After hearing what Hua Yan had to say, Tian Bujue felt his unease smooth out.
An Shiqi glanced around and, seeing that Maid Fang had quietly retreated after their arrival, he stepped forward and asked Hua Yan in a low voice, "Young Master, is the destination you've decided on the Hot Spring Palace in the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace?"
Hua Yan nodded.
An Shiqi then asked, "Will the Crown Prince be accompanying you?"
Hua Yan nodded again.
With some confusion, An Shiqi lowered his voice further, "Young Master, the gentleman said that ancient books related to the Yun Clan's Forbidden Technique left by the Nanchu Royal Family are stored there. If you keep that matter from the Crown Prince and he discovers it while accompanying you, what will we do?"
Hua Yan confidently said, "I won't give him the chance to find out."
