An Youyou’s face changed.
When truly worried and afraid, it’s impossible to hide it.
"I don’t know An Ji’s exact situation right now, nor the dical skills of Cang Kingdom..."
"I’ll go!" An Youyou said firmly.
Xiao Luming pressed his lips together.
He was actually hesitant about whether to let his own younger sister go to Cang Kingdom to help An Ji. He was well aware of An Youyou’s dical skills; having gained his mother’s true teachings, even though she’s only fifteen now, she’s already unmatched in Daxuan. Patients others can’t heal, Youyou might just bring them back from the brink of death.
But Cang Kingdom is in turmoil, so dangerous. If sothing were to happen...
"Brother, I’ll go see An Ji." An Youyou said again, trying to remain calm, "Rest assured, I will prioritize my own safety, I won’t act recklessly."
Xiao Luming was still sowhat hesitant in the end.
"Youyou, you mustn’t go." Anqi grabbed An Youyou’s hand, "Cang Kingdom is filled with war and dangers everywhere, going there would put yourself into a dire situation, I won’t allow it!"
"Sister Anqi, Father and Mother have traveled outside the palace for many years, I am not that delicate. Besides, you forget my constitution is different from yours, as long as it’s not a fatal injury, I can heal quickly..."
"Who can guarantee your injuries won’t be fatal?" Anqi was completely unwilling to let An Youyou go to Cang Kingdom.
An Youyou wanted to say more.
"Luming, we can’t let Youyou go to Cang Kingdom." Anqi directly said to Xiao Luming, with a sowhat strong attitude.
Xiao Luming was also having difficulty deciding.
The news said An Ji’s injuries were extrely serious, feared he wouldn’t live long without treatnt from a Divine Doctor, and his brotherhood with An Ji over these few years... He couldn’t bear to let An Ji die like that. But indeed, as Anqi said, from his own emotions, he was also unwilling for his younger sister to take such risks.
"I will now imdiately dispatch the best Imperial Physician to secretly go to Cang Kingdom. Youyou, see if there’s anything you can instruct the Imperial Physician on, and in an hour, set off for Cang Kingdom." Xiao Luming gave the order.
Ultimately, he decided not to let An Youyou go to such a dangerous place as Cang Kingdom.
An Youyou wanted to resist.
Anqi held her hand tightly, not letting her speak, not letting her leave.
An Youyou bit her lip, ultimately chose to remain silent.
Leaving Qiankun Hall.
Anqi worriedly followed An Youyou closely, "Sister, why are you always following ? I’m going to brief the Imperial Physician on so matters now."
"I’ll go with you." Anqi knew An Youyou’s personality very well.
Just afraid she might act recklessly in a mont of impulse.
An Youyou was helpless, once Anqi beca stubborn, she couldn’t refuse.
She could only et the Imperial Physician under Anqi’s supervision.
The Imperial Physician continuously recorded the matters An Youyou explained.
An Youyou said a lot, speaking quickly and urgently.
The Imperial Physician took notes, perspiring from his forehead.
Anqi saw An Youyou was seriously briefing the Imperial Physician on dical matters, so she relaxed a bit, sipping tea brewed by a Palace Attendant beside her.
As she drank.
Anqi felt sleepy, not knowing how many yawns she stifled, eventually drifting off to sleep on the soft couch.
An Youyou hurriedly had people help Anqi into the back hall, then said to the Imperial Physician, "Let write the remaining notes, you can go back to prepare your things, I’ll have soone send them to your residence."
"Yes, Princess." The Imperial Physician hurriedly left.
Once the Imperial Physician left, An Youyou quickly returned to her room to change into a eunuch’s outfit, wore a human skin mask, and took her Token, successfully leaving the palace.
After leaving the palace, she went to the Imperial Physician’s residence, disguised as her Palace Attendant, claiming to accompany the Imperial Physician to Cang Kingdom. The Imperial Physician didn’t suspect, knowing the Princess’ dical skills were excellent, perhaps her attendants also knew sothing.
After hurried preparations, they set off directly.
Anqi woke up in the evening.
She thought for a mont, then suddenly realized she had been outwitted by An Youyou.
She hurriedly got up to find An Youyou, but there was no trace of An Youyou in the entire palace, frightening Anqi, her face turned white, she quickly went to find Xiao Luming.
Xiao Luming didn’t expect An Youyou would just decide to leave on her own.
Even if he sends soone now, they can’t catch up.
"What do we do, Luming?" Anqi was panicking.
The thought of An Youyou going to such a dangerous place unsettled her.
"I’ll send several Inner Palace Experts to Cang Kingdom to protect Youyou." Xiao Luming decided on the spot.
"Can’t you directly bring Youyou back?"
"With Youyou’s personality, once she’s set her mind on going, we can’t stop her." Xiao Luming knew An Youyou’s character well, "We can only try to ensure her safety as much as possible."
Anqi was still worried.
"Don’t worry, Youyou is also very clever, she knows how to protect herself." Xiao Luming comforted Anqi, and himself.
Anqi had no choice but to nod, "Then hurry and send more people to be with Youyou."
"Alright."
Xiao Luming dispatched so personal guards to head to Cang Kingdom.
Anqi was still uneasy and prepared to leave.
"Anqi." Luming suddenly called her.
Anqi looked at Luming.
"I’ll escort you back to your chamber."
Anqi felt a slight flutter in her heart, pressed her lips together, and nodded.
They walked together within the palace.
Though they’ve lived in the palace for years, they actually haven’t spent much ti together, Luming was too busy.
Every day occupied with political affairs, hardly any spare ti.
Many tis, they only sat at the sa table during festivals and watched performances in the court.
Today’s situation seed like a first.
They walked quietly together.
Eventually reaching Anqi’s chamber.
"Luming, go back and rest early." Anqi smiled, saying goodbye.
But Xiao Luming didn’t leave imdiately.
He suddenly reached out, taking Anqi’s hand.
Anqi’s fingers twitched slightly.
Gently, she pushed it away.
Xiao Luming blushed a bit initially, now he felt a bit awkward.
His long, distinct fingers lowered.
"According to Daxuan’s customs, next year I can marry and establish a queen." Xiao Luming spoke bluntly.
There was noticeable panic in Anqi’s eyes.
"Then, I will marry you."
Anqi hadn’t expected Luming to suddenly say such words.
Over these years, Luming never discussed these matters, their exchanges were limited, although she could sense Luming’s feelings for her, she had been deceiving herself, never expecting to confront such a situation suddenly.
Xiao Luming hadn’t expected to receive a response from Anqi, in matters of love, won are reserved, his promise was sufficient.
He turned to leave.
"Luming." Anqi suddenly stopped him.
"Hmm?"
"I feel only a sibling bond with you." Anqi gathered her courage, finally speaking out.
There was a clear hint of shock in Xiao Luming’s eyes.
He hadn’t expected Anqi to refuse.
"Luming, I’m sorry." Anqi apologized.
As she spoke, finally letting go of the knot in her heart for years.
Xiao Luming watched Anqi closely.
His face noticeably stiffened.
"You like the Imperial Uncle, don’t you?" Xiao Luming asked rather forthrightly.
"Yes." Anqi admitted.
"But the Imperial Uncle is already married."
"I know, but..."
"Anqi, I admit over these years I’ve been present very little for you, and I can’t deny, the emperor gave the kingdom, and in my youth, I need to spend more ti and effort handling affairs, leaving no room for distractions. But I promise you, from now on, I’ll take more ti to accompany you."
