At this time, Pei Guanlan's personal maid hurried over from a distance, stepped forward, and whispered something into her ear.

After hearing this, Pei Guanlan was shocked.

The shock that he couldn't even hide.

"Really?" She lowered her voice, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, empress." The maid replied.

"..." Pei Guanlan's eyes changed, and she looked at the third prince sitting on the other side of the emperor.

The flirtatious third prince was drinking wine, squinting his eyes, and kept staring at the graceful dancer on the stage, completely oblivious to those around him.

Didn't know that someone was looking at him, after all, his eyeballs were completely glued to the dancer on stage.

Pei Guanlan didn't say anything, but quickly looked away.

Sitting upright, as if nothing had happened.

This scene was seen by Sun Muzhen, she followed her gaze and looked over, before she had time to think carefully

Her personal maid also came, with an anxious look on her face.

"My Lady."

"What's up?"

"Master, Master Zheng... ran away!"

Master Zheng is the half-immortal she has been raising in private all the time. Her divination skills are superb, and what she says is the most accurate among all the half-immortals.

Sun Muzhen has always trusted him, and almost believes in his words.

He is under her cover, and she has never treated him badly, with gold, silver, jewelry, fertile farmland and house land, everything that one expects to find.

but now

Sun Muzhen took a deep breath, glanced at the emperor, and said, "Have you looked for it? Did he leave suddenly? Can you leave a letter before leaving?"

I can't be sure that he has counted something again. He has something to do, so he doesn't necessarily have to run away.

The maid said: "Your Majesty, we have sent someone to chase after you, but...but..."

"but what?"

"But..." the maid faltered, "but... in the process of chasing, someone saw... the master went to the direction of the prison mansion..."

The prison mansion, as we all know, is Pei Tingwen's domain.

He is in charge of the Prison Office, which cannot be solved in various places, and all the major cases that come up for confession are all managed by his people.

Now the master went there...

"And when I went in..." The maid didn't seem to know how to word it properly, "Nobody in the Prison Mansion didn't stop him, it seems like they all know him..."

"..." Sun Muzhen's first reaction was disbelief, "Impossible, are you sure you saw it clearly?"

"Hui Niang Niang, you can't be wrong, our people followed all the way, and several pairs of eyes watched it with their own eyes."

Sun Muzhen raised her chin slightly, her expression was cold, and she didn't show any disrespect during the dinner.

The singing and dancing on the stage was still the same, she took a sip of wine and said: "Keep watching, and if there is any news, tell Ben Gong immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the maid finished her report, she left in a hurry.

Pei Guanlan, who seemed to be enjoying the singing and dancing, did not miss her departure from the corner of her eye.

The two people who had never dealt with each other sat and said nothing.

With different thoughts, drink wine quickly.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, singing and dancing remained the same.

Late at night.

The full moon, as vast as a jade plate, gradually hides behind the clouds. The soft white halo illuminates the dark night, and the stars twinkle like fireflies under the blooming osmanthus forest, dancing freely.

In the distance, gorgeous fireworks bloom and set off in the sky.

There was the noise of the crowd, but the sound became quieter after a long distance.

This large soft and safe osmanthus forest is extraordinarily quiet, like an illusory dream.
