Chapter 1355: Chapter 1354: Once, Must Not Fail

Nobody knows where Yuxing has gone.

"Haven’t seen her since tonight." Ding Chen, who was relatively close to Yuxing, also had no clue regarding her whereabouts.

Leng Ji couldn’t wait and began delegating tasks.

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Chu Minghao and Lan Fan."

Jingri cupped his hands and left.

Though Lan Fan is quite formidable, fortunately, over the past two days, he sustained injuries inflicted by the Prince and the Princess. His internal wounds haven’t healed, so he can’t use his Illusion Technique for now.

Still, Lan Fan’s craftiness keeps Jingri on edge, unable to lower his guard.

"I’ll monitor the movements of the guards at the Prince Residence. If there’s any unusual activity, I’ll signal, and Jingri will capture Chu Minghao."

"That’s a good plan!" Leng Ji glanced at Wangyue, smiling as he said, "It’s fortunate you thought of it."

Wangyue said nothing, simply cupped his hands, and left as well.

"Ding Chen, tonight the Prince and the Princess are treating patients. It’s uncertain what might transpire in the critical care area. You..."

"I’ll watch over the villagers." Before Leng Ji could finish, Ding Chen had already cupped his hands and replied, "Leave the villagers to me. I won’t let them escape amidst the chaos, nor allow widespread casualties."

He couldn’t promise there’d be no casualties at all. If too many villagers tried to flee, it was inevitable that some might get hurt.

However... "I’m just worried that something might go wrong in the critical care area. If... if something really unexpected happens..."

Leng Ji understood. The "unexpected" Ding Chen referred to was the possibility of "mass deaths."

After all, the patients there were indeed in extremely poor condition.

Vomiting, diarrhea, with many unconscious and unresponsive... their prospects didn’t look good.

Any disaster could occur, so they had to be prepared for everything.

"If mass casualties really occur in the critical care area, then... we prioritize saving the Princess and the Prince."

This was the final and worst contingency plan.

No matter what, ensuring the Prince and Princess’s survival came first, even though Leng Ji knew deep down that Chu Qianli would never abandon the patients and leave.

If Chu Qianli refused to go, the Prince... If this were the Prince of the past, he’d never leave Chu Qianli behind.

But now... it’s uncertain.

"In any case, this is our last resort."

"Understood." Ding Chen glanced at him and turned to leave.

After taking just two steps, Leng Ji chased after him and whispered, "Send someone to search for Yuxing. He wouldn’t just vanish without reason."

"Got it." Ding Chen nodded before finally departing for real.

Leng Ji immediately gathered guards from Beiming’s Prince Residence to continue fortifying the critical care area.

Dawn hadn’t arrived yet.

But it seemed as though dawn was near.

Less than two hours remained.

What exactly would happen in the critical care area?

Leng Ji was deeply troubled, and Xi Jiu was cautiously standing guard.

Tonight, none of them could escape the grips of sleeplessness.

Inside the small courtyard house in the distance, Feng Xi returned under the cover of darkness and handed a bottle of medicine to Fen Ling.

"Is this the blood expelled by the Heavenly Silkworm?" Fen Ling’s eyes lit up instantly.

"That’s right." Feng Xi, still visibly weary and covered in dust, wiped her sweat before explaining, "The bottle is specially crafted—don’t open it unless absolutely necessary."

"Once opened, the blood inside must be used within the time of one incense stick burning; otherwise, it loses its efficacy."

"Is there only one bottle?" Fen Ling asked with a trace of concern.

Feng Yexuan is highly alert. Though he currently harbors no suspicions toward her, it doesn’t ensure she’ll succeed in a single attempt.

Feng Xi glared at her with irritation and said, "Do you think the Heavenly Silkworm is so easy to cultivate? You have one chance—you mustn’t fail!"
