Lu Zhiling stopped Yun Chi and, after Yun Chi had left, he thought for a moment and entered Hua Yan's courtyard.
Caiqing heard the noise and came out to greet him, thinking it was the Crown Prince again, but to her surprise, she saw Lu Zhiling and hastily saluted, "Princely Heir Lu."
Lu Zhiling nodded and asked, "Has my sister gone to bed?"
Caiqing nodded.
Lu Zhiling thought for a moment and said, "The Crown Prince won't be coming over tonight. If my sister wakes up in the middle of the night and asks about him, tell her that it's the rule that the bridal couple must not see each other on the night before their wedding."
Caiqing immediately acknowledged.
Lu Zhiling turned and left.
Hua Yan hadn't really fallen asleep and naturally heard the conversation outside. After Caiqing entered the room, Hua Yan called out to her, "Caiqing."
