In the hall, someone said, "Why is Princess An missing?"
"Oh, that's true." someone responded.
Jun Mochen, who had been worried about Sang Liwan, immediately became restless when he heard this. He looked around but did not see Sang Liwan.
Seeing his actions, Chen Yan chuckled unconsciously, "Don't look, she's not here."
Hearing this, Jun Mochen seemed to suddenly realize something, and he turned around abruptly to look at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan just met his gaze without dodging or avoiding it, letting him look at her quietly, with no fear in her eyes.
Jun Mochen looked at her carefully for a long time, but he really didn't find any flaws. However, his intuition told him that this matter was probably related to Chen Yan.
So, he asked tentatively, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Chen Yan did not answer him, still looking at him without avoiding, but in Jun Mochen's eyes, this was no different from tacit consent.
His expression changed several times. He grabbed Chen Yan's arm with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Why are you doing this? How did she offend you?"
However, despite this, Chen Yan deliberately played dumb. She moved her arms slightly but did not break free from Jun Mochen's shackles. "What are you talking about? I don't know anything. I'm just curious, Jun Mochen, what are you thinking?"
"I……"
Jun Mochen had barely uttered a single word when he was interrupted by Chen Yan, "Jun Mochen, you're not thinking about how to have two wives, are you? Are you underestimating me, or are you underestimating Sang Liwan?"
Chen Yan sneered without disguising her feelings.
Although she regarded Sang Liwan as her enemy, she could see clearly that Sang Liwan was not someone who would share a husband with anyone else.
Even the Sang Liwan who was always unreasonable would not do such a thing.
I overestimated Jun Mochen because he had such an idea.
In fact, this man is not even as good as Jun Moyi.
Although Jun Moyi seems to have no emotions and seems indifferent to everything, he has never looked at any woman since he married Sang Liwan. Based on this point alone, he is much better than Jun Mochen.
Jun Mochen didn't know what to say to refute Chen Yan, so he decided to keep quiet and ordered his servants to find Sang Liwan.
At this moment, Qingshui suddenly appeared and apologized to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am a servant serving Princess An. I have come to apologize to Your Majesty. Princess An is not feeling well and would like to take her leave first."
The sounds of stringed instruments in the hall stopped at this moment, and everyone's eyes were on Qingshui.
The worry in Jun Mochen's eyes almost became reality.
But before he could speak, it was Chen Yan who stepped forward and said, "Father, since the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, I think we should send the imperial physician to take a look. It would be bad if we delay."
Qingshui guessed correctly. Although the emperor was annoyed with Sang Liwan, he was happy about Yu Shu's matter at the moment. In addition, Chen Yan was so magnanimous that he felt more comfortable in his heart. Naturally, he had no objection.
He nodded and said, "Then send the imperial physician to take a look."
As he spoke, he pointed at Qingshui who was still kneeling, "You lead the way."
"yes."
Qingshui was really worried about Sang Liwan, so she agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chen Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
After a moment of silence, she gently tugged at Jun Mochen's sleeve and said with a half-smile, "Seeing how you look so eagerly, why don't you come along and take a look?"
Jun Mochen was a little confused by Chen Yan's sudden magnanimity and looked at her suspiciously, "You?"
Chen Yan saw the distrustful expression on his face, but her heart remained calm.
"Why don't you go look in the mirror and see the expression on your face? If I don't let you go, sooner or later Father and Mother will see the clues. Or do you think that's glorious?"
Jun Mochen was so stunned by her string of words that he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal. In the end, he could only follow her out in silence.
However, they followed Qingshui for a long time and did not see any trace of Sang Liwan.
Jun Mochen was a little worried. He quickly walked up to Qingshui and asked with a frown, "Where's the princess?"
Qingshui's heart also skipped a beat at this moment.
She looked at the place where Sang Liwan had just sat, but now the place was empty, with no sign of anyone.
Qingshui rubbed his eyes, feeling anxious. "No, the princess was sitting here just now. How could she be gone?"
Jun Mochen also felt something was amiss. He pulled Qingshui aside and asked, "You said the princess was sitting here just now?"
Hearing this, Qingshui nodded with certainty, "Yes, this is the place. I personally helped the princess sit down. I won't be wrong."
But it was very empty here, and I could see nothing at a glance, without seeing a single person.
The few people who came with them looked around but didn't see Sang Liwan. They muttered quietly, "Could it be that Princess An couldn't wait any longer, so she left first?"
"Impossible." Qingshui said firmly, "My princess can't even stand steadily, how could she walk away on her own?"
"That's really strange."
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Hey, have you seen Master Gu? Why is Master Gu gone too?"
Qingshui's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although she is naive, she is not a fool.
Originally, Sang Liwan had not drunk a drop of alcohol tonight, but he felt dizzy for no reason. Now he couldn't even find anyone, and Gu Huaizhi was also missing.
Qingshui felt like a fool if he couldn't figure out that this was a plan against Sang Liwan and Gu Huaizhi.
Jun Mochen also felt something was wrong.
But now is not the time for him to think about those things. The most important thing is to find the person first.
"Let's look around first."
Chen Yan exchanged glances with a eunuch in the crowd.
The eunuch immediately spoke up, "There's a palace nearby. Perhaps Princess An felt uncomfortable sitting here, so she went over to rest."
This may sound far-fetched, but there is indeed no other place to hide people except that palace. Moreover, it is not far away, so there is nothing wrong with going over to take a look.
At this time, everyone present felt that something was wrong, and they felt that this matter was a little strange no matter how they thought about it.
On the way, someone was saying, "This is really strange. How come Princess An and Prince Gu disappeared at the same time?"
"Well, I saw it just now when Princess An left the palace. His Royal Highness Prince An didn't move, but Prince Gu was the first to chase after her."
"this……"
Although this statement seems fine at first glance, upon closer consideration, it becomes somewhat ambiguous.
After all, no matter what Princess An did, Prince An hadn't made a move yet, so why did the Prince of Qi make the first move?
No matter how you look at it, it seems...
Isn't that right?
