Chu Xifeng rushed into the room and saw that it was empty, leaving him dumbfounded.
No matter whether His Highness Duke of Qin wanted to protect this woman or not, she couldn't disappear!
Chu Xifeng finally realized his negligence. He'd brought the Shadow Guard with him, but had only arranged for the Shadow Guard to guard the doors and windows. He'd neglected the roof! Moreover, the fireworks just then hadn't aroused his suspicions.
He slapped his own mouth. "Dammit!"
Xu Donglin searched around the room before he found something. Frightened, he cried out, "Ah … ah … boss!"
Chu Xifeng chased after him and saw the object on the ground. He was scared out of his wits as well. It was none other than Han Yunxi's torn purple muslin robes.
"Boss, esteemed wangfei, she … she couldn't have … she …"
Xu Donglin was incoherent. Chu Xifeng raged, "She's not esteemed wangfei. Hurry and find her! I'll go find Department Head Shen right now and ask him to seal the city gates. Hurry and bring people to search the area! Hurry! "
"Boss, shouldn't we send a message to His Highness first?" Xu Donglin asked.
Chu Xifeng was extremely irritated. "I know."
The two of them split up. Xu Donglin was about to leave when he turned back and reminded, "Boss, no matter who she is, His Highness will protect her. She's still our mistress!"
"Impossible!" Chu Xifeng raged.
"Boss, His Highness's letter is still in your hands." Xu Donglin said. "His Highness has esteemed wangfei in his heart. You've been with them for the longest time, so you should know better than us."
"His Highness is East Qin's only hope. He's going to revive East Qin and become its emperor. How could he fall for Western Qin's princess? If he wants to revive East Qin, he'll have to get revenge first and destroy the remnants of Western Qin! Han Yunxi is the first! Even if His Highness wants to protect her, he must have other motives. It's definitely not a love affair! "
Chu Xifeng was both angry and anxious as he roared, "Why aren't you looking for her yet? Hurry! "
Xu Donglin was scared out of his wits. He turned around and ran.
Soon, Vice Academy Head Shen ordered all four gates of Medical City to be sealed. No matter what the reason was, no one was allowed to leave, even if they had the dean's or elder's orders.
Soon, the Shadow Guard and the medical guards broke the silence of the night in Medical City. No one knew what had happened. They only knew that an important person had been kidnapped.
Tang Li and Ning Jing were in an inn. The two of them had been in a cold war since then. Although they still slept on the same bed, they had slept with their backs facing each other for several nights.
Banging on the door woke them up. The guards came in and searched the room, but they found nothing before leaving. Tang Li soon found out from the innkeeper that the guards were here to search for someone.
"Who is this important person? Is there a need to mobilize so many people?" Tang Li asked.
"I don't know. If it's not someone from the medical school, then it's someone from some big family. The city gates are all sealed!" the shopkeeper replied.
Ning Jing stood at the top of the stairs, her face a little pale.
She knew it was Ning Cheng who had kidnapped the person. Since Ning Cheng had done that, it meant he'd seen the phoenix birthmark. Han Yunxi really was the princess of Western Qin!
The Di Clan had finally found their master! But no one expected it to be Han Yunxi!
Ning Jing suddenly wanted to run over and see Ning Cheng. Heaven knows what he's feeling right now!
Tang Li turned around just in time to see Ning Jing. He glanced at her before heading out the door again. Ning Jing was planning to ignore him. It was good that Tang Li was going out. She could pay her respects to her master as well.
But then she thought of something and chased after Tang Li. "Where do you think you're going in the middle of the night?"
Tang Li ignored her. He'd wanted to leave for a long time already.
When he found out about Han Yunxi's identity, the first thing he thought of was Mute Granny. When Long Fei Ye imprisoned Mute Granny in the You Prison, he was the one who kept watch over her. At that time, he couldn't figure out why Long Fei Ye had secretly imprisoned an old granny!
Later, Long Fei Ye talked to Mute Granny about something, and Mute Granny committed suicide.
Tang Li was almost certain that Long Fei Ye had known about Han Yunxi's identity for a long time and had been deliberately hiding it. Not only did he hide it from Han Yunxi, but he also hid it from everyone. Mute Granny's suicide must have been because Long Fei Ye had said something.
What Tang Li didn't understand was, other than Mute Granny and Long Fei Ye, who else in this world knew about Han Yunxi's identity? Gu Beiyue?
His mind was in a mess. For a moment, he couldn't accept that his sister-in-law was the princess of Western Qin. However, he couldn't bear to hate Han Yunxi.
He also didn't know why he was going to the medical school. It was a good opportunity to ask who had been kidnapped.
Tang Li stopped for a moment and continued to walk without saying a word.
Ning Jing's anger rushed to her heart. She reached out and blocked Tang Li. "You still want to look for Han Yunxi? It's so late, and you're still going to look for her. Don't you have any shame?"
She clearly guessed that he was going to ask about who had been kidnapped, but she deliberately pretended to be jealous.
"So what if I am? Is it any of your business?" Tang Li retorted.
"I'm your wife. How is it any of my business?" Ning Jing retorted angrily. She couldn't tell whether she was pretending or really angry.
"Wife?" Tang Li laughed. "Ning Jing, so you still know that you're my wife? I thought that you were unwilling to admit this after getting married. Oh, right, I, Tang Li, only now know that my wife is a descendant of the Seven Noble Families! Haha! "
"I …" Ning Jing looked into Tang Li's eyes and asked seriously, "Tang Li, do you really think of me as your wife?"
Tang Li avoided her gaze. He didn't know why, but he didn't dare to look at her. He walked around Ning Jing and still wanted to leave.
Ning Jing suddenly grabbed his hand. "Tang Li, I was wrong! I shouldn't have hit you. I shouldn't have doubted you. I was wrong. "
Tang Li, Medical City won't be peaceful. Cloud Realm won't be peaceful either. Let's go back to the Tang Clan and get away from all of this, okay?
Ning Jing said these words in her heart.
Unfortunately, Tang Li didn't want to leave.
He didn't want the cold war to end, so he said lightly, "If you want to go back, I'll send someone to send you back first."
With that, he walked away without looking back, leaving Ning Jing standing alone in the dark night.
Only when Tang Li's figure disappeared at the end of the road did Ning Jing regain her senses. Her usually shrewd eyes were dim, and there was even a trace of sadness in them.
Tang Li had already left. What else could she do? She could only hurry over to Ning Cheng's place to take a look.
The entire Medical City was searching for people, but Ning Cheng had a place to hide. He hid Han Yunxi in an unknown residence.
By the time Han Yunxi woke up in a daze, it was already noon of the next day.
She found herself lying on the bed and covered with a silk quilt. She gave a cold snort and sat up abruptly. Only then did she realize that she was still wrapped in the outer coat Ning Cheng gave her last night. The clothes underneath were also intact.
"Princess, you're awake!"
"Princess, drink some water first. Breakfast is already prepared."
The two servant girls waiting on the side hurried over to serve her. Han Yunxi flung the cup away and said angrily, "Where's Ning Cheng?"
As soon as she said that, the sound of Ning Cheng kneeling came from behind the screen. "This subordinate, Ning Cheng, the head of the Di Clan, greets the princess. Long live the princess!"
Last night, after he had brought her back, he had been guarding behind the screen all night.
Han Yunxi almost didn't understand that Ning Cheng was kneeling to greet her. She hurriedly got off the bed, wrapped her clothes tightly around herself, and rushed over. She saw Ning Cheng kneeling behind the screen. He bowed deeply, his forehead still touching the floor.
Recalling the events of last night, Han Yunxi's anger flared up. She said coldly and raised her head.
Ning Cheng immediately raised his head. That face with thick eyebrows and big eyes was handsome and dashing. Han Yunxi sized him up seriously. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped him hard.
After the loud slap, the whole room was silent!
Ning Cheng was startled. His respectful gaze suddenly turned cold. The side of his face burned and immediately turned red. It was obvious that Han Yunxi used a lot of strength.
Facing Ning Cheng's cold gaze, Han Yunxi wasn't afraid at all. She didn't just want to humiliate Ning Cheng. She simply wanted to kill him.
Coldly, she stared at him and angrily scolded, "Shameless!"
Only then did Ning Cheng understand that Han Yunxi hit him because of last night's incident. He lowered his eyes. "Last night's incident was this subordinate's offense. Princess, please punish me."
Han Yunxi then raised her hand to slap him again. Ning Cheng didn't dodge. Han Yunxi wasn't joking with him. She really wanted to hit him.
Since Ning Cheng pretended to be so respectful, then she would cooperate with him to the end. She wanted to see how long he could endure it.
She gathered her strength. Just as she was about to fiercely slap him, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ning Cheng's left foot. She remembered the poison from last night.
Since last night, Ning Cheng's foot should have blisters or even ulcerated. He was still wearing shoes. Didn't he feel pain?
Han Yunxi put down her hand and walked behind him. She looked at him with interest.
"Princess, please punish me." Ning Cheng said again.
"Take off your shoes. Let me take a look." Han Yunxi leisurely sat down at the side.
Ning Cheng lowered his eyes. She couldn't tell what he was thinking. He sat down and really took off his shoes. His movements were quick and nimble. As soon as he took off his shoes, they saw that the golden needle that pierced his foot last night had disappeared. His entire foot was red and swollen, as if it had been burned by a raging fire. Several large blisters had appeared, and one area had even ulcerated. It was badly mutilated. Because he had taken off his shoes too quickly, he had even scraped one of the blisters and oozed pus.
The two servant girls were extremely distressed. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, was admiring it with interest. She said, "Alright, your punishment is to cripple this foot. By tomorrow morning, the poison will enter your bone marrow and shatter it."
A complicated look flashed past Ning Cheng's eyes. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Ning Cheng, what do you think of this punishment?" Han Yunxi deliberately provoked him. She had to force Ning Cheng's true colors out!
How noble could the Di Clan's Ning Clan be compared to the Nether Clan's Chu Clan?
"This subordinate has offended the princess and deserves ten thousand deaths. However …" Ning Cheng trailed off before finally looking up at her. "However, can this subordinate owe you this debt first? It won't be too late to punish this subordinate after this subordinate assists the princess in wiping away the disgrace of our Western Qin and reviving our country! When the time comes, even if the princess wants this subordinate's life, this subordinate will offer it up personally. "
Han Yunxi laughed coldly in her heart. Once Western Qin was revived, she'd be nothing more than a puppet. Just like Tianning's young emperor and Empress Dowager Chu, they were both at the mercy of Ning Cheng, the prince regent!
She leisurely drank her tea and waved a hand. "This wangfei doesn't accept credit."
