Chapter 264

Shao Qing was rather anxious, his hands tightly clenched as he confided in Song Jiyun, "It's been three Shichen since we've heard from the Young Master. One can't fight off four hands with two fists. If anything happens to the Young Master... I... I would never be able to live with the guilt!"

However, Song Jiyun had her own worries. She said, "That Prince Ning, does he really dare to be so reckless and bold? No matter what, Young Master Yuan is the Inspector General, the imperial envoy. If not for the monk, then for the Buddha's face, wouldn't he fear the emperor's reprimand?"

Shao Qing gave a bitter smile and responded, "Perhaps it's precisely because the Young Master is a close official to the emperor that Prince Ning is deliberately making things difficult for him!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jiyun became increasingly agitated, picked up the tea cup, took a couple of sips, found the tea had cooled and tasted bitter, so she set it down again.

Is there a way to resolve this?
