Prince Yan was the pillar and core of the Prince's Mansion. If anything were to happen to him, the relatively stable order of the mansion would collapse.
Shen Wei quickly composed herself.
She instructed Cai Lian, "Go with Cai Ping to gather more information. I need to know the details of His Highness's condition."
Cai Lian hurried off to investigate.
Returning to the Liuli Pavilion, Shen Wei first drank a cup of tea to steady herself while formulating a plan in her mind.
