Zhao Huayin suddenly stood up, which scared Liuyun.

"It's almost dark, where are you going girl?"

"Let's go to the place where I found Huaqin last time. I want to find the old woman from Jiaozhi. She must know something.

King Xuan must have a plan for this, and I always feel a little uneasy."

"Be at ease, young lady."

Qingshuang's expression was still as cold as usual, but she stepped forward and held down Zhao Huayin's hands.

"Last time, I have already told His Royal Highness Prince Jin about the sorcerer in Jiaozhi. I believe His Royal Highness Prince Jin must have been investigating these days.

Why don't I go to the Prince of Jin's mansion tonight and tell His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin the new news? It's not safe for the girl to go out so late."

Qingshuang also wanted to pass the news to Yan Qi as soon as possible. If Zhao Huayin was asked to take risks, Yan Qi might not agree.

"Sister Qingshuang is right. Miss, you'd better not go out. If you go out so late, the master and the mistress will be worried."

Dianxue also hurried to persuade them.

"Girl, just stay home peacefully."

After hearing what Qingshuang said, Zhao Huayin calmed down. It was indeed inappropriate for her to run off to look for someone now.

Not to mention whether I can find the person, even if I do, if she doesn't say anything for sure, there's really nothing I can do.

It would be better to hand the matter over to Prince Jin's Mansion. They will definitely find a way to make her tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huayin's heart calmed down.

"Alright,"

Zhao Huayin sat down.

"Qingshuang should go to the Jin Palace and tell His Royal Highness the Jin Palace about the situation in the Xuan Palace and ask him to be careful.

It would be best to find out what King Xuan's intentions are and who he wants to harm."

"Yes, I will go right away, don't worry young lady."

Qingshuang went out and quickly rushed to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Lu Ying was applying medicine to Yan Qi. The wound on Yan Qi's shoulder was still bleeding, but he seemed not to feel the pain and just sat there with a calm expression.

After listening to Qingshuang's account of what she had investigated, Yan Qi frowned slightly.

"Has she been investigating Zhou Pei and Yu Ying'er?"

"Yes, young lady has been following the movements of these two people. I guess..."

Yan Qi glanced at Qing Shuang who was hesitant to speak.

"Say!"

"I feel like the young lady hates these two people very much, as if she has a very deep hatred for them. However, I have been with her for so long, but I don't know where this hatred comes from."

"Really? Hatred..."

Yan Qi pondered for a while.

“Since this is a matter concerning the backyard of Prince Xuan’s Mansion, we should not intervene rashly. However, if someone who shouldn’t have entered the backyard of Prince Xuan’s Mansion has entered, we should have the city defense battalion conduct a thorough search.

Go and call Feiying back. If the people from the city defense camp want to go in, they will have to negotiate with the people from Prince Xuan's mansion. It doesn't matter whether other people can go in or not. Feiying will just go in and take a look at the situation."

"Yes, I understand. I just don't know when is the best time to go."

"Of course, we have to wait until everyone in Prince Xuan's Palace falls asleep and relaxes their vigilance."

Yan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Just tell Feiying about the matter and go back. Let your daughter rest in peace. I'm here."

"Yes!"

When Qingshuang returned to the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Huayin had indeed not rested yet. Only after hearing Qingshuang say that things had been done did she rest with peace of mind.

Although Yan Zhao told Zhao Huayin that she didn't need to see him off, Zhao Huayin still got up early and prepared some things to send to Yunshangfang.

Most of the things inside were things that Zhao Huayin had prepared for Jin Yu, her daughter's family. No matter how meticulous Yan Zhao was, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of so many things.

When Zhao Huayin arrived, Yan Zhao had packed everything and was preparing to leave.

The two chatted for a while, and then Yan Zhao got up and said goodbye to Ji Yunshan.

Yunshangfang is managed by Madam Qian, and all the employees are in good order. Zhao Huayin looked around the store and found nothing wrong.

I went to see Yunniang and several other embroiderers. They were making very fast progress and I thought the dress would be finished in three days at most.

After inspecting the shops, Zhao Huayin planned to buy some things to take back, so she asked the driver to turn the car to Tianxianglou.

Zhao Huayin bought some snacks that Shen Bi liked, and also bought some soft and easy-to-digest foods, preparing to send them to Yan's mother.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Huayin came out after shopping, a ragged man bumped into her.

Qingshuang immediately took action and pushed the man away.

The man did not hit Zhao Huayin, but a jar in his hand fell to the ground and broke, and the contents spilled all over the floor.

Even the hem of Zhao Huayin's skirt was stained.

Before she could look at her skirt, perhaps because her eyes were dazzled, Zhao Huayin saw something splattered on the back of her hand, which looked like blood.

When Zhao Huayin looked again, the blood on the back of her hand turned into ordinary water in just a moment.

Zhao Huayin just thought she was dazzled.

"Girl! Are you okay?"

Liuyun hurried forward to check on Zhao Huayin, and was relieved to see that Zhao Huayin was not injured.

"How can you be so reckless! Can't you even walk?"

Liuyun stepped forward and questioned.

Dianxue supported Zhao Huayin and wanted to use a handkerchief to wipe Zhao Huayin's skirt, but was stopped by Zhao Huayin.

"It's hard to clean it from left to right. Don't bother. I'll change it in the car later."

Then he said to the flowing clouds,

"Liuyun! Forget it. I'm not hurt. I don't think she did it on purpose. Let's go."

Zhao Huayin looked at the person who had just bumped into her. Only now did she realize that it was a woman. Her clothes were so loose that her whole body seemed to be swaying in them.

Her face was covered with a headscarf, so her features could not be seen clearly. She was shoeless, and her fingers were exposed, looking dry and thin like firewood.

After being blocked by Qingshuang, he shrank aside and didn't even look up at Zhao Huayin, whom he had almost bumped into. He just stood there motionless.

Maybe she had some disease and her mind was not clear. She wanted to stop being scared. Zhao Huayin couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. She asked Dianxue to give her some silver before leaving.

"Just now, the beggar almost bumped into the girl, but the girl didn't get angry and even gave her money."

When I walked out, a piece of flowing cloud was still muttering indignantly.

"I don't know what she was holding in her hands. She even stained the girl's skirt. What a pity for such fine snow-white satin."

Zhao Huayin was helpless and tapped Liuyun's forehead with her hand.

"You are not usually so talkative. It's just a small amount of change. Why are you so stingy?

I think she is a pitiful person, and your daughter is fine and not injured, so why don't you just stop arguing with her?"

"The girl has always been kind-hearted. Seeing that person is pitiful, how could she care about it? Don't you know the girl?"

Dianxue also chimed in.

"The girl's skirt is dirty. Let's go back and change it for her."

Liuyun then gave up, and the few of them went to the carriage while talking.

Qingshuang followed beside them and watched the three of them bickering and laughing. The corners of her mouth curled up and her expression softened a little.

Zhao Huayin was sitting in the carriage on the way back home. She couldn't help but take another look at the place where something had just splashed on her. She felt something strange in her heart.

But there was no sign of injury on his hand. Zhao Huayin thought to herself that she was being too suspicious, then put the thought aside and went back home.
