Shen Yun raised his hand and touched Ning Yin's forehead as if he were very concerned, and then said, "It's good that you don't have a fever. You were probably just frightened. Just go to the doctor and get some medicine for fright."
The man spoke to himself, then helped Ningyin down from the carriage and led her into the clinic.
"Doctor, please take a look at my wife, she's not feeling well."
Shen Yun called out and helped her sit down in the chair again. Ning Yin found it ridiculous. If he had been half as attentive as he was now before, things wouldn't have come to this.
This man, besides his arrogant and overbearing demeanor, possessed only a damned obsession and possessiveness towards himself, and never had a shred of genuine affection for anyone.
Soon, the old doctor inside heard the commotion, lifted the curtain, peeked out, his expression changed slightly, and then he waved to Ning Yin.
"You're here to see a doctor? Come in with me."
The old doctor had a smile on his face. Shen Yun didn't pay any attention to it and was about to go over to help Ning Yin up when he heard the old doctor say again, "Only patients are allowed to come in. This is the rule I follow when I see patients. Please forgive me, sir."
"this..."
Shen Yun frowned in displeasure. He had never seen a clinic that didn't allow family members to accompany patients. Could it be some kind of shady establishment? Before Shen Yun could think about it further, Ning Yin covered her mouth and gagged a few more times.
He then turned to look at Ning Yin's unpleasant expression, gripped the sword at his waist, and was about to say something...
"Should I get treatment or not? I have other things to do if I don't!"
Shen Yun glared at the disdainful old doctor and reluctantly escorted Ning Yin behind the curtain.
"Ayin, I'll wait for you outside. Just call my name if you need anything."
He gave another thoughtful instruction, and after watching the senior doctor close the door to the cubicle, he turned around and sat down in his seat.
After Ning Yin went in, the old doctor stared at her with a strange look, and then looked her over.
Ning Yin was startled by the old doctor's strange appearance and retreated repeatedly. But now she only wanted to leave and didn't care about anything else. She reached out and took a bracelet off her wrist.
"Doctor, I'll give you this bracelet. Could you please use it to distract that man outside?"
The old doctor saw the person in front of him clearly, then suddenly burst into laughter, tearing off his face to reveal a stunningly handsome face.
"Heavenly Immortal, are you alright? It's me. I was right after all. I knew it would be right to buy all the shops around the palace."
Ning Yin was so startled by this sudden change that her face froze, and she almost didn't recognize Li Chengyan in front of her.
Before she could react, Li Chengyan had already pulled her into the innermost secret room.
Ning Yin was so shocked by this inexplicable situation that she couldn't speak for a long time until Li Chengyan spoke again, at which point she came back to her senses.
"Li Chengyan, it's you?"
"That's right, it's me. Why didn't Jingyuan come out with you? Did he get the defense map? And did that bastard Shen Yun bully you?"
Li Chengyan asked several questions in one breath, and then grabbed a dark-colored carrier pigeon from the cage, wrote a note on it, and stuffed it into the pigeon's leg.
"I'm sending a message to our people, telling them that the Crown Princess is safe. Now we need to find a way to lure Shen Yun and the Chu traitors into our trap, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."
After Li Chengyan released the pigeon, he turned to Ning Yin and explained their plan for the time.
It turns out that Li Chengyan and Xiao Xuan came together. However, Xiao Xuan was responsible for rescuing him from the palace, while Li Chengyan bought all the surrounding shops in the name of wealthy merchants from various countries in order to better gather information.
To his surprise, he ran into Ning Yin as soon as he arrived at the clinic.
At first, he thought he must be seeing things, but when he saw Ning Yin's aloof and refined face with his own eyes...
Even if he were stupid, he wouldn't admit his mistake, and with that scoundrel next to him who had previously clashed with him, he was even more certain.
As Li Chengyan and Ning Yin talked, they walked out through a hidden passage. They couldn't afford to have a direct confrontation with Shen Yun now, lest they alert him.
Shen Yun waited outside for about half an hour, but Ning Yin still hadn't come out, and his expression became increasingly tense.
He thought it was just a doctor's visit and a prescription, how could it have taken so long? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He quickly got up and headed towards the cubicle behind the curtain.
"Ah Yin, are you done yet?"
Shen Yun tentatively called out, his hand already gripping his longsword tightly, ready to deal with the situation inside at any moment.
A few seconds later, seeing no movement inside, the man's heart sank to the bottom. He knew the situation was bad, so he kicked out.
To his surprise, the wooden door was locked from the inside. Shen Yun's first kick failed to open it, so he increased his strength and kicked it several times until the wooden door collapsed to the ground.
It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Shen Yun quickly drew his longsword to search for Ning Yin's whereabouts.
"Ayin, Ayin!"
He called out a few times, but found that there seemed to be no one inside. He clearly saw the two of them go in, so how could they have disappeared into thin air? Could it be that the old man was really a wicked thief who took the opportunity to kidnap Ning Yin?
Shen Yun searched inside for a while but couldn't find the secret chamber's mechanism. In addition, because it was dark, he ultimately found nothing.
Angrily emerging from the cubicle, Shen Yun's face had turned deathly pale from its previous lividity. He quickly left the clinic and searched it thoroughly, but there were no other passages around the clinic, indicating that they had taken an underground route.
Shen Yun was so angry he almost vomited blood. He clenched his fists and stared intently in all directions, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
Daring to snatch someone right under his nose was simply courting death. The first suspicious person Shen Yun thought of was Chu Mo.
No one in the State of Chu would covet their woman except her.
He quickly boarded the carriage to the palace, and with his sword in hand, Shen Yun arrived at Chu Mo's palace with a murderous aura.
At this moment, Chu Mo was lying on the couch eating a banana when she heard someone shouting sternly outside. She sat up straight and looked towards the door.
Having just learned that Xiao Xuan had successfully obtained the defense map, she planned to resign from her post with the King of Chu the next day, saying that she wanted to go to the State of Wei ahead of schedule.
I never expected that Shen Yun would be in the palace again. He's really bold.
Before she could think too much, Shen Yun kicked a eunuch aside and began to approach the main hall step by step, until one of the eunuchs cried out and fell at his feet.
Chu Mo finally saw Shen Yun's face filled with murderous intent; his scarlet eyes seemed to want to roast him alive.
"General Shen, I will forgive your past transgressions and spare your life. How dare you do such an arrogant thing? Do you really not respect the dignity of my royal family?"
After saying that, Chu Mo threw the banana peel he had just finished eating at Shen Yun.
Ning Yin followed Li Chengyan through the underground passage and arrived at a quaint little village.
"Heavenly Immortal, please stay here for now. We will set off immediately once Jingyuan returns."
