No one knew where Yu Xing had gone.
"She hasn't been seen since tonight," Ding Chen, who was closer to Yu Xing, also didn't know her whereabouts.
Leng Ji couldn't wait any longer and began to delegate tasks.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on Chu Minghao and Lan Fan."
Jing Ri bowed and left.
Although Lan Fan was very powerful, fortunately, he had been injured by the Prince and Princess in the past two days. His internal injuries had not yet healed, so he could not use his illusionary techniques for the time being.
However, Lan Fan was cunning, and Jing Ri dared not be careless.
"I'll monitor the movements of the guards at Prince Yu's mansion. Once there's any disturbance, I'll send a signal, and Jing Ri will capture Chu Minghao."
"That's a good idea!" Leng Ji looked at Wang Yue and smiled, "Thank goodness you thought of it."
Wang Yue said nothing, bowed, and left.
"Ding Chen, tonight the Prince and Princess are treating patients. We don't know what will happen in the critical care area. You..."
"I'll watch the villagers." Before Leng Ji could finish, Ding Chen bowed and said, "The villagers are my responsibility. I will definitely not let them escape in the chaos, nor will I cause large-scale casualties."
He couldn't guarantee there would be no casualties. If too many villagers escaped, some would inevitably get hurt.
However, "I'm afraid there will be changes in the critical care area. If there are really... really any accidents..."
Leng Ji understood that the accident Ding Chen was referring to was a "mass death" situation.
After all, the patients there were in a very bad state.
They were vomiting and having diarrhea, and many were unconscious. They looked like they were not going to make it.
Any accident could happen, and preparations had to be made.
"If there are mass casualties in the critical care area, we will... we will protect the Princess and the Prince first."
This was the last and worst-case scenario.
No matter what, they had to ensure the Prince and Princess could leave alive. Although, he knew very well that Chu Qianli would not abandon the patients and leave herself.
If Miss Chu didn't leave, the Prince... if it were the old Prince, he would absolutely not leave Miss Chu behind.
Now... he didn't know.
"In any case, this is our last resort."
"Alright." Ding Chen glanced at him and was about to leave.
After taking a few steps, Leng Ji chased after him and whispered, "Send someone to look for Yu Xing. She wouldn't disappear for no reason."
"I know." Ding Chen nodded and truly left this time.
Leng Ji immediately gathered the guards from the Northern Underworld Xuan Prince's mansion and continued to guard the critical care area.
It was not yet dawn.
The sky also seemed to be on the verge of dawn.
Less than an hour remained.
What would happen in the critical care area?
Leng Ji was worried, and Xi Jiu was also guarding cautiously.
Tonight, everyone was trapped in a sleepless predicament.
In the room of a distant small courtyard, Feng Xi returned under the cover of night and handed a bottle of medicine to Feng Ling.
"Is this the blood of the Heavenly Silkworm?" Feng Ling's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Feng Xi, still dusty, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "The medicine bottle is specially made. Do not open it before use."
"Once opened, the blood inside must be used within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, otherwise, it will lose its efficacy."
"Is there only one bottle?" Feng Ling was a little worried.
Feng Ye Xuan had excellent vigilance. Although he had no defenses against her now, it was not guaranteed that she could succeed in one attempt.
Feng Xi glared at her, displeased, "Do you think Heavenly Silkworms are easy to raise? You must not fail this time!"
