"Is the Prince still not here today?" Standing at the study's door, Ye Qiu wrapped in a thick cloak, her brows slightly furrowed, she asked weakly.
Qi Feng had a stony expression on his face as he replied coldly, "Responding to the Princess Consort, the Prince has stepped out. Please return first, your highness. This subordinate will report to you when the Prince returns."
"I see!" Ye Qiu looked visibly disappointed, then handed over the food box she was carrying behind her to him, "I personally made this for the Prince, there's a charcoal fire underneath, so it won't get cold. I'll trouble Guard Qi with this."
"The Princess Consort is too polite." Qi Feng took it and then gestured for her to leave.
Ye Qiu did not linger, but took a deep look at the study behind Qi Feng and then left somewhat disheartened, taking Furong with her.
After they left, the study door, which Qi Feng had claimed to be empty, was opened - it was Duan Huaijin, the man who had supposedly left already.
