Gufengâs running posture was quite like a little rabbitâs.
Huang Ying walked in with a tea tray, looking a bit puzzled, âWhat was that thing that just ran out?â
âGufeng.â
âWhy is he still here?â Huang Ying was surprised, âMaster, this isnât right. Itâs already a special favor from the Emperor to have Gucheng here. We absolutely canât have Gufeng here as well.â
âThere are quite a few Imperial Guards in the Harem, so why canât we have one more Gufeng?â
âNo matter how many Imperial Guards there are, theyâre all the Emperor and Crown Princeâs people. Gucheng and Gufeng, on the other hand, are both from the Jiang Family. Itâs different.â Huang Ying whispered, âYou canât break the Haremâs taboos.â
Jiang Ning laughed, âI know, donât worry. In a few days when Gucheng is better, Iâll have him leave. How is Gucheng doing?â
âThe fever has subsided, but the Imperial Physician instructed him to rest for another two days and not go outside in the wind.â
âAlright.â
Jiang Ning nodded.
At this time, Gufeng ran in and saw Huang Ying glaring at him. His cheeks flushed red, and he hung his head, taking small steps towards them: âSeventh Miss, Iâm back.â
Huang Ying said coldly, âGufeng, for these two days while Gucheng is recovering, even though youâre here, you canât always stay in the Masterâs room. Youâre not a Eunuch, so what kind of propriety is this? If the news gets out, the Crown Prince wonât be happy.â
Gufeng was a little at a loss, his eyes turning red. âI understand. Iâll just report this matter and then leave.â
Seeing his mood, Jiang Ning suddenly felt pity for him, âHuang Ying, why are you being so harsh? Gufeng, come and sit down, massage my legs again, your technique is very good.â
Gufeng immediately brightened up, âI had some free time, so I learned some massage techniques from Gulin.â
âWho is Gulin?â
âGulin is good at medical treatments.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh, how many of you are there in total?â
âIncluding Gucheng, there are twelve of us.â
âDo each of you have different abilities?â
âYes.â Gufeng nodded, âSince we were young, the General invited different masters to teach us. However, our Kung Fu was personally taught by the General.â
In her heart, Jiang Ning praised her honorable Uncle.
Impressive.
âYou just said there was some news? Did you get it?â
âI got it.â Gufeng handed Jiang Ning a note, âIt was sent from the Traveling Palace.â
âYou have informants in the Traveling Palace too?â
âNaturally.â Gufeng shyly smiled.
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrow, âAre these spies arranged by my father or by my Uncle? Is there any place in Changâan City that you canât monitor?â
âNo, no. Itâs not like that.â Gufeng hurriedly waved his hands, âYou misunderstood, Seventh Miss. The reason why Uncle sent people to watch the Traveling Palace is because Prince Xinhai has ill intentions towards you. Itâs just a precaution.â
âIt seems that âjust in caseâ has arrived.â Jiang Ning unfolded the note, glanced at it, and smiled, âThis is getting interesting.â
âWhat happened?â Huang Ying asked nervously.
âPrince Xinhai actually entered the palace.â
âReally?â Huang Ying was shocked, âAs an external male, how can he casually enter the Harem?â
âHe disguised himself as a maid working for Concubine Ya and entered the palace with her.â Jiang Ning handed the note back to Gufeng.
Gufeng tossed the note into the charcoal basin and burned it.
Huang Ying found it unbelievable, âThe dignified Prince Xinhai would actually dress as a woman to enter the palace. What on earth is he trying to do?â
Jiang Ning laughed, âWeâll find out what heâs up to soon enough.â
After dinner, Li Xiu came and said that the Crown Prince would be busy working in the Crystal Frost Hall tonight, so he wouldnât be coming over.
Jiang Ning went to check on Xiaoqian, then the two children before she prepared to wash up and go to sleep.
At that moment, a eunuch from the Starlight Palace came to request an audience, saying that Concubine Ya requested the Princess Consortâs presence.
