"When did you arrive?" Wei Yuchen led Lin Han directly to his palace and asked, looking at Lin Han.
"Just a few days ago, not long ago," Lin Han replied while removing her makeup.
"You're quite bold, daring to go out alone. What if you encounter danger?"
"If you want to come, just send me a message, and I'll come pick you up myself, okay?" Wei Yuchen watched as Lin Han kept instilling safety knowledge in her.
"Alright, alright, do you have a subordinate named Gong An?" Lin Han quickly changed the subject to shut Wei Yuchen up.
Sure enough, the effect was remarkable; Wei Yucheng immediately shifted his attention.
"Have you seen him?" Wei Yucheng asked.
"Yes, he wants to enter the palace. I helped him. He's looking for you right now. He should be here soon," Lin Han said to Wei Yuchen, wiping the water from her face.
Wei Yuchen, meanwhile, silently gazed at Lin Han, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Ah Han, are these rumors circulating among the people also your doing?" Wei Yuchen asked softly.
Although Lin Han was surprised that her actions were so easily guessed, she readily admitted it.
"You, you." Wei Yuchen looked at Lin Han, gently scratching the tip of her pen with his finger, his face full of doting affection.
"Alright, alright, no need for thanks. We don't need to be so polite between us. Go on out, Gong An should be here soon." Lin Han stopped Wei Yuchen as he was about to say thank you and pushed him out.
Wei Yucheng could only wait for Gong An in the main hall outside, but before he left, he didn't forget to ask a maid to bring some snacks for Lin Han to eat.
He then left. Lin Han watched his departing figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat down comfortably, picked up a small piece of peach blossom pastry, and slowly ate it with tea.
"Congratulations, Wei Yuchen's corruption value has decreased by 5, and his current corruption value is 11." After seeing Wei Yuchen leave, Xiao Meng checked his data again and then reported it to Lin Han.
Lin Han finished the last bite of the peach blossom pastry, took a sip of tea, gently brushed the crumbs off her hands, and said happily, "At this rate, we'll be done soon."
"Really? Then this world is indeed a bit too simple." Xiao Meng looked at Lin Han and saw that he hadn't encountered any major difficulties along the way, so she felt a little regretful.
"What's with that tone of yours? It's giving me the creeps!" Lin Han felt a chill run down her spine when she heard the regret in Xiao Meng's voice.
"It's nothing, I was just amazed at how easily you finished it," Xiaomeng replied immediately.

"Your Highness, I have returned to report." Gong An knelt on one knee and said to Wei Yuchen.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Wei Yucheng's face was full of joy when he saw that Gong An was not only alive but also standing in front of him safely.
"Your Highness, I have gathered a considerable amount of intelligence along the way, which I hope will be of benefit to you."
Gong An took out several letters from his sleeve, the pages of which were covered with dense text, and handed them to Wei Yucheng.
Wei Yucheng took the envelope from Gong An, opened it, and began to read the letters inside.
When he discovered that it was full of shady dealings involving Wei Xuyong, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
“That’s right, you’ve really helped me a lot this time. Just name your reward.” Wei Yucheng said to Gong An.
"Your Highness, some of this intelligence was obtained with the help of a young master, and I hope to reward that young master," Gong An replied respectfully.
"Oh? Who is he and where is he?" Wei Yuchen asked with great interest.
"That young master is the one who helped me enter the palace. Your Highness can find out by investigating," Gong An replied.
"Very well, I will certainly reward him. You may leave now." Wei Yuchen smiled enigmatically and then dismissed Gong An.
