Just as Ning Fu was about to scold Zhou Sheng for leading the monarch astray, he realised that a group of people were going up a flight of stairs.
With a fugitive glance, he noticed that they had entered the rooms that were earmarked for dining and felt that he could finally breathe properly.
The more important point was that he noticed a few young masters from the capital were in that group and all of them had one thing in common.
Before His Majesty had returned to the Imperial Capital, these Young Master's fathers had always fawned upon the first prince - Prince Xi.
It didn't take much thought to realise what was going on in Zhou Sheng's mind.
All of them followed as Su Li staggered up the stairs.
When she made as if to fall, Ning Fu caught her by her arms and was rewarded with a smile for his efforts.
The truth was that Su Li wasn't drunk.
