The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“My granddaughter has also been gone for many years. I don’t know whether she has given birth to a boy or a girl. The emperor needs to cultivate so that he can find his father and Qing’er. He has no choice but to leave all state affairs to you.”

Nalan Zhangqian fell silent.

‘Not only the princess, even Jing’er and Dai’er have run away and followed Tang Yin. Once they left, they have not returned for many years.’

“Father…” Nalan Zhangqian suddenly spoke. “Do you think they can still come back?”

Elder Nalan froze, picked up his other shoe as well, and threw it at Nalan Zhangqian.

“What are you babbling about? Of course, they can come back. If you talk nonsense again, I’ll beat you to death!”

Nalan Zhangqian dodged the shoes thrown by the old man and sighed helplessly.

“Father, I’m not talking nonsense. After all, she’s been gone for too long… Wasn’t that how the previous emperor disappeared back then? He has not returned for many years, and I really think that he has passed away…”

Initially, everyone thought that Tianya had died, and only Feng Tianwu knew the truth.

But no matter what, Tianya had been missing for many years. If he could come back, he would have come back long ago.

Old Master Nalan fell silent. He understood that what Nalan Zhangqian said was the truth.

If he could come back, he would have come back long ago…

“Your job is to help the emperor handle the state’s matters. These are not what you should worry about. Moreover… I always felt some unease and… I always feel that something will happen. We should pay more attention now, and you should be prepared.”

“Alright…”

Nalan Zhangqian rarely fought with Old Master Nalan. He was just a little angry because Old Master Nalan did not care about anything and asked him to handle everything.

Tian Shen Manor.

In Gu Manor’s courtyard.

Gu Yiyi sat on the rock, her hand holding her cheek, quietly staring at the sky.

“Yiyi…” Gu Shi appeared behind Gu Yiyi, sighing softly. “You are not young anymore. Father and Old Master Mu have discussed the marriage between you and Mu Qingyin…”

Gu Yiyi pouted. “I don’t want to get married.”

Gu Shi was speechless.

“Don’t you want to be Nan Xian’s second aunt? If you don’t marry Mu Qingyin, I’m afraid that Nan Xian will not even let you enter the Mu family.”

“Xiao Qing has not returned. I don’t want to marry now. I want to wait for her to return and attend my wedding.”

Gu Yiyi lowered her gaze and pouted sadly.

‘Xiao Qing has left for a long time. Why hasn’t she come back?

‘Even Tang Yin has disappeared…

‘Tang Yin must have followed Xiao Qing and left me here alone.’

“What if… She can’t come back?” Gu Shi asked cautiously.

Ever since Feng Ruqing left a few years ago, no one had ever seen her again, and no one knew exactly where she had gone.

The Gu family had sent people to search for her, but they could not find her…

Perhaps…

She could not return anymore, just like Tianya?

Gu Shi sighed lightly. He was a little heartbroken as he thought about this matter. ‘Maiden Feng is a good girl. How did she suddenly disappear?’

His daughter was lovesick about her.

“I will not marry anyone for the rest of my life. I have to wait for Xiao Qing to come back.”

Gu Yiyi sat on the rock, put her hands on her cheeks. She looked innocent.

“Besides, the Mu family won’t hold the wedding if that vixen Nan Xian doesn’t come back.”
