Chapter 159: Escaping and Getting Caught

  See the Ninth Prince.

  Although the Ninth King was not in favor and had no power, he was still a king after all, and the proper etiquette should still be followed.

  After seeing the Ninth King, Dongfang Hong had a few doubts in his heart. He always felt that this Ninth King was not as weak and decadent as rumored.

  "Get up." The Ninth King's voice was as calm and flat as the impression he gave, without a hint of ups and downs.

  "Yes, Your Highness, please come in." After standing up, Dongfang Hong led the Ninth Prince and his entourage to the main hall.

  And those young ladies who originally wanted to take a look at what the Ninth Prince looked like were all somewhat stunned when they saw him.

  Although his face can't be seen, the temperament of this Ninth King is a thousand times better than what they imagined. The moon-white brocade suits him perfectly, bringing out a hint of elegance, and amidst the calmness, there's a hint of refinement. Is this person really the legendary useless king?

  Seeing the Ninth Prince, Dongfang Qiutong was even more jealous and her eyes turned red. Why did that stupid guy have such good luck? This wasn't a useless prince at all, but rather a noble and elegant imperial son from head to toe!

  Not only was Dongfang Qiutong jealous, but all the women in the Dongfang family were so envious that they went crazy when they thought of the Ninth Prince marrying Dongfang Fengfei. It's really like a beautiful flower inserted into cow dung!

  Of course, this cow dung is definitely not referring to Ji Wang Ye!

  "The master of the East, I have a presumptuous request, I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"

  The Ninth King ignored those fiery gazes and calmly said to Dongfang Hong.

  "Please speak, Your Highness."

  Although Dongfang Hong agreed verbally, he thought to himself, "Since it's an unreasonable request, why did you bring it up?"

  "I want to go see Miss Qi, is it possible?"

  "This..."

  When he heard that the Ninth King was going to see Dongfang Fengfei, Dongfang Hong's heart was filled with a tangled knot. Originally, seeing his own fiancée wasn't a big deal, but now the problem was...

  "But is there something difficult?"

  Dongfang Hong hesitated, but Ji Wangye remained calm and collected as usual.

  "This, the prince also knows that I'm special, so I live alone in the bamboo garden at the back mountain. The environment is quiet and cool, I just fear that it will slow down the prince."

  "It doesn't matter, I'll just take a look and leave."

  Dongfang Hong didn't notice that when Jiu Wangye heard about the bamboo house on the back mountain, there was a fleeting ripple in his eyes.

  "Well, it's possible that I'll have to trouble Your Highness to go alone, as I'm not fond of interacting with too many people."

  Dongfang Hong said it very tactfully, because he also knew that with Dongfang Feng's notorious reputation now, there might not be anyone in the mansion willing to guide the Ninth Prince.

  "Alright, I'll just go with my personal guard then, no need to trouble the master of the house."

  The Ninth King said calmly and then let his black-clad bodyguard push him towards the back mountain.

  "What? That prince has arrived? This is too fast, never mind him, let's hurry up and pack our things, prepare to leave." Dongfang Fengfei said while packing her luggage.

  "Miss, why do you want to leave?"

  Zhu'er didn't understand, although she also didn't want Miss to marry that crippled prince, but hadn't Miss already agreed to marry him?

  "Yes, I'm going to travel around and come back on the day of my grand wedding. Are you coming with your family's young lady?" Dongfang Fengfei said calmly to Zhu'er.

  "Really? That's great, Zhen has never left Fenglin Town before."

  When she heard that she could go on a trip, Zhuer was very happy and agreed, without any suspicion of the authenticity of Dongfang Fengfei's words.

  Dongfang Fengfei's wedding is in just half a month, now it's the time to prepare her wedding dress and dowry, who would still want to go traveling at this time?!

  "That's why hurry up and pack your luggage." Seeing that Zhu'er had been deceived, Dongfang Fengyi let out a sigh of relief.

  "Miss Qi, where are you going?"

  Just as Dongfang Fengyi and Zhu'er finished packing their things and were about to leave the yard, a calm voice came from the entrance of the courtyard.
