Chapter 303 Leaving without Saying Goodbye
When Xiaoyu saw Chen Zhancai being fished out of the pit, he flashed and disappeared into the night.
"What happened?" Xiaoyu asked with a sharp look.
Zhuifeng knelt on one knee and reported, "Master, there's news from Kyoto that your serious illness has been announced and I'm afraid we can no longer keep it a secret.
Various forces were waiting for an opportunity to make their move, and the court was in chaos.
The armies of Xiyue Kingdom and Beiyi Kingdom are ready to make a move at the border, trying to invade the territory of our Da Ning Dynasty.
If you don't show up, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make some moves..."
Xiaoyu smiled indifferently, "They are just some clowns. I don't take them seriously. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's okay. Let him jump around for a few more days."
Chu Jinxuan, I will make you pay back a hundredfold for all the pain you've caused me to endure, and I will make sure you never get the position you care about most.
Zhuifeng looked a little anxious. "Master, the situation is critical now. We cannot delay any further. I beg you to return to Kyoto as soon as possible."
Xiaoyu frowned and said nothing. He had been struggling for the past few days over whether or not to tell the girl his true identity.
Zhuyue knew what he was worried about and said hurriedly, "Master, are you worried about Miss Chen? Why not take her back to Kyoto with you? She is a great doctor and it might be beneficial for you to keep her by your side."
"No, she saved my life, and I haven't repaid her yet. How can I let her be put in danger?" Xiaoyu waved her hand. "Get ready and set off immediately."
Zhuifeng's face lit up with joy. "I have already prepared the swift horses and am just waiting for your order."
"Wait a moment." Xiaoyu paused for a moment, "You can carry the token to mobilize the palace's secret guards with you."
"I have it with me," Zhuifeng said, pulling out a piece of jet-black jade from his arms. The words "Dragon Shadow" were engraved on it. "Master, what do you want it for?"
Xiaoyu took the token and breathed a sigh of relief. "Leave it as a keepsake. If she gets into trouble in the future, she can bring this to me."
Zhuifeng hurriedly spoke up to stop him, "Absolutely not! These are tokens for mobilizing the Dragon Shadow Secret Guards. We only have two of them. Giving them to Miss Chen might cause unnecessary trouble."
"It's okay, I believe her." Xiaoyu flashed away and was already a few steps away. "Prepare a fast horse, I'll be back soon."
Xiaoyu returned to the room clutching the jade pendant tightly, and looked around, with a deep sense of reluctance in her eyes.
Here he is carefree, without intrigues, without deceptions, and there are people who care about him.
If possible, he really wanted to lose his memory forever and stay here forever.
But he couldn't, he had to tear the prince's hypocritical face apart with his own hands.
Assassination, poisoning, he must avenge this.
Xiaoyu took out a piece of paper, wrote on it in a few strokes, put the jade pendant on it, and walked out of the room without looking back.
Outside Nanshan Village.
Zhuifeng and Zhuyue had been waiting for a long time. The three of them rode their horses towards Shengjing...
Shengjing.
In the palace.
Emperor Chu Yao sat at his desk, his face gloomy. "Why hasn't Prince Ning returned to the capital yet? Send someone to Anyang County at full speed to summon him. Tell him to come back here as soon as possible."
Seeing the emperor's wrath, General Cheng knelt on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning is seriously ill and cannot travel long distances. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been delayed for so long."
"It's been over half a year. What's the problem? If he doesn't come back, let him die there!"
Chu Yao held the memorial tightly, his hands trembling slightly, and said helplessly,
"The West Moon Kingdom led its troops to harass our border, and the border guards were seriously negligent in their duties. If he doesn't return, I'm afraid there will be changes on the border."
General Cheng said calmly, "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the troops. I will do my duty and teach Xiyue a lesson."
Crown Prince Chu Jinxuan lowered his head slightly and snorted in his heart. The provocation on the border of Xiyue Kingdom was a plan of him and Prime Minister Liu, just to make the emperor anxious and wait for Prince Ning to return to the capital. Humph, how could a dead man come back to save the emperor?
Chu Jinxuan hid the smug look in his eyes and said, "Father, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. I beg your Majesty to issue an order. I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the West Moon Kingdom."
Chu Yao looked at the prince with disappointment in his eyes. Ever since Prince Ning went to Anyang County and disappeared, this son had become more and more arrogant, forming cliques for personal gain, secretly developing power, and eliminating dissidents. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.
He had already received the news that the death of Prince Ning was a rumor spread by him, his good son. He had already known about Prince Ning's disappearance. Could it be that he was really dead?
No, he didn't believe it. Prince Ning was so outstanding that the prince was no match for him. But the child valued family ties and might have fallen into the prince's trap.
Impossible. General Cheng received a secret report that Prince Ning had been found, but he could not return to the capital. In any case, he could not act rashly. He had to wait.
"Xuan'er, you've been weak since childhood. You can't stand the bitter cold of the border. It's better for you to manage the affairs of the capital in Kyoto!"
"Yes, I obey your order."
"Okay, everyone, please leave. We'll discuss the border issue tomorrow." Chu Yao waved his hand weakly.
Chu Jinxuan bowed and retreated, complaining in his heart, "Father, you have been in this position for too long, it's time for me, your son, to take over. Now the armies of Xiyue Kingdom and Beiyi Kingdom are approaching just to make you anxious. Your precious son who is good at fighting has already met his end, and you still want to wait for him to dominate the border."
Humph, I'll give you a chance. If you can't come up with a good plan, I'll come and purge the emperor and take his place...

The next morning.
Chen Han wants to go back to the academy to study.
Chen Qingqing got up early and went to Xiaohan's room. She gave the itching powder she had prepared last night to Chen Han and told him to use it when in danger but not to harm others.
Chen Han nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Lin had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the siblings coming to the dining room, she hurriedly greeted them, "Come and eat."
Chen Qingqing was puzzled when she saw Xiaoyu was not there. "You guys eat first. I'll go call Xiaoyu."
Lin smiled and said, "Go ahead. This child has been acting a little strange lately. I wonder if he's remembered something?"
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly. Xiaoyu had indeed been acting strangely these past few days. He was often in a daze and not as diligent as before. Recently, he even stopped going to the sugar factory. Could it be that he had recovered his memory?
Arriving at the door of Xiaoyu's room, Chen Qingqing raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling softly, "Xiaoyu, are you up? It's time for dinner."
After calling out a few times, no one answered. Chen Qingqing pushed the door open and walked in. The quilt on the kang was neatly folded, but the person was gone.
I wondered where everyone had gone so early in the morning.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of an ink-colored jade plaque on the table, with a piece of paper underneath.
Chen Qingqing was stunned.
Could it be that Xiaoyu regained his memory and left without saying goodbye?
She picked up the jade token and found it was a completely black token with the words "Dragon Shadow" engraved on it...
