Dongfang Zhe turned around, looked at the indifferent person, and said through gritted teeth.
"The Second Prince has given you too much praise. I am waiting here for your good news."
Dongfang Zhe snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left the secret passage.
As soon as he came out of the secret passage, a figure came up to him: "Your Highness, how is the matter? Has Li Ruo been killed?"
This person was obviously Ouyang Kun, who had disappeared since his home was ransacked. He asked through gritted teeth, which showed how much he hated the person who caused him to lose everything.
Dongfang Zhe snorted angrily and slammed the table. Everyone in the room trembled subconsciously.
"That guy with the ghost face actually dares to threaten me, huh, to overturn the case for the Fairy Concubine? Who else would do this except you, third brother?"
After Dongfang Zhe finished speaking, he made a gesture, and a man wearing black night clothes immediately appeared in the study.
"Fei Ge sent a letter to the border area to find out if the third prince is still guarding there."
"yes."
The man in black responded coldly and disappeared into the study.
"Your Highness, you said Ghost Face threatened you? What's going on?" Ouyang Kun saw his cold face and stepped forward to ask.
Dongfang Zhe was silent for a while, then told him what happened, and then closed his eyes to cover up the sneer flashing inside.
As time passed, a line opened in the eastern sky, and not long after, the first ray of sunlight fell.
In Tingshui Pavilion, Sikong Xuan stood in front of the window, looking at the red sun rising slowly from the east, his eyes full of confusion.
"Daddy, didn't you sleep all night?"
Hearing this confused voice, Sikong Xuan turned around, a trace of tenderness flashed across his face, then he picked up the person on the ground and said, "Hun'er, what do you think your mommy is doing now?"
"Sleep." Li Hun replied without thinking.
"Sleep?" Sikong Xuan repeated his words, murmuring in his heart, hoping that was the case.
Lihun looked at the stubble on his face and muttered:
"Daddy, don't worry. Mommy has always been a good girl and nothing will happen to her. She might show up later. You'd better go and tidy up your appearance, otherwise Mommy will dislike you.
"
Sikong Xuan touched his head, but did not express his inner worries. After all, he did not want Li Hun to be unable to sleep at night because of Li Ruo's kidnapping.
"Hun'er, didn't you say that your mother also has a good impression of men who have a sense of vicissitudes of life? Then I will go through the vicissitudes of life."
"Daddy, you don't call it a sense of vicissitudes, you call it sharp. But when Mommy comes back, she will definitely hug you and cry, so she shouldn't be so serious."
Lihun patted him on the shoulder and instilled modern ideas into him whenever he had time. Then he nestled in his arms and waited with him for Liruo's return.
Unknowingly, a morning passed, and the door of Tingshui Pavilion finally opened in the expectant eyes of the father and son.
"Young Master Xuan, we finally found the dead tree. Do you want to go and have a look?" Dongfang Yao also had stubble on his face, but his expression was full of joy.
"Walk."
After Sikong Xuan finished speaking, he hugged Li Hun and flew out of Tingshui Pavilion.
To the southeast outside the city, a group of people wearing black clothes stood upright, with three circles inside and three circles around a dead tree.
When Sikong Xuan arrived, they immediately separated a road to let them in.
