After practicing for a bit, it was already noon.
Du Jiu Sheng looked at the sky outside the window and slightly knit his brows, "Why isn't the mute slave back yet?"
Without knowing why, Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat as she said with a frown, "I didn't see the mute slave when I woke up this morning, so I thought that he was working in the palace, could it be that he wasn't?"
"No." Du Jiu Sheng shook his head and said, "Working in the palace is an extra monthly salary. The mute slave is a servant of the cold palace and he only works once a month, which was yesterday."
Du Jiu Sheng's brows knit even tighter as he felt a bit unsettled.
"The mute slave doesn't seem like someone who would cause trouble." Luo Qingchen bit her lip and said, "I feel that he might have met some trouble."
Saying 'trouble' was already light. The mute slave was bullied by the maids at her door that day, so he might have met some danger this time, so he couldn't come back.
"I'll go look for him." Du Jiu Sheng put on his coat and said, "Wait for me in the Northern Cold Palace."
"I'll go with you." Luo Qing Chen said with trembling brows, "Maybe I can help."
"No need."
"Big brother Jiu Sheng!"
Du Jiu Sheng saw her anxious appearance and finally said with a nod, "Then don't talk too much and just come with me."
"Alright!" Luo Qingchen gave a serious nod.
When they came out of the Northern Cold Palace, there was an endless corridor.
There was a thick layer of snow and there was a deep feeling when one stepped on it. There were still footprints of the mute slave along the way.
It was still snowing and the footprints weren't very shallow, which meant that the mute slave hadn't been gone for long.
It should have been around the time she woke up.
But the footprints became more and more shallow and they couldn't be seen when they came to the fork.
When they came to the end of the corridor, there were paths on both sides. The left led to the imperial kitchen and the concubines' chambers, the right led to the imperial medical building and the crown prince's eastern palace.
"Big brother Jiu Sheng, you go left and I'll go right." Luo Qingchen thought about it and said, "To save time, you can come find me if you don't find him and I'll come find you if I don't find him."
Although Luo Qingchen's idea wasn't bad, Du Jiu Sheng still hesitated.
She was not wearing the uniform of a palace maid. If she met some tricky young mistress, she would be in trouble.
"Big brother Jiu Sheng, there's no time to lose."
"Alright." Du Jiu Sheng said with a sigh, "Be careful."
"No matter what, I was brought into the palace by the empress, no one is willing to touch this kind of nail." Luo Qingchen thought about it before saying, "But big brother Jiu Sheng hasn't left Cold North Palace in a long time, so you have to be careful."
"Don't worry."
At the end of the corridor, one of them went to the left and the other to the right.
Luo Qingchen took two steps to the right and couldn't help looking back at Du Jiu Sheng.
In the boundless snow, he walked alone. When the cold wind blew, it seemed so bleak.
"Big brother Jiu Sheng, I hope nothing happens to Slave Ya, I hope we're all fine ….."
She muttered to herself and turned her head to search in the right direction.
Occasionally, they would meet a few palace maids on the way, and they would whisper something to each other. Luo Qingchen narrowed her cold eyes and looked over before quickly leaving.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, she heard the sharp voices of several maids.
"Mute, your foot massaging technique really isn't bad, it makes me feel good."
"Ze, ze, ze! I was beaten like this just for a few tonics, ha, ha, ha ….. But why don't I feel hurt at all, rather I feel disgusted! "
