Yi Chen left the room.
Yi Chenli waited and waited, but the person who came to see him never appeared.
He had always been her number one priority, but tonight, she hadn't come. Yi Chenli had never been treated so coldly before.
An invisible anxiety churned in Yi Chenli's chest. He tried his best to control his anger, but finally couldn't help but shout at the door, "Li Gui, get in here!"
Li Gui entered cautiously and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your legs, Master?"
At this moment, Yi Chenli's legs were fine, but his body was not.
"Where is An Yuan'er?" Yi Chenli asked, his voice almost coming from his nose.
Li Gui said tremblingly, "Miss An said she would escort Young Master Lan back to his room, and then... she didn't come back."
The chess piece in Yi Chenli's hand instantly turned into powder.
Li Gui's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground in fright.
"Is there no one else in Chenyang Palace? Does she have to personally deliver it? Is she afraid that Lanjing Hall will be lost?" Yi Chenli's tone was incredibly sour at this moment.
Yi Chenli had the upper hand in front of Lan Jingtang today, but no matter how calm he pretended to be on the surface, his heart was already churning with turmoil.
"Tell Lao Yi to go and find out where the person went."
"Yes." Li Gui then went out the door.
The first one was extremely efficient and returned in no time.
Yi Chenli, his face grim, remained hidden in the darkness, exerting immense pressure on the First Elder.
"Master, this... I..."
Yi Chenli looked coldly at Lao Yi: "When did you pick up all these bad habits from Li Gui? You can't even speak properly anymore."
"Speak directly, tell the truth."
Yi Chenli's last bit of patience was about to be exhausted.
The old man, undeterred by death, closed his eyes and said, "This servant found Miss An and Young Master Lan on the city wall. They were looking at the stars and the moon, chatting about their childhood experiences and their future prospects..."
Yi Chenli couldn't listen anymore.
"You, Lan Jingtang, you're ruthless!"
He abducted someone on his very first day at Chenyang Palace. Does he think he's dead?
Yi Chenli wanted to grab An Yuan'er on the spot, but as soon as he moved, the old man was shocked: "Master, you must not. Young Master Lan specifically instructed that you have just applied the medicine and cannot move for the next three days, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain."
Yi Chenli gritted his teeth and said, "It's him again."
However, this time, Yi Chenli had no choice but to listen to him. He knew the importance and urgency of the matter, and he was determined to heal his leg.
The old man advised, "Master, please calm down. Miss An may come to see you tomorrow."
Yi Chenli gritted his teeth, but could only control himself: "I'll endure it!"
Throughout his life, Yi Chenli has always been a master strategist and has never felt so frustrated.
He thought he could endure it for just one day, but for three whole days, Lan Jingtang abducted An Yuan'er.
For the past three days, Lan Jingtang has been saying that Yi Chenli needs to rest and recuperate, and that it is not advisable to disturb him.
He had An Yuan'er show him around Shengjing and visit many places.
The old man had a hard life, risking his life several times to report on it.
"On the first day, Miss An took Young Master Lan to eat roast chicken at the No. 1 Restaurant in Shengjing. The two agreed to eat and drink together and be friends for life."
"The next day, the two strolled around the market, and people on the street often praised them as a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
"The third day..."
"Enough!" Yi Chenli didn't listen to any of these words.
When he got angry, the old man became the pitiful cannon fodder.
