"A letter from the Capital City?"
After he left the Capital City, he had remained uneasy, even though he'd arranged for men to be near Ming Lingyi. He had demanded a daily message from the Capital City, reporting on her well-being.
It wasn't that Li Yun wanted to deliberately spy on Ming Lingyi's activities in the Capital City. If all was well, the secret reports from Shangjing City would contain only phrases like "Safe and well" or "Her Ladyship's routine is unchanged." As for the specifics of her day—what she did, whom she met—Li Yun hadn't ordered his men to watch so closely, nor did he demand they report every last detail.
For Liu Ye to be staring at the letter for this long, it was impossible that nothing was wrong.
Liu Ye was still trying to figure out what to say to his master when he saw Li Yun already holding out his hand.
His master meant to read it for himself.
Liu Ye hesitantly passed over the secret message.
