Pei Mingzhu's expression was quite interesting when her pride and joy were overshadowed and she was even lectured.
She stared intently at Shen Tangning, suppressing all her emotions, and forced a smile: "Mrs. Chi, I've learned a lot!"
Having said that, he felt too ashamed to stay any longer, raised his whip, and spurred his horse away.
Having angered Pei Mingzhu, Shen Tangning composed herself and decided to continue searching for Chi Yan's whereabouts. After walking a short distance, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
It's that little eunuch!
His hurried steps and suspicious behavior suggested he was rushing to meet someone.
Her expression hardened, and she subconsciously tightened the reins, wanting to follow. Suddenly, she stopped and raised her hand to call over a guard: "Have you seen that eunuch? You secretly follow him and see who he goes to see. Be careful and don't expose yourself."
"yes."

He could put aside his current business for the time being. Chi Yan was also worried about Shen Tangning. Although there were guards everywhere in the hunting grounds, he figured nothing would happen. But today was different. Everything was still unsettled, and he was still uneasy.
"You guys keep an eye on this area. Let me know immediately if anything happens." Chi Yan turned to the people next to him and gave them a few instructions before mounting his horse.
The hunting grounds were large, and there were many people there today. Chi Yan searched for a while but couldn't find Shen Tangning. Then he heard hurried hoofbeats approaching from behind. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Ci.
"Phew!" The other person stopped in front of him, their tone tinged with complaint, "I've been looking for you for ages, and I've finally found you!"
Before the smile could even reach his eyes, seeing his serious expression, Chi Yan couldn't help but straighten his expression: "What happened?"
Shen Ci glanced around warily, and seeing that no one was around, he frowned and lowered his voice: "My elder sister asked me to tell you that the Third Prince has disguised himself as a eunuch and infiltrated His Majesty's inner circle. I don't know what kind of evil scheme he's plotting. You should be careful!"
Chi Yan was taken aback and subconsciously looked around: "Where is she?"
"Who?" Shen Ci was a little confused. "You mean the Third Prince? How would I know where he is?"
Chi Yan glared at him, annoyed. "Where is your sister right now?"
He opened his mouth, then said sheepishly, "I don't know either. That Miss Pei insisted on having me go hunting with her! My sister told me to come find you, and she went to have a match with her herself!"
With a deep frown, Chi Yan's expression darkened: "How could you leave her there all alone?"
Shen Ci's eyes widened in surprise: "I came here to warn you!" He suddenly felt uneasy, and his tone softened, "In such a short time, will something have happened to my sister?"
"Shut your jinx!" Chi Yan glared at him, feeling inexplicably anxious. "Where did you two finally part ways? Take me there!"
He specifically assigned several guards to protect her closely, so there shouldn't be any problems.
——
Shen Tangning waited in place for a while, but the guards did not return for a long time, and her eyelids twitched.
It's been so long, could something have happened?
It shouldn't be that bad. These guards are all quite skilled, and Wenqi is one of the best among them. He is also cautious and prudent in his actions, which is why she deliberately sent him to follow them.
Seeing that she looked unwell, the other guards suggested, "Young Madam, why don't we go outside first?"
Shen Tangning also thought it was a good idea. This place was full of dangers, and it was safer outside in comparison.
