My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 636: Jealousy, Memories

Feng Xiyan paused for a second, then added, "I might not be able to talk to you for a while. However, you can send me a message, and I will try my best to reply as soon as I can."

Bai Hanyun nodded when she heard this. "Don’t worry about me. Just focus on what you need to do."

Pausing for a second, she added with a hint of worry in her voice, "Feng Xiyan, please be careful. I have a bad feeling about the Jin Empire."

"Alright. I will be careful."

Noticing that he looked paler than before, Bai Hanyun asked, "Do you still have the Yuan Pill that I gave you before?"

Feng Xiyan nodded.

"Good. You should take one. It will help you recover faster," Bai Hanyun instructed.

As usual, Feng Xiyan simply listened and followed her words. "Mhm, I will do as you say."

At that moment, Feng Xiyan heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Before long, an elite soldier’s voice came from outside.

"Seventh Princess, you can’t go inside. Without Great General Wu’s permission, nobody is allowed here. You should go back."

A second later, Jin Yan’s arrogant voice rang out. "Presumptuous! How dare you block this princess’s way! Step aside!"

On the other end of the phone, Bai Hanyun heard everything. Raising her brows slightly, she said with a hint of unhappiness, "Heh, looks like your rotten peach blossom is here."

Afraid she might misunderstand, Feng Xiyan hurriedly explained, "Nonsense. That woman is just a chess piece in our plan."

Bai Hanyun rolled her eyes, then lay down on her bed. "I’m tired. Let’s talk again later."

Without waiting for his response, she ended the video call. Turning to her side, she pouted and closed her eyes unhappily.

Meanwhile, Feng Xiyan stared at his phone in silence.

After a brief moment, he muttered with a hint of uncertainty and joy, "...Is she jealous?"

While Feng Xiyan was secretly happy about Bai Hanyun’s jealousy, outside the tent, Jin Yan was still throwing a tantrum. However, it didn’t last long, as the elite soldiers threw her out without mercy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Just you wait! This princess will have my imperial brother execute all of you!" Leaving in anger, Jin Yan stormed off to find Jin Cen.

Meanwhile, far away at the Hong Sha Pavilion headquarters, Sha Ying was in a hurry to find Yu Zhao.

After walking through the long corridor and climbing the stairs, he arrived at the top floor.

Seeing him approaching, the two masked men clasped their fists and greeted him. "Commander."

Sha Ying nodded in response, then pushed open the door. Walking into the main hall, he saw Yu Zhao brewing tea on the balcony and walked toward him.

Noticing his urgent footsteps, Yu Zhao calmly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. Afterward, he filled another cup and gracefully took a sip.

While he savored the tea’s flavor, Sha Ying stood a few steps away from him.

Sha Ying placed a letter on the low table, clasped his fist, and reported, "Master, Yuan Sha has sent the investigation result."

Hearing this, Yu Zhao put down his half-drunk tea on the low table, then took the letter and opened it. As he read, his eyes flickered.

When he finished, Yu Zhao folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. Handing it to Sha Ying, he ordered, "Store this investigation report in the archive room."

Seeing that he didn’t react much, Sha Ying carefully asked, "Master, you don’t seem to be surprised by the investigation result. Have you known everything beforehand?"

Yu Zhao drank the remaining tea in his cup, then calmly gestured for Sha Ying to take a seat.

Although confused, Sha Ying followed his master’s order and sat down before Yu Zhao.

Seeing that Sha Ying was just staring at him, Yu Zhao calmly said, "The tea will grow cold and won’t taste good. You should drink it first."

As someone who grew up in the shadows, something as elegant as tasting tea was neither Sha Ying’s hobby nor his forte.

However, it was a great honor and reward for him to drink tea personally brewed by his master. Therefore, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.

Smacking his lips, Sha Ying glanced at the small teacup and scratched his head awkwardly.

Now that he had finished the tea, he placed the empty teacup down and looked at Yu Zhao, waiting for him to speak.

Receiving Sha Ying’s eager gaze mixed with curiosity, Yu Zhao calmly refilled Sha Ying’s cup before asking, "What do you think about the tea?"

Sha Ying scratched his cheek and replied awkwardly, "Master, this subordinate is a crude man. Something as elegant as tasting tea is beyond this subordinate’s understanding."

After answering, Sha Ying looked at Yu Zhao’s calm expression. Unable to find any clues, he had no choice but to wait patiently in silence.

He waited for a while, but Yu Zhao didn’t say anything.

Unable to hold back his curiosity any longer, Sha Ying braved himself and asked, "Master, why aren’t you saying anything? Is there something wrong with the investigation result?"

Being asked for the second time, Yu Zhao finally looked at him and said, "Years ago, when the Feng Clan’s patriarch married his wife, the prestigious lady from the Lin Clan, it caused quite a sensation in the Yu Empire."

Not understanding why Yu Zhao was talking about Feng Xiyan’s parents’ marriage, Sha Ying kept his mouth shut and listened carefully.

Recalling the past, Yu Zhao continued, "I remember when the bride came from Lin Nan Province, her dowry procession spanned for several li. At that time, the phrase ’one hundred li red dowry’ truly came to life."

Seeing that Yu Zhao was staring into the distance with a lonely look in his eyes, Sha Ying hesitated before asking, "Master, what is the connection between this marriage and the investigation report?"

Interrupted by him, Yu Zhao came out of his memories.
