945 Consort Mei (2)

Luo Tan asked, “Not even Prince Rui?”

Shen Miao nodded.

Luo Tan said, “Got it.” She then said to Shen Miao, “Rest for a while. We’ll be back in Long Ye tomorrow. You were busy all night last night and didn’t rest at all. You look extremely haggard. Even if you want to hide it, people will still notice something by looking at your face.”

Shen Miao nodded and leaned against the back of the carriage before closing her eyes. She was indeed tired and on the verge of collapse. There was no need to hang in there. She fell asleep almost immediately after closing her eyes even when the road was bumpy.

!!

That night, she slept very quickly. It seemed that she did not sleep for long before she was woken up by someone. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ba Jiao looking at her and saying, “Madam, Miss Luo, we’re back.”

The two of them jumped out of the carriage. It was already the next morning, and the sun was already high in the sky. Shen Miao rubbed her forehead. When she saw that the door of Prince Rui’s mansion was unguarded, her heart skipped a beat.

Prince Rui’s mansion had always been heavily guarded, and the guards were mobilized from the Black Feather Army, but at this moment, there was no one. Could it be that… something had happened?

When Luo Tan saw it, she had a bad feeling, but she was afraid of making Shen Miao worry, so she did not say a word. Mo Qing said, “Madam, let’s go in and take a look first.”

Cong Yang and the others were all Xie Jingxing’s subordinates, so they were naturally worried. When they entered, they saw that it was also empty inside. They became more and more uneasy. Shen Miao walked in a hurry and almost bumped into someone.

This person was Uncle Tang.

Uncle Tang looked very disheveled and was no longer as high-spirited as before. Shen Miao hurriedly asked, “What happened? Why is there no one in the mansion?”

“Madam, why did it take you so long to come back? For some reason, the news that Master’s life is on the line was leaked. Over the past few days, many people have been probing openly and secretly. The mansion is simply in a mess. Madam Ji came to ask about your whereabouts a few times, and the emperor…”

Luo Tan said, “Little Cousin is also busy helping Brother-in-law find that expert. Speaking of which, we’ve already…”

“By the way!” Uncle Tang slapped his head. “I forgot to tell you good news. Master is awake!”

Shen Miao and Luo Tan were stunned. Shen Miao asked, “He is awake?”

“That’s right!” Uncle Tang said, “On the night you left, his wound suddenly burst open, and the poison couldn’t be controlled. The imperial physicians in the palace said that the Guiyuan Pills can no longer keep Master alive. They called Young Master Gao over, but Young Master Gao was also helpless. He said that in less than two days, Master would die.” Uncle Tang’s words made Luo Tan anxious. Luo Tan was an impatient person and couldn’t help but ask, “Then what happened?”

“Then, the news spread that Master was about to die. For some reason, it spread throughout the streets. Madam Ji was anxious. Seeing that everyone in Long Ye was going to know about it anyway, she put up posts on the streets, saying that if anyone could save Master, they would be rewarded very handsomely. Soon after that, someone came and gave us a herb. Young Master Gao refined the herb into a pill and gave it to Master. Master’s wound gradually healed, and he even woke up once this morning. Young Master Gao and the imperial physicians have checked Master. His injuries are gradually recovering and the poison has been removed.”
