When Yun Shang returned to the mansion, Luo Qingyan hadn't been back yet. Qian Zhuo was waiting for her in the courtyard. Yun Shang was surprised to see her. Then she asked, "Did Wang Congwen make things difficult for you?"
Qian Zhuo shook her head. "He wanted to make things difficult for us, but we were not easy to deal with. Haha, Qian Liu had smashed his marble table in front of him, which terrified him. Now he is as meek as a lamb and dares not to disobey us."
Yun Shang smiled. Qian Zhuo continued, "Actually, Prince Rui must have warned him. The other day, I heard he quarreled with Lady Wang and mentioned about Prince Rui. He said he met Prince Rui on the way. I guess his highness must have said something to him.
Luo Qingyan? Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. How come he has never mentioned it?
"In that case, why did you come back?" Yun Shang asked while walking into the room. She took off her cloak and handed it to Qian Zhuo who was walking behind her.
Qian Zhuo smiled, "I have got some news from the secret guard who is keeping eyes on Feng Ming."
"Really?" Yun Shang turned to look at Qian Zhuo, "Tell me."
"It is said that this afternoon, a man's voice suddenly came from Lady Feng's house. Then the guard secretly hid himself in front of the courtyard and saw Lady Feng talking with a middle-aged man through the open door. But he was a little far away from them, so he didn't hear their words clearly. There seemed to be a quarrel between them. Lady Feng was very excited. One sentence has been heard clearly because it was shouted by her. She said, "If you don't go back, I'll knock the imperial drum and tell his majesty that I don't have an unfaithful son like you."
Yun Shang thought about it for a while and guessed that Lady Feng must be very angry when she knew that Feng Ming had come back to the Jin City without being summoned by Xia Fluanyu.
The man fell to his knees and kowtowed three times to Lady Feng before leaving in a hurry. The secret guard came back to report in a hurry as he saw that Feng Ming was about to leave the city. I came here in a hurry, only to find that you were not in the mansion. " Qian Zhuo hung her cloak aside and walked to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "It's highly likely that he will return to the frontier. It doesn't matter. We don't know his relationship with the seventh prince and what they talked about. If we make a move now, we'll definitely alert the enemy. Just let him go,"
Qian Zhuo responded and then asked, "Do I have to send secret guards to follow him?"
"Why will we follow him? He won't stir up any trouble at the border. Our men have been keeping an eye on the city gate. Ask someone draw a portrait of him and let the secret guards at the gate keep it in mind. If Feng Ming returns to the Jin City, just come to report me. " Yun Shang said casually and lied down on the soft couch.
In the afternoon, Yun Shang didn't take a nap as she went to Lord Hua Guo's mansion. And she got up early in the morning. She felt a little sleepy. She waved everyone away, and then fell into sleep. It was dark when she woke up, but Luo Qingyan still hadn't come back. Yun Shang frowned and asked Qin Yi to come in and comb her hair, and to prepare dinner.
When she was ordering what to eat for dinner, she heard someone knocking gently outside.
Yun Shang replied casually, "Come in."
No one came in. The sound of Luo Qingyan's secret guard was heard, "Your highness, his highness asked me to tell you that some colleague had invited him to a party in the Long Feng Tower and he will probably come back late."
Yun Shang was surprised. Luo Qingyan was quite cold, so he seldom went to parties. She thought for a while. Officials in the court had been actively contacting each other, and it was normal for Luo Qingyan to have more social engagements when he chose his fellows.
With this in mind, Yun Shang said, "I see."
Having finished her supper and reading for a while, Yun Shang went to bed early. When she was sleeping dreamily, she noticed that someone was lying next to her. Yun Shang frowned and then turned over as she smelled alcohol. "Horrible smell," muttered Yun Shang.
The one lying beside her seemed to move. Then Yun Shang felt someone get up. After a while, the water was heard from the bathroom.
