The next day.
Shangguan Street.
Ji Ruyan had already changed into men's clothing and, along with the Crown Prince Fu Yuesheng, was on her way to visit the Imperial Censor, Lord Chen Weiqi's residence.
Ji Ruyan was still wearing a silver mask, and the Crown Prince Fu Yuesheng had been dug out of bed by Ji Ruyan early in the morning, then he came empty-handed to Shangguan Street.
"Ruyan, why did you have me come to Lord Chen's house early in the morning?"
"If it were not for a reason, why would I come here? I'm not idle! Since His Majesty has already issued the Imperial Edict, and Miss Chen is to marry Yuanzhao, shouldn't we ask about her own wishes? If she is unwilling, and we end up forging a pair of adversaries, then it would be our fault!"
Ji Ruyan gave him a sideways glance, stating her purpose outright.
The Crown Prince Fu Yuesheng yawned, "Is it just for this matter?"
"What? By the look on your face, you seem to have known already?"
