Chapter 263 The Lost Manor
Chapter 263 The Lost Manor
Mu Sixiu was extremely worried. He stepped forward and said with concern, "My Lord, how are you injured? These days, I have searched thousands of miles around but couldn't find you."
Qin Hanmo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly and replied calmly, "It's okay, nothing serious."
At this moment, Mu Sixiu had no doubts about the identity of this prince. After all, in his current condition, it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
"Prince, are we going back to the palace now?" Mu Sixiu asked softly, revealing a hint of concern in his tone. His eyes fell on the pale, weak man in front of him - it was their extremely noble Prince Qin Hanmo.
Qin Hanmo frowned slightly and said slowly: "My injuries are too severe now, and I can't bear the pain of a long journey. The environment here is quiet and peaceful, which is just right for me to recuperate here." After saying this, he sighed softly, as if there were still many things in his heart that he couldn't let go.
Then, Qin Hanmo seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Then... is Miss Hua okay?" His words revealed his concern and worry for Miss Hua.
Hearing this question, Mu Sixiu couldn't help but feel helpless and annoyed. He muttered to himself: My Lord, you are seriously injured and need to recuperate, why are you still thinking about that woman! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be in this trouble, but on the surface, he still answered respectfully:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Miss Hua is fine and nothing serious is wrong. You don't need to worry too much about this matter."
"As long as she is safe." Qin Hanmo said as he let out a sigh of relief, seeming to be much more relieved.
Mu Sixiu knew very well that Hua Yuer had been severely beaten by the pockmarked woman a few days ago, but under the circumstances at this moment, he certainly could not mention this matter to the prince, otherwise it was hard to imagine what kind of stupid thing his own prince would do.
At the same time, Mu Sixiu didn't have the courage to tell Prince Zhan that he had stolen the imperial seal, and he had never thought of handing the imperial seal to that woman. However, the most important issue at the moment was that he had to find a way to bring the prince back to Prince Zhan's mansion safely.
……
In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into the room. Fanghua got up early, her heart full of expectation and anxiety - today she was going to find Mu Sixiu. However, when she looked around, she didn't even see half of Mu Sixiu's figure.
She asked everyone in the mansion, but no one knew where he was. Fanghua felt lost and helpless: her senior brother had disappeared so mysteriously! But since her senior brother was not there, she decided to go alone and bring back those who had joined the party.
So Fanghua secretly gathered a group of strong men and quietly left the capital. Along the way, she tightly grasped the map she had drawn herself, which recorded the location and route of the destination in detail.
As night fell, the sky gradually became shrouded in darkness. Although she had been walking for a whole day, Fanghua still hadn't found her destination. She couldn't help but wonder: the map was accurate, so why did the manor suddenly disappear without a trace?
She stopped and stared at the map in her hand, trying to find out where the problem might be. After thinking it over, she decided to check the surrounding environment again. Perhaps due to some reasons, such as terrain changes, human destruction or other unknown factors, the manor that should have existed disappeared.
Faced with difficulties, Fanghua was not discouraged, but became more determined to find the answer. She believed that as long as she persisted, there would always be clues. With this persistence, she continued to move forward, exploring the road ahead in the dark night. Although the guards were exhausted, they still followed Fanghua as always...
"Commander, I noticed that we have been wandering in this forest all the time." asked a guard.
"It's really strange. This was clearly the road we took when we came here that day, but why can't we find it now? Could the manor be lost?" Fanghua was also confused.
"Then should we continue searching? I think it's safe here, why don't we set up camp here and continue searching tomorrow?" suggested the guard.
Fanghua sighed. She had never encountered such a thing before. It would have been great if her senior brother was here.
"Okay, let's rest here for a night."
……
"Ouch..."
At this moment, a wolf howled from deep in the woods...
