"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 97 She suddenly disappeared, and he panicked.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The two were having a meal when the tyrant suddenly said something that surprised not only Qin Su, but also the eunuch Li who was serving him. He subconsciously looked at the young girl next to him.

The little girl looked perfectly normal; there was no indication that she hadn't been sleeping well.

Qin Su blinked, not answering directly: "Why do you ask that?"

Chu Jiang glanced at her somewhat listless pupils, then looked away: "You've become ugly."

Eunuch Li: !!!

Qin Su was stunned for a moment, but she wasn't angry or shy. Instead, she said to the system in her heart, "I was right, wasn't I? He's very thoughtful."

I thought the matter was over, but as I got up to leave, the man suddenly said, "If you want to go home, have them take you back."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang's cold, intimidating eyes swept over Eunuch Li, who was about to intervene, silencing him completely. Finally, Li could only force a forced smile and a forced smile: "Miss Qin, if you're not comfortable with where you're staying, please feel free to ask. We..."

"go home."

The words "Chu Jiang" nearly drove Eunuch Li to his death, but he had no choice but to add, "Going back is also an option."

Even so, his pleading eyes were hard to ignore.

The young girl, still sitting at the table, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I'd like to try the imperial chef's cooking again. Can I stay a few more days?"

As soon as he said that, you could almost hear Eunuch Li sighing in relief: "Of course, of course, Miss Qin, whatever you want to eat, we have it. The imperial chefs would be happy to cook for you!"

Then she looked at Chu Jiang and said, "Your Highness, you see, Miss Qin isn't in a hurry to leave, so perhaps..."

Chu Jiang didn't turn around, his voice indifferent: "Whatever."

Only he knew how fast his heart was beating when she said she was willing to stay.

Seemingly because of the girl's "sensibility," Eunuch Li's attitude improved even more. When Qin Su pretended to be "curious" about the Seventh Prince's childhood, he showed a rare bit of sincerity and chatted with her for a few minutes.

Even though she quickly realized she shouldn't bring it up and he changed the subject, Qin Su still overheard some key clues.

"I understand, thank you, sir. I will not tell His Highness."

The girl's gentle and lovely assurance inexplicably relieved Eunuch Li. Although it was just a few words of appreciation, gossiping about His Highness the Crown Prince behind his back was still very dangerous.

"Thank you for your consideration, young lady."

After Li Gonggong finished speaking and left, he did not notice the girl's eyes and brows which became somewhat cold after he turned away.

"Looks like we'll have to think of another way..."

Qin Su seemed to be talking to herself, but the system knew what the host was worried about.

Who would have thought that, apart from Eunuch Li, who had served the "Crown Prince" since childhood, everyone else in the entire Eastern Palace, including the wet nurse, had been replaced, leaving no one behind.

Actually, there's another place, the Phoenix Palace. The Crown Prince lived with the Empress when he was young; those around the Empress should know about it.

Most of the information it provided last night came from the elders of Fengyi Palace.

Qin Su nodded in agreement, then silenced the system with a single sentence: "Do you think I'll be arrested as a spy if I try to contact people from Fengyi Palace?"

system:!!!-
Chu Jiang had a rare free afternoon, so he returned to the East Palace early. The first thing he said upon returning was, "Where is she?"

Eunuch Li naturally knew who he was asking about, and said with a smile, "Miss Qin did some embroidery after her afternoon nap, and she should be in her room now. The palace servants have already gone to call her."

Chu Jiang didn't speak, but his lack of rebuttal showed that this was his meaning.

It was supposed to be a very simple little thing, but after waiting for a long time, the palace servant still hadn't returned.

The man put down his teacup, but Eunuch Li's heart pounded: "Should this old servant go and take a look..."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Chu Jiang stood up after saying this, but at the same time, a familiar-looking palace maid rushed in in a panic: "Your Highness, Miss Qin is not in her room."

Eunuch Li frowned: "Not in the room? Then hurry up and go find her!"

Surprisingly, the palace maid didn't move: "We've searched, we've searched several places she frequents, but we haven't found her..."

"how come……"

Before Eunuch Li could finish saying "like this," a gust of wind swept past him, and when he looked up, he could only see the tall, thin figure disappearing at the entrance of the main hall.

For some reason, Eunuch Li's heart suddenly sank, and he scolded, "What kind of work are you doing? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on her!"

Now everyone knows that "Miss Qin" is the Seventh Prince's medicine; only with her around can his emotions be calmed.

They were already on edge when the Seventh Prince said he was going to send her away this morning. If something were to happen to her in the Eastern Palace... good heavens, they'd all be buried with her!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go find it!"

When Eunuch Li gets fierce, he's truly ruthless: "If you can't find them, go to the Censorate to receive your punishment!"
-
Chu Jiang walked quickly and arrived at Qin Su's room in the blink of an eye.

Although she had been in the palace for several days, he had hardly ever set foot there.

Or rather, if she hadn't suddenly disappeared, he would never have come in.

The room had a typical palace layout, and the scent of the young woman still lingered, as if to say that she had only been gone for a short while.

Chu Jiang quickly searched around, but found nothing.

When Eunuch Li arrived with his men, he had just come out of the room. His handsome face looked unusually serious and sinister, making everyone who saw him want to kneel down and kowtow to him.

Ye Fan also received the news and arrived late: "What's going on?"

"Miss Qin has disappeared."

Eunuch Li answered reluctantly, saying that he actually didn't want to say a word if he could.

"How could that be? Where could she have gone?" Ye Fan was equally surprised. If she had gone out, he would definitely be the first to know.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Miss Qin is definitely still in the Eastern Palace, there won't be any..."

"Where is it?" Chu Jiang's words were so somber they sent chills down one's spine, effectively shutting down any attempts at comfort from Ye Fan...

"Find her immediately. I need to see her within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Otherwise..."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as Chu Jiang's icy gaze swept over them, and they almost immediately replied, "Yes!"

The noise was so loud that even the birds in the trees were startled and flew away.

In an instant, everyone in the Eastern Palace was busy. Some even ran to open the box and asked, "Miss Qin, where are you?"

Chu Jiang was about to leave when a sudden thought struck him. He stepped out of the bustling crowd and headed in an unexpected direction—

"Thump!"

"pat"

"Snapped,"

A strange thud came from behind the artificial hill, followed by a girl's frustrated voice: "Ugh, why is this so difficult? It looks so easy for everyone else..."

"what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a deep, cold male voice came from behind, startling the little girl who was "outwitting" the pebbles.

Turning around and seeing that familiar, handsome face, she instinctively smiled: "How did you get here... ah—"

Before she could finish speaking, the man yanked her up from the ground and pulled her into a tight embrace—
