“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll investigate now,” the eunuch replied and left.
…
While the eunuch sent soone to investigate An Jiuyue, Qian Jiyun, who had returned to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, had already arrived outside Qiongzhi Courtyard.
He looked up and glanced at the words “Qiongzhi?Courtyard”1. He could not help but frown.
“Uncle Xuan, take down this plaque and change it.”
The butler, Xuan Zhuan, was speechless.
Change the plaque? Is it old? It’s not, right? Besides, don’t plaques look more magnificent the more weathered they are? Why change it?
“Prince, you an…”
“We’ll call it Qiong… Forget it.”
Qian Jiyun wanted to change the plaque, but he shook his head when he realized it would pique the interest of outsiders in An Jiuyue.
“There’s no need to change it.”
With that, he strode into the courtyard.
The butler behind him was surprised.
Qian Jiyun had gone to the border for a few years. Why did he not understand him at all?
An Jiuyue had released the two children in Qiongzhi Courtyard. Qian Jiyun heard them reading as soon as he entered.
anwhile, An Jiuyue sat to the side, concentrating on dicine refinent.
“Big Brother, you’re back.”
Qian Yiyun, who had been accompanying An Jiuyue, imdiately went up to Qian Jiyun when she saw him.
“That old hag is up to no good again. She sent a lot of things to Sister-in-law,” she whispered, not wanting to distract An Jiuyue from her task.
However, she had to tell her brother about this. She was not afraid there would be rumors in the residence, but she was worried that the old witch would cause trouble again.
That old woman was obviously timid, yet she really dared to do anything.
Qian Jiyun’s thin lips curled up slightly as he said softly, “That’s her style.”
Only Xue Yingyue would do such a brainless thing. If the people backing her knew that she made a move without figuring out the situation, they would probably vomit blood.
“What did the Emperor say? Did he tell you when to return to the border?” Qian Yiyun asked.
Qian Jiyun did not reply and only shook his head.
I won’t have to return so soon if there aren’t major problems at the border, right? That’s good. I can settle things in the residence and get rid of everyone with malicious thoughts.
He glanced at Yan Nuo and instructed, “Yan Nuo, tell them to co to the study.”
“Yes, Master,” Yan Nuo replied and went away.
…
After a while, Qian Jiyun sat behind a long table as Yan Nuo and three other n stood across him.
“Tell about the situation here,” he said.
Although he had always been in contact with the capital, he had only been receiving letters. They only had a few lines of major events written in them.
He had just returned to the capital and was curious if the water in this pool had gotten any deeper.
anwhile, in Prince De’s residence…
Although Prince De had been fooling around, he had many advisors and could find out what was happening outside.
And what was the biggest event in the capital today? Qian Jiyun’s return, of course.
“What?!”
Prince De learned from his advisor that Qian Jiyun had returned.
He was so frightened that he tossed the maid in his arms aside and stood up in a panic.
