"May I ask, Miss Yaoguang, when you were in the medical ward of Mingyan County, were there any experts secretly spying on you? Did you investigate them?"
Yao Guang hesitated for a moment before revealing a little information: "We've found the person, but the investigation is still ongoing."
Qin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat.
At first, she had some doubts that Sui Mo was lying, but now even Xuanji Wei has corroborated that someone really did come all the way from the capital.
Watching the four figures leave, Yao Guang pursed her lips and remained silent. Why did she feel that the Sixth Prince was avoiding her like the plague?
The banquet was held in the main hall, with a total of three dishes: braised mutton, stewed chicken soup, and a meager serving of cold summer cabbage.
Zhou Yanqing, sitting to the left, cupped his hands in greeting. "Your Highness, please forgive me. The floods have blocked the waterways. I can still provide some meat, but vegetables are truly..."
Qin Zhaoqiong waved her hand, not caring.

"This braised mutton is pretty good. Do you have any more in the kitchen? Send two portions to Ping An."
Poor kid, he went on a business trip right after starting the job, and lately he's basically been eating only staple foods and hasn't had meat much.
Tao Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Highness, don't worry, your sisters will take care of you."
Despite his robust appearance, he's just a child. Over the past few days, both the Ink Group and the Broken Ink Peach Blossom have taken good care of him.
After finishing his dinner, Qin Zhaoqiong refused the magistrate's suggestion to rest for the night and immediately requested to go to the mine for inspection.
At 9 PM, the rain had not stopped.
The group donned raincoats, lit pine resin torches, and rode into the rain...
