"A living person disappeared just like that without leaving any traces behind. Could it be that it was really done by the Wolf Demon?" Immediately, there were rustling sounds of discussion in the surroundings.
"That's too scary. It can speak human language and write. If it's not a demon, then what is it? There are so many bloody paw prints. That thing must have died with grievances and came back to take revenge on Fourth Young Miss! "
"…"
"What nonsense!" Consort Qi raised her eyebrows and immediately interrupted these sensational speculations. "This is the imperial palace. With His Majesty's golden dragon guarding it, even a wolf demon wouldn't be able to barge in. That wolf demon has been dead for nine years. Why didn't it take revenge earlier or later? Why did it have to wait until now? I don't believe it! There must be something fishy going on! Mother Hui, you tell me! When did you notice Zhuiyu's disappearance? Also, what happened before she disappeared? Who did she come into contact with? "
Mother Hui hurriedly wiped her tears and said intermittently, "Young Miss hasn't been sleeping well recently. She couldn't sleep when she heard the slightest sound. Thus, she ordered us not to get too close and just to guard outside the hall. This old servant was not at ease, but after thinking about it, there were so many guards around, and this two-story pavilion was four zhang high. Even an expert with qinggong wouldn't be able to fly in. Young Miss shouldn't have any problems, so we obeyed. When I helped Young Miss into the room, it was around 5 pm. After that, I came out to do some work. Around 6 pm, we suddenly heard a sound coming from the room. We were startled and rushed into the room. In the end, we saw that the bed where Young Miss was originally lying on was empty. When we looked again, the tightly shut window was now wide open. Young Miss's red dress slowly floated down from the window … And Young Miss, we couldn't find her anymore …
As for who she came into contact with … Before the incident, Old Consort Yu came and asked if Young Miss was well on behalf of the Thirteenth Princess. At that time, I told her that Young Miss was already asleep. I'm afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to meet. But I didn't expect that Old Consort Yu would insist on meeting her. She even pushed the door open to take a look. When she saw that Young Miss was indeed asleep, she didn't have the nerve to disturb her. She withdrew and said that she would leave first today and come back tomorrow. She even ordered us to pass on her good intentions to Young Miss. "
Old Consort Yu? Ning Shu repeated this name in her mind and asked, "What time is it?"
Mother Hui pondered for a moment and couldn't remember. Xiang Jin, on the other hand, remembered, "It's a quarter past nine! At that time, I was wondering why Old Princess Consort Yu was coming so late at night. Therefore, when I went downstairs to welcome you, I curiously looked at the hourglass. "
Ning Shu thought for a moment. "Then how did Old Princess Consort Yu come and leave? Did you take anything with you when you left? "
"I think they came in a palanquin. When they came, they brought some medicinal herbs and tonics to calm the mind. When they left, they didn't take anything with them."
…
After that, he asked a few more questions, but he didn't get any more valuable information. Imperial Concubine Qi ordered the imperial bodyguards to immediately search the entire Fragrant Palace Hall inch by inch. She didn't believe that there really was a demon with wings that could fly in and take her away.
After Cao Hou and His Majesty heard about it, they sent another 300 guards to assist. However, nearly five hundred people had turned this Fragrant Palace Hall, which was neither too big nor too small, upside down. Even the roots of every blade of grass were peeled off, for fear of any hidden suspense.
Ning Shu followed the imperial bodyguards, crouching, crawling, or standing on ladders. She wanted to knock down every brick and search every corner to find a secret passage or mechanism that could hide someone.
Unfortunately, she didn't find anything.
In the novel, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies and flew away hand in hand. Could it be that the Fourth Young Miss of the Qi Family had also followed in their footsteps?
