After our large group searched everywhere and made up various excuses to figure out who lived in which quarters, we still couldn't find that concubine. As for the First Prince’s chambers, we did find them, and there were several wives inside. I even used the excuse of paying my respects to the First Prince to go inside for a look, but she wasn't there either.
Could it be that she was murdered? It’s hard to say; in wealthy households, killing off a concubine or two to save face is common practice. If she really is dead, I’m afraid I won't be able to complete this mission.
It’s all just misery. Why couldn't he have asked me to kill the First Prince or his grandfather instead? He just had to make me prove that he wasn't lying. Isn't that just making things difficult for me?
