The collection of books here is enormous; even if categorized, it can contain hundreds of titles.
Yan Jue can remember the location so clearly. Could it be that he comes to this library often?
Yan Jue stood at the other end of the bookshelf, turned her head, and smiled calmly: "You don't know, I rarely go out, and in my spare time I can only read books to pass the time. I often come to this library, and after a lot of visits, I have some impression of it."
Chi Yan smiled and handed him the book, his tone teasing: "Your Highness, this doesn't seem like you have a vague impression, it's more like you have a photographic memory."
Yan Jue smiled slightly: "Lord Chi, you flatter me too much."
Chi Yan found all the books for him, and Yan Jue didn't linger. He thanked them gratefully and said, "Thank you both. I'll take my leave now."
Chi Yan nodded: "I will see Your Highness out."
As he watched Yan Jue leave, the expression on his face gradually faded, and his eyes held a hint of speculation.
He glanced at all the books Yan Jue had taken away, but none of them contained the books he was looking for that recorded the folk culture of various countries. Could it be that he really just came to find books?
Chi Yan casually asked the palace servant beside him, "Does the Fourth Prince often come to the library?"
The palace servant hesitated before nodding: "His Highness the Fourth Prince enjoys reading. Sometimes he comes by himself, and sometimes he instructs a palace servant to fetch books."
He raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Understood. Keep an eye on the door and don't let any unauthorized people in."

Shen Tangning's gaze darkened slightly: "Didn't you notice?"
Yuan Zhao took a sip of tea and nodded: "I checked Feng Zhiwen. He hasn't been in Yanjing for long, and his daily schedule is very simple. I really didn't find any connection between him and Shen Xiwei."
Shen Xiwei was in the inner quarters of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, where the rules were strict, so she didn't have much opportunity to interact with men outside the mansion. So how did these two meet?
"That's strange." Her eyes seemed thoughtful, but Yuan Zhao frowned. "However, there's something odd about it..."
"I learned from the coachman hired by Feng Zhiwen that this young master Feng goes out of the city every few days, apparently to some Taoist temple?"
Shen Tangning's eyes flickered slightly: "I didn't realize he was so enthusiastic about this."
Yuan Zhao's eyes were somewhat strange: "I don't think so."
She raised her eyes slightly and saw him cough. "From what the coachman was implying, it seems that Young Master Feng went to see someone secretly, and even Master Feng was unaware of it."
Yuan Zhao wasn't a gossip, but since following Shen Tangning, he had been forced to gossip.
Shen Tangning's eyes flickered with an ambiguous meaning: "That's interesting. Why do you have to meet someone so secretly?"
"You're right! I find it strange too!"
Something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she narrowed her eyes.
Shen Tangning suddenly recalled that she seemed to have heard Chi Yan mention that Feng Zhiwen seemed to have someone he was interested in.
She had heard about it before but had forgotten about it, since it's perfectly normal for a young man to have romantic feelings. But now, she sensed something was amiss.
Feng Zhiwen has only been in Yanjing for a short time. If he really went to see his so-called sweetheart, then she must be incredibly capable to have captivated him so quickly.
She pondered for a moment, then became somewhat interested and looked at Yuan Zhao: "What's the name of that Taoist temple you mentioned?"
