Chapter 701 Rain On The Plantain Leaves (1/2)
Yun Shang was indeed here to relax, but Luo Qingyan didn't. Looking at Luo Qingyan, who had been commanding the secret guards all the time, Yun Shang found him a little funny. He seemed even busier here in the Yuan mansion.
It was getting dark. After Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan had supper, Yun Shang went to bed early. Luo Qingyan was still reading a book under the light. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at him, he smiled and said, ”I've asked the secret guards to investigate something and they haven't come back yet. I'll wait a little longer. You should rest early.”
Yun Shang nodded to him. She raised her hand and put down the bed curtain. It was quiet in the room. It began to rain outside. The rain fell on the plantain leaves. The constant pattering of raindrops mingled with the sound of turning the pages, making her feel peaceful inside.

”The Eldest Princess?” Yun Shang was surprised. She just heard the news from Ning Qian yesterday, and the Eldest Princess suddenly appeared today after they went out of the city. It's such a coincidence.
Luo Qingyan nodded. He slipped his hand through Yun Shang's hair and said with a smile, ”During our nap, the secret guard reported that they seemed to have found the traces of the Eldest Princess.”
”How did they find it?” Yun Shang frowned and asked.
”The spy I install in the city found it. He saw the Eldest Princess appear in a rice store. She bought fifty pounds of rice and rode out of the city. The secret guard followed her all the way and found that she lived on a mountain outside the Jin city. It's a thatched cottage provided for the hunters on the mountain where they went hunting. There were very few hunters going to the mountain in winter. She must have lived there for several days. ” Luo Qingyan said softly.
