Chapter 744 He Hasn't Returned Yet

p to the maidservant. "Lift your head," he said.The maidservant trembled all over, her gaze trembling as she raised her head, tears welling in her eyes."Who allowed you to make up lies in front of the...After the master left, An Xuetang continued tinkering with her herbs.

He fiddled with the herbs for a long time, and then went back into the house to look through various medical books.

Ning'er and her two companions were always by her side. Whenever there were words in the medical books she couldn't understand, she would ask them to explain.

But most of the writing, she could understand.

She has been preoccupied with the illness within Feng Ming lately. When she felt his pulse, she couldn't see anything wrong, yet it was clear that he had a problem.

Now that the date of his illness is getting closer, once he falls into a deep coma, she will make sure to give him a thorough examination this time.

She vowed to find a way to cure Feng Ming, or else her heart would forever remain in limbo.

Thinking of this, An Xuetang took a deep breath to release the suppressed air, then continued to flip through the medical books in her hand.

Lost in her reading, she didn't realize that over four hours had passed. She was oblivious to the fact that oil lamps had been lit in the room sometime ago.

Over these past four hours, Ning'er and the others couldn't help but want to interrupt her, asking her to take a break, or at least have something to eat.

Ke An Xue Tang was so engrossed in her reading, and her expression was so serious that they dared not interrupt her train of thought.

Over these four hours, An Xuetang had already read through various medical books and documents, including numerous cases of difficult and unusual illnesses.

But there are no cases like Fengming's, not even similar descriptions.

Finally, after looking at it for a long time, An Xue Tang was completely tired of reading. She saw that after finishing the last book, she threw the book aside with some irritability.

She closed her eyes, rubbing her temples with her hand and letting out a deep sigh.

Ning'er and the other two sisters all looked at each other, and Shou'er softly said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. If you still want to look, perhaps we can continue tomorrow"

Listening to Shou'er's words, An Xuetang slowly opened her eyes. Only then did she realize that it was completely dark outside, but the candles in the room were burning brightly, so she hadn't noticed.

"At this, Kang'er added, "Your Highness, perhaps we should have the kitchen bring us a meal It's past mealtime now. Are you hungry"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow in surprise, "It's so late"

As she was speaking, she got up and walked straight to the door. When she opened it and looked at where the moon was, she immediately understood that it must have been past the hour of the Dog (戌時) without her realizing it.

At this moment, she couldn't tell what she was thinking about, and frowned. "It's so late, hasn't the prince returned yet"

Ning'er and the others exchanged glances, then Ning'er spoke up, "Your Highness, the Prince hasn't returned to the city yet."

"!!"

A puzzling thought began to grow in An Xuetang's heart, where had Ajing gone today

After he entered the palace, could it be that the emperor had given him something very urgent to attend to That's why he couldn't even bother to come back and say a word to her

But not to that extent, she didn't think anything in the world could make Mo Yunjing so anxious that he would ignore her.

unless ...

I wonder what he was thinking. An Xuetang patted her own head, muttering to herself in a self-deprecating tone, "How could I have forgotten about this!"

Ninger saw her slap her own forehead fiercely, pursed her lips, and felt a little sorry for her. "Your Highness, did you think of something What do you need the maids to do next"

An Xue Tang also didn't know why she felt a little agitated and wanted to leave the city immediately to find Mo Yun Jing.

After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and said, "Ning'er, prepare the horse. We are leaving the city."

Ning'er frowned, "Your Highness, the curfew gong has sounded, and the city gates are closed."

"It's just a matter of closing the city gates. This imperial concubine has ways to make them open, go prepare the horses quickly."

Ning'er was a bit embarrassed. It was late at night, and if she let the princesses out of the city now, what if they encountered danger She wouldn't be able to explain it to the valley master.

Ke An Xue Tang seems to have made up her mind and is determined to leave the city.

She cast a thoughtful glance at Shou'er, who just happened to be looking at her with embarrassment.

Immediately after, the three men knelt down on one knee and pleaded with An Xuetang in unison, "Please reconsider, Your Highness. The Valley Master is not by your side now. It's not a wise move for you to leave the city at this time."

An Xuetang knew what they were worried about, but all she could think of was that her dear Ajing hadn't come back this late. He must have had an accident outside the city.

After thinking it over carefully, she was even more determined to leave the city and find Mo Yunjing.

"Ning'er, none of you need to persuade me anymore. Ajing is still outside the city, and he only has Yunliu and Shiyi with him. I can't help but worry."

Ning'er and the others knew that once An Xuetang made a decision, it was very difficult to change her mind. But now that Feng Ming was gone, letting An Xuetang leave the city was definitely not possible.

Then, Ning'er spoke up and suggested, "Your Highness, please allow me a quarter of an hour. I will go to Qingyun Pavilion and inform the Valley Master and the pavilion master about this matter. With the help of the Valley Master and the pavilion master, Your Highness can find the Prince sooner, isn't that right"

An Xuetang thought for a moment, and immediately nodded, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

She is not so impulsive now, after all, in case this is just a setup against her. If she just left like this, it would be like walking into a trap. for her explanation.Shuangshuang intended to take this opportunity to demand payment from An Xuetang, so she explained the matter slowly and deliberately, detailing everything Ming Deng had done.Of c...
