“Yes! So she’s from the East China Sea. She even called herself a merchant, but she’s completely fooled us. No wonder they left in such a grand manner a few days ago. They were going to go to the capital with the delegation!” Dai Zhiwan said angrily, “Luckily, we didn’t have much contact with her.”
Otherwise, you'll be tricked into revealing a lot of information.
Su Wanyan frowned even more: "Feng Yao left in such a grand manner? Just a few days ago?"
"Yes, it's a huge caravan. My brother told me about it."
That means Yun Yi came to say goodbye to Yu Nanqing, but she was lying. She was originally going to be with Feng Yao, and there was no spur-of-the-moment decision on her own.
The purpose was... to test Yu Nanqing's attitude towards her?
The more Su Wanyan thought about it, the worse she felt: "I've been tricked."
"Yes, we were tricked!" Dai Zhiwan said angrily.
But after a while, she wondered what she was angry about. Although she had been deceived, she hadn't lost anything.
She looked at Su Wanyan curiously: "Is Your Majesty in a bad mood?"
"Hmm." Su Wanyan said listlessly, "I'm tired."
Dai Zhiwan immediately felt apologetic: "Your Majesty, did you not get enough rest last night? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dragged Your Majesty to attend the ceremony."
Su Wanyan chuckled: "It's not your fault. I'm glad you called me out."
Although I'm not really interested in meeting the envoys, isn't it fun to do some silly things with friends?
Hearing Su Wanyan say this, Dai Zhiwan finally felt relieved: "Is Your Highness hungry? This sweet and sour pork with its ten-mile-long aroma is quite good. I always ask Yinyuan to buy it here whenever I want to eat it."
Yin Yuan was Dai Zhiwan's personal maid.
Su Wanyan nodded: "Sounds good."
On the other side, after walking through the fragrant streets, Yu Nanqing looked back with some reluctance, only to see that Su Wanyan and Dai Zhiwan had already returned to their private room.
Unable to see anyone, Yu Nanqing felt empty inside, and resentment welled up in her eyes.
Why is the road to the palace so long?
...There will be a welcome-back banquet later.
Thinking of this, Yu Nanqing's face darkened even more.
The person walking beside him noticed his strange behavior and jokingly said, "I just saw Prince Gong staring at one spot. Did he see a beautiful woman and couldn't move his feet?"
Yu Nanqing raised her eyes, her gaze towards him was clear and calm, yet inexplicably carried a sharp edge.
"Don't be like that." The man grinned. "I'm an envoy from the East Sea now, not on a battlefield. Why be so serious?"
Having said that, he leaned closer to Yu Nanqing and said with great interest, "I saw it all. She is truly a lotus emerging from the water, shy and demure. Even I, the prince, felt my heart flutter. Hmm, it is said that Prince Gong is very fond of Princess Gong. Could it be... that is Princess Gong?"
This person was none other than Feng Lingxiao, the second prince of the East Sea.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing suddenly made a move, drawing the short knife from his waist with a whoosh.
Feng Lingxiao's brows furrowed, and he had already covered the sword at his waist before he could make a move. However, even though he was prepared, he was still a step too late.
A cold glint flashed, and Feng Lingxiao leaned back sharply, instantly creating distance between himself and Yu Nanqing.
Between the two horses, a few wisps of reddish-brown hair drifted down. Yu Nanqing smiled and said, "A blade that cuts hairs and cuts iron without making a sound, truly a fine knife."
Feng Lingxiao's face darkened. Damn it, did he aim for his neck and slash at it?
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile, reminding him, "Prince Gong, this is the Great Jin Dynasty."
He couldn't possibly be unaware of the consequences of the envoy from the East Sea dying in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty!
"So," Yu Nanqing replied with a very gentle smile, "how dare the Second Prince provoke me here?"
Aren't you afraid of never coming back?
Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxiao couldn't help but take a deep breath of anger, his forced smile twitching.
Yu Nanqing didn't say anything more and threw the sword back without giving him any face.
Feng Lingxiao caught the dagger with a quick flick of his wrist and sheathed it swiftly.
The sight of the two clashing swords was perceived by the common people as a covert contest between the Great Jin and the East Sea.
After all, the relationship between the two countries is not exactly friendly. Minor frictions between the East China Sea and the Great Jin have been frequent, sometimes initiated by the East China Sea and sometimes by the Great Jin.
Since Yu Nanqing's crushing defeat, relations between the Great Jin and the East Sea have plummeted to rock bottom.
Of course, the people living in the capital city did not feel these things so strongly.
Yu Nanqing returned to the manor after lunchtime, arriving back at the Prince's residence at 1:15 PM.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, his first thought was to find Su Wanyan. He went to the main house first, but didn't see her there. He then went to the pharmacy, but still couldn't find her.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Nanqing went to the small kitchen again, but still didn't see Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan is usually easy to find, but she's nowhere to be seen right now. Yu Nanqing is getting anxious. Could it be that she hasn't returned to the manor yet?
That's not right. Wang Zhang said Su Wanyan returned in the morning and had lunch at the mansion.
"Your Highness, Her Highness is..." Just then, a maid who was washing dishes passed by, intending to tell Yu Nanqing where Su Wanyan was.
Yu Nanqing looked up and glared at her.
The maid's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her eyes, pursing her lips and daring not to say another word.
He knew where Su Wanyan was; he didn't need them to tell him.
If we can't even find Su Wanyan in such a small place as the Prince's Mansion, what will we do in the future?
No matter where Su Wanyan is, he will find her on his own!
Thinking about it, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he walked towards the study.
At this moment, Su Wanyan was indeed in Yu Nanqing's study.
Yu Nanqing's study contained many things: news from the Prince's mansion's investigation in the capital, information on court officials, and some old books that could be used.
There are many hidden compartments in the study, and Su Wanyan sometimes searches for them like she's on a treasure hunt.
Incredibly, many of the hidden compartments not only contain important documents, but also some strange little items.
Each time Su Wanyan found a hidden compartment, she would receive an extra little surprise.
Su Wanyan knew that Yu Nanqing had prepared those things for her.
Because she wasn't in a good mood today, Su Wanyan went treasure hunting.
This time, Su Wanyan found something extraordinary and was sitting at her desk examining each page very carefully.
The door creaked open.
Seeing that Su Wanyan was indeed there, Yu Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Yan'er."
Su Wanyan looked up, and Yu Nanqing's heart tightened immediately. Her eyes were filled with a thin layer of mist, and they were red, which made Yu Nanqing panic. He hurriedly stepped forward: "Yan'er! What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"No way! No way!" Su Wanyan denied it outright.
"No?" Yu Nanqing frowned: "Then why..." look like this?
"I'm shocked by what you hid."
