Teng Fei was startled, and suddenly understood, "It’s Master Yun Qi!"
Yun Jinnian is Yun Qi’s daughter, so naturally they were looking for Yun Qi.
"Please wait a moment!"
The doorman immediately went to call Yun Qi.
Yun Qi was in high spirits tonight, after having enjoyed himself several times with Aunt Xi, he still couldn’t sleep, and was having a little drink alone in the study.
"Second Master, Teng Guard from the Great Zhou Crown Prince’s side requests to see you!"
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow.
In the middle of the night, what could this be about?
"Have him meet me in the main hall!"
After tidying up his clothes, he went to the main hall.
Teng Fei had already been waiting for a while, and upon seeing Yun Qi he politely cupped his hands, "Master Yun, the Crown Prince had an assassination attempt made on him and instructed me to invite Princess Yijia to attend him for a consultation!"
Yun Qi looked at the time; it was the dead of night...
"Please wait a moment, I’ll send someone to call her, but it takes a while for a girl to get ready, especially after yesterday’s busy day..."
"I understand, but...!" Teng Fei began but then stopped.
Yun Qi feigned ignorance.
Where would you find someone calling a girl in the middle of the night to consult on a case?
Have all the doctors in the Capital City died out?
Or is Zhou Yunshen truly gravely injured, teetering on the brink of death? But if he were, Teng Fei wouldn’t have this expression on his face.
Yun Jinnian woke up drowsily upon hearing a low call, yawning, "What did you say?"
"The Great Zhou Crown Prince was injured by an assassin, Teng Guard is here to request you to visit for a consultation!"
"An assassination attempt?" Yun Jinnian murmured, inexplicably thinking of Chu Yu.
The hint of blood on Chu Yu today suggested that his journey had not been peaceful.
And then Zhou Yunshen was attacked at night...
She didn’t believe these two events were unrelated!
"Understood, go give a response, I’ll get ready soon and head over!" Yun Jinnian instructed Hemei.
This time, she decided to bring Hemei and Henuan with her, but if she had a brother accompany her, there would be no room for gossip.
Yet she’d rather not mention her three cousins!
As for her father Yun Qi, she didn’t have any expectations at all.
Having rushed to the main hall after getting ready, Yun Qi gave a few instructions and turned to leave.
Yun Jinnian stood still, lips pressed together, hands clenching into fists within her sleeves, finally relaxing.
What was she expecting!
With a sarcastic smile, she suppressed the disappointment and relief and walked outside.
A deep voice called out.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian turned her head, seeing her third uncle Yun Bi hurriedly tidying his clothes, his hair a bit messy.
His steps were somewhat disordered too.
For a moment, Yun Jinnian seemed to find the fatherly love she had longed for in him.
Yun Bi quickly walked to Yun Jinnian’s side and reached out to touch her head, "I’ll go with you!"
She suddenly felt her heart didn’t ache anymore, wasn’t hurt anymore.
Yet her eyes felt slightly sore, nodding with a muffled voice as she followed Yun Bi outside.
Intentionally or otherwise, she moved in closer to him!
Yun Bi was perceptive, how could he not understand Yun Jinnian’s little thoughts? He slowed his pace, letting Yun Jinnian walk slowly along.
If, if only he had been a little braver back then, she would have been his daughter, not Yun Qi’s ungrateful daughter.
But regardless of whose daughter she was, she bore Shuniang’s bloodline, and he shared the same father and mother with Yun Qi, surely Jinnian had his blood in her veins too!
She is naturally also his daughter!
Together they got on the carriage, Yun Jinnian sat beside Yun Bi, with Teng Fei on the opposite side, and Hemei and Henuan across from Teng Fei.
"Teng Guard, is the Crown Prince’s injury serious?" Yun Jinnian asked.
"The injuries to his body are not serious, but his face was slashed deep enough to see the bone!"
