"She fled into Wuzhou Garden?"
This news made Chu Qianli freeze instantly.
"Your subordinate does indeed believe so. The back door of Wuzhou Garden has a patch of flowers stained with something black. Your subordinate has studied it carefully; it is black blood vomited by a poisoned person."
Qingmei and Hongchou had searched every corner of the Xuan King's Mansion several times.
There were only two places in this mansion that they were not allowed to go.
One was the Xuan King's Wuzhou Garden, and the other was the Fourteenth Prince's Yujing Pavilion.
Although there were no explicit rules, everyone in the mansion knew these two places.
Women were not allowed to enter them casually.
However, there was one exception: Xiao Yao.
"But he didn't look like he was lying."
The "he" Chu Qianli was referring to was naturally the Xuan King, Feng Yexuan.
The Xuan King had even issued a kill order and dispatched the Four Killers to search for the person. This did not look like a joke, nor did it look like he was trying to fool her.
Moreover, from her understanding of Feng Yexuan, how could he possibly try to coax someone in such a manner?
"The Xuan King should not know Fu Ning's whereabouts."
Although Qingmei did not know much about the Xuan King, she knew that the aloof and peerless Xuan King disdained playing such tricks with them.
If the person was truly in his territory, and if he truly wanted to protect her, he would most likely have directly told the Empress, forbidding anyone from touching Fu Ning.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's possible that the Xuan King himself doesn't know Fu Ning is in Wuzhou Garden?"
After all, Wuzhou Garden was not solely inhabited by the Xuan King.
"But who in Wuzhou Garden would dare to hide someone who has been issued a kill order and is being pursued, behind the Xuan King's back?"
"That's not necessarily true."
There was someone who might not necessarily dare not.
Chu Qianli suddenly turned to leave.
Qingmei and Hongchou followed closely behind her.
Hongchou said urgently, "Your Majesty, the matter is not yet clear. Rushing over now... Your Majesty, when the King left today, your subordinate noticed his expression was very unusual."
"That's right, Your Majesty. If you go now, will it..."
"Fu Ning cannot live in this world!" Regardless of the consequences, Chu Qianli was determined to find Fu Ning at this moment.
She must eliminate her!
The guards at the entrance of Wuzhou Garden dared not stop Chu Qianli.
Likewise, Qingmei and Hongchou, who were with Chu Qianli, did not dare to stop her.
"Your Majesty, the Prince went out and has not returned," the guard reported, wondering what the Empress was so angrily rushing over for.
"Yexuan is not here?" Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, her mind already pondering certain matters.
Knowing that Feng Yexuan was not present, she not only did not stop but instead walked even faster.
"Yes, the Prince left early in the morning and has not returned since."
Chu Qianli pondered deeply.
Feng Yexuan had left her Qianyun Pavilion not long ago.
After Fu Long had left, Feng Yexuan had stayed behind. Chu Qianli thought he stayed to comfort her, but he did not.
He merely sat in the side hall of Qianyun Pavilion, shared a few cups of tea with her, and then left with a somber expression.
He did not offer a single word of comfort.
Chu Qianli felt extremely uneasy. At this time, she should not have provoked anyone in the Xuan King's Wuzhou Garden again.
But Fu Ning knew too many of her secrets; she could not be allowed to live!
Since Feng Yexuan was not here, it was the best time for her to act.
After entering Wuzhou Garden, she did not rush to find Feng Yexuan. Instead, she looked at the guards and asked coldly:
"There is a girl named Xiao Yao in your courtyard. Where does she live?"
