Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After Xiao Dezǐ finished speaking, An Wangfei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mm, this Wangfei understands. Thank you for the trouble of Eunuch De specially making this trip to report peace to this Wangfei. I wonder if Eunuch De has any other matters to report?"

Xiao Dezǐ hurriedly bowed and replied, "Replying to Wangfei Niangniang, this servant has no other important matters to report. If Wangfei Niangniang has no further instructions, this servant will take his leave first."

An Wangfei smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Good, Eunuch De, walk slowly. Chunxi, you go see Eunuch De out."

Chunxi answered, "Yes, Wangfei Niangniang." Then she led Xiao Dezǐ toward the Men Kou.

Along the Lu Shang, Chunxi and Xiao Dezǐ talked and laughed, appearing very familiar. When they reached the Men Kou, Chunxi suddenly took out some broken silver from her bosom and stuffed it into Xiao Dezǐ's hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Dezǐ hurriedly declined, saying, "This won't do, Miss Chunxi, what is the meaning of this?"

Chunxi said with a grin, "Eunuch De, don't stand on ceremony with me! You came a long way to deliver a message to Wangfei Niangniang, and it was hard work along the way. This small token is just tea money for you!"

Xiao Dezǐ still hesitated, unwilling to accept. Seeing this, Chunxi feigned anger and said, "Eunuch De, if you don't accept, you're not giving me face! Could it be you still think this broken silver is too little?"

Seeing Chunxi insist so, Xiao Dezǐ could no longer decline and could only say with a smile, "Then alright, Miss Chunxi, I'll accept your kind intention. Many thanks for the bestowal, Miss!"

Just like that, Xiao Dezǐ accepted the broken silver Chunxi gave, then bid farewell to Chunxi and turned to leave.

At this time, Yan Shuang'er and Shangguan Xingyu, upon hearing the news that someone had come to deliver a message, also hurriedly rushed to the Front Hall.

When they arrived at the Front Hall, Xiao Dezǐ had already left, leaving only An Wangfei sitting alone in the Front Hall, holding a cup in her hand, leisurely savoring fragrant tea.

Seeing the joyful smile blooming on An Wangfei's Lian Shang, the two looked at each other and their hearts immediately understood — it was definitely that Qianqian had news, and moreover, good news!

The two happened to meet on the way there, so they walked into the Room together and shouted in unison, "Mother~ Mufei~"

An Wangfei heard the voices and hurriedly stood up, saying with a face full of smiles, "Sit quickly, sit quickly!"

Yan Shuang'er could not suppress the anxiety in her heart and asked impatiently, "Is it that Qianqian has news?"

An Wangfei nodded repeatedly, replying with a beaming smile, "Yes, the Emperor has already sent people to find Qianqian! It's said she is not only safe and sound, but also successfully completed the Task!

It probably won't be long before Qianqian can return. And what's more, the Emperor even specially dispatched people to protect her!"

Shangguan Xingyu heard this, and a large stone in her heart finally settled; she let out a long breath and said, "That's good then."

However, her Eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had some doubts about An Wangfei's words. After hesitating a moment, she still asked, "Mufei, did the Eunuch who delivered the message say where Qianqian was found?"

An Wangfei heard this and suddenly froze, clearly not expecting Shangguan Xingyu to ask this question. After a slight hesitation, she replied, "This... he didn't say."

The doubts in Shangguan Xingyu's heart grew even heavier, but she did not continue to press, fearing it would arouse An Wangfei's suspicion. She rolled her eyes and changed the question: "Mufei, what else did the Eunuch who delivered the message say?"

An Wangfei recalled Xiao Dezǐ's words just now and couldn't help but repeat them once more: "The Emperor said..." Shangguan Xingyu listened quietly at the side, and after An Wangfei finished, she hurriedly comforted her: "Since it was Huang Bobe who sent people to find her, it's definitely safe, Mufei you can rest assured, you can sleep peacefully."

An Wangfei heard Shangguan Xingyu's words, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes yes, I also feel there shouldn't be any problem. Tonight have the Chufang make more delicious food; these Two Days everyone has had no appetite and all lost weight, we must properly replenish."

Shangguan Xingyu smiled and replied, "Alright, Mufei, I understand." Finished speaking, she suddenly felt a bit sleepy, so she said to An Wangfei, "Mufei, this child has been feeling very fatigued lately, I want to go back and lie down to rest for a while."

An Wangfei heard this and immediately said with concern, "Go on, go on, you're pregnant now, it's indeed easy to get sleepy. But you can't just lie around all the time; when it's time to walk you still need to walk a bit, that's good for both you and the child."

Shangguan Xingyu said gratefully, "Many thanks for Mufei's concern, this child has noted it down."

At this moment, Yan Shuang'er at the side interjected, "Mother, let me send Second Sister-in-law back, it happens to be on my way anyway."

An Wangfei immediately agreed, "Good, then I'll trouble Shuang'er."

Shangguan Xingyu saw this and also smiled at Yan Shuang'er, saying, "Then I'll trouble Younger Sister Shuang'er."

Yan Shuang'er hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "Second Sister-in-law, what are you saying, this is all what should be done."

Thus, Shangguan Xingyu, supported by Yan Shuang'er, slowly walked out of the Room.

Yan Shuang'er walked with light steps, shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Xingyu, together heading toward Shangguan Xingyu's residence.

Along the way, Yan Shuang'er seemed to have something weighing on her mind, but she still didn't speak, instead asking, "Second Brother still doesn't know?"

Shangguan Xingyu heard this and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, that smile blooming like spring flowers, brilliant and radiant. She replied softly, "Him, he's silly, hasn't discovered it even now."

The two looked at each other and smiled, continuing to walk and chat, the topic relaxed and Yu Yuan, laughter ringing out from time to time.

Before long, Shangguan Xingyu's residence was right before their eyes. Yan Shuang'er did not leave immediately, but stopped her Zu Bu, turned her head to Shangguan Xingyu and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I see the tea here is much better than mine, I wonder if I may mooch a cup?"

Shangguan Xingyu was slightly startled, then readily agreed, "Sure, of course." Finished speaking, she turned and instructed Xiao Huang at the side to brew tea.

However, Yan Shuang'er seemed not satisfied with just this; she immediately added, "Second Sister-in-law, I feel the Kitchen's osmanthus cake paired with this tea would definitely be even more fragrant." Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu unhesitatingly instructed another Yatou to fetch osmanthus cake.

After the two Yatou both received orders and left, only Shangguan Xingyu and Yan Shuang'er remained in the room. Yan Shuang'er saw the moment had come and asked bluntly, "Second Sister-in-law, do you feel the Eunuch who came to deliver the message concealed something from us?"

Shangguan Xingyu had actually already guessed what Yan Shuang'er was going to say next when Yan Shuang'er dismissed the Yatou. So she no longer concealed it, and laid out the doubts in her heart one by one.
