While looking at the scroll in his hand, he asked casually, "Is she feeling better?"
"Well, Your Highness, it's almost done."
After Yan Jin finished speaking, Fu Yunni quickly interrupted: "But beautiful sister has already left my aunt's house."
"Left...left?"
Fu Mingchi's eyes flashed with anxiety, but then they darkened imperceptibly in an instant. He spoke calmly, "I'm afraid that this prince has learned of her and her father's conspiracy. She is too embarrassed to stay in the Marquis' Mansion and is in a hurry to run away."
"Your Highness, we seem to have made a mistake."
Yan Jin explained: "Miss Hui is not the daughter of Prime Minister Ji. She is also from Yuezhou. Her family lives in Jikang County. She came to Lin'an to visit relatives."
"Yes, brother, the beautiful sister also said that she will return to Yuezhou soon, and she also said that she will come to find me when she returns to Yuezhou." Fu Yunni said with great interest.
When he realized that he had misunderstood her, a hint of guilt immediately appeared in Fu Mingchi's cold black eyes.
He should have believed in his own judgment earlier. Such clear and clean eyes could not hide any filth. How could she be Ji Yuan's daughter?
Thinking of the danger she experienced last night, Fu Mingchi's calm heart couldn't help but be stirred up.
Why would she be plotted against for no reason?
"The Ye family in Jikang County?"
Fu Mingchi muttered to himself. He had handled so many government affairs that he was almost familiar with all the personnel in Yuezhou. He seemed to have some impression of this family in his mind. There was indeed a person named Ye Hui.
Gathering his thoughts, he calmly instructed, "Take care of all the matters that the Concubine has instructed us to do recently. Let's return to Yuezhou as soon as possible."
"Return to Yuezhou?" Butler Zhao was stunned. "Your Highness, didn't the Concubine Dowager ask you to stay in Lin'an?"
"What are you still doing here?" Fu Mingchi asked, "The three things the Concubine Dowager instructed us to do have been completed. Are you staying in Lin'an to enjoy the scenery?"
Butler Zhao touched the back of his head with a bitter look on his face.
Of the three things the Concubine Dowager instructed His Highness to do, except for returning to Lin'an to report on his work, the other two were also done, but the results seemed a bit unexpected.
The proposal to the Ji family ended up being directly cancelled, and the Lingshen Heart Protecting Pills presented as tribute to the Queen Mother were given by His Highness to a girl he met by chance.
How could he report this to the imperial concubine when he returned?
Fu Mingchi naturally understood his mother's painstaking efforts, but he had always been clear about his own position.
His world has always been in the army, not in the court.
Not to mention that the government is in chaos now, and Lin'an is not a place where a member of the royal family like him can stay for long.
Thinking of the cold and disdainful face of Empress Dowager Gu when he accompanied his father to the palace to meet the emperor when he was young, he knew that as long as Empress Dowager Gu was still alive, the Yuezhou Fu family would have to pay a terrible price if they wanted to return to Lin'an.
"Take the princess down to rest." Fu Mingchi gave the order in a serious voice, not wanting to talk any more with Butler Zhao.
Upon learning that they could return to Yuezhou, Fu Yunni couldn't hide her excitement and quickly asked, "Brother, when are we going back to Yuezhou? Can we hurry up? Maybe we can meet a beautiful sister on the way."
Fu Mingchi looked down upon the little kid's useless appearance.
However, after meeting her three or two times, I seemed to be bewitched by that girl and I couldn't bear the urge to see her for a moment.
"I have my own arrangements. You stay at home these days and don't run around anymore."
After giving a casual reminder, Fu Mingchi got up and left the study.
"Huh, you obviously care about this beautiful sister, why are you pretending to be indifferent?"
Fu Yunni pouted unhappily. Butler Zhao waited until she calmed down before he dared to cautiously step forward and lead her out.
