Chapter 25
Ning Rushen lay in the courtyard, waiting for his meal. He estimated in his heart that Shiyi should have already reported to the imperial court by now. There was a wall grass planted in the courtyard, which seemed to have some effect. He was leisurely swaying on the reclining chair when suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard gate. Yan Min led a young eunuch in:PITwpfsGddoqZWieKXsbgHhvcqwcyI
