“The Prince is gone?”
If this had happened anywhere else, Qin Xiao wouldn’t have been surprised.
With Feng Yexuan’s martial arts and movement techniques, shaking off Qing Ming and Leng Ji would have been as easy as pie.
But this was Tuo Xi Village!
He hadn’t forgotten that the three of them had come here precisely to find someone.
Now that Feng Yexuan was missing, could it be that he had infiltrated Tuo Xi Village to search for someone?
Suddenly, Qin Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
A lone girl…
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became!
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed… it really seemed so!
“How long has your Prince been missing?”
“Two and a half days!” The two were filled with unspeakable anxiety.
In fact, they had thought of the same thing as Qin Xiao.
What if the Prince had gone into the village alone and contracted the illness?
“General Qin, I still want to ask again, is there really no…”
“There is.” Qin Xiao looked at the two, unable to keep it a secret any longer.
“Three days ago, a girl in white did indeed come alone.”
“Was her surname Chu?” Leng Ji asked urgently.
Qin Xiao pursed his lips before nodding, “Yes, she said her surname was Chu, and we all called her Miss Chu.”
“You! You this…” Qing Ming was so angry he could laugh!
If he weren’t the Prince’s good friend, he would have wanted to kill him right now!
Qin Xiao felt it was necessary to explain.
“You should all be aware of the situation here. If I had told you then that a girl had entered the village, with your Prince’s temperament, if he wanted to find someone, he would have charged in without hesitation.”
“Could you have stopped him? Could I have stopped him?”
He wasn’t trying to shirk responsibility, but that was indeed the reality.
“Back then, I was just hoping you would take your Prince and leave first. Once the situation here was completely under control, you could search for someone or whatever you pleased.”
Although Qing Ming was still very angry, he couldn’t deny that Qin Xiao had a point.
His not revealing the truth at the time was also for the Prince’s own good.
He just hadn’t expected that the Prince would go to find his Princess himself!
“I might know where your Prince is, but can you first tell me who that girl is?”
Now Qin Xiao was eighty to ninety percent sure that the man he had seen that day, the so-called assistant with an extraordinary aura, was likely Feng Yexuan.
But he had known Feng Yexuan for many years and had never seen him do something so absurd for a woman.
Staying behind to be someone’s assistant?
Was this still the Feng Yexuan he knew?
So, he hadn’t been sure at the time.
He was genuinely curious, what was the relationship between Miss Chu and Feng Yexuan?
Most importantly, from the moment that Miss Chu appeared, she had been wearing that so-called mask.
Her face couldn’t be seen clearly at all.
Qing Ming hesitated slightly, but Leng Ji couldn’t wait and said urgently, “She’s our Princess!”
…
Feng Yexuan was still in the room.
He hadn’t come out all day.
Chu Qianli had been busy from morning till now, not even having time to drink a sip of water throughout the day.
How could she have the energy to notice him?
Although it was just the flu, the flu in ancient times was a very serious matter.
Ancient people didn’t have vaccines, and when the flu struck, they would have a persistent high fever.
Some people, burning with fever, would become muddled and pass away.
What Chu Qianli needed to do now was to first bring down the patients’ fever, and then use the medicine she had concocted herself to expel the virus.
Currently, the results were good.
The first batch of patients with high fever were now either experiencing a low fever or their temperature had completely dropped.
As for the first patient she had treated, apart from still being weak from recovering from a serious illness, they were already able to walk freely.
She was practically a living immortal!
However, this living immortal was now cornered by three men.
“Princess, where exactly is my Prince?”
