Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1680 Passed Out From Drinking And Woke Up Only To Continue Drinking
“Tong’er?”

Yaoyao called out in surprise when she saw the maid’s face.

Tong’er stopped wiping her tears and lifted her head.

When she saw it was the Second Princess calling her, she could not help sobbing out loud and cried even louder.

“Second Princess…”

Yaoyao walked over to her. “What’s wrong? What happened here? Where is Princess Ji’er?”

It was better if Yaoyao had said nothing. The mention of Ji’er made Tong’er cry even louder. She sobbed quite hysterically.

“Princess Ji’er, she… Sob sob!”

Yaoyao’s heart sank. She held Tong’er by the shoulders. “Stop crying and explain whatever happened here. Where is Princess Ji’er?”

Tong’er was about to say something amidst her sobs when Qing He came over.

Her eyes were red as well and she choked on her sobs while saying, “Why have you returned so late, Princess? Princess Ji’er has left many days ago and the general can’t find her anywhere.”

Long Yin walked in with Hexin and the others. He happened to hear that last sentence and his handsome face turned grim as he asked, “What do you mean Princess Ji’er has left, Qing He? Why would she leave for no reason?”

Qing He jumped when she saw the Crown Prince. She walked quickly toward him and bowed as she replied, “What happened was…”

After a while, she managed to explain clearly to everyone regarding everything that had happened.

Long Yin’s face was chillingly dark as he asked, “Where is General Chu Qi right now?”

Qing He replied somberly, “The general gave chase the moment he found out Princess Ji’er was missing, but the soldiers have searched in different directions for many days without any results. They couldn’t find any clues to the princess’s whereabouts and the general blames himself for it. It has been two days since he locked himself in his study.” She ended with a sigh.

Long Yin strode toward the study immediately after hearing this.

There were tears in Yaoyao’s eyes as she got extremely anxious about this.

She suddenly regretted everything she had done. If she had not been so mischievous and sneaked into the Yan Kingdom, would Ji’er have been able to avoid this sadness?

At the very least, she could have stayed by Ji’er’s side and stood by her every second. Ji’er would not have left if that were the case.

Hexin and the others had heard Qing He’s explanation and were shocked and worried about Ji’er.

She was about to follow when she noticed Qi Heng, who was next to her, had suddenly clenched his fists and ran straight toward the study.

Hexin was startled and quickly followed suit.

Bao Yu and Long Huaiyuan gave each other a look and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
When all of them were outside the study, they could smell the thick stench of alcohol.

Long Yin frowned.

Qing He quickly explained, “The general has been drinking himself away inside the locked study for the last few days since he failed to locate the princess. He doesn’t seem to be able to hold his liquor well. He passes out from all the drinking and wakes up only to continue drinking.

Long Yin was about to say something when Qi Heng suddenly barged forward and kicked the study room door open.

“Qi Heng!” Long Yin shouted at him to stop.

However, this time, Qi Heng did not listen to him.

Qi Heng roared and ran into the room.

“Chu Qi, get out here right now!”

The others jumped at this and quickly followed behind.

Chu Qi was clutching a vat of wine in the study. He was sitting on the ground with many empty vats of wine strewn about near his feet.

The air was filled with the thick stench of alcohol.

Yaoyao and the others choked involuntarily when they entered the study.

Chu Qi was drunk and his eyes narrowed at the voice.

Before he could see whom the voice belonged to, a punch landed on his face.

“Chu Qi, how were you looking after Ji’er?” Qi Heng was still not appeased after punching him. He grabbed Chu Qi by the collar and lifted him up, shouting furiously, “Have you taken good care of her?”
