A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Ning Yue frowned and looked back at the two carriages behind her.

She did have to rest. Three carriages were too big a target. She had to settle her things first.

“Alright,” Ning Yue said.

Ning Yue was too curious. Why would Meng Lang suddenly want the key to the Miracle Doctor’s Valley and chase after her?

No one should know that Jiang Ying had given her the key.

Could it be that Meng Lang wanted to use her to deal with Jiang Ying?

That didn’t make sense. The news of her being poisoned had already spread.

Back in the capital, she had spread the news that she did not know how to detoxify the poison and was about to die.

Presumably, Meng Lang wouldn’t focus on her anymore, but the situation was the other way around.

What Ning Yue and Meng Lang did not know was that in the inn Ning Yue had stayed in previously, the shopkeeper, who was trembling in fear, had changed his expression when Meng Lang left.

He sneered and closed the shop.

Ning Yue was already safe. He had completed his mission, so there was no need for the shop to exist.

Meng Lang led his subordinates to follow the route provided by the shopkeeper for a long time, but they could not find any traces of Ning Yue.

Meng Lang’s expression changed. “Stop!”

This was the second time. This was the second time they had been deceived!

“Turn around!” Meng Lang ordered his men.

“Why do we have to turn back?” his subordinates asked him in confusion.

“No matter how fast those two women are, they can’t outrun us on horseback. We’ve been chasing them for so long, but we haven’t caught up. If we haven’t fallen into a trap, what else can it be?” Meng Lang said.

Meng Lang was furious. She could actually play him like a dog! When he caught Ning Yue, he would definitely torture her to death!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Lang waved his hand, indicating that the main group should turn around.

When they returned to the inn to search, they realized that the people there were long gone. Meng Lang was even angrier. “Search!”

At this moment, Ning Yue had already moved into Jiang Ying’s intelligence station. When Jiang Ying received the news, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, the intelligence station was safe. He could be a little more at ease with Ning Yue there.

Ning Yue suddenly had an idea. She called the secret guards and Baili over.

“Baili, sorry to trouble you. Take a few people and drive two carriages to the celebration. Wait for me. Yun Duo and I will take this carriage.”

Baili was Ning Yue’s guard. As long as that group of people saw Baili, they would definitely think that Ning Yue was in the carriage. This way, they could lure them away so that she and Yun Duo would be safe. However, it would be hard on Baili.

“Alright!” Baili knew Ning Yue’s plan and agreed. He left with a few secret guards.

Before leaving, Ning Yue instructed him to be careful. If there was any trouble, she would let that group of people know that she did not leave with Baili.

They were almost at the destination of the celebration. She had slept. If she got up in the morning and traveled, she should be able to reach it by evening.

Baili had been attacked by Meng Lang’s people along the way, but he had never lost, so he quickly arrived at the destination of the celebration.

Jiang Ying thought that Ning Yue was also in the carriage and had come to pick her up early, but he did not expect that Ning Yue was not around!

“Heir, the princess ordered me to send the goods back first. She’s right behind with Yun Duo,” Baili said.

Jiang Ying’s eyes widened. “Are you stupid?! Do you think Meng Lang won’t realize that you and Yueyue have left separately?”

“Do you know how dangerous it will be for Yun Duo and a few secret guards if you leave?” Jiang Ying was furious.

Jiang Ying did not care what Baili thought. He organized two teams. Before setting off, he said goodbye to the emperor and left.

In order to protect the emperor, Jiang Ying mobilized ten teams. If he wanted to find Ning Yue, he would split up two teams. This would not affect the emperor much.

Jiang Ying went to the intelligence station from another path, but he did not see Ning Yue.

He panicked. Where could he find Ning Yue?

Jiang Ying took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening them again.

“Ah Da, come here,” Jiang Ying called out.
