Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 905 - 57: Crisis Approaching

"You!" Hu Sheng jumped in fright and attempted to close the door.

Outside the door, it wasn’t Yun Sheng and her companions, but Qing Meng, who had almost bid on Hu Sheng at the Beidou Auction earlier.

Although Hu Sheng had only seen Qing Meng once, she remembered his lecherous face with clarity.

Qing Meng slammed the door open.

Seeing Hu Sheng’s trembling, terrified face like a frightened young beast, Qing Meng knew he had found the right person this time.

"Ha ha, made me follow for days, finally found you, little beauty. Someone, take her back to the Qing Residence."

Since the azalea banquet, after his wife’s death, **** Qing Meng couldn’t sleep through the nights.

He was determined to find Yun Sheng’s weakness.

Unfortunately, Yun Sheng was very cautious, often shaking off followers when going out, but today Qing Meng’s luck was good.

He had stumbled upon Donghuang Lingling halfway.

Using Donghuang Lingling as a lead, he found this courtyard.

Only when Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had left, did Qing Meng seize the opportunity after guarding outside for an hour to barge in.

After capturing Hu Sheng, Qing Meng immediately contacted his sister Qing Qiang.

Upon receiving the message, Qing Qiang rushed to the Qing Residence, and seeing Hu Sheng, who looked identical to Yun Sheng, Qing Qiang was equally shocked.

"Sister, no need to look further, this face is real, exactly like that woman from the Crown Prince Mansion. And the figure is the same too," Qing Meng said, swallowing hard.

If it weren’t for considering that his sister needed to question her, he would’ve already claimed Hu Sheng.

That Donghuang Sheng, causing his wife’s death, mocked by the officials in the court, he must have revenge.

"Who are you? What’s your relationship with Donghuang Sheng?" Qing Qiang grasped Hu Sheng’s chin, forcing her to look at her.

This woman, although resembling Donghuang Sheng, appeared much weaker in aura.

Qing Qiang was certain there was a connection between this woman and Donghuang Sheng.

Hu Sheng clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Although she didn’t know who this ferocious woman was, she knew she and that disgusting man were of the same ilk, surely with no good intentions.

Qing Qiang slapped her, sending Hu Sheng sprawling like a rag doll.

She staggered to her feet, using a bone-chilling stare to fix on Qing Qiang.

"Dead girl, not answering, dare to glare at me. Too bad you’re not Donghuang Sheng, no one can protect you, I have plenty of ways to make you speak," Qing Qiang signaled, causing Qing Meng’s face to freeze.

"Sister, you’re not serious about using torture, right? This delicate woman can’t endure it. Besides, your brother still wants..." Qing Meng was reluctant to see a good-looking little beauty tortured beyond recognition. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"This is not the time to pity the beauty. Want the Qing Residence to decline, want your sister living under others forever!" Qing Qiang shouted sternly.

"Fine, fine," Qing Meng, with no choice, ordered the restraints to be prepared.

Hu Sheng looked at the restraints, her eyes darkened but showed no fear.

Qing Qiang hadn’t expected the seemingly delicate woman to keep her mouth so tight.

A whole afternoon passed, she used more than ten types of restraints, some bones broken, yet the woman didn’t utter a word.

Throughout the process, the woman kept staring at her, her gaze unnervingly calm, momentarily giving Qing Qiang a sense of encountering Donghuang Sheng.

That day, at the azalea banquet, Donghuang Sheng’s gaze when releasing the last arrow was similar to that woman’s.

There must be a connection between these two.

Unable to get any answers from questioning, Qing Qiang let her brother imprison the woman first, and returned to the Crown Prince Mansion herself, hoping to extract some clues from Donghuang Sheng.

Upon entering the Emperor You Garden, she saw her maid Lan Ying waiting at the door.

It turned out Dugu Xiu had suddenly summoned everyone to the main hall.

By the time Qing Qiang arrived, everyone but Yun Sheng had already gathered there.

Dugu Xiu patiently waited for a moment, then Yun Sheng finally arrived, quite belatedly.

"Donghuang Sheng, you’ve got quite some audacity, making so many people wait for you," Qing Qiang said, displeased.

"Enough, I, the Crown Prince, will set out for the East River early tomorrow, and before departure, I don’t want to see anyone causing trouble," Dugu Xiu said, his eagle eyes dark with warning.

Upon hearing that Dugu Xiu was leaving the mansion, the women’s expressions varied.

Yun Sheng was initially overjoyed but then thought of a problem, what about her Soul Dreaming without Dugu Xiu?

This thing can’t be too far away from Dugu Xiu for too long.

The other three women showed worried expressions.

"Crown Prince, why go to East River? Going on another expedition?"

Indeed, before Donghuang Sheng joined the mansion, Dugu Xiu was frequently away.

For about eight to nine months a year.

But in recent years, with the growing strength of Hou Qin, Dugu Xiu’s time spent on campaigns outside had reduced, making this trip to East River rather abrupt.

Dugu Xiu didn’t answer but gave Yun Sheng a cold glance, hoping to find a hint of reluctance on her love-hate face.

Unfortunately, not only was there no reluctance, Yun Sheng didn’t even spare him a glance.

Dugu Xiu felt unbalanced; she was late, among many things.

Everyone else was quite worried, except Yun Sheng showed not even the slightest concern.

Pretending to care wouldn’t kill her.

Dugu Xiu couldn’t bear it anymore, "Princess, I’m headed for a distant expedition, do you have nothing to say?"

"Crown Prince, are you taking me with you on your expedition?" Yun Sheng asked with difficulty.

Upon Yun Sheng’s inquiry, except for Chi Bi, the other two women were enraged.

"Donghuang Sheng, have you no shame? The Crown Prince is going to war, why take a woman? We are not weak enough in Hou Qin to need women on the battlefield, let alone take me, not you," Qing Qiang pointed at Yun Sheng, shouting.

"Indeed, you can’t do anything, going to the battlefield would only endanger the Crown Prince. I say the Crown Prince should take me, the terrains of East River are most suitable for magic," Li Huali defiantly added.

"Enough, do not take I, the Crown Prince’s words, as mere noise," Dugu Xiu impatiently waved.

He truly was despicable, really thinking Yun Sheng would care about him?

This woman, her mind completely preoccupied with how to escape his side.

But damn it, the more she wanted to escape, the more he couldn’t leave her.

About East River, Dugu Xiu always felt something was wrong.

The East River area had been peaceful for many years.

Suddenly these days, endless riots broke out, an unknown force repeatedly breached border defenses in this area, many he had dispatched there returned unanswered.

The opposition clamored that only the Iron-blooded Crown Prince of Hou Qin could make them release prisoners.

Evidently, this was a trap.

But for morale, Dugu Xiu still had to go personally.

He even wanted to take Yun Sheng with him; this woman left alone in the Crown Prince Mansion, he was truly uneasy.
