However, everything was just Song Jingchen’s guess. They had come to the Xuanyuan Kingdom to save people and find medicine. As long as the Yu family didn’t provoke them again, they weren’t willing to have unnecessary conflicts with the large families of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, the sky was clear.
Ji Yunxi asked Shen Yijia to come to Phoenix Town, but she did not say what to do after she arrived.
It was impossible for Shen Yijia to let her lead the way. In any case, as long as they could find the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, their goal would be half achieved.
However, there were no clues at all. How could they find the location of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets so easily?
After breakfast, Song Jingchen sent South Wind and the others out to ask around and asked You Yi to try to contact his lord.
Before Xuanyuan Ce left, he said that he was going to look for the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. It had been almost April since he set off. There might be news from him.
As the highest ranked secret guards by his master’s side, they naturally had a special communication channel, so Song Jingchen didn’t ask around.
However, after five to six days, South Wind and the others did not find any useful clues. The letters You Yi sent out were all useless.
Since she couldn’t find him, they could only start with Ji Yunxi. However…
“We’ve been in Phoenix Town for so many days, but Ji Yunxi hasn’t appeared. Is she playing with me?” Shen Yijia scratched her head in frustration.
Song Jingchen comforted her. “Maybe they don’t know we’re here.”
Shen Yijia was stunned. That’s right! If she wanted to appear, she had to let her know that they were already here.
Hence, the group began to wander aimlessly outside.
Although Phoenix Town was only a border town in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, it was much livelier and richer than Anyang County, where Shen Yijia had stayed.
There was an endless stream of merchants coming and going on the streets. There were all kinds of strange things displayed in the stalls on the street, making Shen Yijia almost forget their true motive for coming out.
“Young Master Song, Madam Song?”
An incredulous voice sounded behind them.
The two of them turned around at the same time. When they saw the person who spoke, Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “Chu Feng, why are you here?”
She did not see Xuanyuan Ce beside him. She asked suspiciously, “Where’s your lord?”
In Shen Yijia’s impression, Chu Feng and Xuanyuan Ce had always been inseparable.
It could be said that wherever Xuanyuan Ce was, Chu Feng would also be there.
Chu Feng didn’t seem to expect it to be them. He was stunned for a long time before reacting. After reacting, he hurriedly said, “His Highness is injured. I came out to get medicine for him.”
He shook the medicine in his hand and glanced at MO Yuan, who was following at the side. He said happily, “It’s great to see you here. His Highness is saved.”
Only then did Shen Yijia notice that Chu Feng’s face was pale. She frowned. “Why is he injured again?”
The word “again” made Chu Feng feel extremely awkward. He said awkwardly,
“It’s a long story. Why don’t you follow me to see His Highness first?”
Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen. Seeing him nod, she said, “Alright then.”
Actually, in Great Xia, although Shen Yijia was not too close to Xuanyuan Ce, he had helped the couple many times, so her attitude towards him was quite good.
In the past, when she heard that the other party was injured, Shen Yijia would have suggested taking a look herself without needing Chu Feng to say anything, instead of looking at him with a little disdain.
Her attitude was clearly abnormal, but perhaps because Chu Feng was too worried about Xuanyuan Ce, he did not realize that something was wrong.
She followed Chu Feng out of the bustling city and arrived at a quiet courtyard.
“His Highness has been staying here recently,” he explained and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by an old man who could not move easily. Chu Feng greeted him and brought Shen Yijia and the others to Xuanyuan Ce’s room.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a strong medicinal smell wafted out.
Shen Yijia wrinkled her nose in discomfort. After everyone entered, she slowly followed.
This should be a temporary stopover. The room was very simple. There was only a square table in the middle, and a bed against the wall at the far end. There was nothing else.
When he approached, he saw Xuanyuan Ce lying there with his eyes closed. His lips were abnormally purple.
“He might have been poisoned.” Shen Yijia frowned.
She didn’t even dare to say it. At first glance, she thought that she was about to attend a funeral.
“Yes, he was poisoned. However, the doctors in this town can’t find out what poison it is,” Chu Feng said with a worried expression.
Shen Yijia looked at him strangely. “Since you don’t know what poison it is, why are you grabbing medicine?”
“Other than being poisoned, His Highness is also injured. I grabbed medicine for his external injuries.”
“Oh.” Shen Yijia nodded and gestured for MO Yuan to take a look at Xuanyuan Ce.
While she was taking his pulse, Chu Feng briefly explained the reason why Xuanyuan Ce was injured..
