Translator: churnie

In He Qing Prince Palace courtyard where Feng Ming is staying, there’s no usual excitement and cheerfulness, absolutely silent.

The news from Yong Yin completely destroy the optimistic atmosphere that’s originally as pleasant as the warm sun. After knowing the news that Lie Er might be seriously injured and falling into the river, Rong Hu has been very silent, after dinner he will ask Luo Yun to take care of Feng Ming and enter the room alone.

Qiu Lan worriedly says: “Rong Hu, this person is always bored whatever happens in his heart, don’t know what illness he will suffer, this maid will go and see him.” She confesses her guilt to Feng Ming and chases Rong Hu.

Thinking of Lie Er’s uncertain life and death, Feng Ming can’t say how uncomfortable he’s. Looking at Qiu Yue and Qiu Xing on the left and right, they are frowning sadly, he difficultly console: “Don’t worry, Lie Er is different from others, he is ten times smarter than ordinary people, and he has been a spy in Yong Yin, everyone who can be a spy is better than a ghost…”

Halfway through, he suddenly thought of Xia Guan back then, shrewd, carefree, and skillful, not easy to lose his life.

A spy is originally a life-and-death occupation of hanging their own head on fate. Lie Er was missing in Yong Yin, was it possible that what he did in Yong Yin Palace was finally discovered by the King of Yong Yin, so they kidnapped Lie Er for revenge?

Feng Ming dare not to think about it anymore, his face worsen, now he has been sitting in the room blankly, always feeling frighten, at last he’s standing up and waves to everyone, he says, “Stop thinking about it, Yong Yin must have news soon. You can do whatever you have to do.” He himself walking out too, trying to find something to do, so as not to worry about Lie Er the more he thinks about it.

Unexpectedly, just after stepping down the front step of the house, a master from the Xiao family hurried in from outside and says: “Young Master, a messenger comes and says that he wants to invite Young Master out to see his master.”

Luo Yun asks from the side: “Whose messenger? Where to go out to meet his master?”

The Xiao family master’s attitude towards Luo Yun is a bit more respectful than to this Young Master Feng Ming, he replies: “The woman refused to say, but she said there was a letter in her hand, and the young master would know who it was when he read it.”

He knows the rules and takes out the letter, instead of directly handing it to Feng Ming, he hands it to Luo Yun first.

Luo Yun opens the letter directly, glances at the signature and seal, put the letter to his nose and sniffs it before handing the letter to Feng Ming, who’s already curious. “It’s from Ziyan.”

Ziyan’s writing is neat and orderly, and his penmanship is strong, quite similar to Rong Tian, ​​and Feng Ming more or less can recognize it. After reading the text message in a hurry, Feng Ming also shows a puzzled expression, “Ziyan’s letter has no beginning and no end, just say to follow the messenger immediately, and we’ll talk about the details when we get to the place. It’s weird, why does he ask me to immediately follow her so mysteriously? Aiyah!” He suddenly exclaims, his expression change: “Did something happen to Ziyan in Tong’an Courtyard? But why didn’t Prince He Di even bring a message? No way! We have to hurry up and take a look! “

Luo Yun grabs Feng Ming and sees that the young master of the Xiao family is in such a panic that he almost wants to cast a disdainful look, after enduring it, he says very calmly: “The young master must have guessed wrong. Although I haven’t been with Ziyan for a long time, this person’s eyes are firm and upright, and he is a loyal person. If he is in danger, he will never write a letter asking the young master to take a risk to rescue him. This subordinate estimates that he wrote this letter maybe had found out that there was something that need to beware around the Young Master, so he sent someone over to invite you to meet face-to-face.”

Luo Yun’s words are not too warm in anyway, but surprisingly makes Feng Ming feel relieved.

Think about it carefully, Ziyan is indeed such a person.

Feng Ming a little bit feels relieved and nods: “You are right, let’s follow the people who come here to see what’s important thing Ziyan had.” Then he orders the subordinates outside to prepare the horses, calls Rong Hu out of the room and asks carefully, “Rong Hu, are you a little bit better? I received a letter from Ziyan and want to go out. You stay here to help me look out of Qiu Lan and the others, okay?”

Rong Hu also takes Ziyan’s letter over and read it, and says, “It is indeed Ziyan’s writting.” He shakes his head and refuses Feng Ming’s thoughtfulness, and says with a serious face: “This subordinate has been ordered to guard Duke Ming, if Duke Ming went out, how could he not be guarded by this subordinate?”

Everyone is ready, and Feng Ming comes out surrounded by them.

Shi Min is the messenger sent by Princess Chang Liu, in order not let people from Qing Zhang Palace found her out, Shi Min deliberately changed into a men’s suit and wore a wide-brimmed black hat to cover her face, but because of her exquisite figure, she was seen as a woman by the Xiao family master at first glance. She is waiting anxiously outside, seeing Feng Ming finally came out, she breaths a sigh of relief and goes up to meet him, “Duke Ming, please come with me, we’ll give the details as soon as you get to the place.”

Everyone gets on the horse, before they have taken more than ten steps, they happen to bump Luo Ning who comes back from work.

Luo Ning asks, “Where is the young master going to go?”

Feng Ming doesn’t suspect him, so he tells Ziyan’s letter asking him to follow Shi Min.

Actually Luo Ning had just left the house for a private meeting with his sister Luo Qian Qian to discuss about how to lend somebody a knife to kill someone, to put Feng Ming to death without showing a face. He once met Shi Min, and when he saw that Shi Min was the so-called messenger, he had begun to suspect that the rumors about Qing Zhang had leaked out, on one side his mind is whirling, but on the other side he calmly says: “This subordinate will follow the young master. The Tong kingdom is not safe place, everyone be careful.”

Shi Min has a good impression of Luo Ning and says gladly beside him: “It would be nice to have Leader Luo following us.”

Shi Min leads the way and dares not go directly to the gate of the Tong’an Courtyard. Taking advantage of the twilight, she chooses a path to go around the side door of the Tong’an courtyard. 

Rong Hu shouts them to stop, “Wait a minute, isn’t this the Prince Qing Li’s residence?”

Feng Ming is unusually calm, “Since Ziyan asked us to come here, Ziyan must have a reason. Don’t doubt your employee, just follow her.”

Luo Ning is surprised to hear this. No doubt about employing people? A thought-provoking sentence or two often came out of this little bastard’s mouth.

Unfortunately, he is Yaoye’s son, that kid Luo Yun’s natural opponent.

Everyone enters the Tong’an courtyard under the cover of the night, and Princess Chang Liu more or less has already managed the inside and outside. Fortunately, things are not too difficult to handle, regarding the handling of Qing Li and Changyi, and the group of “master assassins,” most of the chamberlains on the surrounding of the Tong’an courtyard don’t know the real situation, the senior inner chamberlains are more or less aware of the rumors but they all sympathize with Princess Chang Liu.

Heaven knows, regarding the muddle-headed Qing Li, too many people can’t bear to see Changyi bossing around in the Tong’an courtyard for these three months. Once Chang Liu explained that Chang Yi was a spy and also used drugs to harm Qing Li, who wouldn’t secretly support Chang Liu’s way of correcting the chaos.

Princess Chang Liu with a slightly protruding stomach of three months pregnant, personally welcomes Feng Ming and others into the room and says with a smile of relief: “Finally, Duke Ming is here, Chang Liu is just afraid that the news will leak, causing that bad guy Qing Zhang attacking Duke Ming.” Feng Ming’s impression of Qing Zhang is still good, and so he’s taken aback when he heard it, “What does the princess mean?”

Before he could finish his words, Chang Liu hands him a letter and says softly: “The matter is too complicated for Chang Liu to explain it clearly. However, your envoy left a letter, Duke Ming will understand it after reading it.”

Luo Yun is the first to open the letter and after checking out that it’s not poisonous, everyone leans over and surrounding Feng Ming to see what mysterious secret Ziyan has.

Ziyan wrote very carefully in the letter, how he found the clues, how He Di secretly changed the drugs, when Qing Li seemed to have some improvement, when Chang Yi went out and met her co-conspirators, but didn’t explain why he couldn’t personally report these problems to Duke Ming. But this will take time later, and Feng Ming doesn’t have time to think about it now.

When everyone looks at the thrilling content inside, they are shocked in a cold sweat, they don’t expect that Qing Zhang who’s seemingly all smiles and provide them with a comfortable place to stay, turns out to be such a guy with a human face but animal heart, even Qing Li’s attempt to murder Feng Ming, all are made by Qing Zhang alone!
