Mo Chuan returned to the front desk. Although he was used to hiding his emotions and anger, Chu Shaobai, who was familiar with him, still noticed something strange.
"Your Majesty, what happened? How did Zhui Feng come here? Could it be..."
Before he finished asking, Mo Chuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"She's gone."
"Gone? What do you mean? Your Majesty, can you explain clearly?" Chu Shaobai was startled.
Mo Chuan looked calmly and simply repeated what Zhui Feng said just now, and then said: "She just walked away in a grand manner, wearing a maid's clothes, and walked away from everyone's eyes."
After hearing this, Chu Shaobai was stunned for a long time and then said, "No way? Why did Ning'er sneak away? Could it be that she wants to compete with the Crown Prince of Dong Qin?"
He knew that today's competition was just a pretense, not a real competition, because he knew that Mr. Chu couldn't make friends with anyone at all.
If Shen Ning does not show up, the competition will naturally be postponed or cancelled.
But if Shen Ning really appears here...
Mo Chuan shook his head slowly. He thought of the bold and whimsical idea that Shen Ning had mentioned to him, and felt a chill suddenly rise on his back.
It would be better if she really came to try, but he was afraid that she was not here, but somewhere else!
"I'm worried about her..."
His words came to an abrupt end because he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance again. His heart suddenly lifted, and he strode to the edge of the stand and looked towards where the sound came from.
Chu Shaobai also followed him, and saw another fast horse galloping into the school grounds.
"It's Third Brother, Third Brother is here!" He murmured.
He could see very far away, and he could see that there was only Chu Shaoyang on the horse, but there was no shadow of Shen Ning, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
When the officials of Western Chu saw Chu Shaoyang, they all became happy. When they saw Chu Shaoyang alone, the smiles on their faces froze again.
The ministers began to discuss one after another.
"Where is the princess? Why didn't she show up?"
"Could it be that the prince doesn't allow the princess to show up? Last time he said that the princess was ill. Maybe he will find some other excuse this time!"
Under the strange gazes of everyone, Chu Shaoyang stepped onto the stand step by step.
When everyone saw his appearance, they couldn't help but be stunned again.
His luxurious purple robe was covered with dust and turned gray. His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his muscles were ferocious, and his eyes were dull. He looked like he had just suffered from a serious illness or something. Climbed out of the pit.
He always attaches great importance to clothing and appearance. Every time he appears in front of others, he makes himself dazzling and full of energy. The ministers have known him for so long, but they have never seen him in such a mess.
Those who were secretly jealous of him felt secretly happy when they saw him like this, but they greeted him with smiles on their faces, pretending to care about him.
But Chu Shaoyang turned a deaf ear to everyone's questions.
He walked straight towards Mochuan, the two hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly into fists, and his heart was filled with resentment.
It's been three days, three whole days, and he hasn't closed his eyes!
He dispatched all the people he could and searched every corner of Kyoto, even all the villages within ten miles outside the city, but he couldn't find even one of Shen Ning's hair!
