"Forget it. I'm leaving now."

After he let her go, Lingzhi's fair and pretty face felt inexplicably hot.

She whispered something, then turned and hurriedly left the cell, with a hint of escape.

The wind outside was so cold that I could still feel the biting chill through the window.

Xiao Qingyun's long eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Is he too anxious?

He was just too worried, it was all too late...

…

After Lingzhi returned to the Regent's Palace, she found Su Shisan and Shen Yuchao waiting there.

Seeing Lingzhi, Su Shisan's face showed a panic that was rarely seen in a century: "Lingzhi, my sister is missing!"

"Su Xian? How come she disappeared?" Lingzhi was very surprised when she heard that.

"It was only after I returned home that I found out that my sister hadn't returned from the palace for several days."

Su Shisan scratched his head in pain, not knowing what to do: "Lingzhi, has something happened to my sister? What should I do?"

"Don't worry, let us think of a solution." Lingzhi comforted.

Although Su Xian was the emperor's teacher, she did not have to live in the palace. She would only enter the palace when it was time for court like other officials.

At most, she would be kept in the palace by the emperor for one night, and it would generally not happen that she would not return home for several days.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as an emergency where he went directly to other places, or... died in the palace.

The more Lingzhi thought about it, the more frightened she became.

From the moment they returned to Beijing, she seemed to be guided by an invisible hand in every single thing, and she didn't know where to start.
