Hearing that the eldest princess was ill and had to leave the palace, no one dared to stop her. Ji Fengyao and her servants followed Shang Yuexi's sedan chair and left the palace smoothly.

Shang Yuexi was a well-known wealthy and idle person in the capital, and he never interfered in the affairs of the palace or the court.

Wang Bingyao was also a well-known upright but rebellious official in the court. The Wang family always went their own way and never formed cliques, so Shang Yuexi left the palace without any followers.

The palanquin arrived at a back alley of a bustling main street in Kyoto.

There, several guards from the Ninth Prince's mansion were waiting with several fine steeds.

The sedan chair stopped, and Shang Yuexi alighted from it.

Ji Fengyao also left the guards and came to her. She sincerely curtsied and said, "Although I am of a higher generation than you, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, although I was confident that I could leave the palace, it would not have been so easy."

"It's nothing. I was just bothered by Xiao An and didn't want him to keep nagging. I just wanted a few days of peace and quiet," Shang Yuexi said gently, without taking credit for anything, attributing all her feelings to Wang An.

Ji Fengyao knew that Shang Yuexi had said that;

Firstly, I didn't want her to feel burdened;

Secondly, it also serves to make her feel indebted to Wang An, hoping that no matter what success or failure she and Shang Xiye may have in the future, they will always remember Wang An's kindness today and leave him a bright future.

“Wang An is so lucky to have you as his sister-in-law,” Ji Fengyao said sincerely.

Shang Yuexi smiled gently and had her maid take a bundle from the carriage. She said softly, "Xiao An was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't dare to deliver it himself. He repeatedly told me to give this to the princess personally. He said it was the money his shop had earned in the past six months, and it was a share of the profits for the princess. He also said that the business in the shop was doing very well, and that the princess didn't need to be stingy with money while traveling, as there would definitely be more when she returned."

Ji Fengyao took the bundle, lifted a corner, and looked at the layers of silver notes, gold ingots, silver ingots, and loose silver inside. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she laughed, "That fool, he probably pawned the shop. Where did he get so much dividends in half a year?"

Shang Yuexi simply smiled gently from the side without interrupting.

She could tell that Princess Chonghe's feelings for Xiao An were genuine.

She had a good impression of Ji Fengyao from their last meeting.

In retrospect, Xiao An did not help the wrong person.

This bundle of silver was Wang An's token of his goodwill, and Ji Fengyao did not return it.

Fearing that Wang An would run out of money, Ji Fengyao took out a storage ring from her storage space, which contained some of the gold and silver treasures she had plundered from the Chen family's secret vault.

She handed the ring to Shang Yuexi and said, "Please trouble the princess to give this ring to Wang An as a return gift. Tell him that I have entrusted him with full authority over the shop's affairs. I trust him completely and let him do his job without hesitation!"

"Okay," Shang Yuexi agreed gently. Seeing Ji Fengyao and the others quickly mount their horses, she took two steps forward and said, "Princess, please be careful on your journey."

"Tell Wang An to rest assured, and tell him that I, Hu Hansan, will return, bringing back the prince and a great deal of treasure," Ji Fengyao said with a playful laugh.

Then, she turned the reins around, squeezed the horse's flanks with her legs, and rode away with Xique, Bailu, Huji, and several guards.

Shang Yuexi: "???"

Who is Hu Hansan?

Wasn't her given name Ji Fengyao?

Beside the Cold Palace.

When Shang Beiyu heard his subordinates report for the second time that there was still no movement in the courtyard where Ji Fengyao had entered, he could no longer sit still: "This matter is strange, I must go and see for myself!"
