In response to Ning Shu's astonishment, Xiahou Qing did not make any assertions. Instead, he slowly said, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we see that wet nurse before we can get a glimpse of it. At present, Empress Zhou's wisdom and foresight are far beyond our imagination. "
Ning Shu nodded and could not help but sigh.
This woman who bore the burden of infamy had created countless legends when she was still alive. She had once brought unprecedented excitement to the depressed and decadent atmosphere of the Great Yue Dynasty, and let countless subjects of the Great Yue Dynasty see hope again. Even if she met her death in a sorry state and her legend came to an end, the hidden chess pieces she left behind during her life still led every turbulent twists and turns many years later.
As the two whispered, the door of the Duke fu came into view. It would be a lie to say that there was no attachment, especially since they had just spent the night together. It was just that the night was really late, and it would be unreasonable to delay any longer. Ning Shu pulled up the corner of her skirt and got down from the carriage. She stood outside the window and looked at him. She whispered a good night and urged him to return early. He nodded slightly and used his white hand to lift the bamboo curtain. He followed her voice and smiled gently at her.
Her cheeks couldn't help but blush as she urged him to quickly return home. He was already poisoned, so how could he tire himself out? But he smiled and nodded again, still not moving.
Ning Shu could not help but laugh. She only felt that the two were too strange at this moment. It was so strange that she only wanted to ask each other: Tell me, why is the moonlight so beautiful tonight?
She was still immersed in the breathtaking moonlight when she suddenly heard the sound of the Duke fu's door opening. Hearing the news that Ning Shu had returned, Ning Deyuan brought the servants to personally welcome her. However, he did not specifically welcome Xiahou Qing, "Shu 'er, you're back. Where's Ji 'er? Didn't you say you'd bring him to the Lantern Festival, play for a while and then send him back? Why did you wait until now? "
Ning Shu's mind buzzed. A burst of coldness rushed from the soles of her feet to her meridians. She stepped forward and anxiously said, "Forsythia did not bring Ji 'er back? More than an hour ago, I ordered Forsythia to take Ji 'er back to the fu first. Why are they not back yet? It shouldn't be like this. "
Even if Ji 'er had fallen asleep on the way back to the residence from the East Market, the carriage had slowed down in fear of waking him up. However, they should have been back in an hour at most. How could they have waited until now? An ominous premonition suddenly gripped her heart, causing her to instinctively tremble. Cao Hou, Cao Hou!
Feeling Ning Shu's panic, Xiahou Qing quickly walked to her side and said, "Xiao Shu, don't think too much. With Hui Mo escorting them all the way back to the mansion, nothing will happen. Even if they really meet, Hui Mo will use his body to protect Ji 'er. Don't worry too much. Maybe we're just overthinking things. Tonight's Lantern Festival is packed with people and carriages. It's very likely that they were delayed on the road, so they came back a little slower. Don't worry, I will definitely find him. Jiusi, heed my command! Immediately gather all the people in the Prince's Mansion, no slacking off! You must bring the Young Master of the Ning Family back safe and sound. Otherwise, I will punish you severely! "
The entire Duke's Mansion was brightly lit. Hundreds of servants set out together with the personal guards of the Prince of Nanping's Mansion. They searched along the roads that the Duke's Mansion had to pass through to reach the East Market. However, after searching for nearly two hours, there was still no news. Princess He Xin was very anxious. Her body was already weak, and she had just gone through the previous case, which hurt her foundation. When she heard the news of Ji 'er's disappearance, her old illness relapsed. Ning Deyuan hurriedly urged his horse to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial physician.
"Mother, don't be afraid. Ji 'er will be fine. I promise you that he will be fine." Ning Shu hugged her mother and kept comforting her by her ear. At the same time, she was trying to convince herself that nothing would happen. Her most beloved younger brother was only five and a half years old, and was as soft as a kitten. Nothing would happen to him. Absolutely nothing would happen to him!
She tried her best to stay calm and not let fear cloud her mind. At the same time, she tried her best to recall the topographic map of the capital in her mind. She tried to figure out where they were most likely to be at the moment from all the twists and turns.
"Here! It must be here! " When a dot of light hit her brain, she immediately stood up and said, "On the way back to the Mansion along Wen Song Street, there is a small path that is connected to Tianshui Alley. That alley is very complicated and is very suitable for hiding. If someone set it up … if they encounter an accident, it is very likely that they will choose to go from Wen Song Street to Tianshui Alley to hide! However, at the same time, there is very little human habitation. There are only a few people living in the alley. When it is late at night, it is very difficult to see scattered lights … "
Ning Shu couldn't say what she wanted to say next. Scattered lights couldn't be seen meant that if the enemy set an ambush in advance, no one would be able to find it.
