"Your Highness may not know, but the secret guards have limited funds. And now Your Highness also... cough cough, because Miss Gu Wen knows the divine physician Bai Qingyue, I thought of using Bai Qingyue's name to find some wealthy but sick people to make some money. Yi Luo's offer is not low, so I will naturally choose her."
Ying Qi was secretly cursing his bad luck. He had originally planned to take the money and then get rid of the person, but now it seemed that not only was the money a hot potato, but the person might not even be spared. In fact, the prince might actually use him as a go-between to find that so-called Bai Qingyue for treatment! Sigh!
"I see."
Yu Ling wasn't foolish enough to believe everything Ying Qi said, but aside from what he deliberately concealed, it was probably pretty much the truth.

"Miss Gu Wen was very dissatisfied with Gu Cheng's attitude and repeatedly prevented the guards from searching for the prince. Now she has left in a huff and moved to the palace."
Shadow Seven Paths.
"Hmm, Gu Wen is impulsive and impatient. She will definitely leave the palace again to look for Gu Cheng. When that happens, you should secretly tell her where I am. Remember, you must keep it a secret from Gu Cheng."
Yu Ling's face once again revealed a gentle smile, her confident demeanor just as it had been when the Regent held all the power.
"Yes, sir!"
Ying Qi accepted the order. He no longer wanted to harm Yu Ling. This thorn was too hard to gnaw on, and it would be a losing proposition. However, he had once entertained a wicked thought. Looking at the sickly but handsome and confident demeanor, his face involuntarily flushed.
