"Empress, please calm down!" De'an had already arrived in the hall at some point. Seeing several people kneeling on the ground, too afraid to speak, his eyes turned, and he quickly came up with a plan.
"Empress! The servant heard that Pang Chu left merely a quarter of an hour ago. Surely the Crown Prince should still be in the palace now. In such a short time, it's impossible to leave the palace. Why not let the servants and palace maids search all the major halls, we're bound to find some clues."
This method coincided with the Empress's thoughts. She immediately nodded, "Leave this matter to you! Remember, carry my Imperial Decree, and there's no need to explain the reason. If anyone dares to disobey, bind them up and wait for my decision."
"Summon Shen Shikang, Qian Licao... to enter the palace immediately!"
Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, feeling the cold wind blowing, and his slightly confused mind immediately became clear.
