A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Girl, what's your name? Forget it, it's useless to ask. Mom has already named you Qin Sangsang. But are you really from the capital?" Caiwei broke the silence first, her tone revealing her yearning for the capital.

Yi Duoer just replied lightly with "hmm", then stopped talking, closed her eyes, and let her thoughts drift away.

She was thinking, she had been missing for so long, and she didn't know if anyone had noticed her. Yi Duoer sighed heavily.

This is not modern times. Without relatives around, naturally no one will notice that I am missing.

If she hadn't seen Chu Jingchen with Shen Mingzhu, she might have still been hoping for a lucky break. Chu Jingchen would definitely be the first to notice that she was missing, and then would look for her all over the world.

But now it seems that it is impossible. Maybe they are even going to talk about marriage.

When Yi Duoer thought of Chu Jingchen, her heart felt like it was stabbed hard. Tears flowed down her face involuntarily and a sharp pain came from her heart.

It was the first time she had deeply loved someone, her first love, but she didn't expect it to end so abruptly, and the person she loved so much deceived her.

"Chu Jingchen, I wish you to give birth to ten sons." This was her most vicious curse.

Meanwhile, in the capital, a gloomy atmosphere reigned within the Prince Regent's Palace. Chu Jingchen searched day and night for news of Yi Duo'er. Over the course of several days, a beard had grown around the corners of his mouth, and his face was covered in a haggard, weary expression. He seemed to have lost his soul.

He sat there blankly, lifeless. Only when his men came to report, thinking there was news about Yi Duoer, would his eyes suddenly brighten, but every time he was disappointed. The rest of the time, his eyes were as gloomy as ice, chilling.

At this time, the Ninth Princess said with a worried look on her face:

"Duo'er is missing, and even An Tingfeng is nowhere to be found. Did they elope?" In the past few days, they all gathered in the Regent's Palace, even Yi Yuanxiao was there, and everyone's face showed a worried and anxious expression.

The Ninth Princess' words plunged everyone into deep thought, though most people didn't quite believe it. Chu Jingchen was even less convinced. However, he knew that something must be wrong with An Tingfeng. He knew that the woman in the prison was in cahoots with him. Now he had mysteriously disappeared again.

This matter became even more confusing.

But Chu Junye said in a tone of blame to Chu Jingchen: "Duo'er was last seen at your house. I heard that Shen Mingzhu was driven out by your people, and her clothes were in disarray. Since you can't protect her, don't take her away from me!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Chu Jingchen in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

Li Yue's eyes, originally filled with admiration, now turned into an expression of misjudgment. She said, "Is what the Third Prince said true? Brother Chen, you disappoint me so much. Even if you want to marry a wife and take a concubine, you can't lie to Duo'er, especially with someone as domineering as Shen Mingzhu."

Chu Jingchen was already extremely annoyed at the moment, and now facing their accusations, his heart was even worse. He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger, and said angrily:

"Get out..." At this moment, he had been tortured by pain and anxiety and lost his mind. He was like a mad but wounded beast, suppressing the anger and sadness in his heart.

When everyone saw that his eyes were instantly bloodshot, they looked so horrible that they didn't dare to say another word and retreated one after another.

After everyone left, Chu Jingchen seemed to have been drained of his strength. He sat on the stool blankly, staring blankly at the red heart knot in his hand. He murmured softly:

"Duo'er, where are you? Don't leave me." Although he had mobilized most of the troops to search, Qichao was so big that if Yi Duo'er did not show up, the search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This was also what Chu Jingchen was most worried about. Just when he was immersed in this pain, Qi Feng walked into the front hall and came to him.

"Duo'er came to me before and asked for Huishen Powder, and I gave it to her." Qi Feng's tone was very gentle, and his expression was solemn and respectful.

She had completely lost the relaxed tone she had used when joking with Chu Jingchen before, because she knew that Chu Jingchen was now like a fire bomb with a pulled fuse, ready to ignite at any moment.

Ever since Yi Duo'er disappeared, the entire palace was shrouded in gloom and was as depressing as a pool of stagnant water. All the servants were trembling with fear and dared not move in front of him, fearing that they would be beaten to death if they did anything to displease their master. How could they dare to be presumptuous in the slightest?
