When Xu Yin stepped out, Lian Rong was already waiting under the corridor.
Princess Rong and Yongping were no longer there, so presumably both mother and daughter had been called away as soon as Prince Rong came out.
Xu Yin asked, "What's the matter?"
Lian Rong leaned in closer: "The Princely Heir's wife is secretly having people inquire about the female incense worshippers staying on the mountain tonight."
Xu Yin abruptly stopped in his tracks: "Female incense worshippers?"
Lian Rong nodded: "She specifically instructed that they should be young female worshippers."
Xu Yin furrowed his brow for a moment, a sharp glint passing through his eyes: "That troublemaker! Have arrangements been made?"
"Yes, arrangements have been made," Lian Rong nodded, "People were informed long ago to speak to the monk in charge of the list and to have them put the list away."
