Because the person who came was none other than Hua You from Yunpeng Palace, the personal maid of the Imperial Concubine.

"Eunuch Xing!" Hua You rushed over in a hurry. Could it be that something had happened to the Imperial Concubine again?

"What happened?" Xinglai has been really scared these past two days.

"Your Majesty, this servant requests an audience with the Emperor. The Imperial Concubine has disappeared," Hua You said.

"What?!" Xinglai was startled. What happened? Where did the Imperial Concubine go?

"When did you not see me?" Xinglai asked.

"Just now, this servant discovered that the Imperial Concubine is not in the palace. The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well today, so she has been resting and has not asked anyone to serve her. This servant noticed that the Imperial Concubine has not left her room for almost half a day, so I thought I would go in and check on her. But when this servant went in, there was no one in the room." Hua You's eyes were red, indicating that she had been crying.

Fortunately, he had a headache, but it was a serious matter, and he dared not delay, so he gritted his teeth and went in. He then relayed the entire story word for word. Yu Jingchen originally didn't have time to deal with her, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of something and ordered, "Prepare the carriage for Yunpeng Palace."

When Yu Jingchen arrived at Yunpeng Palace, he immediately ordered a search. To everyone's surprise, the Imperial Concubine reappeared in his room.

"Your Highness?" Hua You was still a little surprised, and immediately ran to the Imperial Concubine.

"Your Majesty, where did you just go? I was so worried!" Hua You said, her voice still trembling with tears.

"I have been in my room the whole time," the Imperial Concubine replied.

Yu Jingchen's eyes darkened slightly: "How big is the Consort's room? So that even her personal maid couldn't find her when she went in to look for her?" Yu Jingchen's tone was icy.

"Your Majesty, I really have been in my room the whole time..." The Imperial Concubine's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Yu Jingchen took a few steps closer, then his eyes turned cold, because there was still a faint smell of blood on the Consort.

"I'm asking you one last time, where did you go?" Yu Jingchen's eyes already held murderous intent.

"Your Majesty..." The Imperial Concubine was speechless for a moment, perhaps because Yu Jingchen's aura was too strong, so she couldn't say anything.

"Guards!" Yu Jingchen suddenly gave the order, and the guards behind him stepped forward with swords in hand.

"Take the Imperial Concubine away!" Yu Jingchen ordered swiftly and decisively. The guards rushed forward and subdued the Imperial Concubine, showing no regard for her status.

"Your Majesty?" The Imperial Concubine seemed quite surprised.

Hua You naturally sensed something was wrong, because she hadn't seen anyone when she came in. But...

"Is Nan Zhiyun in your hands?" Yu Jingchen asked.

"What is Your Majesty saying? I don't understand. How come Consort Nan is here with me?" The Imperial Concubine's eyes darted away.

"Do you want me to torture you?" Yu Jingchen asked.

Whether the imperial concubine was genuinely frightened or not, she remained silent for a moment, but her behavior had already betrayed her.

"Speak!" Yu Jingchen roared, startling the Imperial Concubine. But before she could speak, the palace guards arrived.

"Your Majesty, we have discovered a hidden room!" the guard reported. Everyone present was startled upon hearing this, even Hua You looked on in disbelief.
