When the Fourth Master returned to The Old Summer Palace, outside Jiuzhou Qingyan, Hongfen and Hongyun were still kneeling.
Their personal eunuchs had long been taken away.
After interrogation, none of them would survive.
One indulged the master to court disaster, the other instigated the master to do so; neither would end well.
The Fourth Master approached with Su Peisheng, and Hongfen and Hongyun quickly greeted him.
"How have you reflected?" The Fourth Master stopped and asked indifferently.
Hongfen dared not speak rashly, but Hongyun also remained silent this time. This made the situation awkward.
The atmosphere stagnated for a moment; then Hongfen hurriedly responded, "In response to Imperial Father, your son... your son shouldn't have met with... with Noble Consort Yu."
He still didn't know that now Noble Consort Yu was just a Noble Lady.
"Is your mistake merely meeting with her?" The Fourth Master's face was composed, revealing no expression.
