He couldn't wait to stick that new talisman on him.
Yong Huai, seeing his agreement, reminded him, "This matter is a secret between us. Naturally, your efforts will not go unnoticed, but before we proceed, to guard against any ill-intentioned individuals plotting against us, we should keep this under wraps and not inform anyone else."
Guo Steward nodded eagerly. Under Yong Huai's scrutinizing gaze, he added, "Rest assured, I won't even tell His Highness."
With that, Yong Huai handed a talisman to Guo Steward. As soon as the talisman was opened, golden light shimmered from the vermilion characters, giving it an impressive appearance. Guo Steward's eyes filled with reverence and hope.
Was there a hint of medicinal fragrance coming from the talisman?
Yong Huai looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I had you test the medicine, so I won’t hide it from you. This was made following the method for capturing demons. Some demons can be quite troublesome, so I added some herbs to the talisman to enhance its effectiveness. It was from this idea that I specially crafted this medicinal talisman."
After Guo Steward examined it closely, Yong Huai folded the talisman carefully and tucked it into Guo Steward's waist pouch. Carrying it with him would provide some preventive benefits; after wearing it, Guo Steward could serve Lord Midnight with a bit more peace of mind.
Guo Steward kept expressing his gratitude, and naturally, Yong Huai felt pleased as well. The matter concerning Miss Sang had been resolved so smoothly; he couldn't help but wonder about the efficacy of the medicine and decided to wait and see.
As soon as Yong Huai arrived at the prince's study, Ling Jiudao emerged looking troubled. However, upon closer inspection, there was a distinct upward curve at the corners of his mouth—a triumphant smile!
Not having time to hide it when he saw Yong Huai, he quickly changed his expression to something more peculiar. Furrowing his brows, he asked, "What brings you here?"
"I waited at your residence for half a day before coming over. Regarding His Majesty's matter concerning Miss Sang, Ling Yuan Shou should act quickly."
Ling Jiudao suddenly raised his tone and said, "Without the Medicine Catalyst, there's nothing you can rush me for. I think it's best if we don't bother Lord Yong for now."
Seeing the prince enter the study afterward, Yong Huai understood that Ling Jiudao's tone was directed at him.
He respectfully bowed to the prince, who praised both Yong Huai and Cheerful in front of Ling Jiudao.
It seemed like he was just a tool for the prince—something to irritate Ling Jiudao.
Even at such a moment, he was still playing mind games; wasn't that exhausting?
"Your Highness, may I see Consort Two?" Yong Huai inquired.
In truth, he was looking for an excuse to leave; having completed his task, there was no reason to linger in such an atmosphere.
The prince said, "Let's go together."
Yong Huai had no choice but to follow.
Unlike the previous occasions, there were actually guards stationed outside the courtyard this time. Judging by their attire, they were of a much higher rank than those outside the estate, exuding an intimidating aura.
The prince continued to speak, "Father is worried about us. The estate has been quite chaotic these days, so he sent some capable people to help maintain order."
While this sounded like boasting, Yong Huai couldn't shake the feeling that these individuals seemed more like executioners.
Seeing that the people in Consort Two's courtyard were not allowed to come out only reinforced Yong Huai's suspicions.
