"Continue to investigate."
Murong Yu didn't believe it.
'How could someone cross the water leaving no trace like a goose?'
"Did the East Chu State send back any news?"
"We just passed it back, but there is still no trace of the woman the Prince was looking for."
"Continue to look for her.
The entire East Chu Kingdom, don't miss a single place."
"Yes. My Lord, the subordinates don't understand, what is the woman..."
"Wuying, you do talk a lot..."
Murong Yu's handsome face was a little bit cold.
"Forgive this subordinate.
I talked too much."
Wuying turned into a nighthawk and melted into the night.
Murong Yu took out a scroll from some calligraphy box, and slowly unfolded it, and a few softness appeared on his cold face.
Recalling the meeting in the Peach Blossom Alley that day, she was bathed in the bright spring light, bright and beautiful, but cold in her facial expressions, more seductive than the her appearance under him that night.
He stared at the watery, bright apricot eyes that seemed to be talking:
'Even if you dig three feet in the ground, this King will find you!'
...
It wasn't until noon that Muron Ci heard from Qin Ruo that Concubine Xiao was going to host a Palace Flowers Banquet in the Royal Garden of the Harem with a hundred flowers(ladies).
Qin Ruo persuades worriedly:
"Your Highness, it's better to think of a solution real quick."
It's no wonder that His Royal Highness is so angry.
There are already two good ladies in the East Palace.
He has been annoyed by the many annoyances regarding the Crown Princess.
If there are more women, princesses and consort concubines, then His Royal Highness can't do her business freely.
In addition, the Regent made it clear that he would go to the East Palace to take part in the banquet.
'With his strength, is there room for His Highness to refuse?'
The Palace banquet was held in the evening, but those noble ladies and famous ladies would enter the palace from the afternoon.
At this time, ladies from prestigious families entered the palace one after another.
Ruyi looked at Qin Ruo helplessly,
"Qin Ruo, your brain is so good, you quickly think of a way."
Qin Ruo shook her head with her mouth flat,
"I can't think of anything..."
At this time, the insider's attendant's announcement came from the outside:
"Your Royal Highness, the Prince Regent sent someone to deliver a message for Your Royal Highness.
The message says: 'Please go to the Royal Garden in an hour' ".
When Murong Ci heard this, he was even more upset and annoyed.
According to Murong Yu's overbearing and arrogant temperament, he would definitely not let her off easily at the Palace Banquet.
Sometimes she paced back and forth anxiously, sometimes rubbed her eyebrows annoyingly, sometimes closed her eyes and meditated...but still Murong Ci couldn't think of anything good.
Qin Ruo suggested:
"Your Royal Highness, why don't you say that you are feeling unwell once you get there?"
"If Your Royal Highness claims that she is sick, the Regent will send an imperial doctor to treat her.
Wouldn't she be exposed right away?"
Ruyi said.
"Your Royal Highness will go to the Palace Banquet genuinely, and when the Regent will make a random order of food. Your Royal Highness may say that she has an hidden illness, so that the ladies will retreat."
Qin Ruo said again.
"Is this all right?"
Ruyi questioned.
"Ruyi, change clothes for this Prince"
Murongci walked towards the bedroom, her brows covered with haze.
