Abandoned Wife? Her Starlight Shall Blind You!-Chapter 246 - 189: Searching for the Place of Our First Encounter

Chapter 246: Chapter 189: Searching for the Place of Our First Encounter

Jun Moling was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure. He lowered his voice and said, "It was the horse that was sabotaged, running directly to the slope, causing me to fall, and then I was bitten by a snake. Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, I might have really..."

Shen Ruoxi was also stunned upon hearing this.

The horse was tampered with, which clearly indicated that someone intended to harm him, and the people who knew his schedule were from the Prince Mansion.

This means that the person who plotted against him was very likely an insider agent.

"Have you found the culprit?" Shen Ruoxi asked urgently.

Jun Moling shook his head helplessly, "No, only a coachman in charge of the stables committed suicide, and all clues were thus cut off. I’m afraid this will become a unsolved case."

Shen Ruoxi gently pursed her lips; plotting against the Prince is a crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family.

Without a mastermind supporting him from the shadows, how could a mere coachman dare undertake such a brazen act?

This means, as early as that time, someone had already attempted to harm her husband.

Moreover, even her husband couldn’t discover the assassin, showing the opponent’s cleverness.

This could be said to be a hidden worry.

"We should investigate further." Shen Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Jun Moling didn’t want this troubling matter to spoil their good mood for this outing. He warmly said, "My dear, haven’t we almost arrived at that place?"

Shen Ruoxi couldn’t help but feel amused, intentionally asking, "Why are you so insistent on finding that place, my dear?"

Jun Moling pulled her closer and said gently, "That is where we first met, the beginning of our fate.

Many times I think, if it weren’t for the plot of those villains, if I hadn’t been bitten by the snake, we might never have met, which would have been our eternal regret."

Shen Ruoxi countered, "I think that two people destined to meet will find each other regardless of the circumstances. But can we really find that place?"

After all, so much time has passed; finding it might take some effort.

In actual fact, Jun Moling had come to this place many times looking for Shen Ruoxi, so she was familiar with the area.

"We should be close."

Shen Ruoxi nodded, and the two continued walking.

Elsewhere, with an order from the Emperor, everyone rode into the hunting grounds, eager to claim the first place.

The Yang Family and Zou Family also rode their horses to follow.

Yang Family lowered her voice, "Fifth sister-in-law, let’s go to the place we prepared in advance to ambush, asking the enemy to walk right into our trap."

Zou Family nodded heavily, a fierce gleam flashing in her eyes.

She had waited so long for this day; now that the enemy had come to her doorstep, she would never give him the chance to return to Beichang alive.

"Understood," Zou Family replied in a low voice.

The Yang Family and Zou Family were both descendants of military generals; although they did not possess profound martial arts, horse riding was an easy task for them.

At this moment, they both kept their eyes fixed on the direction Chunyu Che departed in, full of hope that everything would proceed smoothly.

On the other side, Chunyu Che was already eager to try; his extraordinary martial arts far surpassed those around him.

During this hunt, people were scattered about, leaving only Sword Shadow and Residual Wind, his two close Hidden Guards, by his side.

The elder, unwilling to ride, found it difficult to keep up with the vast expanse of this place.

Reluctantly, the elder gave Chunyu Che a signal tool, advising him to use it if he encountered danger.

Chunyu Che also found having them around somewhat restrictive, so he gladly accepted the elder’s suggestion.

Shen Ruoxi and Jun Moling walked slowly, talking as they went. "My dear, the Medicine King Valley isn’t far from here. If you’ve been searching for me for years, how could you not have any clues?"

At the mention of this, Jun Moling couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration.

In fact, he had indeed found the Medicine King Valley, but the people there informed him that the person he sought wasn’t there.

Moreover, he had made various inquiries and knew that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley had only two female disciples, both of whom he had met. Neither was the one he held dear.

Actually, all of this was the intention of Shen Ruoxi’s master.

At that time, Shen Ruoxi’s master did not want his disciple to have any ties with Jun Moling.

Besides, the Medicine King Valley has always been very mysterious and isolated, with few knowing its secrets.

Moreover, the master’s proficiency in disguise was unparalleled. It was really quite easy to prevent Jun Moling from finding Shen Ruoxi.

Thus, Jun Moling was misled. After visiting the Medicine King Valley twice, confirming the person he was looking for wasn’t there, he turned his search elsewhere, completely deviating from the right path.

Jun Moling smiled helplessly, "Your master didn’t want me to find you, how could I have found you? Your master is really quite extraordinary, isn’t he!"

Shen Ruoxi found it hard to tell whether he was praising or criticizing her master and could only smile lightly, "The main thing was, at that time, people like you, members of the Royal Family, were really hard to trust.

If not for that, my master wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to protect me, preventing you from finding me."

Jun Moling gently pinched her hand, speaking softly, "Actually, I harbor some resentment towards your master.

If he hadn’t meddled, I could have found you sooner, and we could have got engaged sooner, preventing Xiao Chengyi from taking advantage of that, causing us so many trials and twists."

As Jun Moling spoke, a hint of emotion and gratitude shone in his eyes, grateful that finally, they could be together.

Shen Ruoxi slightly furrowed her brows, thinking for a moment before whispering, "Are you sure that when you returned to the Capital City to see me, apart from Chunyu Ya, no one else noticed?

As the military leader in the camps, leaving without notice is a serious offense! If the Emperor finds out, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Jun Moling was taken aback, not expecting his wife to know this.

Come to think of it, she was always exceptionally intelligent and could easily deduce that it was him who saved Chunyu Ya just by calculating the timeline.

Jun Moling, also lowering his voice, responded, "At that time, I changed my disguise, thinking rescuing someone was just a simple task, but it almost led to disaster.

However, rest assured, only the teacher and Mi Yi and Mi Er know about this, and they would never betray me.

So, no matter who brings it up, I will never admit it; for now, it can’t be publicized."

In truth, he was not afraid of whether the Emperor found out. What truly troubled him was that Princess Aya.

If she knew it was him who saved her, who knows how she would cling on.

This matter, he decided to bury deep in his heart, never letting it see the light of day.

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi felt only helplessness and concern, thinking that he was simply too impulsive.

Had the Beichang army taken the opportunity to launch a counterattack at that time, the outcome would be too dreadful to imagine.

"You!" Shen Ruoxi playfully chided, casting an endearing glance at him.

But Jun Moling held her hand tightly, "Even if I were to do it all over again, I would make the same choice."

In truth, ever since the entire Shen Family Army perished, he never thought he would return alive.

To see her one last time and personally witness her glorious marriage was his final wish.

No matter the cost, he was willing to pay it.

Yet, life’s path is full of surprises and joy. He never expected that he could meet her again in the camp, let alone that they could end up together.

Precisely because of this, he felt a sense of fulfillment that was once only a dream.

Now, he desires nothing more, as long as he can cherish the love between them, he can accept anything else.

His expectations have become increasingly modest, and he only wishes to spend a lifetime with her, as years go by in peace.
