The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1482 - 1566: Day and Night on the Road

Chapter 1482: Chapter 1566: Day and Night on the Road
The next day Dong Huiying once again sent a letter to the Capital, estimating that it would take about half a month for these two letters to reach Yun Ge and the others. The Eighth Princess, traveling incognito to search for the Imperial Jade Seal, appeared in Nanling City. It was very possible that the Imperial Jade Seal was in this place. She had heard that the Imperial Jade Seal had always been in the hands of Her Majesty the Empress. However, with Her Majesty in a coma and a Hidden Guard present, there were rumors that someone in the palace was impersonating the Empress, but the real Empress had long been relocated by the Eighth Princess.
Could it be that she was relocated to Nanling City?
Prince Meng and Ji Jiuhuang in the Capital were restrained and dared not act recklessly because they were concerned about the Empress. If they could find the Empress, the two of them would no longer need to hold back and could face off against the Eighth Princess directly.
She wrote all her speculations in the letter and secretly enlisted a few small beggars to help keep an eye on the Zhu family, not requiring them to do much but just to keep watch.
Two days later.
Dong Huiying was preparing for the culinary competition against Zhu De, when she unintentionally overheard a conversation between the shopkeeper and Sister Yang.
On this day, the shopkeeper was chatting with Sister Yang when he mentioned, "It’s quite the coincidence, Third Master has arrived! I just saw Third Master the day I came to Nanling, and it seems Third Master is looking for someone. We must handle Zhu De’s matter well, lest Third Master find out and think we’re ineffective."
"What did you say!?"
In unison!
The voices came from Sister Yang and Dong Huiying. It wasn’t surprising for Sister Yang to seem so astonished, as Third Master was a busy and important figure rarely seen in inspections. But for Dong Huiying, why was she equally shocked?
Dong Huiying took a light breath, her mind in a jumble, but in this crucial moment, after misspeaking, she laughed sheepishly and said, "I’ve heard that the owner of our Huizi Store is a good person. I heard that during a previous earthquake, our owner contributed a lot. I admire him greatly, shopkeeper, please don’t mind my earlier abruptness."
The shopkeeper was momentarily stunned, then laughed and said, "Indeed, our owner is a good person and has done many acts of kindness."
Appearing gossip-hungry, Dong Huiying continued to inquire, and the shopkeeper, not suspecting anything and considering it not confidential, shared it as casual talk.
Dong Huiying was deeply conflicted.
Shujun has arrived?
Shujun actually came!
She hadn’t been without suspicions, especially since she had seen the counterfeit Yixuan before. But only the real Shujun could wield the Blood Phoenix Hui Order and command the Huizi Store?
The day Shujun arrived was precisely the day she set out for Nanling?
Heavens!
She slapped her forehead, feeling utterly exasperated.
"Shopkeeper, how many days are left until the competition with Zhu De?"
The shopkeeper looked at Sister Yang, who replied, "Seven days."
Dong Huiying calculated on her fingers, noting that the journey by carriage took five or six days, but on horseback, it would be much faster. Seven days, although tight, would be sufficient for a round trip if traveling day and night!
"Shopkeeper, I’ll prepare first for these seven days. This is important, so I’ll go into seclusion to study. I’ll return in seven days!"
After dropping this remark, she hurried out, leaving the shopkeeper and Sister Yang staring at each other in bewilderment.
Dong Huiying bought a horse and immediately set out to return.
Shujun, Shujun!
She remembered that despicable person who had created the counterfeit Yixuan, and she had seen the counterfeit Shujun and counterfeit Haoming from a distance at the Furai Inn. That scoundrel knew her man.
If Shujun showed up and came across that villain...
It was fine if she didn’t think about it, but the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became!
