1664 Falling Out Between Father And Daughter

He knew that despite Ji’er’s claims of not wanting to be close to His Majesty, she had been happy whenever His Majesty tried to spend time with her when she was young.

She was just an ordinary child who wanted the love of her parents.

If the truth turned out to be an ugly one, he would prefer for it to be buried and for Ji’er to never find out. Otherwise, accepting the reality would be too cruel to Ji’er.

However, his hopes had been dashed by another’s interference. Ji’er was now troubled by it.

After he was sure Ji’er had fallen fast asleep, Chu Qi carried her gently into bed and tucked her in properly under the covers. He was still frowning as he watched her sleeping soundly. His eyes were filled with anger.

He had to find those people who had let their tongues loose.

Chu Qi got off the bed and walked out of the room after putting on his outer robe.

Tong’er was assisting Chu Qi’s personal guard to find the servants who had gossiped, which was why she had not gone to sleep yet.

She had just arrived outside the princess’s room when she heard the heartbreaking sobbing of Ji’er. Tong’er felt very sad for the princess.

Tong’er had been by the princess’s side since she was young. Even though Ji’er’s character was not as likable and outgoing as the Second Princess, she was still a very good person who had a soft heart. She had never berated the servants and was easy to get along with.

She did not want such a good princess to live under such a dark shadow.

When she saw the general walk out of the princess’s room, she quickly went forward. “General?”

Chu Qi walked further after making sure the room door was shut tight.

Tong’er followed behind.

Chu Qi’s personal guard came forward as well the receive orders.

As Chu Qi watched the skyline gradually brighten, he asked with a hand behind his back, “Have you found them?”

The personal guard shook his head. “We’ve turned the entire mansion upside down, but could not find the two servants Tong’er described.”

It was quite strange. The mansion consisted mostly of male servants and there were very few female servants. They should be easy to find.

Besides that, the General Mansion had been placed on lockdown the moment the general had ordered it.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of the two servants Tong’er had mentioned.

In order not to alert anyone, he had just informed the servants that something valuable was lost in the mansion and had gotten everyone to cooperate.

Tong’er had even hidden in a corner to listen to the female servants’ voices.

Unfortunately, a full night had passed but they found nothing.

That was because the few female servants in the mansion were middle-aged or older. None of them was as young as those two gossiping servants.

Chu Qi was silent after listening to his personal guard’s explanation. That would mean that the two servants who were chatting did not belong to the mansion. They must have planned this for a long time and snuck into the mansion when the mansion’s security was at its weakest. They had even specifically timed it to match the time when Ji’er returned to her room and they hid in a corner to say those words out loud.

Was their aim to destroy Ji’er and cause her to be filled with sorrow and dejection, or were they scheming to sow discord between Ji’er and His Majesty?

If it was the former, it was highly possible that it was the work of Ji’er’s enemy. If it was the latter, it must be an enemy of His Majesty.

However, Ji’er was a princess who had grown up solely within the Palace since young. It was impossible for her to make any enemies.

If it was not Ji’er’s enemy, it must be His Majesty’s enemy.

This was a cruel and vicious scheme if this was truly the work of His Majesty’s enemy.

Causing a father and daughter to fall out was sometimes much crueler than pointing a sword at an enemy.

A murderous look flashed across Chu Qi’s face. It did not matter who it was, he had to catch the culprit.

That person had caused pain to Ji’er and must pay a painful price for it!

Now that he knew the motive behind this, he needed to catch that person.

He contemplated this for a while and instructed, “Spread the news that Princess Ji’er will be going out on the streets tomorrow.”

His personal guard was surprised. Was the general planning to bait out the enemy?
