After a momentary blackout, Zhao Qi exploded in a rage:
"Didn't I order you to take turns watching the Xu Manor around the clock? What on earth have you been doing! How could you let two living human beings slip right out from under your noses?"
"L-Lord, we don't know what happened. We kept a close watch all through the first half of the night, but we suddenly fell into a deep sleep during the second half. By the time we woke up, the Imperial Noble Consort and Young Madam Huo were already gone."
Zhao Qi nearly choked on his own breath. He kicked each of them in turn and cursed, "A pack of idiots! Now that they’re gone, get moving and find them! I’m telling you, if you don’t bring them back, we’re all as good as dead!"
