Yang Yunchun cast a rapid glance around the surroundings, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice. "This is not a convenient place to talk. Follow me, the three of you."
With that, he led the three men to a secluded and quiet corner. Making sure there was no one around, Yang Yunchun slowly began to speak. "Today, after leaving the Imperial City Bureau, I learned from Princess Zhaoling that you had accompanied my master to Imperial Noble Consort Shu's Chengxiang Palace. It is against the rules for men from outside to enter the inner palace. Although His Majesty was angry, he did not severely reprimand you out of consideration for the Princess. However, two hours passed and you still had not returned, so His Majesty grew suspicious and sent me to Chengxiang Palace to investigate the situation."
"The moment I stepped into Chengxiang Palace, I discovered that everyone had been overcome by a hypnotic incense, and even my master was no exception."
