Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 172 Prince Yu Awakens

"Woof woof woof..." Another barking sound came from behind the two of them.

"What's going on here today?" Nangong Ming glanced behind him. "I've never seen so many dogs gathered here barking before!"

Long Chuqing replied dismissively, "No one would dare to wander the streets in the middle of the night in the past!"

Nangong Ming nodded slightly: "That's true."

The two ignored the barking, and the dogs stopped barking once they were away from the road.

The two continued walking forward, and Nangong Ming turned to look at Long Chuqing beside him: "Excuse me, Miss Long, where are you from?"

Long Chuqing glanced at him: "That is indeed quite presumptuous."

"I'm just curious. I had someone check your information before, but we searched every prefecture and state and couldn't find any information about you."

Long Chu stopped in her tracks, looking at Nangong Ming with a puzzled expression: "Why are you investigating me?" Then, as if remembering something, she pointed at him and said in an accusatory tone: "Speaking of which, why did you post my portrait everywhere before?"

Nangong Ming reached out and brushed her fingers away, continuing to walk forward, saying casually, "Don't mind it, that's all in the past! I just wanted to lure you out so we could have a good competition."

"Besides, I also lost a Moon Creek Pavilion because of this. How about we even it out?" He turned around and looked at Long Chuqing with sincere eyes.

Long Chuqing glared at him angrily: "Are you really that bored?"

"It's just that life is so boring! Sigh... You still haven't answered my question! Where are you from? Or which sect are you from? You look like a young lady, yet your martial arts are so advanced at such a young age." Nangong Ming looked curious.

Long Chu felt slightly guilty after listening, and then said, "People in the martial arts world are neither from any sect nor faction."

"No sect or school? Could it be that you are self-taught?" Nangong Ming asked curiously.

"Ahem... Well, that's right, I figured it all out myself."

Long Chuqing secretly rejoiced that it was dark all around, so Nangong Ming wouldn't be able to see the guilty expression on her face.

Nangong Ming was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Then why are you living in the Prince Qin's residence?"

Long Chuqing said with slight impatience, "Mind your own business! Why do you have so many questions?"

“Isn’t it quiet and boring to walk at night?” Nangong Ming glanced at her subtly. “Besides, I’m also quite curious about it.”

Long Chuqing pouted: "How boring..."

“Since you don’t want to answer, then… how about you ask me the question instead? I’ll answer everything I know.” Nangong Ming said in a light tone.

Long Chuqing said with a hint of disdain, "I'm not interested in your affairs at all." Then she quickly walked forward.

"No, please ask..."

They soon arrived at the Prince of Qin's residence and went directly to the direction of the Qiushui Pavilion courtyard: "Alright, I've arrived. You can go back now! Thank you for seeing me off."

"I'll leave after you go inside."

Long Chuqing waved to him and leaped into the Qiushui Pavilion.

After seeing her go inside, Nangong Ming leaped onto the roof and quickly disappeared into the night, stepping on the staggered rooftops.

Xiao Han did not return to the Qin Prince's Mansion last night, but stayed directly at the Yu Prince's Mansion. He was worried about the Yu Prince and wanted to know his condition as soon as he woke up.

Prince Yu woke up at 7:00 AM. He opened his blurry eyes and it took him a while to make out the people gathered around his bed.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Princess Yu stayed by his side the whole time. When she heard him speak, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

Prince Yu turned his gaze to her, slowly raised a hand to her cheek, and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Don't cry, I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

Princess Yu held his hand and pressed it against her cheek, while using her other hand to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief. She shook her head and said, "It's good that you're alright."

Prince Yu then turned his gaze to Xiao Han, who was standing by the bed, and asked with concern, "Seventh Brother, are you alright?"

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good..."

Prince Qi poured a glass of water over: "Brother, would you like some water?" He had just heard that the man's voice was a little hoarse, so he figured the man must be thirsty.

“Hmm…” Prince Yu responded softly.

After drinking the water, Prince Yu felt the dryness in his throat relieved. He looked at Xiao Han and said, "I am fine now. Seventh Brother, you are still injured. Go and rest!"

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, you two have kept watch over me all night, you should go back and rest soon!"

Prince Qi nodded and said, "In that case, elder brother, you should take good care of your injuries first. We'll head back to our residence now and come to see you another day."

Prince Yu nodded slightly, raised his weak hand and waved it gently: "Go quickly!"

The group left the dormitory one after another, leaving the space to Prince Yu and his wife.

Long Chuqing didn't get up until almost 9 AM. After a good night's rest, the fatigue from last night had disappeared, and he had regained his usual energy.

After getting up and having breakfast, she went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. She hadn't forgotten that she had said she would get medicine for Qing Tong and Qing Ying last night, and she also got some for Xiao Han.

I just wonder if they came back last night? Are they at home today?

“Ziguang…” Long Chuqing stood in front of the medicine shelf and called out to Ziguang outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound, Zi Guang jogged in: "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"Go and ask the Prince and Qingying if they are at the manor right now."

"Alright..." After receiving the order, Zi Guang turned and walked outside.

Ziguang returned shortly afterward, followed by Qingsong: "Miss, Lord Qingsong has arrived."

Long Chuqing turned her head and looked: "Qingsong, you're back!"

Qingsong strode into the pharmacy: "The prince is still at Prince Yu's residence and hasn't returned yet!"

"Oh... is Prince Yu alright now?"

"His Highness Prince Yu has woken up, but he has a fever that won't go down and he doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Would it be convenient for you to go and take a look at him?"

While preparing the medicine, Long Chuqing asked, "Is the imperial physician still in the Prince's residence?"

"Yes, sir." Qingsong nodded. "Our lord is still worried! He feels he'll only feel at ease if you come and take a look."

"Alright! Wait for me a moment, I'll come with you after I get these two doses of medicine."

She paused in her movements, then turned to look at Qingsong: "By the way, have Qingying and Qingshan returned yet? I told them I'd get their medicine last night."

Qingsong replied, "I'm back. I came back this morning."

"Are they alright?"

"You look much more energetic now than yesterday."

"Okay, that's good. I'll prepare the medicine in a bit, and you can take it back and have someone brew it for them."
