was staring at her from behind, which terrified her.
But behind her, there was nothing.
"System, can you sense it?"
Rong Xi secretly communicated with the system.
However, the system remains frozen...
"Taotie!"
Unable to find security in the system, Rong Xi turned to Taotie, having it constantly watch over her. As for Qiongqi, it was unreliable and couldn't be entrusted with important tasks at the moment.
The airship reached its maximum speed and finally arrived at its destination at dawn.
In the northwest frontier of the Qing Dynasty, beyond the Jade Gate Pass, lies a small town called Zichuan, where the Fourth Prince is currently located.
Zichuan is very small, covering an area of no more than a hundred miles.
The town of Zichuan is surrounded by vast Gobi Desert and sand dunes.
"Are you kidding me?"
As the airship slowly descended upon the small town of Zichuan, Rong Xi took the opportunity to survey the surroundings. The result of her survey was that the Fourth Prince had been sent to guard the Qing Dynasty's borders—this was tantamount to exile!
The town of Zichuan is situated in an oasis. Within a radius of a thousand miles, this is the only oasis, and only here is there a source of water.
The small town is surrounded by tall and thick city walls, which are engraved with many array patterns.
As the airship approached, Rong Xi discovered that beneath the outer walls of the small town of Zichuan, there lay countless corpses of ferocious beasts and monsters.
The corpses of these ferocious beasts and monsters were still very fresh, and the bloodstains on the city walls had not yet been washed away.
The airship landed in the small town, and border soldiers immediately stepped forward to hand over the official documents to Su Peisheng. The supplies on the airship were quickly inventoried and then transported away.
As for Rong Xi, the wife of Prince Yong, she was completely ignored by the border troops.
Where is the Fourth Prince?
Rong Xi looked at Su Peisheng and spoke softly.
When the airship left Yumen Pass, Su Peisheng had contacted the Fourth Prince.
But now that Rong Xi has arrived, there isn't even anyone here to greet her.
Rong Xi wasn't the kind of woman who was pretentious or affected, but she was, after all, the wife of a prince. If the Fourth Prince cared about her even a little, he wouldn't be completely unresponsive.
"Reporting to the Princess Consort, the Prince should be at the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Are all the people from the Prince's Mansion at the City Lord's Mansion?"
Rong Xi frowned slightly as she looked at Su Peisheng.
"No, there is another residence for the prince within the city!"
"Then let's go back to the Prince's Mansion!"
After a moment's thought, Rong Xi decided not to see the Fourth Prince. She wasn't one to be foolish; there was no reason for her to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen. Even if the Fourth Prince's memories had been altered, Rong Xi still felt uneasy.
What can Su Peisheng say?
The prince is the master, and so is the princess consort.
When his two masters are at odds, all he can do is listen to whoever is in front of him.
...
Zichuan City is small, and the Prince Yong's Mansion here is even smaller.
However, when Rong Xi arrived at Prince Yong's residence, she felt a sense of familiarity. The size of the residence was similar to that of the Yonghe Temple, which she had visited before, and it felt very homey.
As for the Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital, it was too big and too spacious.
"master!"
When Rong Xi appeared in the Prince's mansion, Xi Que and Jiang Zi were overjoyed to see her.
As Nascent Soul cultivators, Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were much calmer than Magpie and Crimson Purple. However, both of them were also very happy to see Rong Xi appear.
As Rongxi's guardian nannies, they would be held responsible if anything happened to her.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Rong Xi entered the Prince's residence, Consort Li and Consort Song appeared before her almost simultaneously and greeted her.
"No need for that, everyone please sit down!"
Rong Xi remained calm. Having gone through so much, she no longer harbored the same initial fear of Consort Li and Consort Song.
If it weren't for Ulanara's obsession with the Fourth Prince, and with her pregnant body, Rong Xi would definitely have found a mountain to establish her own sect.
"Thank you, Madam Xie!"
Consort Li and Consort Song thanked Rong Xi in unison before taking their seats on the chairs on either side.
"I've been away from home these past few days, and I'm so sorry to have troubled you all!"
Rong Xi's gaze swept over the faces of Consort Li and Consort Song, and she spoke softly.
"This is all I should do!"
The two answered in unison.
Back then, Rong Xi's scheming created a rift between the two. Now, she's only been gone a short time, and they seem to have regained their sisterly affection.
Of course, no one knows how much of this sisterly affection is genuine and how much is fake!
"Has anything major happened at the manor these past few days?"
Looking at the two best friends, Rong Xi wondered if she should cause them some more trouble.
Unfortunately, before she could figure out where to start, the Fourth Prince returned at that very moment.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
When Consort Li and Consort Song saw the Fourth Prince appear, they immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to greet him.
