It was not yet dark when Yue Ke felt that Gumei had been out for too long. Could it be that the Crown Prince had returned? Had Gumei stayed in the study?
Although Yue Ke felt it was not appropriate to act rashly at this moment, why they had come to the Crown Prince's Mansion was crystal clear to both Yue Ke and Gumei.
Anxiety and unease made Yue Ke very anxious. She went out several times but did not see any trace of Gumei.
Moreover, Yue Ke noticed that the inner courtyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion was oddly tense. All the attendants were extremely cautious, and it was impossible to get any information from them; even those who were not so cautious knew nothing at all.
