"But sister, why did you leave back then?"
Lan Qing had always listened to Lan Ji, but this time, he didn't seem as obedient as before.
He suddenly had some small thoughts of his own.
Small desires.
He wanted to go out for a walk.
"Lan Qing..."
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, and where was Lan Qing in sight?
Lan Ji's heart was filled with panic.
He was disobedient, he was truly disobedient!
He left just like that, irresponsibly, without regard for the turmoil in the palace!
What to do?
The Emperor must still be suppressing the news, not letting outsiders know that the National Master had left Lingjiu Hall and his whereabouts were unknown.
But as long as the National Master did not return, with time, this news would be impossible to suppress.
In the end, it would surely alert the people of the Lan clan!
What to do?
...
That night, the palace was indeed chaotic.
In the latter half of the night, Yang Xun brought a note to Feng Yexuan.
"Your... Your Majesty, someone outside brought this to me."
Feng Yexuan immediately snatched it over and opened it, his expression gradually becoming chilling and strange.
"Your Majesty, is it the National Master..."
Feng Yexuan glanced at him.
Yang Xun immediately shut his mouth.
His master still didn't know about the National Master's disappearance.
The toxins in his body were not yet cleared, and he was in danger of death at any moment. If he became agitated at this time, the toxins would invade his internal organs, making treatment even more difficult.
But, what the note said...
He suddenly turned and walked quickly out of the study.
Yang Xun followed him, stopping only at the sleeping quarters.
Inside lived a young lady.
Chu Qianli had just returned from giving Chu Jiangnan acupuncture to detoxify him. Before she could even sit down to catch her breath, she was startled by the intruding Feng Yexuan.
Could this man be asking her to do something again?
His aggressive approach indicated nothing good.
"Do you know the National Master?" Feng Yexuan casually used his palm to close the door and walked quickly to her. Without any unnecessary words, he got straight to the point.
Chu Qianli didn't know what information he had received, so she could only repeat what she had said: "I told you, I've only seen him once."
"Why do people say that only you can find the National Master?" Feng Yexuan handed the note to her.
The note indeed stated that if Chu Qianli was allowed to leave the palace, she could find the National Master.
"Who sent the note?" Of course, Chu Qianli also knew that this question would likely go unanswered.
As expected, Feng Yexuan pursed his lips and did not reply.
"What exactly are you hiding from this King? If you don't tell me, this King can find out, but if you let this King investigate, you may not be able to bear the consequences."
Chu Qianli glared at him.
"Don't test this King's patience!" Feng Yexuan's patience was indeed running out.
It should be said that from the beginning, he hadn't had much patience for her.
Chu Qianli sneered, "Your Highness can also investigate, but you definitely won't find him faster than I will."
"Are you provoking this King's bottom line?" Feng Yexuan suddenly took a step forward, lowered his head, and stared intently at her face.
"I dare not!"
Chu Qianli immediately caved.
With Fulong in his hands, she could only obey him now.
"There is a young and handsome man in the Prince's mansion, picked up from the streets, I suspect..."
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself!" Feng Yexuan snorted coldly.
Picking up handsome young men wherever he went!
He turned to leave.
Chu Qianli chased after him, "Wait, you might not be able to find him if you go!"
