Wu Ying had no idea what kind of mission he had accepted until the next day when, as the city lights came on, he returned from Cuihong Tower with lipstick marks all over his face and his face flushed.
Upon hearing Wu Ying's description, Shang Xiye was so shocked that the book in his hand fell onto the table.
Wuhen wondered if he should dig a hole and bury himself before the prince made a move.
Wu Shang stood in the shadows, staring blankly at Wu Zhong, who was equally speechless.
Now, let's talk about that noon.
Ji Fengyao ate a few bites of lunch in a huff, and was about to return to the dark room to continue familiarizing herself with the medicinal herbs when suddenly a maid called Lin Shuang from outside the door, saying that Consort Jin had arrived and wanted to see her.
Ji Fengyao was depressed for a while. That jerk Shang Xiye had caused her a lot of trouble.
He's so irresponsible and irresponsible, visiting brothels in the middle of the night!
He even had the nerve to tell her that he'd bring women to other hospitals next time. Was he openly keeping a mistress?
She's so angry!
"I won't see you!" Ji Fengyao was very annoyed.
She felt it was more reliable for her to focus on researching the antidote for the Time-Freezing Pill, so that she could go back as soon as possible to see if her unreliable and wicked master was dead. If her master was not dead, she would continue to live a life of luxury and wreak havoc on the world with him.
If her master dies, she will find his reincarnation and the two of them will continue to wreak havoc on the world.
However, she thought that even if her master hadn't died, he was probably seriously injured. Otherwise, given how protective he was of her, why hadn't he come to find her for so long?
Ji Fengyao was lost in thought when Lin Shuang came in to report: "Your Highness, Consort Jin says she has something important to tell you."
"What could be more important than my life?" Ji Fengyao raised her eyes in annoyance.
Xique didn't know why her young mistress was so lazy today, but Su Rujing had told her to be wary of the women in the manor, so she advised, "Miss, they're all here. Let's see what kind of trouble these women are up to. If we know this sooner, we can be prepared."
“Miss Xique is right, Your Highness, you should still meet her,” Lin Shuang also advised. “Moreover, I heard that yesterday Consort Jia invited Consort Jin to go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager today, but Consort Jin said she was not feeling well this morning and did not go. Consort Jin and Consort Jia are both princesses from the defeated kingdoms, and they are different from the ladies from the palace in your household.”
Ji Fengyao understood what Lin Shuang was saying.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; even a princess from a defeated kingdom has a power base far exceeding that of a mere palace maid. She's only just entered the royal palace; if someone like that shows her favor, she'd better not be too aloof.
"Alright, let's meet then." Ji Fengyao straightened her clothes and went to the side hall.
Shanyu Heye was a beautiful woman with exotic features, somewhat resembling the mixed-race people Ji Fengyao had seen on Earth in her previous life, with very distinct and prominent facial features.
However, she dressed very modestly, and the clothing of the Great Zhao Kingdom did not suit her wheat-colored skin very well. Therefore, if she stood among a group of beautiful women of the Great Zhao Kingdom, she would seem a bit out of place and thus not pleasing to people.
Upon seeing Ji Fengyao approach, Shanyu Heye stood up and performed a very standard bow with a calm expression.
Clearly, she came prepared and with a purpose.
Ji Fengyao sat down on the main couch and went straight to the point: "Speak, what important matter do you have to tell me?"
"Zhuoya, Zhuola, you two go out and guard the door," Shanyu Heye dismissed the maids beside him, then glanced at Xique and Linshuang beside Ji Fengyao.
