After Nian Gengyao's attendant, Nian Yi, returned to the Capital, he did not immediately meet the person he intended to see.
Since he was returning to the Capital under the pretext of visiting a sick family member, he needed to put on a convincing act. Naturally, he first went back to his residence to perform the charade of seeking medical advice and treatment.
However, as people age, they often suffer from illnesses without needing to pretend, and the elderly matriarch of the Nian family indeed was not in good health.
Thus, the medicinal materials given by Prince Zhi were indeed used.
It wasn't until early October that Nian Yi finally met with Second Prince Hongfen.
At Cuiyun Building in the Capital, Nian Yi knelt and bowed his head, "Greetings and blessings to Your Highness. Our master has instructed this servant to show his respects to you."
"Rise now, you are a general yourself and should not behave this way," Hongfen said with a smile.
