Chapter 119
Xi Ning suspected that he had heard wrong, so the system repeated it to him clearly. “Just when Si TuZhao was getting rid of the poison from your body, you called him Song Zhou.”
“Then he……” Xi Ning held his forehead and said, “Did he hear it?”
“This……” The system was also unsure, but based on his response……
Xi Ning hurriedly tidied up his collar and ran out. Si TuZhao was leading his subordinates and left without looking back. Xi Ning could only see his figure walking farther and farther away.
Uncle Rong had been following the people who came to search, and saw that they left after searching to no avail. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head and saw Xi Ning’s pale face.
“Your Royal Highness, are you alright?”
Xi Ning stood there at a loss, but after hearing Uncle Rong’s voice, he came back to his senses and shook his head. “I’m fine.”
He returned to the bedroom and closed the door, and said blankly, “What should I do?…….What will he think?”
He was delirious just now, and he called out Song Zhou name completely unconsciously. Based on Si TuZhao’s reaction, he must have heard it.
He paid more attention to Chu Yi because of his appearance in the first place. Later, it was confirmed that he and Song Zhou were the same person, so he became even more bold in his usual speech and actions. Would Si TuZhao…… misunderstand and think of himself as a substitute for someone else?
“Master, you can just insist that it was a slip of the tongue. He can’t find Song Zhou in this world anyway.” The system was also worried, but it intuitively felt that Si TuZhao would not do anything. “The seventh prince has been in the Immortal Palace since he was a child and never went out much. No one would believe that he had a past with someone before.”
Xi Ning also understood that, but if Si TuZhao misunderstood him for this reason, or got angry and jealous, he felt guilty about it.
He was Si TuZhao; Song Zhou was also him; they were the same person…… Si TuZhao had no memory of the previous world, so Xi Ning still wasn’t able to tell him the truth.
He asked the system, “Can you restore his memories as Song Zhou?”
The system said it was incapable of doing it. “Master, you think too highly of me. Even if I find all the memory data of Song Zhou from the previous world, there is no way to add it to Si TuZhao.”
If this could be done, Xi Ning wouldn’t need to fix the bug by completing missions.
Xi Ning sighed. Thinking about it, he could only blame Huo Xiu. If Huo Xiu hadn’t poisoned him, how could he call out the wrong name when Si TuZhao was getting rid of the poison from him? Xi Ning silently scolded him again.
He wanted to find Si TuZhao to explain, and at least tell him that he did not use him as another person’s substitute, but Si TuZhao had just been ordered to search his palace. Xi Ning was worried that it would be inappropriate to go to find him at this time.
The system was still comforting him, telling him not to worry. It also told Xi Ning to wait to see if Si TuZhao would come to find him at night.
Xi Ning calmed down quickly after listening to the system. He waited until midnight, but Si TuZhao didn’t come.
The lights in Xi Ning’s bedroom were on for a long time again. This time Uncle Rong didn’t knock on the door anymore but passed through the corridor twice.
Xi Ning didn’t feel sleepy at all. He walked back and forth a few times in his bedroom and couldn’t help but open the door and go to the courtyard.
Only a few lights were on in the corridor outside. Xi Ning sat on a chair in the courtyard under the faint moonlight, and Uncle Rong hurriedly came over for a third time.
“Your Royal Highness, why did you come out here late at night?” Uncle Rong specially went to his room to get a night pearl and put it on the table to light up the surroundings. He also wanted to make another pot of hot tea for Xi Ning, but Xi Ning stopped him. “No need. I wanted to sit here for a while but will go back to my room soon.”
Uncle Rong had no choice but to give up making the tea. While watching Xi Ning, he hesitated but said, “Your Royal Highness, do you ……have something on your mind recently?”
Xi Ning kept silent, only sighing and looking around quietly, wanting to see if Si TuZhao would come over, or maybe looking at him from somewhere.
He didn’t want to say anything, so Uncle Rong didn’t ask further. He could vaguely guess that the relationship between Si TuZhao and Xi Ning was unusual, and it was also related to Chu Yi who had suddenly gone missing……
Uncle Rong was still keeping an eye on Si TuZhao according to Xi Ning’s orders. Xi Ning asked him, “After the Devil Lord and his subordinates left my palace today, where has he been? Did he do anything else?
“The Devil Lord seems to have gone straight back to his residence and never appeared until sunset.”
“He went straight back……” Xi Ning thought and couldn’t sit still. “There should be no one outside now, I want to sneak over to find him……”
Uncle Rong was shocked. “You can’t do it! At this hour, if you are discovered by someone who has ill intentions towards you……”
Xi Ning knew that he was not as powerful as Si TuZhao, but he felt very anxious. He propped up his head with his hand and said, “I……I have very important things to say to him.”
It seemed that Si TuZhao won’t show up tonight, so he should take the initiative to find him. It was best to tell him clearly about this matter as soon as possible.
Uncle Rong looked troubled. He thought about it for a moment, and suggested, “How about…… I made up an excuse to go there tomorrow, and Your Royal Highness will pretend to be a servant and go there with me?”
Xi Ning’s eyes lit up. “Okay.”
He only needed to cover his dragon horns, hide his appearance, and go there using the remote path. After he went into Si TuZhao’s palace and found him, only then would he remove his disguise. He had faith that Si TuZhao would not drive him out.
