Chapter 788: Who's going to Medical City?

Baili Mingxiang waited quietly. At last, Long Feiye called out to Uncle Gao to stop the carriage when they went through the pass. Baili Mingxiang quickly jumped off the carriage. She had learned quite some martial arts over the past few days. Although her level was average at best, she wasn’t as weak as she used to be and didn’t need an extra step to get off. Though she’d been hoping His Highness Duke of Qin would change his mind, she still was a little disappointed when he did.

Such disappointment reflected her conflicted heart. She knew full well how hard she’d fallen for him. Finally, she understood that love meant pain as well as joy. At least, that was how love had played out in her lifetime. She began to wonder whether His Highness Duke of Qin would go to Medical City himself and make them wait, or bring them with him?

But in the end, it turned out Baili Mingxiang had been naive. 

Would her words be enough to affect Long Feiye’s decision? Long Feiye called a shadow guard to his carriaged and instructed him in low tones. Baili Mingxiang could only catch three phrases: after the medical competition, eliminate, and Gu Beiyue. Besides that, she was left in the dark. 

Together, the three phrases combined could form a complete sentence: After the medical competition, eliminate Gu Beiyue.

But Baili Mingxiang had no idea whether this was His Highness Duke of Qin’s actual intentions. She only discovered after arriving at Celestial Mountain that Gu Beiyue wasn’t merely a doctor, but had kept in secret communications with His Highness Duke of Qin all this time without either of them telling esteemed wangfei. She had asked A’Dong about it in private, but his answer was simply that no one amongst the shadow guards knew what was going on between the pair except for Chu Xifeng. 

If His Highness Duke of Qin is really getting rid of Gu Beiyue after the medical competition, then it’s possible he’s just been using him.

But if that’s not his intention, then who does His Highness Duke of Qin want to eliminate?

Gu Beiyue should be esteemed wangfei’s best friend, right? If she discovers one day that His Highness Duke of Qin’s been hiding this, what will happen then? Baili Mingxiang didn’t dare to entertain the thought. She wanted to remind His Highness Duke of Qin, but lacked the courage to speak up in front of him.

Very soon, that shadow guard left for Medical City while Long Feiye told Uncle Gao coldly, “Let’s go. No rest tonight, we have to reach Sand River within ten days.”

Baili Mingxiang only felt blank as she resumed her seat on the carriage. She suddenly discovered that her own little thoughts and conjectures were a farc. How could she hope to guess His Highness Duke of Qin’s intentions?

However, she had no idea that her guess was spot on. Long Feiye had hesitated, but in the end he held onto the last bit of reason in his heart. He wasn’t reckless or wanton, but had learned since he was old enough to wait and forbear, stay rational and sober, and finally restrain himself. 

While Long Feiye was rushing to Sand River, Ning Cheng had already led his army there. He was going to cross it tomorrow, but didn’t expect the latest news from Medical City. The united front of three armies had stopped abruptly because of the news. It was the first time Ning Cheng had felt so oppressed in his life! He got no sleep last night but gathered his advisors in his tent to figure out what to do. In the end, it because a “Han Yunxi Analyzation Meeting.”
