At the same time, after Su Yan left the banquet, he was led by his subordinates and walked towards Jiuchong Palace.
His pace was very fast, fearing that he would miss something.
It’s been too long since I’ve done what my elder brother told me to do.
Lan Shengxue's matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Entering the Jiuchong Palace, Su Yan asked directly, "Where is the portrait?"
"It's on the desk in the main hall."
Su Yan went straight to the main hall.
"Sir..." The people under his hands screamed secretly when they saw the things on the desk.
Because Su Yan couldn't see, he naturally couldn't see the scene on the desk, "Give me the portrait."
"Sir." The man frowned slightly, "There is no portrait on the desk."
"Impossible!" Su Yan said bluntly, "I ordered someone to find it myself."
He can still trust the people under him to do things.
"Sir, I dare not lie to you. There is really nothing on the desk."
Su Yan stepped forward, stretched out his hand and fumbled around.
"Call the person who brought the portrait." He wanted to interrogate him personally.
A thin man was quickly brought in.
"Where's the portrait?"
The man looked confused and said, "Master Qi, my subordinate personally placed the portrait on the desk."
"Are you sure?"
"My subordinates are sure." The man said firmly, "Young Master has said that the Jiuzhong Palace has heavy restrictions and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. In addition, this palace has many institutions, so the portrait will be very safe if it is placed here.
I don’t dare to slack off in the slightest, the portrait was placed by my subordinates myself, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it.”
"But now the portrait is missing, how do you explain it?"
"This..." The man knelt on the ground, "This subordinate really doesn't know anything about it. I hope you will learn from it."
"Have you ever opened the portrait?"
"No, I don't dare to touch the young master's things at will."
"You step back first."
The kid on the side suggested: "Sir, the portrait is missing. If you want to know what Lan Shengxue looks like, it's actually very simple."
"You just need to ask Feng Youlian or the wizard, right?"
"Yes, you are a guest here. If you have any needs, they will satisfy you."
Su Yan snorted coldly, "But I don't want to ask them."
"That matter about the portrait..."
"Someone must have known that I was coming and took the portrait away in advance.
She doesn't want me to know what Lan Shengxue looks like.
That person is stopping me from looking for Lan Shengxue."
"The person the young master is talking about is..."
Su Yan turned the ink jade ring on his index finger, "Who else could it be besides her?"
——
Su Yan returned to his small palace and found Lan Shengxue standing in the living room with an apple in his mouth.
"The soul body is still so restless, can it still eat apples?"
"Burned."
"...What?" Su Yan didn't understand.
"I had it burned for me."
Su Yan: "..."
Although he couldn't see it, he was not deaf to the chirping sound.
"Tell me, why did you run away from today's banquet?"
"I like tranquility."
"Then you promised me to attend the banquet yesterday?"
"Forced."
Su Yan had nowhere to vent his anger, and there was nothing wrong with what Lan Shengxue said.
"Sir, I see you don't look well. Is something wrong?"
"When will it be your turn to ask about my son? Go ahead."
