After entering the room, Shangguan Qing said, "Shuofeng, I need you to secretly investigate the illegal salt business."
Shufeng frowned slightly, feeling hesitant.
He was well aware of the importance of this matter, but he was more worried that Gu Yufei would be in danger after leaving the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"Sir, I..." Shufeng hesitated to speak.
Shangguan Qing ignored Shufeng's concerns. He patted Shufeng's shoulder gently and said, "I understand your concerns, but this matter is of great importance and someone must investigate it thoroughly. I believe in your ability and you will be able to complete the task."
"I know you care about that girl, and Yueyue likes her very much. When you come back after your mission is accomplished, I can arrange a marriage for you." Shangguan Qing said with a smile.
Shufeng seemed to want to speak but stopped himself.
After a moment's silence, Shufeng finally nodded. He knew he couldn't refuse Shangguan Qing's order.
"Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible." Shufeng said firmly.
Shangguan Qing smiled with satisfaction, then took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Shufeng: "This is my token. You can use it to mobilize some people. When you encounter danger, you can also use this token to seek help."
Shufeng took the token and carefully put it away. He turned and left the study, secretly vowing in his heart that he must protect Gu Yufei.

Shufeng went to investigate the illegal salt trafficking, and Yan Dan felt very sad because of what happened last time.
When Shufeng was out, she couldn't help but look for Gu Yufei again.
In the quaint courtyard, Yan Dan stared at Gu Yufei quietly.
Finally she asked, "Gu Yufei, do you like Shuofeng?"
Gu Yufei was slightly stunned, as if she had not expected Yan Dan to suddenly ask this question.
Gu Yufei shook her head slowly.
This is a stupid question. She is Shufeng's master's wife, so how could she like Shufeng?
However, Yan Dan did not know Gu Yufei's true identity.
In her opinion, Gu Yufei is young and beautiful, and is indeed attractive.
Yan Dan frowned slightly and continued, "If you don't like him, don't hurt him. Shu Feng is a kind and simple person. He deserves to be treated sincerely."
Yan Dan has been paying attention to Shufeng. Seeing him silently giving for Gu Yufei, she couldn't help but feel distressed for him.
"I understand, Yan Dan. Shufeng and I are not in the relationship you think. We are more like brother and sister. If you really like him, you can stick with him." Gu Yufei smiled.
"You!" Yan Dan's face turned red.
Gu Yufei's words surprised her.
What's the meaning?
Doesn’t she like the north wind?
If you don't like him, why are you still willing to enjoy his kindness? Why don't you reject him clearly?
"Hmph, stop pretending in front of me. Since you don't like him, why don't you reject him? And accept his kindness. I've seen him bring delicious food to your room many times."
"...You've seen it many times? Have you told anyone else? It seems that you are a stalker. Boys don't like girls like this." Gu Yufei frowned.
This Yan Dan actually follows Shufeng every day.
And she even knew that Shufeng had gone to her place.
"Of course I didn't tell anyone." Yan Dan said dejectedly.
Talking about this, she was in a terrible mood.
