C16 The Dagger Disappeared Without a Trace

This woman had the foresight to know that he had to kill her.

"Tell me first, are you big or is the empress dowager big? Empress Dowager has promised me that as long as I live, out of Lanjiang, she won't make things difficult for me again. " This was the only thing Du Jiuyue could bet on.

"You …" Sima Qi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He was tricked.

This woman had calculated everything long ago, as if she knew that she would be able to come out of the Lanjiang, but she actually asked the empress dowager for such a promise.

Clenching his fist, Sima Qi's handsome face was a little distorted. Their faces all became hideous.

"The empress dowager can only protect you for a short period of time, but the dagger in your hand can also take your life." Sima Qi ground his teeth. He had never tried to make a fool of himself like this before. He knew that the guards around the courtyard had all seen the scene.

However, they couldn't see that Sima Qi had lost. Sima Qi didn't want to embarrass himself too much.

"I have my own plans for my life. There's no need for Prince Qi to worry about it. There's only one thing I want from you right now. " Du Jiuyue originally thought that it would take some time, but now, Sima Qi gave her a good chance.

"What is it?" Sima Qi gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice. The sword was pressed against his heart, and the pain on his skin also let him know that this woman would not show any mercy.

"The rest of the book." Du Jiuyue went straight to the point.

"The divorce...?" Sima Qi sneered: "Are you worthy?"

"Prince Qi should know better than anyone whether he's worthy or not." Du Jiuyue also gritted her teeth as she pushed her sword forward a bit more. Sima Qi's expression turned even more sinister.

Sima Qi didn't answer right away. He smiled, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were even colder and colder.

"If you want the letter, yes." Sima Qi ignored the short sword on his chest and suddenly stepped forward and whispered into Du Jiuyue's ear. Du Jiuyue immediately loosened her grip to prevent herself from being stabbed to death.

Sima Qi smiled sinisterly and whispered into her ear: "As long as you can live past tomorrow, I will consider giving you a rest."

It was not difficult to get a letter of rest, but it would be equivalent to slapping his own face. If a letter of rest could be settled, he would not go through so much trouble.

"Alright, I'll keep my word." Du Jiuyue naturally didn't think that she wouldn't live past tomorrow.

"Golden words." Sima Qi sneered.

Du Jiuyue was also laughing. She could see what Sima Qi was planning to do, but unfortunately, he had miscalculated.

She quickly pulled away from Sima Qi, as if nothing had happened, and quickly kept her short sword back into her jade bracelet.

She stood in front of Sima Qi with a smile on her face. She was as slim and graceful as a lotus flower in a pond. Her facial features were very gentle. No one would be able to see her ruthlessness as long as she put away her piercing gaze.

In fact, from the looks of it, Du Jiuyue was far superior to Liu Lianke. However, she lacked Liu Lianke's delicate beauty and appeared to be more imposing. She seemed to be more compatible with her.

However, Sima Qi did not think so. The pain from the wound on his short sword reminded him that the pressure was greater when he was with her.

"Someone, Du Jiuyue wants to kill Ben Wang. Capture him." Sima Qi only calmed down for a moment before taking a few steps back. Then, he revealed a sinister smile to Du Jiuyue and shouted loudly.

The group of guards rushed forward and took Du Jiuyue captive without a word.

"What a joke." However, Du Jiuyue didn't struggle at all and instead shouted, "I am a weak, weak, and defenseless woman. How could I kill Prince Qi? Is it because the prince wants to kill me that he wants to add to his crimes? "

"Search her, she has a short sword on her." Of course Sima Qi wouldn't take this loss for free.

The dozen guards looked at each other, unable to do anything. The dozen or so men really did search Princess Qi's body. Even if they managed to find her, their lives would still be in this place.

"Summon a few maidservants." Sima Qi also noticed this and was extremely angry.

The head steward called eight big maidservant and quickly surrounded Du Jiuyue, not daring to breathe too loudly.

"Bring them in and search them." Sima Qi shouted in exasperation. He didn't even look at Du Jiuyue as he waited for the result with a cold expression.

Du Jiuyue was very cooperative, smiling as she followed the eight big maidservant into the nearest room, openly allowing them to search her body.

Eight big maidservant searched her one by one. After more than an hour, they finally gave up and left the room with Du Jiuyue. Each of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Sima Qi as if they wanted to eat someone.

"Weapons?" Sima Qi saw the expression on the faces of maidservant and felt that something was wrong.

"Reporting to Your Highness, six … Ninth Miss doesn't have a weapon on her body, nothing at all. " One of the oldest ones, maidservant, said shakily. She couldn't find anything, and when she saw Sima Qi's eyes that seemed like he was going to eat someone, she knew that her future would not be good.

Of course they understood this, but today was so sudden, they were completely unprepared.

"No?" How is that possible? " Sima Qi's eyes suddenly lit up. He pushed away the big maidservant beside Du Jiuyue, walked up to Du Jiuyue and tugged her sleeve, pulling her into the room. He wanted to do it himself, but he couldn't believe it.

"Prince Qi, don't regret it." Du Jiuyue only smiled coldly and didn't struggle.

The next second, she was thrown onto the bed by Sima Qi.

"This King will never regret it." Sima Qi said coldly, but he didn't do anything as he stood in front of the bed. If he really were to make a move, perhaps that person in the palace would become restless.

With a cold expression, he stared at Du Lingyue's face and gritted his teeth as he asked, "What about that sword?"

"What sword? What did Prince Qi want to say? " Du Jiuyue smiled and sat up on the bed as if nothing had happened.

"Damn." Sima Qi was so angry that he was on the verge of breaking down. He really wanted to know how Du Jiuyue did it. Why couldn't he find the dagger just now?

He was furious, but he could only stare at Du Jiuyue. What was even more infuriating was that Du Jiuyue had an extremely annoying expression.

On top of a big tree in Prince Qi's Palace, Xuan Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at everything in the courtyard, "It has been a while since the two of them went in … Prince Qi wouldn't... "He won't..."

However, the cold look in his eyes seemed to be incompatible with his temperament, as if he was a stranger that was not to be approached.

He didn't look at Xuan Yu and his expression didn't change at all. He just watched quietly.

"If Prince Qi had changed his mind, I'm afraid that Miss Du Family would have died an even more miserable death." Xuan Yu continued, "Noble Consort Liu's methods of killing are quite impressive."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at his master.

"Enough?" The man finally looked at Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu immediately shut his mouth and became expressionless.

The two people in the room were still staring at each other, neither of them wanting to give up. Actually, Sima Qi wanted to be ruthless and do a body search, but he was afraid of provoking coquettish feelings. He felt extremely hesitant.
