Chapter 517 - 496: Second Update
Noble Consort Wen had not yet continued to speak when Old Master Wen Kang hurriedly burst in, frantic and distraught.
"Still not found?"
Noble Consort Wen was about to speak when Old Master Wen Kang, burning with anxiety, brought in several of his trusted aides.
"I only asked you to keep an eye on Fu Gong, and you couldn’t even manage that," Old Master Wen Kang said, unable to bear saying more. If Zheng Haoyuan could not be found, proving Zheng Congyuan was not the Child of Heavenly Selection would be enough. Moreover, among the princes, only Zheng Congyuan and Zheng Haoyuan remained. If it was not Zheng Congyuan, communication wasn’t necessary since others would naturally assume it was Zheng Haoyuan.
But Zheng Haoyuan had disappeared at this critical moment, which was frightening not merely because the young man might have left out of mischief. It was feared that he might have been kidnapped by someone with an agenda.
Although there were no signs indicating it yet, notably from Zheng Congyuan’s side, his people were watching closely with no movement detected.
"It seems he must be no longer in the palace, outside the palace..."
"Brother, don’t panic, there seems to be a clue." Noble Consort Wen finally interjected, sharing her recent suspicions.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen Kang immediately turned to the guard on the floor and asked.
"Did anyone see what those people looked like?"
Noble Consort Wen felt it was unlikely, but now, after almost turning the entire Imperial Palace upside down without a single clue, she had suddenly thought of this possibility. After all, Nian Ru, being utterly weak, how could he possibly have taken Zheng Haoyuan away?
