The second inn of Qifeng Town, at the Northern Inn, a young woman was pacing back and forth inside her room.
She stared anxiously at the flames rising from the direction of the Prince's Mansion. Li Yao had woken up early; upon waking she keenly noticed that her elder brother in the next room had disappeared. She didn't need to think much to know that this was most likely his doing.
Li Yao wanted to leave the inn and go to the Wang Family to find out what was going on, but she feared she would only drag her brother down. Now, with her brother still not back, she was burning with anxiety.
At the same time, Li Lu in the Southern Inn was still sleeping soundly. She had again repeated a certain strange dream: in the dream, the fragrance of wine overflowed everywhere, but every time she woke from it, Li Lu could never remember clearly, as if she had forgotten it.
