Sang Yan was at Chen Hu's house, fretting to the extreme.
It was almost dawn.
There was no word from He Ying.
Was he all right?
Had Qi Wuya discovered him?
She stood by the door, staring blankly in the direction of the palace.
"Empress, please put your mind at ease."
Seeing her anxiety, Chen Hu stood up to reassure her, "Brother Lv and I have people secretly watching the palace. If there's any slight disturbance, they'd definitely come over immediately to report. Since they haven't come, it must mean everything is fine."
"Right."
Lv Dakuan also joined in to persuade, "Empress, no news is good news."
He dared not repeat to Sang Yan the words He Ying had spoken before entering the palace.
The Emperor and Empress were deeply in love.
The Empress might think that Emperor He would do something foolish, rushing to the palace to desperately search for someone.
But now, the day was breaking, so why was there still no sign of anything?
