Almost without disturbing anyone, Shang Ruyi returned to the room.
Closing the door, a slight night breeze swept over the candlestick on the table, causing the flame to flicker. But the air still held his scent, and even the lingering feeling of intimacy within her body made her heart heavy.
But it seemed like everything was different now.
Shang Ruyi walked over and blew out the already flickering candle, plunging everything into complete darkness, yet her mind felt as clear as a mirror. She walked back to the inner chamber and sat on the bed.
Some things became even clearer in her mind.
Just now, it was Eunuch Yu who came.
He didn't typically serve the Eldest Princess. If the Eldest Princess were summoning Yu Wenye to the palace, it shouldn't have been him delivering the message. But he said that the Empress Dowager was by the Eldest Princess's side, so for him to pass the message wasn't surprising.
However—he mentioned that Eunuch Cao went to summon Lin Shian.
