After coming out of Miss Xu’s courtyard that afternoon, Cangyue returned to her room, immediately bathed, changed her clothes, and flopped into a chair, leisurely snacking on pastries.
Once she finished, she called Cangqing into her room to have dinner, taking the opportunity to warn him to keep his distance from Miss Xu.
Before she could finish, Weidong arrived to summon someone. Cangyue had assumed the Prince Regent wanted to see her, but to her surprise, he had specifically requested Cangqing. Cangyue was slightly taken aback, but she quickly guessed the reason. The Prince Regent’s desire to see Cangqing had, in all likelihood, to do with the Mother-Child Gu. Since Miss Xu was about to need the Gu, and Cangqing happened to have some, the Prince Regent was probably planning to have Cangqing hand them over rather than go through the trouble of sending letters all the way to the Shen Clan.
