Chapter 339 (1/2)

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it's a day of national celebration. Today, his fifth highness is going to get married. Before dawn, people are waiting in the street to watch, and the Yamen of each department almost stayed up all night. Finally, the process is finalized to determine the details.

The great imperial concubine was so excited that she wanted to marry her younger sister. Shan Ning was still in a dream. She opened her eyes vaguely to see her get out of bed and turn over. She said vaguely, ”when is this? What do you want to do?”

”It's getting late. Today's fifth wedding, the bride has to prepare ahead of time. Ho, I tell you you don't understand. I'm in trouble. I won't tell you. You should get up early. Today is a good day. Don't go to bed.”

Shan Ning opened his eyes, yawned and yelled at her, ”don't walk around barefoot, Chunying, put on your shoes for your master.”

The imperial concubine hurriedly packed up and called the master to serve Zhou Leping. She washed and dressed up, touched her red wedding dress, and her smile deepened.

But soon she couldn't laugh. She knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer.

At first, the imperial concubine thought that she had overslept, so she asked people to wait for her to knock. But after a while, when she knocked again, there was still no one to open it. This was a bit wrong. The imperial concubine was worried. If no one opened it, she had to be kicked. When the door was kicked in, the room was empty, and there was no one.

”What's the matter? Anyone here? Where have you been? ”

The maidservant looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, Qi Shushu shook his head and said he didn't know.

”What are you doing? Go and find them all. And who was on duty last night? ”

There was a rush to find someone in the imperial palace. The imperial concubine pulled Shan Ning out of the quilt and said, ”you're still sleeping. Get up. Something's wrong!”

Shan Ning reluctantly opened his eyes, ”what's the matter? Is it hard for the bride to disappear?”

The great imperial concubine nodded heavily with tears, ”it's gone! Zhou Leping is gone! I've looked up and down in the house, but there's none! ”

Shan Ning immediately woke up, comforting the imperial concubine and putting on her clothes. ”How can it be gone? What about the man on duty yesterday? You don't see where anyone's going? ”

The big imperial concubine said that she had asked, but she was three feet away from digging, but she was so quiet that she was gone.

Shan Ning was very frightened. But Zhou Leping looked at the place where he lived. After careful inspection inside and outside, he finally found a hole in the window with the thickness of his index finger. This makes it clear that someone should have confused Zhou Leping with smoke and then led him away.

He called the people on duty last night and said that they had not found anything. There were no suspicious people and so on. He didn't know why people disappeared for no reason.

The person on duty near Zhou Leping's room said that he seemed to see someone break in last night. He went to check with a lantern, but he didn't see anyone. I don't know if someone broke in at that time.
