Yu Yiluo noticed this and looked at Tao Ye who walked to the side of Concubine Shu, wondering in her heart.

[Did something happen to Concubine Shu? The Flower Thief's appearance should be tomorrow, what's going on?]

The few people who heard the inner voice looked towards Concubine Shu without leaving a trace.

The Fourth Prince, in particular, wanted to stand up and come over to ask Tao Ye what was going on.

The last time my grandfather went to the palace to see my father, he checked the details of the servants in the mansion after he came back. Although my grandfather never told him the reason for doing so, he guessed that it was probably related to Concubine Shu.

Tao Ye quickly walked to Concubine Shu's side, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is missing."

She followed the Queen's order to deliver food to Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect that Concubine Shu's room was empty, and even Lu'er, who served her, was nowhere to be seen.

Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Have you sent someone to look for any signs of a struggle in the room?"

"I've already sent someone to look for it, but there were no signs of a struggle in the house."

After Tao Ye left, Concubine Shu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell. I will take my leave now."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile, "Since my beloved concubine is not feeling well, please go and rest first."

After saying this, he winked at Eunuch Cao.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Cao stepped aside and followed him out of the hall.

…

After leaving the hall, Concubine Shu went directly to Concubine Shu's residence. As Tao Ye said, there were no signs of fighting at the scene.

She frowned slightly and asked as she walked out, "Is there any news about the person we went looking for?"

Tao Ye followed Concubine Shu and said hurriedly, "No."

At this time, Eunuch Cao hurried towards the two of them.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. The Emperor has asked me to come and see what has happened."

Tao Ye briefly explained the situation and Eunuch Cao nodded.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will send more people to search for you."

Concubine Shu had no idea what was happening here. She had already lain down to rest, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The scene of her meeting that person here kept appearing in her mind.

She got up and took Lu'er out of the house for a walk.

"Toffee, it's cold at night, why don't you go back and rest."

Lu'er followed behind Concubine Shu, looking at her in confusion as she stood by the pond in a daze.

Although she couldn't see the expression on the other person's face, she inexplicably felt that the concubine's back was very lonely.

Lu'er took a few steps forward and looked at the dried-up pond in front of her in the bright moonlight, wondering what was so interesting about this dried-up pond.

The concubine has been watching for almost half an hour.

Concubine Shu put away the distant memories in her mind, gathered her cloak, turned around and walked to Lu'er.

"Go back."

Now the pond is dry and the man is gone.

As soon as the two of them walked onto the path, they saw a group of guards coming towards them.

"Is something wrong? Why are there so many people?"

Lu'er whispered, and then she saw the guards coming towards her.

"Quick, go tell the Empress and the Emperor that the Dowager Concubine has been found."

After the guard gave the order, he clasped his fists and bowed to Concubine Shu.

"I greet the Empress Dowager. The Emperor and the Consort Shu are unable to find you, so they sent us here to look for you."

As he was speaking, a sound of footsteps was heard. It was the emperor and Concubine Shu and Concubine De walking towards them.

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted in unison.

"Aunt, I'm glad you're okay." The emperor asked everyone to stand up and walked straight to Concubine Shu.

Because a grand ceremony to worship the gods was to be held tomorrow, he asked everyone to go back and rest first and then brought people to look for Concubine Shu.

"I'm sorry to have troubled His Majesty," said Concubine Shu, looking apologetic. "I should have asked someone to tell His Majesty when I left."

[I thought something had happened, but now I see it here and it reminds me of someone.]

"Let's go back first. This place is abandoned and overgrown with moss. If you want to go out for a walk, go somewhere else."

Concubine Shu smiled and nodded, then walked back with Lu'er's support.

[They weren't just taking a walk, they were clearly reminiscing about the past.]

[This is where she fell in love with Xiao Shize.]

[In fact, even though Concubine Shu is a hateful person, she also has her own pitiful side. Xiao Shize has only used her from beginning to end, only occasionally promising her something big, which ultimately coaxed her into falling in love with him.]

[Hehe, in a sense, the two of them are running towards each other, one is painting the pie, the other is eating it.]

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

What kind of big pancake is so powerful that it makes someone as smart as Concubine Shu willing to be used by her?

…

The group sent Concubine Shu back and passed through the corridor and the peach blossom forest.

"The peach blossoms are so beautiful. I think it will be a different scene tomorrow."

Concubine De looked at the peach forest and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Shu asked in confusion.

Concubine De shook her head, thinking that she must have seen it wrong.

[Hey, isn't that the Second Emperor and Du Shuyan? ]

Yu Yiluo looked at the entrance to the peach forest, and the two people's backs gradually disappeared into the peach forest.

[Good fellow, the Second Prince actually brought the girl into the woods.]

emperor:"……"

Empress Xian: “…”

【I really want to see what they are doing in the woods. 】

"Father, has the person been found?"

The prince walked up to the group and bowed to the emperor.

"Found it, you should rest early."

【Why take a break?】

Yu Yiluo stared at the peach forest and saw the Third Prince and Mu Xue walking in under the moonlight, which made her feel uneasy.

[No, the Third Prince and the heroine also went, hahaha. Are the Fourth Prince and Qin Qianqian sure they won't come to join in the fun?]

[Sigh, several of my brothers have someone to spend time with under the moonlight, except my brother the Crown Prince.]

"But my brother, the Crown Prince, can take me to see my brothers' rendezvous. That's perfect."

A hint of smile appeared in the prince's eyes. He thought Luo'er was going to sympathize with him again, but it turned out that the little girl had this idea in mind.

The Emperor and Concubine Xian looked at each other helplessly.

[Oh, Fourth Brother Qin Qianqian is here too. How interesting.]

The Emperor waited until the Fourth Prince and Qin Qianqian disappeared before handing Yu Yiluo to Concubine Xian. "Take Luo'er back and rest early."

…

The Fourth Prince was dragged by Qin Qianqian into the peach blossom forest, rubbing his eyes as he walked.

"Qin Qianqian, why are you dragging me here so late at night?"

Qin Qianqian let go of the Fourth Prince. "Sister Xue and Sister Yan told me they were resting, but when I woke up they were not in the room, so I came to look for you."

The Fourth Prince thought of the two empty beds in his room. His Second and Third Brothers had also said the same thing to him.

So both he and Qin Qianqian were deceived.

"Second and third brothers are not in the room either."

The two stood close together, and the fragrance from Qin Qianqian's body drifted towards the Fourth Prince's nose.

He scratched his head and said softly.

"If you're tired, why don't you go back and rest?"

Qin Qianqian glared at the Fourth Prince, "You really don't want to come out with me?"

Knowing that she had misinterpreted his meaning, the Fourth Prince quickly explained, "No, I was worried that you'd been sitting in the sedan chair for too long today and might be tired."
