Chapter 175 Future Daughter-in-law
Chapter 175 Future Daughter-in-law
Qin Hanmo and the king both knew clearly in their minds that the imperial teacher would definitely not agree to meet the prince from the southern country.
After all, since he left yesterday, there has been no news from the Imperial Master, and perhaps he is not even in the mansion at the moment. In this case, the visit of the Southern Prince may be in vain...
As expected, the facts were just as they had expected. When the prince of the Southern Kingdom arrived at the Imperial Master's residence, he was not able to see the Imperial Master himself as he had hoped.
However, he did not seem to care much about this matter. Instead, he took his entourage to tour the customs and culture of the capital.
On the other hand, Qin Hanmo has always been closely following the every move of the Southern Prince. Although he has official documents, he always feels that this Southern Prince is a little strange and suspicious. So he specially sent people to secretly follow and observe.
However, the whole day passed and the spies did not find anything unusual. After nightfall, the prince of the Southern Kingdom came to the residence of the national master again and expressed his wish to meet the national master. Unfortunately, the answer he received was still negative.
The imperial teacher had not been seen for two days in a row, and the king was a little confused. The wedding was the day after tomorrow, but why did she disappear?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was odd. He had no choice but to summon Prince Zhan and the great wizard Lingyang to the palace to interrogate them in the hope of getting to the bottom of the matter.
After arriving at the imperial study, the king stroked his beard and asked Prince Zhan:
"Prince Zhan, why did our master leave the palace this time? Did he discuss this with you before leaving?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I am not aware of this matter, and have not discussed it with the Imperial Master in advance." Qin Hanmo hurriedly bowed and replied.
The king frowned after hearing this, and continued to ask with a worried look on his face:
"The wedding day is approaching, but the Imperial Master is not in the palace. Could it be that he encountered some kind of accident or trouble outside?"
At this time, Master Lingyang, who was standing aside, stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Before leaving, the Imperial Master told me that he would be away for a few days to do some work. He also told me to take care of the things needed for the wedding. He will be back after he finishes his work."
The king sighed softly upon hearing this, and thought to himself that he knew a little about the temperament of the imperial teacher. He was afraid that he would only know what she was busy with after she came back.
"Since the national teacher is not here, how did the evil creature that appeared last night end up being dealt with?" The king wondered; the queen mother was still waiting for the national teacher to come to the king. This was the first time they met, and she would be his grandson's daughter-in-law in the future. As a king, he didn't want his daughter-in-law to have any conflicts with his mother.
Master Lingyang turned his head and looked at Qin Hanmo, his eyes flickering, as if he was a little hesitant. After a moment, he finally chose to remain silent and did not answer.
"It was the pockmarked woman who dealt with the evil spirit last night." Qin Hanmo replied.
"Oh?" The king's eyes widened and he asked, "Does that mean that the pockmarked girl is very powerful now, and she can even handle the evil spirits that you can't subdue?"
Qin Hanmo nodded in agreement.
The king frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something important. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"I never thought this pockmarked woman would be so capable... But that's OK, since she was able to subdue that evil thing, she must have some skills."
Qin Hanmo was thinking at this moment that there must be some connection between the Imperial Master and the pockmarked woman, otherwise why would she suddenly come to the Imperial Master's mansion to rescue him, and why did she find the antidote for him last time? All of these were related to the Imperial Master.
"Father, in my opinion, the reason why the National Master left the palace this time is most likely to deal with this evil thing. After we dealt with that woman yesterday, the National Master suddenly disappeared without a trace." Qin Hanmo said while staring at the king.
The king nodded, indicating his agreement with Qin Hanmo's opinion. Lingyang, who was standing beside him, said as if he had suddenly realized something:
"Yes! The Imperial Master has always acted decisively and vigorously. If this is true, then she will definitely try every possible way to achieve her goal and will never give up easily."
The king's expression became serious, and his voice revealed a hint of anxiety and worry:
"If that is the case, Prince Zhan, you must immediately set out to find the Imperial Master, so that my future daughter-in-law will not be in any danger. Time is of the essence, and there is no time to waste!"
Qin Hanmo's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but think of the thrilling scene in the illusion that day.
At that time, they were indeed in a desperate situation and could not get out. So he answered without hesitation:
"Yes, sir! I'll leave right away." After saying that, he turned and left.
