"Disappeared?"
The Beiyu Imperial Consort had almost immediately left the Imperial Palace to return to the Beiyu Family, without even taking the time to seek His Majesty's permission, and of course, this included the Empress.
At the Beiyu residence, Shen Qi heard the news brought back by the Imperial Consort and was somewhat stunned, not quite able to process it.
Because that statement was somewhat incomprehensible.
A second before, the Imperial Consort had planned to make a bold move to take down the dark lantern, a rather audacious probe, naturally not daring to truly touch it, but merely wanting to see the reaction of the person inside. If it could provoke an unusual response and expose a slip, the Empress and others would be justified in dispatching the troops openly.
It must be said that at that moment, the Imperial Consort was indeed ready to take risks, fully trusting in the defensive array that Chen Qing had set up for her.
