****************************
Shi Min had always followed all of Princess Zhang Liu’s commands, despite the risks of some of the orders. After a long journey to Han Ruo, she never would have expected the cold reception she received upon arrival. However, from what she has heard, the master of the Xiao Family was quite an eccentric character. The members of the group also were not people to provoke if one wanted to avoid danger. Is she considered things further, Duke Ming could be said to be the richest person in the world, with wealth that surpasses even the King’s. She had arrived late at night asking for an audience, of course they would suspect her of having strange intentions.
Things had already occurred as they have, she could only wait and see what happens from now on.
After waiting restlessly for a long time within the room, the sound of the door being pushed open finally replaced the silence.
Shi Min instantly stood up.
Sure enough, Luo Ning had returned. In his hands was a silk cloth with words written in ink that had yet to dry completely. The expression on his face was also more serious than it was before he left. “The Young Lord is already aware of the news you have brought. He appreciates Princess Zhang Liu’s kindness. In the future, he will be more careful in regards to Prince Qing Li’s machinations. Also, he requests Shi Min xiaojie bring back this letter to the capital. Upon it is the seal of the Xiao Family as proof of the Young Lord’s acknowledgment of the warning.”
Shi Min took the letter and examined it closely. The calligraphy was lively and bold, however the handwriting was a little bit ugly. On the letter, the words Feng Ming were written.
There was a chance the letter was drafted by a subordinate and signed by Duke Ming afterwards.
Shi Min had already expected the carelessness to be the extent of their thanks the princess. The letter was most likely to express their understanding that Qing Li’s evil deeds had nothing to do with Princess Zhang Liu.
The Xiao Family is not royalty, and the master of the group has always been secretive. Shi Min who has spent her life within the palace by the princess’ side would have little knowledge on how to distinguish between the seal of the Young Lord and the Xiao Family’s Assassins’.
Merely looking at the complex “Xiao” character and seeing the merchant ship’s banner imprinted on the cloth was enough to make her believe in its authenticity. Putting the silk cloth away carefully, she suddenly asked, “Duke Ming really doesn’t want to meet with me personally?”
“This kind of information absolutely cannot be leaked.” Luo Ning answered coldly. “Han Ruo is a part of the Tong Kingdom’s territory, and Qing Zhang, along with Zhuang Pu’s men, are within the city. We do not know if any of them may be Qing Li’s spies, after all, they are not our people. If you were to meet with the Young Lord and any possible spy notices, danger would fall upon your princess.”
Listening to his speculation, Shi Min instantly felt some admiration towards him.
This is a person worthy of being called the Xiao Family’s leader.
If this matter were to somehow be leaked to outsiders, there will definitely be serious consequences. The first person to suffer misfortune would be my Princess, Zhang Liu. Prince Qing Li is currently being seduced by that demoness and has lost his mind. As each day passes, his hatred towards the princess increases. Even now, he’s constantly trying to pick fights with her so he can later punish her.
If Prince Qing Li were to find out that the princess has sent someone to warn Duke Ming, he would immediately deem her as a traitor. There’s no telling what he would do to them if he were angered. There’s no doubt whatever it is would be terrifying.
As for Royal Uncle Qin Zhang, because of the fight between him and Qing Li for the throne, Princess Zhang Liu, who is Qing Li’s wife, is also hated by him.
Luo Ning observed her change of expression, confirming that she, who is the princess’ personal maid, completely believed his words now. His plans to control the information Shi Min had brought was succeeding accordingly. Without showing an ounce of his ugly intentions, he continued to say, “A person who has a close connection with the princess should not come in contact with the Young Lord. If anyone were to notice, suspicions would arise. If in the future, any new information is available, there is no need to send someone in case any mishap occurs that would reveal our secrets.”
“But…”
“If your side wishes to pass on any information, we have men located within the capital of Tong. You can search for their whereabouts and they will report the information to us. After that, I will promptly inform the Young Lord.” Having said that, Luo Ning provided Shi Min with the contact info for the men stationed in the capital.
By revealing such secret information, Shi Min was thoroughly convinced that Luo Ning was telling the truth and decided to follow his method of passing on news.
After making sure she understood everything clearly, Luo Ning asked her, “If the Young Lord has news he needs to inform your side, how can we contact you?”
Her admiration for the man once again resurfaced due to his attentiveness and preparation.
Due to serving by the princess’ side for so long, Shi Min had become adaptable to many different types of circumstances. She has played her hands in many situations, tasted plenty of delicious foods, participated in all kinds of conversations, and observed all kinds of different behaviours. It can be said that she is an expert in guessing other’s intentions. Looking at the person before her, she could tell he had a lot on his plate to deal with. She had journeyed back and forth from place to place, but while she had faced many frightful situations, this man had encountered much worse than hers. Because of that, her expressions softened and she no longer acted so coldly.
“I usually leave the palace to buy things for the princess. Our residence in the capital has a maid that works near the back entrance. You can ask her to bring your messages to Princess Zhang Liu’s personal maid, Shi Min. Just tell the informer to announce himself as my cousin, and I will later find an excuse to meet him outside.”
Luo Ning felt a bit odd listening to her use a gentle tone, glancing at her strangely, he nodded. “Understood. Shi Min xiaojie, please be on your way. Be careful on the road.”
Shi Min knew she could not linger here any longer. She firmly nodded her head and fixed her veil, once again covering up her entire face except for her beautiful eyes. Facing Luo Ning, she bid him farewell and turned to leave.
Finally she could feel at ease after completing the task. She had successfully delivered the princess’ letter and also acquired Duke Ming’s correspondence.
After sending Shi Min away, Luo Ning promptly wrote his own letter and stamped it with his seal. He called over someone he trusted and in a low voice, gave out an order. “Take this and immediately set out. Be sure to personally hand this over to Lady Qian Qian.”
The bright moon slowly came out from behind the clouds, piercing through the dark curtain of the night.
Its soft light began to envelop the earth.

Sleeping in a silky quilt, separated from Rong Tian, Feng Ming slept terribly. After a while, his body instinctively rolled around until it ended up tightly wrapped within Rong Tian’s embrace. Finally, with this artful skill of his, Feng Ming tranquilly curled up and slept soundly surrounded by Rong Tian’s familiar warmth.
Of course, the episode starring “Princess Zhang Liu and the Mysterious Visitor” would later become a significant event, however at this moment, our Young Lord was sleeping and snoring happily while weaving a beautifully perverted dream in Rong Tian’s embrace. He had absolutely no inkling of the plot that had been designed for him.
