Chapter 1039 - 1041 Where is He_1

The Emperor could think of this, and so naturally could Commandery Princess Dongyang, but she didn’t know where Mu Shaoling had gone to look for the medicine, so she urged the Mu Family to send people to search.

Fortunately, at this time, Mu Shaofeng had returned, and Commandery Princess Dongyang believed he must know where Mu Shaoling had gone, so she chased Mu Shaofeng every day, asking for his whereabouts.

However, Mu Shaofeng had received a warning from Mu Shaoling, that he absolutely must not disclose it, or else he would truly have to go to the northwest.

"I don’t know, how would I know?"

"You’re sure you won’t tell?"

"I won’t tell!" Mu Shaofeng shook his head subconsciously.

Commandery Princess Dongyang then narrowed her eyes, "Won’t tell? If you won’t tell, it means you know where he is, you just don’t want to tell me, not that you don’t know, right?"

Mu Shaofeng almost got confused by her and nearly admitted she was right.

But luckily, he stopped himself in time.

"I really don’t know! I think you should ask the Third Prince about it, my cousin must know what medicine he’s looking for," Mu Shaofeng decided it was better to divert the trouble elsewhere, "Don’t you also have some medical knowledge? If you know what medicine he’s looking for, how could you not know where he has gone?"

Upon hearing this, Commandery Princess Dongyang rolled her eyes. If the Third Prince could tell her, would she still be lingering in the Capital City? She would have hit the road long ago, for goodness’ sake.

"Mu Shaoling, that bastard, dares not to marry me, I’ll cripple him." Commandery Princess Dongyang wasn’t usually so violent, it was just a burst of anger at the moment.

Hearing this, Mu Shaofeng shivered, thinking to himself how women these days are all so fierce.

But he still felt some sympathy for Commandery Princess Dongyang, her love for his cousin was deep, yet sadly unrequited, alas.

So he sighed deeply, "I’m saying you don’t have to be so anxious, there are still two or three months before you get married, right? He will definitely come back by then."

"Tsk, don’t bother comforting me with nonsense, you think I don’t know? He won’t come back at all, he doesn’t fancy me, and he dislikes being forced into marriage even more," said Commandery Princess Dongyang, quite disheartened.

Mu Shaofeng looked at her gloomy face, forgetting to eat the apple in his hand.

What was this girl thinking? If you know he doesn’t like being forced, why did you ask for an imperial decree to pressure him?

Perhaps his bewildered gaze was too obvious, and Commandery Princess Dongyang glared at him.

Then she explained, "I’m already sixteen. In our clan, a girl who isn’t married by sixteen is considered an old maid and will have her marriage arranged by the elders, and being a Commandery Princess doesn’t exempt me. I don’t want to accept those arrangements; I want to choose someone I like."

"Oh," Mu Shaofeng nodded, understanding, "So you’re running out of time, and that’s why you’re in such a hurry, right? Truly pitiful!"

Commandery Princess Dongyang nodded vigorously, then looked at Mu Shaofeng with expectant eyes—the message was clear: seeing as how I’m in such an urgent and pitiable state, just tell me where to find him.

"Ahem," finding her gaze too intense, Mu Shaofeng felt almost embarrassed.

But girl, I really can’t tell you.

"Hmph, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me, I’ll find him myself."

Commandery Princess Dongyang cast a glance at him, judging by his demeanor he probably wouldn’t reveal anything, and stomped off, only to return after a few steps.

"What’s up?"

What does such an eager and fervent gaze mean?

"Do you think Mu Shaoling might go to Yangshu Village to find Yang Chuxia?"

"Ahem..." The apple got stuck in his throat. Mu Shaofeng’s surprised expression was all too apparent, he just wanted to say, girl, what are you thinking? He’s out looking for medicine, not a person, does Yang Chuxia have the medicine? Why would he go to Yangshu Village?
