Yan Ningshuang frowned, not knowing what she was thinking of. "It's too early to draw a conclusion now."
Zhao Yingqiu looked up at Yan Ningshuang in surprise: "What?"
Yan Ningshuang shook her head and refused to talk any more.
Zhao Yingqiu smiled, not caring at all, and said casually, "I heard that when the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom sign the letter of credence, someone from the Yanbei Palace will be present."
Yan Ningshuang's eyelids jumped: "Who went to the Yanbei Palace?"
Zhao Yingqiu thought for a moment and said casually, "I'm not sure, but I suspect it should be Second Young Master Xiao. The prince and the Liao people have been at war for years, and I heard the Liao people are eager to kill the prince. In this situation, Second Young Master Xiao is the most appropriate person to come forward."
Yan Ningshuang was shocked when she heard this and almost jumped up: "No! He can't go!"
Zhao Yingqiu glanced at Yan Ningshuang in surprise. "Why can't we go? If Second Young Master Xiao doesn't go, who else can go to the Yanbei Palace?"
Yan Ningshuang's face turned pale, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhao Yingqiu lowered her head and continued to embroider her mandarin ducks.
Yan Ningshuang was sitting there feeling uneasy. After some time, she suddenly stood up, which frightened Zhao Yingqiu so much that she poked her finger with a needle, and a tiny bead of blood was imprinted on the half-embroidered veil.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yingqiu asked worriedly.
Yan Ningshuang shook her head: "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. I'll go back first and come to see you next time." After saying this, she left in a hurry without waiting for Zhao Yingqiu to speak.
Zhao Yingqiu watched her back disappear into the house, smiled slightly, lowered his head and embroidered an eye on the bloodstain, a blood-red mandarin duck eye.
After returning from the villa, Yan Ningshuang went straight to Zhaoning Palace. This time, she was stopped outside the palace as expected.
"I have something important to discuss with your young lady." Yan Ningshuang said anxiously.
The gatekeeper said respectfully, "Our young mistress is resting now. Third Young Madam, please come back another day."
"I have an urgent matter and must see Ren Yaoqi! She will regret it if she doesn't see me!" Yan Ningshuang said in a stern tone.
The gatekeeper apologized profusely but refused to let Yan Ningshuang in.
Yan Ningshuang gritted her teeth and made a gesture to turn around and leave, but as soon as the gatekeeper turned around, she suddenly turned around and rushed in, passing the two gatekeepers in one step.
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Madam Third Young Master!"
The maids working the backdoors outside Zhaoning Palace were all quite capable, so they quickly stopped Yan Ningshuang. Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Yan Ningshuang looked up and saw a young woman dressed as a woman coming out. She immediately recognized her as one of Ren Yaoqi's confidants. The last time she had visited Ren Yaoqi, this woman had also stayed inside the palace without avoiding him.
"Wait a minute, go and tell Ren Yaoqi for me. I have something important to tell her." Yan Ningshuang said hurriedly.
The young woman was Ping Guo, the manager of Zhaoning Palace. She glanced at Yan Ningshuang without moving.
