Chapter 505 Double Loss
"Okay..., Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Just heal the wound on your head..." The skinny monkey was about to take out a handkerchief to cover the wound on Feng Ming's forehead.
"Go quickly..." Feng Ming didn't even have time to push the skinny monkey, and staggered towards the gate.
The skinny monkey had no choice but to turn around and run west to get the carriage.
Feng Ming had only run two steps when his vision went dark, his legs went weak, and he crashed into the pillar of the corridor. However, he was only concerned about not dropping the letter Yuan Qi left for him.
When I picked it up, I realized that his hand was also scratched.
He was afraid of staining the faintly fragrant handwriting on the letter, so he carefully folded it and put it in his arms, then continued to stagger towards the door.
The gate of Prince Yi's mansion was closed, but there was no one guarding the door. Now that Uncle Qiu was seriously ill and Li Fu was taking care of him, there was no proper gatekeeper anymore.
Feng Ming pushed the door open himself.
A blue nylon and silver gauze carriage was parked opposite the palace gate.
Feng Ming recognized him at the first sight, not to mention that He Xi, the chief steward of the Yuan family, was standing next to the carriage.
Hope was instantly rekindled.
Feng Ming rushed towards the carriage but was stopped by He Xi: "Where is Yuan Qi? Is she in the carriage?"
He Xi took a step back and bowed: "Your Highness Prince Yi, this is your head..."
Feng Ming ignored him and went up to lift the curtain of the carriage, but the carriage was empty, with no one in it.
He Xi could only shake his head behind him.
Feng Ming turned around and grabbed He Xi's shoulders: "Where is she? Where is she?..."
He Xi avoided Feng Ming's gaze and tried to slow down her tone: "Young Master said that the prince doesn't need to look for her. She doesn't want to hinder the prince's future, so she will say goodbye now without any regrets."
"What do you mean by parting ways like this? I want to go find her." Feng Ming's mind was blank now, but he had such a strong thought in his heart.
He Xi seemed reluctant: "According to my calculations, the young master has already left the city. The prince will not be able to find her."
"Where did she go?" Feng Ming still held on to He Xi.
He Xi had no intention of hiding it: "Young Master is going to Beiji, Your Highness won't be able to find her."
"Beiji, why go to Beiji?" Feng Ming felt confused and bewildered.
He Xi spoke slowly and it was unclear if he was stalling for time. "Although the Yuan family's ancestral home is in Danlu, Beijike can be considered as a second hometown. Because we have to take care of the business in both the south and the north, and also for transportation considerations, our boss has planned to gradually move the shipyard in the south to the north many years ago. Now that the cabin in the north is initially completed, the young master should help the boss to take care of it."
Feng Ming didn't listen to a word and just thought that these were all excuses.
However, Yuan Qi's departure was obviously planned and not just in one or two days, but he didn't notice it at all during this period of time.
"I'm going to find her." Feng Ming said the same thing.
He could not accept that Yuan Qi just left like that, and he couldn't believe that a person who was smiling and lively last night would suddenly disappear without saying goodbye this morning.
"Your Highness Prince Yi..." He Xi slowly broke free from Feng Ming and bowed solemnly, "Young Master has really left Jindu."
"I, I want to go to the Yuan family, you... By the way, where is Mr. Yuan?" Feng Ming's brain started to work again at this moment.
He Xi said in a sad voice, "Your Highness Prince Yi, the young master was afraid that Your Highness would go to look for her, so he insisted on going to Beiji. The master had no choice but to go after the young lady, and she should have left the city by now."
"No, it won't..." Feng Ming was a little at a loss. At this moment, Skinny Monkey also drove a carriage over from the west.
As soon as the skinny monkey saw the Yuan family's carriage, he stopped and was about to jump off.
Feng Ming turned around and ran over, shouting to the skinny monkey: "Quick, let's get out of the city and head north..."
He Xi came up to dissuade him: "Your Highness Prince Yi, Your Highness Prince Yi, Your Highness, please don't worry... Our young master said that Your Highness, please don't worry. Except for her leaving, all the exchanges between Prince Yi's Mansion and the Yuan family will not change."
"What do you mean everything will never change?" Feng Ming finally stopped, his disappointment instantly turning into grief and anger, "What does she think of me?"
"This... Please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty. The young master has no other intention..." He Xi's words were indeed not clear enough in his haste.
Feng Ming didn't want to listen anymore. He looked up at the sky, which was gray.
How can you say nothing has changed?
Everything has changed...
At this moment, Gao Yuan's figure flew out from the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, shouting: "Prince, Prince..."
Feng Ming had never heard Gao Yuan call him in such a sad voice.
Gao Yuan walked a few steps to Feng Ming and said, "My Lord, Uncle Qiu is gone..."
"What?" Feng Ming's world began to spin and buzz, and finally everything went black.
Finally, Zhou Chang’s eyes went dark and he fell down.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Highness..."
……
Zhou Chang regained consciousness the moment Feng Ming opened his eyes. As a bystander, she still couldn't get Prince Yi's body back, but she didn't care at this time.
Feng Ming felt someone helping him up from the ground. In front of him was Gao Yuan's anxious face. He asked again, "What happened to Uncle Qiu?"
Gao Yuan repeated: "Uncle Qiu passed away."
"Uncle Qiu, how..., when?" The skinny monkey supported Feng Ming and was also in disbelief. "I met Li Fu in the morning and was about to bring medicine to Uncle Qiu. Uncle Qiu was fine at that time..."
"An hour ago, Li Fu suddenly ran out and called people, saying that Uncle Qiu drank the medicine and vomited it out, and it looked like he was dying." Gao Yuan also shook his head as he spoke, "When Aunt Jing went to check on him, he was already not feeling well. Later, when Mr. Zhong went to check on him, he was already dead..."
Zhou Chang then vaguely realized that it was no wonder that there was such a big commotion on Prince Yi's side just now, but there was not a single person in the palace.
Gao Yuan continued, "Aunt Jing went back to look for the prince but couldn't find him. Then she learned from the servants that the prince had left the mansion. That's why she asked me to chase the prince out and told me that even if there was no way for us to see each other for the last time, at least let the prince take one last look at him."
"I, I..." Feng Ming was heartbroken. He was sitting in the snow and didn't feel the cold or warmth on his body. After hearing these words, he wanted to stand up in a daze, but he had no strength in his legs.
Shouhou and Gao Yuan quickly worked together to help Feng Ming up.
Feng Ming already knew in his mind that Uncle Qiu had passed away, but his heart was like covered by a thick fog and he couldn't understand it clearly, which made it even harder to accept.
I walked back step by step, as if if I just walked slower I wouldn't have to face that reality.
The skinny monkey looked at He Xi, then at the carriage still parked in front of the mansion. He smacked his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.
He Xi, like Zhou Chang, is now just a bystander.
Now I heard that someone died in Prince Yi’s mansion.
There is nothing more to say, the best thing to do is to leave quietly.
