In order to save his life, Zhao Jun tried his best to brainwash her again.
"Tell me about that bastard. You just fell in love with a man you truly love. What's wrong with that?"
"You can't blame the man before you for his bad luck. He died too early. What does it have to do with you?"
"If you truly love someone, you want to give birth to their children. What's wrong with that?"
"Then who made that bastard discover it himself? How can you blame him for rebelling when he chases after people and kills them?"
Zhao Jun made accusations indignantly, but what he said actually made her almost sick to death.
The Queen Mother seemed to be comforted by her words and her mood calmed down a little.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with curses from Zhao Jun and that woman.
Let’s go back to Ying Zheng.
He was concerned about Zhao Jun's disappearance.
Of course I was completely unaware...
Originally, he and Zhao Jun did not meet every day.
When Zhao Jun is busy, he is not seen all day.
No one in the entire palace noticed anything wrong, except Qingliu.
Ever since Qingliu and Zhao Jun moved to Zhiyang Palace together, she followed orders not to disturb Zhao Jun in the middle of the night.
She just stayed in the room reading the Qin books that Zhao Jun gave her.
But every time Zhao Jun came back, she could still hear him and would go to say hello.
But tonight, until Qingliu finished learning the characters for the day and it was already midnight, she still hadn't seen anyone come back.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhao Jun had never come back so late before, and coupled with what happened with Feng Quan before, she was very alert.
So she stayed awake that night, staring at the door, only to find that she had not returned all night.
Qingliu felt more and more uneasy, and thought, could it be that he had taken the wrong path and returned to his old house?
In the morning light, Qingliu ran quickly back to the previous room and did not see anyone.
"Maybe he went to the King."
Qingliu thought to himself that the relationship between the Lord and the King has always been delicate, so it is not impossible for him to stay at the King's place.
Although the possibility is not high, if something really happens, we still have to ask the king to solve it.
Thinking of this, Qingliu ran quickly towards the front hall again.
When she arrived at the front hall, she happened to see Ying Zheng coming out for the morning court.
Sun Cheng saw someone running towards him from a distance. He had never seen Qing Liu in person, so he thought she was an intruder and ordered people to go over and drive her away.
"Eunuch Sun, I am Qingliu, serving Lord Zhao. I have something important to report."
Qingliu rushed through the crowd and shouted at Sun Cheng.
Ying Zheng was still in the room and didn't hear anything, but Sun Cheng heard Zhao Jun Qingliu's name and slowly walked over.
"You said you were the Qingliu who served Lord Zhao?"
Sun Cheng knew Qingliu and had once lamented that the little girl was lucky. If it was really a big deal for Zhao Jun, he had to listen to it.
Sun Cheng waved his hand and asked someone to let her in.
As soon as Qingliu came in, he didn't care about anything else but asked about Sun Cheng first.
"Is Lord Zhao here now?" she asked anxiously.
"Master Zhao came last night."
Qingliu was just about to let go of his worries when he suddenly heard him say this.
"But she went back home at midnight last night. I personally saw her off. Did something happen?"
Seeing Qingliu so anxious and asking such questions, he felt something was wrong.
"He went back? How is that possible? I was staring at the door last night, but the master didn't come back. I also looked for him in the previous house, but I didn't see him either."
Qingliu told Sun Cheng the whole story in a few words.
Now Sun Cheng also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Zhao Jun didn't return to the palace after leaving the King's place last night. Is he missing?!
He turned around and walked into the house with Qingliu.
At this time, Ying Zheng was already dressed and ready to leave.
"What's wrong? You're so flustered."
Ying Zheng asked casually, this Sun Cheng is still not steady at his age.
It was not until Sun Cheng briefly explained the whole story that his heart sank and his expression became solemn.
"You mean, you kept watching her and she didn't go back?"
Ying Zheng asked with a frown, his voice low and his fists clenched.
Qingliu was frightened by the king's aura. He lowered his head and dared not look directly at him, but his voice was extremely firm.
"Yes, I have been watching, and there is none."
Ying Zheng sat down and turned the ring on his hand.
Zhao Jun appeared suddenly at that time. Could he leave suddenly now?
No, if she leaves, she may not tell me, but she will not even tell Qingliu.
Besides, she had been devoted to papermaking before, and it didn't seem like she was going to leave suddenly.
"Sun Cheng, send someone to the Mo family workshop and the Nei Shi Mansion to see if they are there."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Sun Cheng walked out of the hall quickly.
"Has she offended anyone in the palace?"
Ying Zheng's face turned pale, and he asked Qingliu who was kneeling beside him in a very depressed tone.
Qingliu couldn't think of anyone else at the moment, the only thing that happened to Feng Quan before was, could it be because of this? She answered truthfully.
"Come here, bring Feng Quan and his men to me."
Ying Zheng yelled at the young eunuch beside him whose name he did not know.
For a moment, the hall was as silent as death, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
After a while, Sun Cheng ran back and said breathlessly, "No, no, no one from either place has seen Lord Zhao."
Ying Zheng's frown deepened, and he gripped the wooden chair next to him tightly. The wood of the chair creaked and broke into pieces, leaving sawdust all over the floor.
"Your Majesty, today's morning meeting."
Sun Cheng lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. Although he knew that anyone who spoke now would be scolded, he had no choice but to go ahead.
