Three days passed quickly, but Mingwei did not return.
Cui Wei waited until her heart was shattered, not because Mingwei hadn't come back, but because she always felt uneasy.
Three days without Mingwei returning, Empress Su was overjoyed. As long as Mingwei didn't come back, Cui Wei would willingly admit defeat and then follow her arrangements to marry Su Tianyou.
She even started imagining Cui Wei throwing herself into her arms, aggrieved, cursing Mingwei as an ungrateful traitor.
However, she didn't wait for that day.
Because, just like Mingwei, her own son Zhao Hongqian also hadn't returned.
Zhao Hongqian had left the palace for three days and hadn't come back.
According to the Palace Attendants' reports, Zhao Hongqian had visited the Imperial Pharmacy before secretly leaving the palace.
Empress Su felt a vague sense of unease and immediately sent people out to search for him.
The disappearance of her beloved eldest son naturally also alarmed the Emperor.
