Chapter 82
"Those are probably the crazy concubines in the Cold Palace over there. Don't worry about them." Zhu Hanyu was taken aback for a moment, but then said nonchalantly.
"Really? I must have misheard." Xu Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had thought it was impossible for Li Zhiwei. Li Zhiwei should be recuperating at the Li family right now.
Wei Jing'an finally found Lin Ziyi and rushed forward in fright.
"Madam, are you alright?" Wei Jing'an was also startled when he saw Lin Ziyi's haggard appearance.
It's only been two days since I last saw her, how did she manage to get herself into such a state?
"Husband, sob sob sob..." Lin Ziyi could no longer hold back her tears when she saw Wei Jing'an. She didn't know what had happened.
Why did I suddenly lose consciousness? Why did Li Zhiwei disappear?
Lin Ziyi was terrified. He was worried that Li Zhiwei had been kidnapped, and he was also worried that Li Zhiwei might be a dangerous person who wanted to harm the Emperor and others.
"It's alright, it's alright." Wei Jing'an didn't care that they were still in the palace at this moment, and immediately hugged the person in his arms to comfort him.
Although Lin Ziyi usually seemed carefree, Wei Jing'an knew that his wife was actually a timid young girl.
She is a simple person, without many ulterior motives.
Xu Heming had just stepped into the house when he saw the two embracing.
Xu Heming frowned at first, but then, remembering what Lin had just experienced, he didn't say anything.
They just started looking around the room.
No signs of a struggle were found.
On the dressing table, there were two trays of various kinds of jewelry.
That person was clearly not after money.
"Uh-huh, excuse me!"
Xu Heming didn't want to disturb the two of them, but he had some questions for Lin Ziyi.
I had no choice but to speak up.
Upon hearing Xu Heming's voice, Lin Ziyi quickly pushed Wei Jing'an away. When she saw that it was Xu Heming, she suddenly remembered how alluring Xu Heming had been earlier that day, and blushed.
"Does Your Highness have something to say?" Wei Jing'an asked, blocking Lin Ziyi's path with obvious displeasure.
"Well, Mrs. Lin, what were you doing before you found out about Miss Li's disappearance?" Xu Heming asked, ignoring Wei Jing'an's attitude, looking at Lin Ziyi.
"After the banquet, Consort De and the other ladies presented me and Sister Li with many pieces of jewelry. Most of them simply put them in our hair. Her Majesty the Empress granted us permission to do our hair and makeup here. Two palace maids helped us with our hair and makeup, and then they placed all these things here. I sat here, and Sister Li sat here. After we finished our hair and makeup, the palace maids left, and we exchanged a few more words." Lin Ziyi took a deep breath and recounted everything that had happened between the two of them.
"I was woken up by a palace maid. At the time, I didn't know what had happened. I just found myself lying on the ground when I woke up," Lin Ziyi added after a moment's thought.
"Look at the jewelry on that tray, is there anything missing?" Xu Heming said, then walked around the room again, and walked to the window.
Xu Heming frowned upon seeing some powder.
A corner of the cold palace
"Master, that woman has been calling for a long time. Do you want to go see her?" Mo Yu, dressed in palace attire, stood to the side and asked softly.
"Let her shout." Liu Ruyan sat there, calmly sipping her tea, not taking Li Zhiwei's shouts to heart.
After all, this is the Cold Palace, and ordinary people would never be able to appear in this vicinity.
Even if Li Zhiwei screams until she's hoarse, no one will find out that she's being held captive here.
"Master, what if the Emperor comes looking for us..." Mo Yu asked with some concern.
This is, after all, the imperial palace. Since Li Zhiwei has appeared in the palace, she cannot simply disappear for no reason.
"Have someone send a message to the Empress, saying that Miss Li has something to attend to and has left the palace," Liu Ruyan said calmly.
