"Princess, what should we do now? If the person who comes to the palace is someone we know, we must be prepared." Xiang Zhu said anxiously, with a hint of anxiety between his brows.

Du Yunsheng sighed softly, looked up at the mottled raindrops outside the window, and said slowly: "Xiang Zhu, you have followed me for so long, you should know that we should not interfere in the affairs of the palace. Since we can't find out who it is, let's wait and see."

Xiang Zhu was still worried after hearing this. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Princess, if the people from the palace are bad for us, then won't we be attacked from both sides?"

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a firmness: "Xiang Zhu, don't worry, I know my limits. I have never lost in this Jiang Shaohan Mansion."

Xiang Zhu felt relieved after hearing this, but still a little uneasy. She thought for a moment and said, "Princess, do you want me to prepare something just in case?"

Du Yunsheng shook his head and said, "No need, Xiang Zhu, go and rest first. You don't have to worry about what's happening here."

Xiang Zhu couldn't say anything else, so she could only lower her head and reply, "Yes, Princess." Then she turned and left the room.

Du Yunsheng was the only one left in the room. She looked at the rain outside the window, with a million thoughts in her mind.

Just as Du Yunsheng was immersed in her own thoughts, the door opened gently and a figure walked in. She looked up and saw that it was Jiang Shaohan.

Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng, his eyes full of concern: "Yunsheng, I heard someone came from the palace, do you have any news?"

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "Shao Han, I already know. But I don't know who it is."

Jiang Shaohan frowned and said, "Then we have to be careful. Everyone in the palace is very careful. You have to be extra careful."

Du Yunsheng gently held Jiang Shaohan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. However, Shaohan, you also have to take care of your health. You have been busy with government affairs recently, so you have to take good care of yourself."

Jiang Shaohan was touched when he heard this. He patted Du Yunsheng's hand gently and said, "Yunsheng, don't worry, I will."

Soon, Xiang Zhu came in again. Seeing Du Yunsheng's expression, she asked cautiously, "Princess, are you worried about something?"

Du Yunsheng looked at Xiang Zhu and smiled, "Xiang Zhu, you understand me more and more. Indeed, I am a little worried. However, I believe that the prince will know his limits."

Xiang Zhu felt relieved after hearing this. She walked to Du Yunsheng and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will always be by your side and face everything together."

Du Yunsheng looked at Xiang Zhu, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She patted Xiang Zhu's hand and said, "Thank you, Xiang Zhu."

……

The next day.

Inside Prince Jing's mansion, the lights were just coming on, and the warm yellow light was sprinkled in the antique hall. Du Yunsheng sat on an exquisitely carved wooden chair, gently stroking the green teacup in his hand. The maid Xiang Zhu stood aside, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Princess, what do you think of the color of this tea?" Xiang Zhu asked softly.

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea, and nodded: "It's green in color and fragrant. It's good tea."

Xiang Zhu's eyes flashed with pride, and then he said, "Does the princess know the origin of this tea?"

Du Yunsheng put down the teacup and shook his head gently: "I don't know."

Xiang Zhu covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, and said mysteriously: "This tea was brought back by the prince from Jiangnan. I heard that the tea farmers there put a lot of thought into this tea."

There was a hint of surprise in Du Yunsheng's eyes. The prince had a special liking for tea, but no one expected that he would go to Jiangnan in person to look for tea.

"Your Highness really has good intentions." Du Yunsheng said with emotion.

As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door. A maid in a green dress walked in, holding an envelope in her hand.

"Princess, this is a letter from the prince. He wants you to take a look." The maid handed the letter to Du Yunsheng.

Du Yunsheng took the letter and unfolded it. It said: "My dear, I have gained a lot from my trip to Jiangnan today. I am sending you tea here, and I hope you can taste it."

After reading the letter, Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with warmth. She handed the letter to Xiang Zhu and said with a smile, "Your Highness is so considerate."

After reading the letter, Xiang Zhu also showed an envious look, and she said softly: "Princess, the prince is so good to you."

Du Yunsheng sighed softly and said, "Yes, he is really good to me. But I often worry whether this kindness can last forever."

Xiang Zhu looked at Du Yunsheng and comforted her: "Don't worry, Princess. The prince's heart is always with you."

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. After Du Yunsheng got up, she found that Xiang Zhu had already prepared breakfast. She looked at Xiang Zhu's busy figure, and a trace of gratitude welled up in her heart.

"Xiang Zhu, thank you for your hard work." Du Yunsheng said softly.

Xiang Zhu turned around and smiled, saying, "Princess, this is what I should do. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

Du Yunsheng looked at Xiang Zhu and felt warm in his heart.

……

After Du Yunsheng left, Jiang Shaohan asked the guard Tu Rong: "Tu Rong, what do you think about what happened today, Yunsheng..."

Tu Rong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess seems to be worried. Perhaps she is worried about your safety."

Jiang Shaohan nodded slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Well, I also think she seems to have something to say to me. But she never opened her mouth."

At this time, the atmosphere in the meeting hall of Prince Jing's mansion seemed a little heavy. Jiang Shaohan and Tu Rong sat opposite each other, and the silence between them seemed to tell something.

Tu Rong couldn't help but ask, "Prince, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with determination: "This matter is of great importance. I must go and get to the bottom of it myself. Tu Rong, you come with me."

Tu Rong immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I am willing to go with you."

That afternoon, Jiang Shaohan and Tu Rong quietly left Prince Jing's Mansion. They traveled all the way to a place called Nether Valley.

In a cave in Nether Valley, the two met a mysterious old man. The old man's eyes were shining with wisdom. When he saw them, he said, "Are you here to see me?"

Jiang Shaohan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, old sir. We want to know what happened this time."

The old man sighed and said, "Alas, this incident involves a power struggle in the palace. Someone wants to take this opportunity to weaken your power, Your Majesty, and then control the government."

Jiang Shaohan's face darkened and he asked, "Who is so bold as to plot against me behind my back?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this matter involves serious matters, so I cannot tell you directly. However, I can provide you with some clues and let you find the answers yourself."

Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with determination: "Okay, old man, please tell me these clues."

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "The clue is hidden in this Nether Valley. My Lord, you have to find it yourself."
