This time, as Pei Yuqing leaves the Capital City, encountering danger seems almost unavoidable; it all depends on how he handles it.
He is no ordinary man, yet no matter how extraordinary, he is not invulnerable.
Even someone as clever as Ji Chengfeng could be outsmarted and die of a plague.
Xie Wanneng had suspected if Lu Ziyuan was involved in that matter, but she hasn't seen him since the palace banquet. Except for the jet-black eagle occasionally flying to her window, with a bamboo tube hanging from its neck, possibly containing sealed letters, he never actively appeared before her again.
Yun Jin, being highly intelligent, even knows to appear when no one else is around. Despite this, Xie Wanneng has never removed the bamboo tube.
