After dealing with Liu Yunyun's matter, Fang Qingyue continued to busy herself in the clinic copying medical prescriptions.
Previously, Fang Chiyue handled many matters alone in the clinic. Whenever she encountered some very difficult diseases, she always had to go back to the mansion to ask her. The going back and forth wasted a lot of time.
If she wrote down all the medical prescriptions she remembered that might be useful, it would help Fang Chiyue.
After writing for a while, Fang Qingyue pinched her sore shoulders, looked up, and found Fang Chiyue napping at the table.
Because of Fang Qingyue's morning sickness these days, she has been the only one supporting such a large clinic.
Although Shopkeeper Jin helped with purchasing goods, Fang Chiyue still had to do the work of drying and displaying the medicine by herself.
But she was only a fourteen-year-old girl after all, and no one knew how she had managed to get through these few days.
"Chiyue, Chiyue?" Fang Qingyue gently nudged Fang Chiyue's arm and said softly, "If you're tired, go back to the mansion and rest. There aren't many patients in the clinic right now anyway. I'll finish copying these prescriptions and then go back."
Fang Chiyue woke up from her sleep in a daze, with red marks on her face from dozing off.
She rubbed her eyes and shook her head: "Sister, it's okay, I'll wait for you here, let's go back together."
"You've been running around the clinic all day long lately. It's really too hard and tiring. I really don't want to let you go. What's more, your eyes have only just been healed. Excessive use of them might have an impact. It's better for you to return to the palace as soon as possible." Fang Qingyue's brows suddenly softened, and she said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. Before you came, I was the only one handling the affairs of the clinic. It's not too much of a problem. You can go and take care of your own things first."
Since she said so, Fang Chiyue couldn't persuade her and could only nod and agree.
On the way back, Fang Chiyue still looked back every few steps, as if she couldn't let go.
Fang Qingyue shook her head slightly, unable to help but find it a little amusing. Fang Chiyue was a few years younger than her, so why was she acting like an older sister and wanting to take care of her?
It really is...
It makes people feel helpless.
She withdrew her gaze and continued copying the medical prescriptions. By the time she wrote down the last one, it was already late.
Fang Qingyue put away the scattered tables, chairs and benches in the clinic, locked the door tightly, and then stood up and walked towards the palace.
She was not feeling well and was not walking very fast, but she did not feel bored as she looked at the new green grass on both sides of the street and the new buds on the trees.
Just when they were halfway there, a dark cloud suddenly came from the west, and then the whole sky was covered by dark clouds.
The dark clouds nearby seemed to be pressing down on her head, and there was a suffocating feeling.
Immediately afterwards, bean-sized raindrops fell rapidly.
There were no eaves to hide under on either side of the street. Fang Qingyue looked around and stepped into an alley.
This alley was remote, with the eaves of the houses on both sides extending out, firmly shielding the alley. It was a little dark, but it did not affect Fang Qingyue's vision.
She hid in the alley, quietly counting the raindrops falling from the eaves.
It is early spring now. If you get soaked, you will definitely catch a cold.
She was pregnant with a fetus and didn't dare take medicine easily, for fear of arousing Shen Yuhan's suspicion. She had to be extremely careful.
Soon, an elderly lady who looked particularly friendly squeezed into the alley.
She was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, her sleeves and trouser legs bound with ropes, making her look exceptionally streamlined and capable. On the exposed back of her hand was a thin tooth mark, as if it had been bitten a few days ago and hadn't fully healed yet.
Fang Qingyue subconsciously took a step back and almost fell into the rain.
The old lady turned around and saw Fang Qingyue. Before she could say anything, a smile appeared on her face. "Oh, little girl, you are so pretty. I haven't seen a woman as pretty as you in a long time. What do you do for a living?"
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue became more alert.
She took two steps back and turned around to walk out through the alley.
As soon as he took a step forward, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fell backwards.
The old lady caught the unconscious Fang Qingyue, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "It's a pity to leave such a beautiful girl in the capital. Why not come with me and enjoy life as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she waved behind her, and two people appeared from somewhere, carrying Fang Qingyue out of the alley.
Fang Chiyue waited in the palace for a long time, but there was no sign of Fang Qingyue.
Seeing the dark clouds covering the sky and heavy rain falling, she could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly.
After asking the housekeeper for a straw raincoat, Fang Chiyue rushed out of the palace in the rain and went along the route she and Fang Qingyue usually took.
When I walked all the way to the door of the clinic, it was already closed tightly. How could I see a single person?
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Fang Chiyue did not hesitate at all and immediately headed towards the palace.
Along the way, she was worried about where Fang Qingyue was hiding from the rain, so she walked through all the streets and alleys, but still couldn't find any trace of Fang Qingyue.
"Sister Qingyue, where are you?" Fang Chiyue was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. Strong regret and uneasiness gripped her heart tightly.
If she had known this would happen, she should not have left Fang Qingyue alone in the clinic.
Fang Chiyue ran too fast and fell heavily into the rain, soaking her whole body. But she still stood up bravely and shouted loudly: "Sister Qingyue, where are you?"
Shen Yuhan had just finished his official duties at the Inspectorate and was rushing towards the palace.
Fang Chiyue's voice could be heard faintly in the wind, mixed with the rain, making it particularly inconspicuous.
He couldn't help but frowned and said coldly: "Stop the car."
The carriage stopped, Shen Yuhan lifted the door curtain, and happened to see Fang Chiyue's petite and pitiful figure wet by the water.
He ordered someone to stop Fang Chiyue and asked her to get in the car to warm up. His face was stern and he asked, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, Sister Qingyue, Sister Qingyue is missing!" Fang Chiyue cried until she couldn't catch her breath. "Today, Sister Qingyue said that I had been working alone in the clinic these days and was tired, so she asked me to go back to the palace to have a good rest. But I waited for a long time, and Sister Qingyue didn't come back. I went to the clinic to look for her, but the door was locked and there was no sign of Sister. Your Highness, please send someone to help find Sister!"
She was drenched in rain, but still looked out of the carriage worriedly, trying to find Fang Qingyue's trace in the rain.
Shen Yuhan's brows were also deeply furrowed.
In the past few days, boys and girls are still missing in the capital. Ning Liangcai has followed the emperor's orders and strengthened the care, but it is still useless.
And the clues they had previously investigated were also lost.
In addition, Zhou Shiran and Ning Liangcai were watching this place. No matter who kidnapped Fang Qingyue, he could not bear it.
Thinking of this, he still comforted Fang Chiyue and said, "Don't be afraid, I will send people from the mansion to look for her."
