C19 The Royal Golden Perch Is Missing

"I don't know, what do you think?" Ji Yilang asked instead of answering, "You've fought with this woman before."

Sima Qi's expression turned ugly: "Are you mocking This King?"

"Of course not." Ji Yilang replied modestly, but his expression was one of contempt and malice.

"I'm still thinking, how exactly did she come out of the Lanjiang?" Sima Qi gritted his teeth. He had a lot of informants. Although they didn't see Du Jiuyue leave the river, they were still paying attention to her every move.

"Someone must have helped her." he said with certainty. It was just that he did not know who this person was. He had to find out, let alone there were very few in this Qianyan Empire who would oppose him.

"How long are you going to make this woman disappear?" Sima Qi spoke for a while, but when he saw Ji Yilang not say a word, he frowned and asked impatiently.

This was the first time in his life that he was afraid of this woman. It was because this woman was too shameless, and his tricks did not work. If he was going to kill her directly, he wouldn't have to circle around so much. His good father kept an eye on him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to come in with an actual princess every once in a while.

"That depends on my mood." Ji Yilang said calmly.

"I'm not in a good mood when I see her. You'd better hurry up." Sima Qi's face was smelly as he stared at Ji Yilang in dissatisfaction.

His plan was very good. As long as Ji Yilang killed Du Jiuyue, everyone's attention would be shifted from Prince Qi's Palace to hostage's residence. Everyone would also be able to make that person in the palace happy and kill two birds with one stone. But could things go as smoothly as he thought?

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Ji Yilang spoke slowly with a sly smile in his eyes. He wanted to beat me up, but he was still too tender.

For hostage from another country to be able to survive in the Qianyan Empire to this extent, without anyone touching him, was not something that anyone could do.

"Quick." Sima Qi didn't care about that much.

While he was speaking, a servant who specifically raised the noble goldfish came crawling in from the outside, crying and wanting to cry.

"Your Highness." That servant rushed in front of Sima Qi in fear and instantly kneeled down: "Prince, it's bad, the five royal golden bass in the pond has disappeared."

"What?" Sima Qi stood up immediately and stared at the servant as if he was eating a meal. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How do you do this?"

"Please spare my life, Your Highness." The servant was so scared that he trembled and kowtowed with all his might. "I beg for your life, I beg for your life …"

"Get out." Sima Qi was so angry that he kicked the man far away: "Get lost..."

"Five royal golden silkfish, at least five thousand taels of silver." After the servant had rolled away. Ji Yilang chuckled lightly. "Looks like your family has been robbed."

"It must be Du Jiuyue." Sima Qi slammed the table in anger. "This was specially prepared by me for her..."

This was a taboo in front of Sima Qi. No one dared to mention it, even Ji Yilang was tactful and never mentioned it.

Ji Yilang didn't answer and instead coughed lightly while holding the teacup: "Okay, I won't watch the good show here. I'm going back to the Wu Steel Manor to eat and have fun."

In the eyes of outsiders, hostage, who came from Bai Yu, was a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and play. Of course, he had a particularly infuriating face, and anyone he saw would look up to him with an air of superiority.

But he was hostage of Bai Yu Dynasty, so no one dared to touch him. Even if he hated her, he could only hate her in his heart.

"To the west yard." Once Ji Yilang left, Sima Qi instructed Cheng Buying.

"… …"

"Miss, you …" Lily watched in amazement as the object in Du Jiuyue's hand gradually disappeared. She really couldn't understand how this Miss had done it. Where did she get these strange things, and where did she put them back?

Du Jiuyue was cleaning up the leftover food, whether it was the alcohol stove, the alcohol pot, or the fish bones and fish scales. She knew, of course, that before long, Sima Qi would come and search for the evidence.

Just as she let out a breath of relief, she heard a "bang" sound as the door was kicked open from the outside.

"Prince Qi …" Lily was stunned for a moment before she kneeled down, looking as timid as a mouse.

Du Jiuyue only lightly rolled her eyes, glanced at Sima Qi and said listlessly, "The Prince is here."

You have to be as perfunctory as you can be. She didn't put Sima Qi in her eyes at all.

Sima Qi is here to capture the loot. He doesn't care about the value of the fish, he only cares about this, this is what she likes …

"Search!" Sima Qi didn't even give her a glance. He had no interest in this woman at all. Right now, he just wanted to find evidence so that he could quickly execute her.

A small group of people quickly entered the room and began searching everywhere.

"Miss!" Lily was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound. She quickly retreated to Du Jiuyue's side.

Du Jiuyue calmly picked up the teacup and savored the tea. She had the bearing of a lady from a noble family. It seemed that she was worthy of the title of Princess Qi. He was calm and composed in the face of trouble.

"Your Highness, there's nothing in the room." After searching a few times, those people finally had to report to Sima Qi.

Sima Qi was very surprised. Other than Du Jiuyue, no one else in this mansion dared to touch the royal golden bass.

Next month would be her birthday, and it took him a lot of effort to get it back from Nan Han. There were only eight of them. Now, there were five less.

However, he saw the guards search the room thoroughly with his own eyes. Not to mention that he didn't see the royal golden bass, he didn't even see a single piece of fish scale or fish bone. It was as if those expensive golden bass really hadn't appeared in this room.

Gritting his teeth, Sima Qi found that this woman could always stir up his temper. Her nonchalant attitude made him really want to get angry.

According to the plan, once this woman was thrown into the Lanjiang, it would return to a state of tranquility. However, this woman had allowed his wishful thinking to fail.

"Let's go." Sima Qi's voice was cold to the extreme. He glared at Du Jiuyue hatefully before leaving with a bunch of people.

Lily was so scared that her whole body was trembling. When Sima Qi left, she immediately jumped up and closed the door.

"What are you afraid of?" However, Du Jiuyue merely smiled coldly and said, "If you want to die, we will die together."

Lily turned her head and thought, "True, at most, I'll just die," she thought, but then she relaxed.

Actually, when she received the imperial edict, she already knew that the Miss was doomed. But at that time, Du Jiuyue adored Sima Qi, so no matter how worried she was, she didn't care.

"How is this possible?" Cheng Buying was on the verge of going berserk, yet he couldn't find anything in that room?
