Chapter 219: The Attendant’s Opinion of Ying Lan (1/2)
“Commander Ying, are you okay? Why did you accept it? There is an old saying, ‘Being close to the sovereign can be as perilous as lying with a tiger.’ Even though the First Prince is still just a prince, his temperament is exactly the same as the old emperor. He is sinister and hard to predict. I’m afraid it will be bad for you to attend the dinner by yourself.” There was a concerned expression on the innkeeper’s face. Those who didn’t know would think that Ying Lan was marching towards the gates of hell instead of going to a feast organized by a prince.
Instead of complaining, Ying Lan laughed and explained, ”Old Zhang, do you think nothing will happen if I declined this invitation card?”
Old Zhang understood the meaning of Ying Lan's words. Even if Commander Ying was the Palace Master of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, he was still a tier lower than the imperial clan. Old Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something but swallowed the words back down in the end.
”I will be visiting the general’s residence at noon tomorrow. Prepare Divine Physician Bai’s favorite snacks. It has been a long time since Mistress had her favorite snacks. She should be craving for some.” Ying Lan might be thinking of a lot of things, but he didn’t allow the innkeeper to notice.
When the attendant returned to the First Prince’s residence, Pei Rumo was still asleep. The attendant felt that it had been too long since his master took a good rest and decided that it wasn’t too late to report the matter after his master woke up.
As such, the attendant made his way to the study and packed the room before Pei Rumo’s arrival.
It was almost lunchtime and seeing that Pei Rumo had yet to wake up, the attendant stopped everything he was doing and decided to head over to the main courtyard. He was shocked when he opened the door of the study and ran into Pei Rumo.
“Has the matter been settled?” When Pei Rumo saw his attendant leaving his study, he casually threw his question out.
“In response to Master’s question, this servant completed the task. Master doesn’t have to worry.” The attendant replied respectfully.
Pei Rumo nodded and stepped into the study. He noticed that the study room was much tidier compared to before and became slightly confused. “You packed the room?” The study room had plenty of imperial notices and there were some that involved the Cloud Water Nation’s secrets.
Pei Rumo glanced at the attendant with a profound light flashing in his eyes. ”I’m not blaming you. However, I’m afraid someone might have touched something when both of us were absent.”
