The quilt was spread out, but there was nothing under the quilt. There was no presence of Emperor Luo anywhere!
Li Qing was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, he quickly put down the bed curtain, amplified his voice, looked around, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
He shouted several times in succession, but there was no other sound in the room except his voice.
Li Qing staggered out and ran out, grabbing the little eunuch guarding the door, gasping and asking: "Where is the emperor? Did you see the emperor go out this morning?"
"No." The little eunuch shook his head and said with a confused expression, "This slave has been staying here since his shift changed an hour ago and has not seen the emperor come out. Manager Li, what happened?"
"Who was on duty last night? Let him come to see me." Li Qing did not answer his question, but turned around and said.
"Yes." A young eunuch next to him responded and ran away quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qing called another young eunuch to his side and whispered: "Go and gather a few reliable people and look for the emperor separately nearby without making any noise."
"..." The little eunuch looked a little confused.
"Go quickly!" Li Qing pushed the little eunuch and scolded him in a low voice.
"Uh...yes." The little eunuch nodded frantically and quickly went to perform his task.
After a while, four young eunuchs came to Li Qing. Their faces showed obvious sleepiness and exhaustion after staying up late, and they looked at Li Qing with very uneasy eyes.
"You were on duty last night, but did you see the emperor going out?" Li Qing called the four people to him and asked in a low voice.
"No..." The four of them shook their heads and looked at Li Qing in confusion.
"Are you sure?" Li Qing looked at the four of them with suspicion.
"OK." The four of them nodded.
Immediately afterwards, a young eunuch who looked older spoke: "Last night, we took turns guarding the door, not daring to make any negligence, and did not go back to rest until the morning. During this time, we did not see the emperor going out.
.”
"Are you sure you didn't doze off or desert?" Li Qing asked coldly.
"Mr. Li, even if you give your slaves ten courages, they won't dare to desert or take a nap while on duty." The four of them said almost in unison.
Li Qing thought about it and it was right. He thought that the eunuchs serving in Qianfu Palace and Imperial Study Room did not dare to do this.
But, if you say that, where did the emperor go? No one saw the emperor going out, but there was no one in the palace...
Li Qing looked at the four people in front of him again, and said sternly: "You four must tell the truth. If you did deserted or took a nap last night, tell me. Otherwise, if you lie and cause bad consequences, you will
Ten heads are not enough to chop off."
"Mr. Li, what we tell you is the truth." The four of them said together again.
At this time, the young eunuch who had just been sent to lead separate groups to search for Emperor Luo returned with a very disappointed expression on his face. He couldn't find him at first glance...
"Didn't find it?" Li Qing asked reluctantly.
"No." The little eunuch shook his head.
Li Qing was immediately heartbroken and almost fell to the ground. A young eunuch beside him quickly supported him.
Li Qing tried to keep himself calm, then took a deep breath, knowing that this matter could not be hidden, so he said to the few eunuchs around him: "You, you, you... go and inform all the slaves in Qianfu Palace.
