Chapter 200: Imperial Examinations and Royal threats 2

Yu'an temple

"how long has she been missing?"

The abbot's face fell immediately, he initially did not know how to inform Zhu Fengyin of what happened but since the Princess already guessed their situation there was no need to hide it anymore. "She has been missing since the fire started, together with one of the guards!"

There was a few seconds of heavy silence as Zhu Fengyin tried to wrap her head around this bumbling mess they had gotten into. There was no possibility she had thought that they ended up in a good situation. She had a missing prisoner and guards, a human-sized recipe to deserter if she was being honest and she was.
