The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Shangguan Jingye was overjoyed to find out Li Muxia's address so early on, and then chatted with the guard.

As soon as Nangong Yufeng entered the outhouse, he took off his outer robe, revealing the uniform of a guard from the Prince Huai's mansion underneath. After tidying up his clothes, he climbed out through the back window. Having learned from his previous incursions into the Prince Huai's mansion, he roughly understood the hiding techniques of the guards and tried to avoid places where people could hide. He encountered some servants along the way, but they didn't say anything because of Nangong Yufeng's guard attire.

Looking at the layout of the Prince Huai's residence, Nangong Yufeng realized that this was his first time there and he was quite unfamiliar with the environment. He couldn't ask anyone for help, so he had to figure it out himself.

Nangong Yufeng quickly wandered around the Prince Huai's mansion, trying to avoid the guards. He went to several courtyards but did not find any trace of Li Muxia.

When he arrived at Liuli Courtyard, he saw two guards standing at the entrance. Although he could not sense the presence of any other people, Nangong Yufeng knew that there must be many experts guarding the place in the shadows.

Nangong Yufeng hid behind the artificial hill, looking at Liuli Courtyard, hoping to see Li Muxia come out. Unfortunately, he watched for a long time but Li Muxia did not come out.

Nangong Huaiyuan returned at this time. He felt that something was wrong with him today. He didn't know what was wrong with the General Zhenguo. He hadn't cared much about this matter before, but today he complained about him to his father.

He felt that Hehua had done something in secret, so as soon as the emperor let him leave, he rushed back and asked the steward of the mansion, only to learn that Hehua had already left.

However, still feeling uneasy, he quickly went to Li Muxia's residence.

When he got inside and found that the person in the room was Hehua, he knew that his intuition was right.

Looking at Tao Yao, he said coldly, "Where is Miss?"

Tao Yao quickly knelt down and said, "It is my fault that I failed to stop Miss and let her go."

Hehua was also a little scared when she saw Nangong Huaiyuan's gloomy face, but she did not regret letting Li Muxia go. Judging from Nangong Huaiyuan's reaction, her Huaiyuan brother really cared about that "Taoyao". Fortunately, she had secretly arranged for someone to ambush her halfway. An hour had already passed, and she did not know if the person had succeeded.

Nangong Huaiyuan gave Hehua a sinister look. He knew in his heart that Hehua must have assisted in this matter, otherwise Li Muxia would not have been able to escape without the guards noticing.

Now is not the time to assign blame; the most urgent task is to find Li Muxia ahead of Nangong Yufeng and Feng Yuhan.

Feng Yuhan should have arrived in Kyoto by now. In the past few days, his businesses have been suppressed by the Shadow Pavilion, and several shops are facing bankruptcy.

He had been coming home so late these past two days to deal with these matters, but he never expected that Hehua would take advantage of the situation and let the person go.

Nangong Huaiyuan tried his best to calm his anger and asked in a calm tone, "Hehua, I know about this matter, so you were involved. Tell me where you took her. The relationship between me and her is not what you think. She is still useful to me."

Looking at the urgency in Nangong Huaiyuan's eyes, Hehua wasn't sure if he was telling the truth. However, she could tell yesterday that Brother Huaiyuan had feelings for that woman. The love in his eyes wouldn't lie. Now, he was just deceiving her by revealing her whereabouts.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that the person must have succeeded by now, and I also wanted to know if Li Muxia was dead or not, so I said, "Brother Huaiyuan, I'm sorry, I did help Taoyao escape, but that's because Taoyao herself said she wanted to leave."

Looking at Nangong Huaiyuan with resentment, she said, "Brother Huaiyuan, forget about her. That woman doesn't love you at all. She's not worth it."

Nangong Huaiyuan said gently, "Didn't I tell you? She's still useful to me. Be good, tell me quickly, where did she go?"

Seeing the flash of anger in Nangong Huaiyuan's eyes, Hehua knew that her Huaiyuan brother was really angry. If she didn't speak up, she would really anger Nangong Huaiyuan. She said reluctantly, "In the woods on the southern outskirts."

Upon hearing He Hua's words, Nangong Huaiyuan turned and left, ordering as he went, "Prepare the horses!"

Hiding in the shadows, Nangong Yufeng saw Nangong Huaiyuan rush out and then Hehua come out of the courtyard. He was a little confused, but soon he heard the two guards at the door say, "We're doomed. Miss Xia has escaped. When the prince returns, he will definitely punish us."

Hearing the guard's words, Nangong Yufeng was overjoyed and quickly returned to the outhouse. When he came out after changing his clothes, he saw the guard rushing towards the outhouse, with Shangguan Jingye pulling him back.

Both men were taken aback when they saw Nangong Yufeng. Shangguan Jingye was the first to react and said, "See, I told you my brother is still inside, but you didn't believe me."

The guard pulled his arm out of Shangguan Jingye's grasp, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, and said impatiently, "Your brother has been in the outhouse for far too long, it's been half an hour already. Alright, now that you're out, hurry up and go."

Nangong Yufeng and Shangguan Jingye exchanged a glance, and then followed the guards out of the palace.

Meanwhile, after getting into Hehua's carriage, Li Muxia remained vigilant. She looked at the maid sitting next to her and said, "Miss, you can just drop me off at the city gate. I'll walk the rest of the way myself."

The maid glanced at Li Muxia disdainfully and said, "That won't do. My princess specifically instructed me to send you outside the city."

Hearing the maid's words, Li Muxia understood what Hehua meant. She was afraid that Li Muxia's departure was fake and that she would go back to complain to Nangong Huaiyuan later. Thinking of this, she stopped worrying about where to go. Outside the city it was, she could just come back later.

After Li Muxia left the Prince Huai's residence, Feng Yuhan, who was hiding in the shadows, recognized her immediately. He was certain that she had the same eyes, so he followed the carriage out of the city.

Once they reached the woods on the outskirts of the city, Feng Yuhan sensed three people lying in ambush. He snorted coldly to himself, not taking the ambushers seriously. He was more interested in seeing what Princess Hehua was up to.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Muxia felt it stop. Lifting the curtain, she saw the carriage parked in a grove of trees. An idea involuntarily popped into her mind: This place is indeed very secluded, perfect for murder and robbery.
