Jiyun left the palace and went directly back to Pocket Alley.
Qin Fang, however, waited outside the Qianqing Palace for a while.
Nowadays, Yuan Haoran was in charge of the Ministry of Works. A few days ago, his nephew had taken on a task there, and he was thinking that once Yuan Haoran came out, he surely would not be in a good mood. He planned to say a few comforting words and speak well of his nephew in front of Yuan Haoran when the nephew went to report to the Ministry of Works.
Little did he know that he would wait outside for almost an hour without seeing either Yuan Yunzhong or Yuan Haoran come out. He couldn't help but gesture to a young eunuch on duty at the Qianqing Palace, "Go see when Lord Yuan and Elder Yuan will be able to come out?"
The young eunuch tiptoed into the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.
