Zuo Xiangning smiled as she boarded the carriage, but the moment the curtains fell, her face darkened.
Min Gelao wouldn't have let Madam Min convey this message to Marquis Jingyuan without good reason.
This message must be of great importance.
Eight or nine out of ten, it was the Fourth Prince who had made a move to rebel, and His Majesty the Emperor wished for Lingxiao to eliminate the Fourth Prince. However, Min Gelao had astutely sensed the danger in this.
Out of affection for his own, Min Gelao took the risk to inform Min Yujia, asking her to pass it on to her.
But if His Majesty truly wished for Lingxiao to go, could Lingxiao refuse?
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and before Zuo Xiangning even reached the second door, she saw Lingxiao stride out from the courtyard to greet her, "Why have you come back so late?"
Lingxiao stepped forward and took her hand, "If you hadn't come back soon, I would have gone to the Zuo Residence to fetch you."
