Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 346 There is hope

Feng Shengyi followed Murong Linzhi closely, crossed a small path, and came to one of the houses in the backyard of Baicaotang.

Before I got close, I heard faint crying sounds coming from the house. The crying was intermittent, like sobbing and complaining, which made people feel pity.

Murong Linzhi gently raised her hand, knocked on the door, and deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Shijian, are you available at this moment?" As soon as she finished speaking, the continuous crying in the room suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled her throat in an instant.

After a while, a slightly choked female voice was heard: "It's convenient, Miss Murong, please come in." After getting the consent, Murong Linzhi slowly opened the door and walked in carefully, followed closely by Feng Shengyi.

Upon entering the house, they saw the four women inside—the usually calm and composed Shi Jian and Zhi Shu, and the usually lively and quirky Si Jian and Shi Li—all looking listless and wilted, like frost-bitten eggplants. Their dejected appearance was truly pitiful. Furthermore, each of them had red eyes, clearly having just wept bitterly.

When Shi Jian saw Feng Shengyi coming with Murong Linzhi, she hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Sir Feng, have the princess and the princess been found?" As she said this, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her body trembled slightly, showing her extreme inner anxiety and worry.

Feng Shengyi looked at Shi Jian with a reluctant heart, but still shook his head and said, "Not yet..."

The others were about to burst into tears when they heard this. Feng Shengyi quickly said, "But don't worry, the princess and the princess will be fine for a while."

Seeing Feng Shengyi's confident words, several people looked at him suspiciously. Murong Linzhi knew that Feng Shengyi was probably going to tell them some specifics. Since she was not from the court or the royal family, it was better not to listen.

So Murong Linzhi said, "You guys chat first. I have a patient ahead of me, so I'll go take care of him first."

Feng Shengyi nodded and said, "Yes, please go ahead, Miss Murong."

Murong Linzhi slowly left the room and closed the door.

Inside the room, Si Jian, who was always impatient, saw Feng Shengyi didn't speak immediately, so he hurried forward and asked, "Master Feng, why are you so sure that the princess and the princess are okay?"

Feng Shengyi then told everyone about Li Chu and Dugu Xin's speculations.

Upon hearing this, although they did not understand political affairs, they knew that Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were bargaining chips of the gang of thieves. If they wanted Dugu Xin to send troops to help, they had to ensure the safety of the two.

If the two died or were injured, it would be equivalent to breaking off relations with the Yunnan Palace, and they would definitely be facing a powerful enemy, so the two were safe for the time being.

Now, the hearts that had been hanging in their chests finally relaxed a little, but before they found the people, they were still angry that they had lost Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue...

Feng Shengyi recalled what Murong Linzhi had just said and turned to ask Shi Jian, "Shi Jian, Miss Murong just said that she had made a sachet for the princess. I wonder if the princess wears it?"

Shi Jian remembered that their princess did seem to be wearing the sachet that Miss Murong had given her this morning, so he nodded rapidly, "I remember the princess was wearing that sachet today. Why are you asking this?"

Feng Shengyi was delighted when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, it might be easier to find the princess. I'll go talk to Miss Murong right away. Maybe she can help find the princess and the princess!"

Hearing Feng Shengyi say this, the others were all delighted. Shi Jian said, "Master Feng, I will go with you..."

The remaining three people rushed to say: "I want to go too, I want to go too!"

Shi Jian was the calmest among them. She said, "I will go with Lord Feng. You wait here. I will be back soon."

Although they really wanted to go, they thought about it and realized that there was nothing they could do now, so they nodded and decided to wait here.

Feng Shengyi and Shi Jian rushed to the front hall of Baicaotang like a gust of wind. Murong Linzhi was currently treating a patient. After he finished treating the patient, Murong Linzhi called Bai Zhu over and told him to stop calling out patients for the time being. He would be back soon.

Murong Linzhi took the two of them to another clinic and asked, "But is there anything I can help with?"

Feng Shengyi nodded and said, "Of course she does. I just asked Shi Jian, and she said that the princess has been wearing the sachet you gave her these past few days."

Murong Linzhi was also surprised when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, wait a moment. I'll go get some samples that may help you find Jingyao and Jingyue."

Murong Linzhi left the clinic and returned in a hurry after about a quarter of an hour, saying, "Master Feng, Miss Shijian, this box contains a scent-chasing butterfly. It can track the scent in the sachet I made. I hope it can help you."

After receiving this, Feng Shengyi said, "Thank you, Miss Murong. Shijian, go back and tell the other girls not to worry. If you recover, you can stay in Baicaotang for a while, or return to the Yunnan Palace first. I need to go to the palace to look for my prince first."

Shi Jian thought what he said made sense. It would be better for them to wait for news here or go back to the palace. So they parted ways after leaving the clinic.

Coincidentally, when Feng Shengyi was going out, he met Dugu Moyan who was coming in.

Dugu Moyan stopped Feng Shengyi when he saw him and asked, "Guard Feng, have you met Shi Jian and the others? Are they okay?"

Although Feng Shengyi was anxious to enter the palace, he was the princess's brother after all, so he replied respectfully: "Your Highness, they have recovered. I need to go to the palace now to report some information to His Highness. Your Highness can go in and see Shi Jian and the others."

Dugu Moyan saw that Feng Shengyi was indeed in a hurry, so he did not stop him and walked straight into Baicaotang. Murong Linzhi was just about to go back to see the patient when he saw Dugu Moyan.

So he stepped forward and asked, "Prince, are you here to look for some girls?"

Dugu Moyan nodded and said, "Yes, could you please, Miss Murong, lead the way?"

Murong Linzhi looked around and saw that there were still many patients who had not been seen, so he called Bai Shu and said, "Bai Shu, take the prince to the backyard to find a few girls."

Bai Zhuying took Dugu Moyan to the house in the backyard.

Bai Zhu knocked on the door, and Shi Jian asked, "Who is it?"

Before Bai Zhu could speak, Dugu Moyan spoke first, "Shi Jian, it's my prince."

Hearing this, the people in the inner room looked at each other and hurriedly opened the door. Bai Zhu saw that his mission was completed, so he said, "There are still many patients in the front hall, so I will go help them first."

Dugu Moyan nodded in agreement.

Shi Jian gestured to Dugu Moyan to invite him in. As the two entered the room, Shi Jian gently closed the door. The four girls knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, it's all our fault for not taking good care of the Princess and the County Lady. We lost them. Please punish us!"

But Dugu Moyan didn't really blame them. After all, the enemy came prepared, and they were caught off guard. So he said gently, "Get up. This can't be entirely your fault. If you have to blame someone, blame the enemy for being too cunning."

Several of them had been with Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Jingyue for many years, and naturally, like them, they had straightforward personalities. So, they kowtowed again to express their gratitude and then stood up together.

Dugu Moyan asked again: "Have you seen each other's appearance? Even a little bit..."

Several people shook their heads, and Shi Jian said, "My Lord, because the princess and the county lord were standing relatively close to the front, we only saw their backs. Just as we were about to catch up, they were knocked unconscious... So..."

Dugu Moyan had also expected this to be the result. Otherwise, even if no one said anything, Shi Jian and Si Jian were both good at martial arts, so they should have taken some action no matter what.

However, Shi Jian still told Dugu Moyan what had just happened, and added: "By the way, Prince, Lord Feng has just gone to the palace to report this matter. I believe that with reinforcements and Zhui Xiangdie to search for the scent sachet, we should be able to find the princess and the county lord."

Dugu Moyan was delighted after hearing this: "That is to say, Yao'er is wearing the sachet given to her by Miss Murong, and she gave the Fragrance Chasing Butterfly to Feng Shengyi. Yao'er and Yue'er will be saved soon!"

Shi Jian nodded. Dugu Moyan said, "Okay! I'll go back and tell my father the good news." As he was about to leave, he turned and said, "You should also return home with me. Don't worry, my father won't punish you."

The few of them looked at each other and finally nodded. Shi Jian said, "Then I'll ask Miss Murong if we can leave. If so, we'll go back with you."

Dugu Moyan thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he asked Shi Jian to go.

Not long after, Shi Jian returned and said, "My Lord, Miss Murong said that we are all well now and can return home."

Dugu Moyan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back home and tell father the good news."

Several people agreed and followed Dugu Moyan out of Baicaotang and headed towards the Yunnan Palace.
