Today was fated to be a restless night for many, some out of worry, and others out of excitement.
Gu Ren pinched the message that had arrived; Yao Wenqi truly had many people in the Palace, and they struck with accuracy. He needed to find a way to poach all the old man's agents.
The Duke Ning Residence was filled with worry. Despite trying, they could not pry any information, and even a visit to the Crown Prince's Residence had been futile, as it remained tightly closed.
At the Crown Prince's Residence, a female officer said to the Crown Princess Consort, "Apart from Consort Ran's courtyard being quiet, there's been considerable commotion in the other courtyards."
The Crown Princess Consort replied, "Make sure everyone keeps a close watch."
"Yes," affirmed the female officer.
