She spoke with sincerity, "But this servant knows that this servant's mind is stupid and his hands are unfortunate. If I were to follow by Miss's side, I'm afraid that it would be of no use."

"I'm not afraid of you, it's useless." An Lingyi retracted her gaze coldly, "I'm not in a good mood right now, why don't you accompany me for a walk around."

The servant girl didn't dare to refuse and quickly followed her out.

The night shrouded the earth, and the crescent moon hung high in the sky. A few stars flickered, and the Prince An's Palace was completely tranquil.

An Lingyi brought her servant to stroll around the palace, and in the end, somehow shifted to Parasol House.

"Miss, it's eldest Miss's courtyard."

The servant lowered her voice, but An Lingyi just glared at her, "Of course I know this is An Lingge's courtyard, could it be that I can't come here anymore?"

Of course not, but the eldest young miss was probably already asleep by this time. If the young miss wanted to find trouble with the eldest young miss, she would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

The servant groaned in her heart, only to see An Lingge's courtyard still had a light on, and a figure walking out from it.

An Lingyi immediately took a step back and hid herself in the darkness with her servant girl, "It's so late, and An Lingge is still awake, the person who came out of her room was probably her servant."

She lowered her voice and muttered to herself. Seeing that she was walking towards the gatehouse, the doubt in her heart became deeper. She silently spoke to the servant girl for a while before quietly following behind her.

Brightheart picked a light and walked in front, looking around. This cautious look made An Lingyi feel like there was something fishy, and she followed behind her closely from a distance.

They quickly arrived at the gatehouse. An Lingyi hid behind a rock garden and peeked her head out.

Mingxin spoke a few words familiarly with the gatekeeper. Then, he took out a silver coin from his sleeve and handed it to the gatekeeper. The latter smiled and quietly opened the door a crack.

There was indeed a problem!

Just as An Lingyi was about to rush out and order her men to capture Ming Xin, she did not leave the house. Instead, a tall and skinny figure came in from outside.

Her footsteps paused, and the servants behind her did not dare to move, either. Following An Lingyi's gaze, they saw the man who came in carrying a large sack, following behind Ming Xin, heading in the direction of the Parasol House.

"So it's my secret lover." An Lingyi scoffed. She looked down on him, but didn't immediately capture him, instead, she secretly followed behind Ming Xin and the man. It wasn't until she saw the man enter the Parasol House that she smiled.

"An Lingge, it was your own servant that did such a shameful thing, don't blame me for framing you."

She quietly instructed her servant to pretend that she was not paying attention to anything, and to lure the guards over. At that time, she would say that An Lingge did not want to be left alone, and if she got involved with another man, Prince Mu’s Palace would definitely hate this kind of woman, An Lingge, and break the engagement with her.

However, Ming Xin did not head towards An Lingge's house, but instead brought the man to the servants' rooms.

An Lingyi secretly clenched her teeth. At this time, even if she brought the guards over, she could not pour the dirty water on An Lingge.

She stomped her feet in anger and accidentally caught a glimpse of the package in the corner of her eyes. She then ordered the maidservant to secretly check what was inside the package.

She was afraid, but she did not dare disobey her master's orders. She could only brace herself and sneak out of the room, poking a hole in the window paper to look at what was going on inside.

With that thought in mind, she untied the package and looked at the herbs that filled the room. She did not dare to stay any longer and immediately returned to An Lingyi's side.

"Did you see what was inside?" An Lingyi looked at the movement inside her heart, and asked her servant.

The maidservant nodded, her expression somewhat flustered, "In reply to the missy, this servant can clearly see that the package is filled with medicinal herbs."

Medicinal material?

An Lingyi frowned, she did not know why that man brought so many medicinal ingredients.

She was disappointed and gave up the idea of wandering around. Instead, she brought her maidservant to her own courtyard.

"Yi Er, I sent someone to the Imperial Palace yesterday and sent a letter to your aunt. I originally wanted her to help me find out how much the emperor knows about the events at the Jingdu Academy, but didn't expect your aunt to say that the emperor had been extremely busy lately, and didn't go to her place for a long time, so she couldn't get any news either."

"How did this happen?" An Lingyi was not worried about herself, she had already pushed the servant out to face the consequences. Who would still not let go?

However, her outer sect ancestor was originally just a small government official and didn't have any powerful backing. Being able to enjoy the glory of Prince An's Palace was only due to the favor of the Imperial Noble Consort Li s within the palace.

If the Imperial Noble Consort Li was treated coldly by the emperor, then An Lingge would definitely press down on her head and would never be able to turn things around.

"Your aunt said that the Qingyue Kingdom has disturbed the borders in the recent days, and is ready to go to war. The emperor is currently troubled about this matter, so how could he have the mood to stay in the imperial harem?"

An Lingyi was not born in a family of generals, so she naturally did not know anything about this information.

"Then what about cousin? Cousin should at least get some information from the emperor, right?"

The Madam Li sighed, "How could it be that easy. The last time you married Prince Yi’s Palace, it was settled by the Seventh Prince himself. It was precisely because of this matter that the conflict between Seventh Prince and Prince Yi’s Palace was not too good, so the Emperor is blaming him."

An Lingyi had never known that the emperor would actually scold the Seventh Prince because of his Prince Yi’s Palace.

"If cousin caught a spy from the Qingyue Kingdom at this time, would the Emperor look at him in a different light?" An Lingyi suddenly thought of two things, the worry on her face faded as she revealed a sinister smile.

Seeing her like this, Madam Li knew that she had an idea in her mind, "This matter is not a joke, don't tell me you have information on that spy?"

Existences between countries had always existed. It was just that very few people could see through them and capture them.

"Mother, yesterday I saw An Lingge's servant bringing a man into the residence after entering the night. That man even brought a large package filled with medicinal ingredients."

Madam Li only needed a moment to understand what An Lingyi meant, "You mean that man is strange?"
