Xue Xingyao said she couldn't help with rescuing Shen Mingji, but the next day, she still went to the Imperial Palace to request an audience with Mei Wanying.
Shen Mingji was a pillar of the Court who had won glorious victories at the Border. She believed Pei Yan would do everything in his power to find him.
But she still felt a little uneasy.
Power struggles were always cruel. Who knew if someone would try to take advantage of the chaos?
Asking Ah Yin to keep an eye on the situation was the most reliable option.
Through it all, Mei Wanying was the one person Xue Xingyao trusted most.
Even without a Harem full of catty concubines, Mei Wanying was still very busy.
She had to manage Harem affairs, as well as spend time with her three children and Pei Yan.
Pei Yan, in particular, grew more clingy with age. During the day, he would demand she accompany him in the Imperial Study Room.
And at night, he would cling to her and not let go.
