The two arrived swiftly.
"What instructions does the young madam have?"
Xingxing had already removed the hairpins from her hair. Under the light, her face glowed like beautiful jade, yet her tone was cold. "Jiang Yang, tomorrow, you are to help me investigate whether Bai Yanxi has been in contact with these scholars who have come to the capital to take the examination recently."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang answered confidently, "Young Madam, I have had men watching Bai Yanxi since the day after the fire in the paper mill. He probably knows that you and King Rui may conspire against him, so he has been very careful in his actions recently, staying behind closed doors and refusing to meet anyone except for when he goes to court or is summoned by His Majesty."
"Even on the day of his fifty-fifth birthday, His Majesty said that he could have a celebration, but he didn't. He even refused the gifts sent to him by each household."
