PS: Thank you all for your rewards. I thought that after the welfare, there would be very few rewards. I was surprised and touched.
The next day, when Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi came over, Prince An was not in the study room, so they went to Prince An's courtyard, but he was not there either. They could only bite the bullet and go to the Tianshu Courtyard.
Chu Li was cultivating in his courtyard.
In the Tianshu Courtyard, Xue Ling was also cultivating.
Siao Shi sat on the couch with a thin blanket draped over her. Together with Yang Xu, she watched Xue Ling practice martial arts. It was like watching a dance. When Xue Ling performed her Dark Yin Palm, it was pleasing to the eye.
Zheng Lide entered the courtyard and bowed. Siao Shi glanced at him, "Why are you here so early? What's the matter?"
Zheng Lide hurriedly asked: "Did Wang Fei see Wang Ye?"
"I haven't seen him since yesterday," Siao Shi answered absentmindedly, still staring at Xue Ling.
Zheng Lide tactfully excused himself.
He went to Princess Song and Princess Xue's side, but neither of them had seen His Highness.
After he left, Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu came to the Tianshu Courtyard together. Xue Ling stopped cultivating and retreated to the side, listening to their conversation.
"Sister Song, do you think that the Royal Highness has another woman outside?" Xue Ningyu frowned and scoffed, "He didn't return last night, even Commander Zheng couldn't find him!"
"His Royal Highness isn't that interested in women. Perhaps he has other important matters to attend to," Song Liuying shook her head, "Where's the Head Chief?"
"He should be training in his courtyard. Now that there are so many Scribes, he can be less worried." Siao Shi smiled, "Did the Royal Highness not return yesterday?"
"According to Commander Zheng, they haven't been able to find it."
"You're only thinking of finding him now? What about last night?"
"Maybe he thinks that the Royal Highness is in the study room. The Royal Highness doesn't allow anyone to disturb him when he's in the academy. He's the only one in the courtyard." Xue Ningyu frowned and said, "Where did he go? … Will those people take revenge on me after I leave the mansion? "
Song Liuying hurriedly said, "That gang of human traffickers? Didn't you catch them all in one fell swoop? "
"The more I think about it, the more I'm right!" Xue Ningyu quickly said, "Don't tell me those human traffickers don't have accomplices? Your Highness might have only caught one batch. There might be another batch! "
"Let Commander Zheng search outside," Song Liuying said.
Xiao Shi said, "Sisters, what if His Royal Highness only went out for a while to attend to some matters? If you make such a big fuss about it and let the whole city know about it, we'll become a laughing stock!"
"That's true." The two girls nodded lightly.
Xiao Shi said, "In my opinion, it's better to look around the residence. Maybe it's in one of the maids' rooms! "
The two girls pursed their lips and smiled. "That's hard to say!"
"Little Ya, tell Commander Zheng to search every room!" Song Liuying said.
One of the maids responded softly and went out.
"His Highness is very disciplined in his actions. This kind of thing rarely happens. "Song Liuying shook her head lightly," Could it be that it's really absurd? "
"I'm a man." Xue Ningyu scoffed, "It's hard to change a person's nature. On top of that, he did a great deed yesterday, so he's feeling happy. Who knows, maybe after drinking a few cups, he'll do something ridiculous under the influence of alcohol!"
Siao Shi nodded in agreement.
Chu Li was cultivating. He sensed King An's condition in the Nine Dragons' Tripod Cauldron.
After a night's delay, Prince An was on the verge of death. He was hanging on by a thread, but his meridians were destroyed, his Dantian was destroyed, and he had lost his martial arts.
Even if Chu Li were to personally save him, he could only use the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique to heal his meridians. He would have to cultivate his martial arts again, but the Imperial Family might have some miraculous medicine. It might be able to restore his cultivation level.
What he suffered the heaviest was his spirit.
This attack, even if it did not hurt his soul, it had damaged his spirit, which was similar to his Dantian.
The human body had three Dantians, the upper, middle, and lower. The lower and middle Dantians contained inner energy, while the upper Dantian contained the spirit. Now that all three Dantians were injured, it was extremely serious.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. His Highness Prince An still had luck. He did not lose his life after suffering such heavy injuries. The reason he was still alive was probably because of the jade pendant on his chest, which saved his life.
This jade pendant used to be inconspicuous, it looked like a normal white jade. Chu Li did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
After Prince An was heavily injured, this jade pendant reacted and began to emit traces of life force. It was the same spiritual energy that he collected from the Scripture of Life and Death. It was a trace of life force. This trace of life force kept Prince An alive.
Since he did not die this time. He could only wait for the next time. Chu Li shook his head. He was afraid of the Emperor, so he did not dare to directly kill Prince An.
This was enough to make Prince An suffer. He would not be able to cause trouble in a short period of time.

Zheng Lide found Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was meditating on the bed in the house. Facing the hurried Zheng Lide, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Lide calmly.
"Revered sir, have you seen His Royal Highness?" Zheng Lide pressed his palms together and asked respectfully.
Xu Ning said, "His Royal Highness is not in the residence?"
"I did not find him." Zheng Lide shook his head.
Xu Ning said, "Did you go to the Cultivation Courtyard to look for him?"
"This …" Zheng Lide hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
The Cultivation Courtyard was a forbidden area. No one was allowed to enter. Even if he was the commander, he had no right to enter.
Xu Ning said, "His Royal Highness went to cultivate."
"Ah?" Zheng Lide was shocked and quickly said, "His Royal Highness's internal injuries have not healed, how can he cultivate?"
He never thought of this because Prince An's injuries were serious. He did not dare to simply cultivate to heal himself. As long as he cultivated, the heterogeneous inner energy in his body would attack and worsen his injuries. If he did not cultivate, the inner energy would hibernate and not worsen his injuries.
It had been a while since His Royal Highness went to the Cultivation Courtyard.
"Go look for him." Xu Ning said, "His Royal Highness should be over there."
"Revered sir, you should do it." Zheng Lide smiled bitterly. "If I step into the Cultivation Courtyard, His Royal Highness will definitely kill me. His Royal Highness respects Revered sir very much. Nothing will happen."
Xu Ning got up from the bed and slowly walked out.
Zheng Lide pressed his palms together in gratitude.
The two of them arrived at the Cultivation Courtyard and did not let anyone accompany them. The Cultivation Courtyard was a forbidden area. Normal people were not allowed to go near it.
Xu Ning frowned slightly and quickened his pace. He arrived in front of the Nine Dragons Tripod Cauldron and glided into it. He carried Prince An and glided out of the Cultivation Courtyard.
Zheng Lide looked at Prince An who had fainted. His face was green and he was barely breathing. He was stunned.
Xu Ning strode back to Prince An's study room. Zheng Lide kept his mouth shut and followed him to the study room.
He placed Prince An on the bed. Xu Ning sat cross-legged behind him and pressed his palms together. After a while, Prince An slowly woke up.
"Your Highness, do you have any spirit pills to treat your injuries?" Xu Ning asked.
Prince An struggled to open his eyes. His lips moved slightly but he could not make a sound.
Xu Ning nodded. He could see through Prince An's thoughts. He put him down gently and went to the desk. He took out a few jade bottles from a drawer and went to Prince An.
Prince An's gaze swept across. Xu Ning picked out an emerald green jade bottle. "This is it?"
Prince An nodded strenuously.
Xu Ning poured out an emerald green pill and stuffed it into Prince An's mouth. He then sat behind Prince An and channeled to help him digest the medicine.
Two hours later, wisps of white smoke rose from the top of Prince An's head. It was faintly discernible.
Xu Ning let go of his hands and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead. His monk robe was already drenched.
Prince An slowly opened his eyes. His face was still as pale as a piece of paper, but the green aura had faded.
"Your Highness, did someone try to harm you?" Commander Zheng asked hurriedly.
Prince An shook his head and said weakly, "I cultivated too fiercely and went berserk!"
Commander Zheng let out a long sigh of relief. That was good. It was not caused by someone and he was not responsible.
Xu Ning asked, "How did Your Highness get injured so badly?"
"My martial arts had improved by a level. In the end, I was greedy and advanced recklessly. I wanted to break through another level." Prince An sighed. "I was impetuous. It was my fault!"
"Is there a way to save it?" Xu Ning said calmly. "Your Highness's cultivation has been destroyed."
Prince An's face was pale. He shook his head slowly.
