The smile in the emperor's eyes gradually faded. He pursed his lips and clenched his bony hands, not knowing why this happened so suddenly.
Clearly, on the day he left, she promised to wait for him and wait for him to marry her.
He thought they had already understood each other.
He recalled that in the more than a month they had been together, she had never explicitly said that she liked him.
It turns out... all this was just my wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, the emperor actually laughed, but Liu Dehai could not hear any happiness in his laughter.
"Why did she leave?"
He suppressed his anger, and his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, making a creaking sound.
Aning was frightened by his aura at the moment. He was so gloomy and the veins on his hands were bulging. Aning was afraid that he would hit her.
She trembled and replied, "Madam...didn't tell me."
"Did she leave any words?" The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Madam... I just told you not to look for her. She saved you, but you also saved her, so the two cancel each other out and neither owes the other anything."
"The lady also said that we just met by chance and she hopes you will find a good partner in the future."
The emperor suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"We owe each other nothing, we just met by chance and found a soulmate..." The emperor laughed in anger.
His face was tense, his eyes instantly became cold, and the anger in his heart spread like wildfire.
"Liu Dehai, mobilize all your forces to search... dig deep to find him."
He wanted to ask her why!
No woman had ever dared to play tricks on him. She deceived his heart and then left.
How can there be such a thing in this world!
"Go to Medicine King Valley and capture Doctor Wu's disciples and bring them to the capital."
She ran away with Doctor Wu. She might not care about her senior brother whom she had never met, but it was impossible for Doctor Wu not to care about his eldest disciple.
"This maidservant should also be arrested and thrown into prison."
The emperor looked sinister and his face was cold.
Liu Dehai didn't dare to look up. He hadn't seen the emperor so angry for a long time.
On the way back to the palace, the emperor didn't say a word, but just clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask if you would like to have dinner today?"
The emperor remembered that he had told his grandmother yesterday that he would bring the woman he liked to see her and have dinner with her today.
Now...Xu Lingyi is nowhere to be found.
"Go and tell them that I have something to do today, so I won't be going."
His passing in this state would also worry the Empress Dowager.
The emperor wrote Xu Lingyi's name over and over again on the paper, and he now began to doubt whether this name was true or false.
He hated himself even more for not exploring her past.
Now, he had nothing to offer to find her except her portrait.
By the time he discovered them, they had been gone for nearly a month. In such a vast sea of people, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
If she had not escaped with Doctor Wu from Medicine King Valley, he would probably be even more desperate at this moment.
Now there is a glimmer of hope in my heart.
…………
"Have you heard? The great doctor's disciple from Medicine King Valley was captured by the Emperor. I heard his medical skills were inadequate and he was damaging the dragon's body."
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. The imperial edict has been posted up ahead. I heard the emperor will execute him in a month."
"This is the little genius doctor from Medicine King Valley. In terms of medical skills, if Medicine King Valley is second to none in the martial arts world, no one dares to claim to be first. Even the imperial physicians in the palace may not be as skilled as those in Medicine King Valley..."
"This shows that Medicine King Valley doesn't live up to its reputation. I'm afraid it was just seeking fame and reputation."
"master……"
Xu Lingyi grabbed Wu's sleeve and said, "Let's leave here first and don't bother with them."
Xu Lingyi didn't really want to escape, but she was once the Princess of Changshan.
If she was willing to follow the emperor into the palace after knowing his identity, it would be inconsistent with the original owner's personality.
She could only come up with this plan, and Doctor Wu was the clue she left for the emperor.
After all, the emperor is her main mission, and she must enter the palace.
Returning to the courtyard they rented, Doctor Wu spoke up, "I didn't expect him to be so obsessed with you."
He is the emperor and he can have any woman he wants.
Xu Lingyi's leaving with him was a statement of her feelings. As the emperor, she shouldn't have been entangled with him.
"Disciple...didn't expect this either."
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and said, "Master, let's go to the capital. He is the emperor. If he really kills my brother..."
Doctor Wu shook his head. He now knew that she didn't want to be with the emperor, so he wouldn't ask her to go back.
"I will go to the capital alone, and you hide."
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "Master, it's useless for you to go. We all know that he is looking for me. If I don't show up, he will be extremely angry..."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and smiled faintly: "Master, I don't want to implicate innocent people and ask Senior Brother to get into trouble."
Doctor Wu regretted deeply: "I didn't think it through. I should have stayed with Aning. That way, he wouldn't be able to control you."
Xu Lingyi smiled softly and said, "If you had stayed, he would have used you to threaten me, just like he is doing now. Master, don't blame yourself. Besides, without you, I wouldn't have been able to have such a smooth journey."
Xu Lingyi comforted Doctor Wu, and seeing that he was still frowning, she smiled faintly.
"Master, have you forgotten that I was about to promise him that I and he are indeed destined to be together? If it weren't for his identity, I wouldn't have to run away."
"Now it seems that he and I may be destined to be together."
Doctor Wu's expression was serious. "Do you really think so?"
Xu Lingyi was silent for a moment, and finally smiled.
"Master, let's go back."
"I'll just pretend I've forgotten the past, that I was once the Princess of Changshan. I'm just a commoner. So... being with him isn't against moral principles."
Doctor Wu sighed deeply.
…………
"Your Majesty has found a trace! Our people spotted an old man and a young man heading towards the capital. The old man said he was the Divine Doctor Wu from Medicine King Valley."
The emperor stood up suddenly, and ink dripped onto the paper.
"Where are they?"
"We are almost reaching the outskirts of Beijing now."
"Prepare the horses! I will go myself!"
It has been almost a month since Xu Lingyi was discovered missing, and the day of execution of the eldest disciple of Yaowang Valley is getting closer.
The emperor was also worried about whether they would come.
At first, the emperor was indeed furious. He thought that if he found Xu Lingyi... he would definitely make her suffer.
He wanted to lock her tightly by his side so that there would be no possibility for her to leave him.
He wanted her to be in front of him all the time and be his woman.
Later, as time went by, he began to worry about her well-being.
During the month she disappeared, the emperor never slept well for a single day and was always awakened from his dreams.
Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Disciple, do you hear any sound?"
"Master, it's the sound of horse hooves."
Xu Lingyi looked up and saw that a large group of soldiers had appeared on the mountain road not far away.
The person in charge was none other than the emperor.
