The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

The old doctor was confused by the question.

He moved his lips, and under Chen Yu's serious and stern gaze, he agreed honestly:

"Sir, I came into the house to see a patient around noon today.

I was taking the pulse of a lady who was seriously injured. Her body was covered with wounds and whip marks, and she had a high fever. I saw that she was about to die, so I prescribed a strong medicine to keep her alive.

But, but you can rest assured, I have been practicing medicine for decades and I would never do anything so foolish as to regard human life as worthless. Although those medicinal herbs are very potent, I have carefully considered them and they do not cause much harm to the human body.

As for, as for the time of departure...

When I left, they left in a hurry and threatened me. I don't remember exactly, but it was around 3 p.m.

The old doctor recalled everything that happened during the day and spoke in halting sentences, afraid of saying anything wrong.

He answered with his head down, not noticing how gloomy and terrifying the man's face became after he told the truth. The terrifying aura emanating from his body instantly swept through the entire room.

Not only Xiao Tong, but Chen Yu's expression became serious when he heard the old doctor's words.

Chen Yu felt something was wrong.

Whip wounds, high fever, and hanging on for life, these words made him angry, not to mention the emperor who was looking for the imperial concubine with murderous intent.

Chen Yu didn't dare to look back at the expression of the man beside the bed. He looked at the old doctor and asked again:

"Do you remember what the injured person looks like?"

The old doctor nodded:

“I remember that lady had a scar on her face, but I still remember her general features.

She was seriously injured. I checked her breathing several times and observed her facial expressions and reactions, so I remember it quite clearly."

Chen Yu turned around and looked at Xiao Tong, asking for instructions with his eyes. Xiao Tong was silent for a while and nodded with a calm look. Chen Yu immediately looked at the Qilin Guards behind him.

Qilinwei understood, took two steps forward, took out a small portrait that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and unfolded it in front of the old doctor.

"Look, is this the person who was injured?"

The old doctor carefully identified the person with excellent temperament in the portrait, and nodded vigorously after a few breaths:

“Yes, that’s the lady.

But she was not as energetic as in the portrait during the day, and she was dying and in a coma.

Moreover, after falling into a coma, the lady kept talking in her delirium and looked like she was about to become delirious due to the fever.

I was feeling uneasy at the time, so I asked those people to apply medicine on her whip wounds. However, as soon as I took out the medicine, they stopped me.

When the lady was finally taken to the carriage, her injuries were not treated in time.”

"Did you hear where they were going?"

Although he knew that this question would most likely not get an answer, Chen Yu still asked.

It was not for any other reason, but because the coldness spreading behind him was too creepy and terrifying. Chen Yu did not want to give up any hope.

Chen Yu had no doubt that if something really happened to the Imperial Concubine this time, the Emperor would definitely massacre the court.

Without the intervention of important figures in the court to disrupt the situation and provide cover, Xiao Luoling alone would not have been able to hunt down and kidnap the Imperial Concubine repeatedly under the noses of the Qilin Guards, and repeatedly shake off the Qilin Guards' pursuit.

The emperor must know this better than him.

When Chen Yu asked this, Xiao Tong, who was standing beside the bed, finally looked up.

Looking at the bewildered old doctor, Xiao Tong loosened his clenched fists for a moment, letting the blood drip from his palms onto the ground.

The old doctor thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head:

"I'm sorry, sir. I was treating the lady in the room at the time and didn't hear where they were going."

The old doctor's words immediately extinguished the last remaining hope in Xiao Tong's heart. The last ray of light in his black eyes faded away, and Xiao Tong suddenly turned around and walked out quickly.

“Send the people back.

Divide the troops into four groups and continue the pursuit."

This city is well connected, with access to four different directions: east, west, south and north. Without Xu Junjun, the news from the Qilin Guards has not yet been reported back, so Xiao Tong can only chase in the most likely direction.

"Yes!"

Chen Yu arranged for someone to send the old doctor back to the pharmacy, and immediately ordered his men to follow Xiao Tong on the journey.

For the next three days, both Xiao Tong and Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen on the other side were on the road looking for people.

Finally, after layers of investigation, search and locking by the Qilin Guards, they finally set their target on the northwest pass.

Chen Yu and Xiao Tong rushed to Guancheng day and night, and passed the news to Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen on the way.

In a blink of an eye, eight days had passed since Jiang Wumei was arrested alone.

Xiao Luoling finally brought his men to reunite with his allies.

One day later, the Qilin Guard, who was still on the way, received a letter of unknown origin. Chen Yu took the letter, looked at the signature on the envelope, frowned, and immediately presented it to Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong reined in his horse and read the letter, his dark eyes fixed on the time and place marked on the letter, and the smell of blood lingered between his lips and teeth.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's a conspiracy. Please allow me to lead some people to investigate and make some preparations."

Xiao Tong did not agree, but looked at Chen Yu's stern face and asked another question:

"Where is Zhao Qi?"

Chen Yu was stunned and immediately said:

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from Lord Zhao yesterday saying everything has been completed and he is on his way to join us.

We will reach Guancheng in about five days."

"Send a message to him to speed up. I don't care what method he uses. I want to see him appear before me in three days."

Xiao Tong's voice was cold and low, as if wrapped in the cold winter snow. Chen Yu's heart shuddered and he immediately lowered his head:

"I will arrange for the message to be delivered immediately."

Chen Yu disappeared from his sight. Xiao Tong looked at the long dusty road that wound its way to the horizon and gripped the reins tightly, his dark eyes filled with a sinister and silent look.

Xiao Luoling, this time I will chop off your head with my own hands and let you reunite with your mother!

……

The night in Guancheng is boring.

The entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and not a single star could be seen.

In a simple and crude house, Xiao Luoling was meeting with her allies to discuss the next deployment. A man in black came hurriedly and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xiao Luoling's expression changed slightly, he put down the teacup with a bang, and said angrily:

"Are you all dead?

There are so many people, but they can’t keep an eye on her!

If she dies, you will all die as an apology for your sins!"

Xiao Luoling got angry, and the man in black fell silent. The man sitting opposite him chuckled and put down the hot tea in his hand with a click.

"This Imperial Consort is the key to our ability to check and balance Xiao Tong, and we must not let her make any mistakes.

You should go and take a look at the situation first. We can discuss the rest tomorrow."

Xiao Luoling swept his angry gaze across the opposite side, and when he met the disgusted face, he snorted coldly, suddenly stood up, and walked away quickly with arrogance and disgust.

The men in black followed closely, and their figures turned into two black dots and quickly disappeared into the night.

After the people left, a man standing behind him bent down and asked:

"Do you need me to send someone to deal with her?"

It's obvious who she is referring to.

The person who spoke just now shook his head slightly, revealing a cold and playful smile:

“She’s still valuable, so keep her for two days.

It won’t be too late to kill him after I meet Xiao Tong.”
