The guard who stood forward and handed over the black jade pendant was quickly controlled by the team in front of the palace gate.
Another guard took the opportunity to escape into the crowd on the snowy street.
Princess Fengling held the black jade pendant in her hand and shouted, "Search!"
The guards quickly divided into three groups and searched every house in the imperial city.
The guard climbed the eaves and walls and finally flew into Ningshi Medical Clinic. He rushed into the clinic exhausted from Mr. Ning's clinic and then fell to his knees with a thud.
Using the last bit of strength, he spoke to Mr. Ning.
"Mr. Ning, Brother Yan Yunshu, the city defense captain Yan Yunyi is in trouble. He was seriously injured on the day the new emperor ascended the throne and is suspected to have been abducted to Maple Forest City. Please help, Mr. Ning."
After finishing his words in one breath, the guard was silent again.
Mr. Ning hurried forward to take his pulse. Finally, he sighed and shook his head.
Ningshi Medical Clinic is spread across all the major cities in Tianze, and Fenglin City is no exception. However, Fenglin City is now occupied by the former eldest prince Xu Jingye. It is difficult to enter the city, and even more difficult to leave the city. Not ordinary people can enter the city, let alone bring a living person out easily.
However, it is not impossible to hide Yan Yunyi quietly in the city.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Ning called Ning Jinhua over.
"Jinhua, Yan Yunshu once saved your life. Now is the time for us to repay her."
Ning Jinhua agreed. When he was about to leave, Mr. Ning gave him repeated instructions before sending him far away.
It is difficult to enter Fenglin City, but if Ning Jinhua, the direct descendant of Ningshi Medical Clinic, goes there alone, it will not be difficult.
The situation is now critical, and Ning Jinhua has no choice but to take the risk.
Hopefully, everything goes well.
…
There is heavy snow.
Ning Jinhua looked heavy-faced as he rushed to Fenglin City.
He thought of the girl who had come to the clinic to see him the day before. She was apparently healthy and lively, and extremely wealthy, but she kept telling him how she couldn't sleep and how anxious she was, and asked him to prescribe some tranquilizers to help her sleep.
He originally thought that these medicines could not be prescribed casually.
But unexpectedly, he listened to her and gave her the medicine!
That state of half chaos and half clarity was very similar to the day when he was reborn.
The maid who grabbed the powder and gave it to Yan Shuyao was exactly the same.
Ning Jinhua lifted the car curtain and stared blankly at the falling snow outside the window.
He murmured, "Is it you? Yan Shuyao..."
Yan Shuyao has been gone for many days, but he still doesn't believe that she is no longer in this world. He has been with her for so many years and has done all kinds of bad things to her, but he can't hate her. Now he has come back to this world and learned many truths.
He still couldn't hate her, and even when Yan Yunshu pressed him, he still chose to downplay Yan Shuyao's role.
To alleviate her guilt.
Ning Jinhua frowned, his face, about thirteen or fourteen years old, looked particularly handsome against the snow.
His eyes were sad and he was worried.
"If she were you, that would be great..."
It’s a pity that, in all the lives to come, you love your imperial power and high position, while I only want to be intoxicated by the fragrance of medicine and live a peaceful life.
We are destined to be apart.
The weather was cold and snow was falling. Fenglin City was not far from Tianze Imperial City, but the carriage headed southwest.
The weather became milder and milder.
Gradually, the heavy snow turned into light snow.
The light snow turned into drizzle.
Finally, there is a warm winter scene with red and yellow colors.
On both sides of the road, there are large tracts of maple forests, exuding a unique fragrance.
Another half day passed.
We have arrived at Maple Forest City.
Ning Jinhua got off the carriage and walked to the city gate.
I handed the identification document to the city guard for inspection, and when I looked up, I saw maple leaves flying around, which was very beautiful.
"Mr. Ning, please come in."
Ning Jinhua patted her skirt and walked into Fenglin City.
…
Princess Fengling was in the imperial city. Seeing that there was still no news of the other guard, she had no choice but to go to see the controlled guard with the black jade pendant.
The guard looked at her fiercely, knowing that the Princess Fengling in front of him must have bad intentions.
But no matter how she used both kindness and force to interrogate the guards, they remained silent. She wanted to torture them, but because this was the imperial palace, she, a princess from outside, did not have such great power, so she could only do so temporarily.
When she returned to her Qilan Pavilion and saw the palace maid who was kicked out by Xu Jinghuai.
I remembered what happened that night.
Thinking about what Xu Jinghuai could not tolerate the most was that someone acted on his own in his territory, he couldn't help but feel scared, worried that what happened today would reach Xu Jinghuai's ears and he would be furious.
So he hurriedly went to several places and found the imperial study where Xu Jinghuai was, wanting to tell him casually in advance.
After requesting an audience, he waited anxiously at the door.
After getting permission, he was stunned when he saw Xu Jinghuai, who was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and was extremely cold and aloof.
Xu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows unhappily, "What's the matter?"
Princess Fengling quickly replied, "Cousin... er... Your Majesty, today, when my father and I were just leaving the city gate, we happened to encounter two men dressed as guards holding a fake jade pendant, who said they wanted to see Your Majesty. I was worried they were assassins, so I had the guards capture them. One of them has been apprehended, but the other has escaped..."
After Princess Fengling finished speaking, she looked at the mountain of memorials in front of Xu Jinghuai, and her anxiety eased a lot.
She was confident, thinking about how busy Xu Jinghuai was currently and his attitude of never caring much about what she said.
This time they probably won’t investigate further and will just send me away and be done with it.
I won't even ask about the details.
Who would have thought that Xu Jinghuai would put down his pen in the midst of his busy schedule.
ask.
"What jade pendant?"
Princess Fengling was shocked. She didn't dare to take out the jade pendant. Judging from the color and material of the jade pendant she had just seen, it was probably not fake.
But what could the guards from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion want from Xu Jinghuai? Why would they rush here in such a hurry and bring a token with them? It must be Yan Yunshu!
Since it was Yan Yunshu, she couldn't let him see Xu Jinghuai!
Princess Fengling could only delay time temporarily.
"I haven't brought the jade pendant with me yet. If Your Majesty wants to see it, I can bring it to you tomorrow."
Xu Jinghuai took a glance.
He waved his hand and let her leave.
Princess Fengling did not expect everything to go so smoothly. She hurriedly left the imperial study as if she had been pardoned.
Snow was sweeping across.
The moment the door of the imperial study closed, Xu Jinghuai's brows turned as cold as ice, and he gave orders.
"Find out."
