Finally, it was decided that Bailijin, Mu Xuan, Jiang Xingsheng and Jiang Ye would take their respective guards and enter the back mountain under the leadership of Fenxiang.
The others went back to their rooms without staying any longer. In fact, it was just Jiang Wan.
Bailirou looked at the remaining people in front of her, sighed softly, and suggested: "Since you don't want to go back, you can come and sit in the courtyard so that you can wait for news about Qingyan."
"Okay!" Jiang Xingge is always the most positive one.
Mu Yun glanced at her, her eyes flashed slightly and she nodded.
If his father knew that Qingyan was missing...
Jiang Lan also went.
The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.
Since they all went to the back mountain, Bailiqi's trip to Lincheng was delayed.
He sat calmly in the room, but Jiuqi was very worried: "My lord, are you really not afraid that Mu Qingyan will betray you?"
"There is no witness, so I don't want to worry." No matter what, he is still a prince. How can a prostitute be able to bring him down? Mu Qingyan is Mu Sheng's granddaughter, and his father will not favor her.
After all, he is the legitimate royal bloodline, his biological son.
Even though Bailiqi said this, Jiuqi was still a little worried.
But behind Mu Qingyan, there is also the prince.
Soon, the news of Mu Qingyan's disappearance reached the ears of Master Jingkong. When he arrived, he only saw everyone returning empty-handed and dejected.
"Amitabha." Master Jingkong walked up to Bailijin and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Mu have their own destiny, and God has the virtue of good life. It's late at night, so please go back first. I will raise money again tomorrow morning."
The monks in the courtyard are looking for it together."
Mu Xuan's eyes dimmed and he raised his feet to continue looking. No matter what, he would not let his sister stay outside all night!
Master Jingkong stopped him and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please stay. The terrain in Linggu Mountain is complicated. I'm afraid Mu Qingyan has lost his way. Your Majesty, please rest for a night to recuperate your energy."
After listening, Mu Xuan said nothing and turned around and entered the courtyard.
Jiang Xingsheng looked at him worriedly, feeling uneasy and he also left.
Baili Jin's face was also very ugly, and he waved his hands a little irritably, "You all should leave too."
After saying this, the guards also retreated.
Watching everyone leave, Bai Lijin slowly turned around and stared at the empty space, and then asked: "Master, I want to listen to the truth. Will the emperor brother and Mu Qingyan be okay?"
Master Jingkong held the Buddhist beads and uttered four words: "It's more bad than good."
They were walking on the opposite side of Linggu Temple. No one had ever been there, and there were many wild animals and plants that were much more luxuriant than here.
What's more, Linggu Mountain is connected to other mountains, so it is inevitable to get lost in the deep mountains and old forests.
Baili Jin's face darkened, and he said, "I understand, thank you, Master." Then he walked into the courtyard with heavy steps.
At this time, the monk next to Master Jingkong couldn't help but worry, "Abbott, will the Holy One punish you?"
If something happens to both the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess, the Holy Emperor will definitely blame them.
"It's a disaster that cannot be avoided." Jingkong spoke calmly, his eyes flickering slightly. He already had the answer in his mind whether Mu Qingyan's disappearance was accidental or deliberate.
——
When Bailiyou opened his eyes again, he found that his arms were warm and his arms were numb.
He looked down and saw Mu Qingyan lying quietly in his arms, still covered with her cloak.
Looking around again, his consciousness finally returned to his cage. He seemed to have fainted when he fell.
Thinking of this, he stood up slowly with his uninjured left hand and looked around. It seemed that he had reached the bottom.
His eyes fell on Mu Qingyan, and after checking, he found that there were no major problems with her except that her skirt was a little torn and there were some scratches on her hands.
Because of his action, Mu Qingyan woke up. She opened her eyes drowsily, and suddenly woke up when she saw him. She stepped back and said with joy, "You're awake."
After saying that, he quickly reached out to help him with his hands. At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the surrounding area.
Bailiyou saw her scratched palm, gently picked up her wrist with his left hand, put it in front of his eyes and frowned.
Mu Qingyan was slightly embarrassed, "It's okay, it's just a scratch." Compared to his injury, this was really nothing. It looked serious just because she was pampered and had delicate skin.
"Put this on. You are very weak now. Do you have any pain besides your arms?" Mu Qingyan picked up the cloak behind her and wrapped it around him, then asked anxiously, wanting to touch him but not daring to.
What to do if there are internal injuries.
Bailiyou smiled softly, "Yes."
"Where?" Mu Qingyan tensed up and looked at him nervously.
Then I heard the man's joking voice: "It hurts."
…
She was stunned for a moment, and when she heard his laughter, she quickly realized that it was teasing. She felt a little angry and subconsciously hit him in the chest.
How long had it been since he was still joking with her? He was almost dead!
After being hit by her like this, Bailiyou grunted, which scared Mu Qingyan's blood pressure so much, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After I said that, I just wanted to see his injuries. Is he really suffering from internal injuries after falling?"
It’s not impossible!
Bailiyou grabbed her rebellious little hand and said in a weak tone: "Stop hitting her. If you hit her again, your husband will be gone."
Mu Qingyan was stunned, frightened by the word "husband", and was about to say something when she heard his suppressed cough.
Suddenly the whole person panicked and quickly supported him, "Bailiyou!"
His voice was full of anxiety, "Did you get injured? You fool, you actually made your own meat pad. Do you think you are a god?" He was already injured, and he fell from such a high place.
Mu Qingyan knew that she shouldn't blame him now, after all, he was doing it for her, but she was still very angry.
Bailiyou suppressed his cough, took her hand and brought him into his arms. For fear of crushing him, Mu Qingyan just leaned on her gently and did not dare to put all her weight on her.
The two sat on the ground and cuddled up, while lightning flashed across the sky like daylight.
"We have to get out of here, it's going to rain." Bailiyou said softly, he didn't want both of them to get soaked in the rain later.
Mu Qingyan was a little worried. She stood up and looked at his face, "Can you leave now?" What she was afraid of was that he would break his bones while protecting her.
"Yes." The man's tone was very firm, and he stood up slowly as he spoke.
Mu Qingyan walked to his left and let his left hand rest on her body. Although Bailiyou tried hard not to let the weight fall on her, there was still some strength.
With the light from the lightning, he pointed in a certain direction and pointed with his hand, "Go over there." There should be a cave here."
"Okay, walk slowly." Mu Qingyan said.
She is taller than ordinary women, but she looks very petite in front of Bailiyou.
Because they were afraid that excessive movements would affect his injuries, the two of them walked slowly.
