Princess Consort Zhuang's expression changed instantly. "Have you found out for sure?"
"Yes. I spent a bit of silver to get the news from a Palace Attendant in Shouci Palace. Before Lady Shufei and Lady Wanfei went to the rear hall, Qin Wan Yi was not in the front hall. It was only after the bad news came from the rear hall that I finally spotted her. Thinking back on it now, her expression was indeed quite unpleasant. At the time, I just assumed she was upset about what happened in the rear hall, so I didn't think much of it." Rouge's expression was just as grim. 'Who would have thought? If Qin Wan Yi was going to join forces with Your Ladyship, she shouldn't be pulling tricks behind our backs.'
"Were you able to find out where she went?" Princess Consort Zhuang asked, cutting to the heart of the matter.
"All I know is that Qin Wan Yi said she was going to change her clothes. But I asked the Palace Attendant on duty in the dressing room, and they never saw her," Rouge said.
