Chapter 1345: The Child Who Made a Mistake

im. If he doesn't want the emperor to know about what he's done, he has to help me find that Master Ming Deng within seven days. Otherwise... I'll go to the emperor myself and tell him everything."Mo...Mo Junyi gently stroked the back of Dazizhu, ignoring Lei Hong's words. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "I suspect that we must have something on us that allows them to follow our scent."

Yun Wu's eyes were deep, he had been thinking about this question all along.

Mingming had already temporarily changed his route, but every time they reached a place, those who were hunting them would find them. Some even ambushed them beforehand.

He pondered for a while and came to a conclusion similar to the prince's.

Yúnwǔ glanced at the tigers resting on the ground, then looked at the clothes on his own body. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Mòjūn Yì, “Young Master, it seems we need to discard these clothes and belongings.”

"Mo Junyi agreed with this as well, he nodded slightly, patted Da Zi's head, and then added, "Right now, we need to find a small river to wash up."

If those people really came here following the smell, he wasn't sure what went wrong. The best thing to do was probably just wash everything.

They all need a wash too.

After so many days, I haven't left Beijiang City by much. At this rate, it would take at least two months to return to the capital.

Moreover, not to mention when they could return to the capital, if they were chased like this every day, whether they could safely return to the capital was also a big problem.

So the most important thing right now isn't to figure out how to get back to the capital, but to lose those pursuers.

Yun Wu took out the map and studied it carefully. He discovered that not far from them there was a large river, and there were probably some backward villages near it.

He brought the map in front of Mo Junyi and pointed to a certain place, “Young Master, we can pass through these two mountains along this road. There’s a big river there, and on the riverbank, there should be some scattered villages. We can rest for the night in a village tonight.”

Mo Junyi glanced at him, then nodded. "Good."

……

Two days later, An Xue Tang saw that there was still no news from Yun Si, so she worriedly asked Yun Si to come over and ask about it.

"Has anyone from our team contacted Zilong yet"

Yun Si shook his head solemnly, "Reporting to Your Highness, there's still no news. Our men just sent a message saying they followed the route you planned but found no trace. I suspect that Young Master and the others must have been held up along the way."

An Xuetang's thoughts sharpened, "Since we haven't seen them, it's highly likely they're in danger. You should immediately dispatch more people to search for them. We can't let Ziling get into trouble."

After a moment's hesitation, Yun Si still bowed and agreed, "Yes."

Actually, he wanted to remind the princess again that the prince had specifically instructed before leaving that no one from the house should be sent out casually.

Seeing the princess like this, he couldn't help but worry about the young master. He thought that no matter what he said now, it would be useless.

Yun Si didn't delay. After saying a few words to An Xue Tang, he left to make arrangements.

An Xuetang stared thoughtfully in the direction Yun Si had left, her brows slightly furrowed.

Ning'er and Shou'er exchanged glances, and Ning'er walked over to pour a cup of warm water for An Xuetang. She whispered softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. The young master has the brothers of Xuntang Valley escorting him, so nothing will happen."

"My concern is not this right now."

An Xuetang raised her hand to rub her temples, sighing softly, “Just a few days ago we finally developed a cure. We were just waiting for those from the Western Regions to come in so we could catch them off guard, but they all disappeared in the end. I suspect they may have left the capital and gone to deal with Zi Ling instead.”

That night when they were tidying up Xiaohong's things, they were also waiting for the people from Xirong to break into the palace. But who would have known that not only did the people from Xirong not break in, but Yun Si went out to investigate and found that those Xirong people hiding in the shadows were no longer outside their palace.

After that night, she asked Yun Si to look for the footprints of those Westerners, but they were just like Ming Deng and Zhi'er. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find them.

She had a vague hunch that these people knew they couldn't successfully break into the palace and do something to her, so they shifted their target to Mo Junyi, hoping to threaten her by controlling him.

Although she was worried, she couldn't go out to look for him herself right now.

Ning'er and the others also thought of this point. The three of them looked solemn, but for now, they could only comfort the princess and tell her not to worry so much.

If he were still awake at this moment, wouldn't she feel a sense of security

Brother... when will you ever wake up

After chatting for a few moments, Shuangshuang came over. After greeting An Xuetang, she clearly looked like she wanted to say something but held back.

An Xuetang couldn't help but chuckle, "Shuangshuang, just say what you have to say. Why are you so hesitant"

Shuang Shuang pursed her lips and carefully raised her head to observe An Xue Tang's expression, but she couldn't tell the Northern Border Princess's mood at this moment. After a moment of deliberation, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, she...she looks very unwell."

This "she" needed no explanation; everyone in the house knew she was referring to Fu'er from the other courtyard.

Perhaps knowing she shouldn't come again to say such things to the Princess, ShuShu finished speaking and her whole being was like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and stood aside. After all, not long ago she had come to the Princess in this way to beg for treatment of Fu’er.

And at that time, it seemed as if Fu'er had intentionally played tricks on her, deceiving both her and the Princess.

But she is still requesting the Princess to visit Fur'er. This is very inappropriate.

But she couldn't bear to see Fu'er like that, even if it might anger the Princess. Nevertheless, she had to come.

For the past few days, Fu'er has barely eaten anything. If this continues, Fu'er will surely not be able to hold on.

If Fu'er hadn't been pregnant, she perhaps wouldn't have been so worried. But now, with a child in her womb, she could fast, but the fetus within her couldn't bear such hardship.

Shuangshuang spoke up about her thoughts, and An Xuetang only then learned that Fu'er had actually been on a hunger strike these past few days.

For the past few days, Ninger and the others have been too preoccupied with their own affairs to care about Fu'er's situation. As a result, they are completely unaware of her hunger strike.

Now that ShuaiShuai had spoken up, Ning'er and Shou'er exchanged glances. Shou'er then said, "Your Highness, I shall go take a look."

"Alright, let me ask her what she truly desires. If she dares to use the same flimsy excuse to target my brother today, I shall personally gouge out her eyes. Let alone seeing my brother, she won't see the light of day again."

"!“

Shuangshuang was taken aback upon seeing An Xuetang so angry for the first time.

It seems the Duchess is in a rather foul mood today. Perhaps she shouldn't have come.d.Dr. Liu is skilled in medicine but not in combat. While he can handle some low-ranking soldiers, facing someone as powerful as Yun Rui is beyond his capabilities. It's simply... a case of overreachi...
