When the Ninth Prince went outside, Lady Dong E ordered her servants to bring him clothes, but they were men's clothes. The Ninth Prince immediately ordered his servants to change him into women's clothes.
Nan Yi ignored him, put on men's clothing, and immediately became a tomboy, except that this tomboy was a little too handsome.
"You mean after we left, that man in black came after you again and then fell off the cliff? Nan Yi, were you hurt?" Ninth Prince asked worriedly.
