Chapter 212

Xuanying Bureau. By midday, Wang Yan had received a report from his men. The person he had been keeping under surveillance had left the city. This brought a sense of triumph to his heart. He had always trusted his instincts when it came to reading people. Lately, he had noticed many unusual figures appearing in the entourage of Prince Qing. There was Niying from Yinxue Pavilion, for instance. And then there was that unsightly man who had appeared by Zhao Yi’s side that night. Wang Yan had had his people make inquiries; Niying had only arrived in the Capital City recently. Rumor had it that she had taken a liking to Zhao Yi during a competition and had ultimately become his woman. Wang Yan had sneaked into Yinxue Pavilion to see Niying for himself, and she was indeed as beautiful as a flower. Yet, it was highly suspicious that a woman like her would set her sights on Zhao Yi, who was known as the "Three-Useless Prince." Wang Yan had grown suspicious of Niying at that time, but he had been too occupied with other matters to pursue it.
