After searching all night without success, the group rested for a while, lit a fire to keep warm, ate and drank their fill, and then continued their search as the snow stopped.
Finally, they found Feng Changyu in a mountain valley, where the rebels were besieging them.
Upon returning to Xinling, Song Fengzhi, without even dismounting, coldly watched as Zhao Kuo, the leader of the Imperial Guards, took Yin Xingchuan away.
Having watched the show, it was time for him to leave, for his mission was complete, and now all he needed to do was go home and hug his loved one.
He rushed back to the manor with great joy, only to be told that the Eighth Prince had already returned to his own residence. Without even changing out of his battle robes, he hurried to Shen Ye's manor.
Because of their relationship and Song Fengzhi's frequent visits, the servants here had long regarded Song Fengzhi as half a master.
Upon seeing his arrival, they immediately stepped forward to take his horse and told him where their master was.
Shen Ye seemed to be in a good mood, brewing tea alone in his study.
Upon seeing Song Fengzhi, she poured him a cup of tea as a first impression, and then poured one for herself, savoring it slowly and patiently.
"Yuan Hao, didn't I tell you to stay at my residence from now on? Why are you back again?"
Song Fengzhi was a rough and uncultured man who didn't know how to appreciate tea. He picked up the teacup, blew on it a few times, and then tilted his head back and gulped it down.
"Come back if you want."
"You mean you don't intend to be with me?" Song Fengzhi frowned, his tone becoming sharp.
Shen Ye remained silent, calmly sipping his tea.
This is this year's Da Hong Pao tea, which is only available to the Emperor and Empress. He only got this little bit of tea because of Song Fengzhi.
Previously, I knew nothing about the intricacies of tea. However, after coming to this world, out of boredom, I followed a master to learn the art of tea for a few days. I came to understand its mysteries and joys, and from then on, I was hooked.
"Don't be angry. I'll definitely kill him next time. This time I miscalculated. Please don't ignore me." Song Fengzhi's attitude and tone softened.
He thought Shen Ye was ignoring him because he hadn't been able to kill Feng Changyu, but that wasn't the case. Shen Ye was ignoring him because of his adopted son, Zhao Beiqi.
That day, no sooner had Song Feng left than Zhao Beiqi ambushed Shen Ye. If it weren't for the system's warning, he would probably have already fallen into his trap.
An eight-year-old child could not have done such a thing. The person who instructed Zhao Beiqi was the guard who was following him.
Shen Ye considered killing the man to prevent future troubles, but after careful consideration, he decided against it and decided to wait until Song Fengzhi returned before dealing with him.
Thus, the scene of him giving a cold shoulder came about.
"I know you tried your best, and besides, this isn't the reason I'm upset with you."
"General, you had barely left when the young master hired someone to kill His Highness. Fortunately, His Highness was blessed with good fortune and survived, which prevented them from succeeding."
"Alright, Chu Jiu, you can leave now," Shen Ye coldly commanded.
Song Fengzhi stared at Shen Ye in shock, as if he had a lot to explain, but in the end, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, as if he couldn't get the words out of his mouth, and his expression was extremely awkward.
Shen Ye glanced at the man who claimed to love her and sneered, "Zhao Beiqi is still young, so it's inevitable that he will be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. So this matter cannot be entirely blamed on him. I also bear some responsibility. Who told me to be unfavored and only bring shame to you?"
Song Fengzhi wasn't stupid. Shen Ye had already said that, wasn't that a blatant hint? He would definitely send someone to investigate the matter.
