The mansion wasn’t big. After walking past the courtyard and through a corridor, they arrived at a room.
Yan Qing pushed the door open and invited Mu Qinghe inside. “Please enter, Lieutenant Mu.”
Mu Qinghe thus entered the room.

A faint herbal fragrance lingered in the air of the warm room, and Rong Xiu was seated next to a bronze gilded furnace. He was dressed in a robe as white as the snow outside.
“Master, Lieutenant Mu is here,” announced Yan Qing respectfully.
Rong Xiu looked over.
It had been a while since they last met, but Rong Xiu appeared even more distinguished and alluring than before. Even Mu Qinghe couldn’t help but admit in his heart that the other man’s good looks were one of a kind.
A small smile formed on Rong Xiu’s lips. “Welcome to my humble abode, Lieutenant Mu. I apologize for the shabby welcome.”
“Weren’t you in Country Yao Chen? When did you arrive in Xi Ling?” asked Mu Qinghe, cutting to the chase. “If my memory serves me right, this mansion… was a gift from Chong Xu Cabinet’s Cabinet Master to Chu Liuyue. May I know why you’re staying here?”
Rong Xiu smiled. “I happened to be passing by Xi Ling while on business, so I thought I should pay Yue’er a visit since she’s here. She’s not staying in the city at the moment, so she lent this mansion to me for the time being.”
“To tell you the truth, I’m here because of this body of mine. An elder from Mingyue Tianshan has found a heavenly doctor who may be able to cure my illness completely. It just so happens that I suffered another relapse while I was passing by Xi Ling. Since I was also missing Yue’er, I decided to stay here and recuperate for the time being.” Rong Xiu put a fist to my mouth and coughed a couple of times. From his pale face and all, it seemed that he was telling the truth.

“There’s something I’d like to ask you, Prince Li,” said Mu Qinghe hesitantly.
“Please speak your mind, Lieutenant Mu.”
“Does Chu Liuyue… know anyone in Xi Ling? From what I heard, General Manager Yue of Hundred Herbs Building is very attentive toward her.”
“I never heard her mention that, but this is her first time in Xi Ling. Therefore, how could she possibly know anyone from here? As for that Hundred Herbs Building’s manager… I heard a thing or two about him, and I think it’s because she spent quite a bit of money there.” Rong Xiu lifted a corner of his mouth and said in a seemingly nonchalant manner, “Speaking of which, I heard that it was Lieutenant Mu who helped back Yue’er up on her visit to Hundred Herbs Building.”
For some reason, that smile didn’t reach his eyes and seemed rather cold instead.
When Mu Qinghe sensed the room’s drop in temperature, he moved his body slightly to shake off that cold feeling. “It’s what I should do since I brought her here to take part in the Wan Zheng Competition. But she moved out of my residence to this mansion not long after that, so there’s little interaction between us. I heard some things though… Jian Fengchi won a lot of money from betting on Chu Liuyue, so he shared a portion of his winnings with her. I think it was quite a tidy sum.”
“Is that so?” Rong Xiu drew out the question as he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
