The unbearable memories of her childhood made Xia Sizhu seem even more fragile. She really wanted to find big brother Beitang right now, but she didn't know why, but she would always feel at ease when she saw him.

Xia Sizhu curled up for an entire night. It was almost dawn before she finally fell into a shallow sleep. Even if she slept, she would remain in a position without any sense of security.

Sha Xin stepped forward and gently lifted Xia Sizhu into the air. Then, she carefully carried her to the bed in the carriage and laid her back down on the bed. Then, she covered her with a quilt.

During the process, Xia Sizhu showed signs of waking up several times. Every time she woke up, Shaxin would act with caution.

He lit the sleeping incense to help Xia Sizhu relax so that she could fall asleep peacefully. Only after he confirmed that she was asleep did his heart relax.

After taking one last look at Xia Sizhu, Sha Xin got out of the carriage. When she saw Gu Xin's bloodshot eyes, she said, "You go and rest. I'll drive!" Sha Xin said to Gu Xin.

"Is Master asleep?" Gu Xin rubbed her bloated eyes and stood up to give up her seat. He didn't enter the carriage, but instead found a seat to lean on.

He was afraid that if he entered the carriage, he would disturb his master. Even though he was outside the carriage, he could feel the silent and fearful atmosphere within.

"Yes." Sha Xin said as she drove the carriage. There was a trace of heartache in her voice.

"I'll go to sleep for a while, we'll switch over later." Gu Xin was very tired after continuously driving the carriage, so he immediately closed his eyes.

Once again, the carriage fell into silence, leaving only the sound of Shahin's whip.

"Your Highness, it's bad! The wangfei has disappeared!" Before dawn, Dongfang Ye and Yan Aoxuan were still asleep when they were awakened by the anxious voice of the housekeeper.

"Your highness, your elder sister is gone. Do you need to send someone to find her?" Yan Ao Xuan leaned on Dong Fang Ye's body weakly, her face full of concern.

However, his eyes were staring at Dongfang Ye without blinking, not letting go of a single trace of his expression.

"No need. If she's gone, then she's gone. Let her be!" Dongfang Ye didn't show any expression, and said coldly.

A hint of joy flashed across Yan Aoxuan's eyes when she heard this. It seemed that the prince had really forgotten that Xia Sizhu had fallen in love with her. But now, Xia Sizhu had disappeared again.

From then on, the Night King's Manor was her personal world. Just thinking about it made her excited.

"Serve This King in a bath and change his clothes. This King has to go to court." Dongfang Ye said as he looked at the sky outside.

Yan Ao Xuan got up and put on her clothes, then helped Dong Fang Ye to bathe and change his clothes. After she saw that Dong Fang Ye had left Yan Ao Xuan, she called her wet nurse in to wash herself.

"Nanny, have you heard? That slut Xia Sizhu has left." Yan Ao Xuan's words were filled with joy and satisfaction, and her face was also full of arrogance and disdain.

"This old servant has heard that Miss wants to conceive a prince's flesh and blood. Once she does, her status will be much more stable. Even if Xia Sizhu comes back, it wouldn't matter!"

The wet nurse looked at the delighted Yan Ao Xuan, a smile hanging on her face.

"Nanny." Yan Aoxuan shyly glanced at her wet nurse as she spoke in an unpleasant tone. After which, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression returned to normal.

"I heard that the Prime Minister's palace still has Aunt Liu, but she wasn't killed because of her contributions. According to the servants, this Madame Liu was brought in by Xia Sizhu and has a good relationship with her. Let's go meet the old woman that Xia Sizhu brought back."

A trace of malice flashed in Yan Ao Xuan's eyes. If Xia Si Zhu was gone and she couldn't torture him, then she would torture those related to Xia Si Zhu.

They didn't have a backer to rely on since Xia Sizhu wasn't in the prefecture right now.

This way, not only could she relax, she could also vent her anger. She could also let Xia Sizhu block her heart and kill two birds with one stone.

"Yes." There was naturally nothing that the nurse disagreed with.

Yan Ao Xuan led her people to find Aunt Liu, but was defeated and left.

Because Xia Sizhu had already predicted that she would leave, Yan Aoxuan would vent her anger on Aunt Liu. That time when she had called for her to speak privately with her, it was to tell her about this matter.

Currently, Aunt Liu and Qing'er had already settled down in the courtyard Gu Xin had arranged for them. Yan Ao Xuan naturally couldn't find them.

"This subordinate was unable to find any trace of the wangfei." On the other side, Ling Feng trembled as he reported the news like Dongfang Ye.

"What's going on?" Dongfang Ye frowned. His men weren't so weak that they couldn't even be counted as people.

"Her whereabouts were deliberately concealed by someone, and we couldn't find her." Ling Feng lowered his head and said.

"Do you know who was stopping him?" Dongfang Ye's eyes suddenly became dark. Who was it that stopped him from finding A Zhu?

"Your subordinate couldn't find anything, but your subordinate has already eliminated the crown prince and the mysterious organization's people. Your subordinate guesses that it might be one of the people with the ancient intentions hiding Princess Consort's tracks."

Ling Feng told him everything he knew.

Dongfang Ye lowered his head and remained silent, deep in thought. Since he couldn't find anything, he might as well guess. But where would A Zhu go? Dongfang Ye's expression suddenly became deep.

Suddenly, Dongfang Ye's eyes lit up. He turned to Ling Feng and said, "Ling Feng, check the route back to the Mausoleum of Xi Ling Northern Tang. Once you find it, go with me to find Ah Zhu!"

Dongfang Ye suddenly remembered the scene of Xia Sizhu sending him off from the Western Tomb North Hall. People always wanted to find someone to comfort when they were injured.

A Zhu basically didn't have anyone to pour out his heart to. The only person who could be counted as one was the Western Tomb North Hall.

He felt that as long as he followed this route, he would be able to find Zhu.

"Yes." Hearing Dongfang Ye's words, Ling Feng instantly understood and immediately went down to check the route of the Western Tomb North Hall.

Very soon, Ling Feng found the route that the Western Tomb North Hall had taken. After hearing that, Dongfang Ye immediately left with Ling Feng to chase after Xia Sizhu.

Ah Zhu, just you wait. I'll come find you soon, Dongfang Ye thought as he rode the horse.

As the sky gradually darkened and Gu Xin woke up, the two exchanged words. Shaxin returned to the carriage to check on Xia Sizhu.

"Master Gu Xin is sick with fever!" He didn't know, but he was startled when he saw that Xia Sizhu was actually sick from the fever. Her cheeks were flushed red and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. Her brows were scrunched together as her entire body was boiling hot.

There were still some words in her mouth, but her voice was too soft, so Shaxin couldn't hear it clearly.

Hearing this, Gu Xin immediately stopped the carriage to check on Xia Sizhu's fever.

"Then what should we do? There's no one around here. " Gu Xin suddenly became anxious. In order to quickly catch up with the Western Tomb North Hall, they chose to take the small road. This road was desolate and uninhabited.

If he wanted to reach the place where there was smoke, he would need another night. Both he and Shaxin were quite skilled, and they had plenty of dry rations to eat. They had thought that taking the small path would be no problem.

Who knew that Xia Sizhu was actually suffering from a fever? What should he do? There were no herbs to cure the fever in the carriage!

"We can't go on like this. Let's find a place with water and spend the night there. I'll cool it down with cold water for our master." Wherever there is water, there should be flowers, herbs or the like. Let's go and see if there are any herbs that can reduce the fever to boil some medicine for our master. " Shaxin looked around and said.

"Alright." Gu Xin looked at Xia Sizhu. The situation wasn't looking too good. It was obvious that they couldn't continue on their journey under such circumstances. Otherwise, their master would be confused if they continued on their journey for another day.

Gu Xin and Sha Xin quickly found a place with water. They stretched out the fire and sprinkled some insect repellent powder on it. Shaxin started to cool Xia Sizhu with cold water while Gu Xin set off to find the herbs needed to cool off the fever.

Not long after Shasi was cooled down with cold water, Shaxin heard the cries of a tiger not too far away. Soon after, the sounds of fighting could be heard.
