Chapter 335: Son Missing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Qingluan didn’t care about it at all. She disregarded what the emperor said as if it didn’t matter to her

She didn’t need the Gu family to maintain her position and status.

The emperor, who had never been in her shoes, couldn’t possibly empathize and make choices for her.

She wouldn’t easily let go of her grudge against the Gu family.

She simply brushed off the emperor’s scolding, and it went in one ear and out the other.

Afterward, she gracefully exited the study.

Gu Zhicheng followed her, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Gu Qingluan pretended not to notice him and looked towards the courtyard. Not seeing Xiaonan and Yuanxi, her heart tightened slightly. She turned to the palace maid standing outside and asked, “Where are the two boys who came with me?”

“They are resting in the side hall,” one of the palace maids explained.

Gu Qingluan’s expression eased a bit as she instructed her to lead the way.

The palace maid guided her to the side hall.

However, there was no sign of the children inside.

The palace maid was visibly surprised and said, “I… 1 brought the two young masters to the side hall as per His Majesty’s orders after you entered the study.”

Gu Qingluan’s eyes turned icy, and she suddenly released a powerful aura.

The entire palace could feel the oppressive atmosphere.

Gu Zhicheng, who hadn’t left yet, and the few people in the study were all taken aback.

“What’s going on?” The Crown Prince was the first to emerge from the study and happened to see Gu Qingluan exiting the side hall, her face filled with anger.

Seeing her in such a state, the Crown Prince’s heart skipped a beat.

It wasn’t the first time he had seen Miss Gu in this fierce demeanor. The only thing that could make her this angry was her son.

So…

Did something happen to her child?

Gu Qingluan looked at the people who followed the Crown Prince out of the study, and a cold light flickered in her dark eyes. “Did you all take Xiaonan and the other boy?”

Emperor Xuanzong was also taken aback, and he looked at the palace maid waiting at the door, asking, “What’s going on?”

The palace maid who had guided Gu Qingluan stammered, “I… 1 brought the two young masters to the side hall to rest, but now both of them are gone.” “Could they have gone off to play somewhere?” Emperor Xuanzong furrowed his brows and said, “Someone, immediately go and find the two young masters!”

He glanced at Duke Dingbei and Liu Miaowu from the corner of his eye.

Both of them wore maliciously gleeful expressions and nothing else.

Emperor Xuanzong had reasons to suspect the two of them, and Gu Qingluan naturally shared those suspicions.

“Why are you staring at us? Your son is missing, and you think we’ll find him for you?” Liu Miaowu taunted.

“You shouldn’t get mixed up in this, or you’ll witness the Duke of Dingbei’s estate facing utter destruction!”

“This is outrageous!” Duke Dingbei’s face turned red with anger.

This stubborn girl was indeed overly arrogant!

Did she believe that she could wipe out the entire Duke Dingbei’s mansion?

To do so, she first have to hand the Dingbei Army!

However, Gu Qingluan paid no attention to his reaction. She leaped onto the rooftop in a single bound.

Her consciousness extended like a tide in all directions.

In an instant, Gu Qingluan noticed that two pieces of glazed tiles on the rooftop of the study had been lifted.

Combined with Liu Miaowu’s inexplicable beating earlier, Gu Qingluan suspected that her sons might be responsible. They must have hidden on the rooftop to eavesdrop.

Not much time had passed since Liu Miaowu was assaulted.

In such a short time, where could they have gone?

She had instructed them to wait obediently, and they wouldn’t have run off on their own.

But if it wasn’t their decision to leave, who could have taken them away so silently?

Xiaonan and Yuanxi were no ordinary children.

Any commotion caused by their abduction should have been impossible for her to miss.

Gu Qingluan’s mental perception encountered interference within a palace located to the west..
