Chapter 981 Dharma Fate (1)
Prince Rui's mansion is particularly unusual tonight.
The servants who came and went in the courtyard all wore solemn expressions, as if the sky had fallen. Even the night wind seemed icy cold, blowing so hard that cold sweat broke out on people's foreheads.
Tieyi followed the young man and whispered, "Master, no trace has been found."
Xie Jingxing glanced at him. The calmer his expression became, the more a black storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes, as if it was about to sweep him in at any moment. He asked in return, "No?"
Tieyi shuddered and was about to speak when Gao Yang came out. Gao Yang still reeked of alcohol, having obviously been hastily summoned from the banquet. Fortunately, his eyes were clear and he wasn't drunk. He walked straight over and said, "Sister-in-law is fine. The knife wound didn't hit any vital parts. They've bandaged it. She probably fainted from shock. She took some tranquilizers. She'll wake up tomorrow morning."
Xie Jingxing's eyes calmed down a bit, and Tieyi also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard Gao Yang say, "But Pei Lang's injuries are very serious. The knife wound is too deep, and he lost a lot of blood. I have done everything I can. Whether he can make it depends on himself." The implication was that whether Pei Lang could wake up depended on whether he was strong enough.
"It seems that Mr. Pei blocked the knife for Madam," Tieyi said cautiously. Although Pei Lang's position in Prince Rui's mansion was somewhat delicate, people at this moment had to be grateful to him.
"This isn't a good thing." Gao Yang glanced at Xie Jingxing, who had a sullen expression, and said, "If he really can't wake up...given my sister-in-law's temperament, she'll feel guilty for the rest of her life."
Shen Miao was a person with clear feelings and hated being indebted to others. She would definitely repay any favor she owed. Pei Lang had truly risked his life to save her. When Shen Miao woke up and learned about this, she was terrified to think what would have happened to her if Pei Lang hadn't survived.
"Has Longye's city gate been sealed?" Xie Jingxing asked.
"It's sealed." Tieyi said, "The Moyu Army's Anbu members have all been dispatched, but since no one around noticed, Madam didn't even have time to call for help. That person either has no martial arts skills or is extremely skilled."
Xie Jingxing said: "Don't even think about it, just catch him alive and kill him directly."
"The person behind this..."
"Check again!"
Tie Yi left as ordered. Xie Jing Xing looked at Gao Yang again and said, "You stay here tonight. If the situation becomes critical, there's no need to go back and forth."
Gao Yang said, "I know." He glanced at Xie Jingxing again and said, "You should rest first." His expression was very solemn.
To attack the Princess of Rui, not far from the Bixiao Tower, was audacious indeed. Furthermore, it seemed they didn't even care about the Prince of Rui's Mansion. The only people in Dingjing City who had such audacity were probably the Lu family. However, the Lu family wouldn't attack Shen Miao, so the story behind this was quite significant.
No matter what, this was a signal that the forces hidden in the dark could no longer hold back and began to stir. The first person they chose to sacrifice in Prince Rui’s mansion was Shen Miao.
But at the moment, Xie Jingxing didn't have the heart to care about so many things. He walked into the house and saw Shen Miao lying on the boat. Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes drooped. She looked very weak.
He sighed and sat down beside Shen Miao's bed.
On the table inside the room was a food basket containing longevity noodles that Shen Miao had instructed the Bixiao Tower kitchen to make specially for him. Ba Jiao said that they had filtered it with cold water first, fearing it might have gone bad. However, it had been so long that even after filtering, it would have already become a sticky mass.
