Little Zhui tidied up the room for a long time. Aside from her clothes and accessories, there were no other suspicious aspects of what Zhu Tong had left behind.

”Have you searched it thoroughly?” Xue Ronghua picked up a piece of clothing with indifferent eyes.

”I've thoroughly searched them, but didn't discover anything,” Little Zhui said as she placed all the scattered old items into a big box, ”Zhu Tong will keep these things.”

Xue Ronghua rolled her eyes and looked around, Little Zhui had already moved to another place according to the requirements, this empty house, after taking Zhu Tong's clothes off, would become a small warehouse for the people.

”Then let the servants donate these old clothes to the beggars on the streets,” Xue Ronghua retreated out of the door, ”Tell the mother of the mansion to move some things that you don't need.”

Little Zhui nodded and asked curiously: ”Miss, have you found out where Zhu Tong went?”

Xue Ronghua's eyes dimmed, and said in a heavy voice, ”Prince Duan and I were investigating this matter, but we did not find any clues.”

Little Zhui was completely unaware of Zhu Tong's wrongdoings. She sighed regretfully, ”It's such a pity, no matter what, I served the Young Miss for a long time, and even helped us complete a few big matters. Just like that, we left without a sound.”

”I'm also very sad,” Xue Ronghua said as she held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and looked into the distance, ”There are still many things that I have to ask before Zhu Tong leaves.”

Little Zhui saw that there was a trace of worry on her face, so she smiled and comforted: ”Don't be too sad miss, you have to look forward for everything. Zhu Tong might just come back by herself one day.”

Xue Ronghua relaxed her brows, and comforted her with a smile, ”That's right, Zhu Tong might come back.”

As Little Zhui spoke, she laughed and accidentally stepped on the melted snow beneath her feet and slid down to the ground.

Seeing her comical appearance, Xue Ronghua could not help but burst out laughing. ”You have to be careful, don't follow Zhu Tong.”

Little Zhui's cheeks flushed red as she propped herself up using the wall to support her body. Feeling embarrassed, she rubbed her head, ”Miss, I was just trying to comfort you out of good intentions.

Xue Ronghua immediately restrained her smile and took out a handkerchief to wipe the snow off her body. She softly said: ”Does it hurt, go to the doctor to apply some medicine so that it won't affect her root.”

Little Zhui shook her head, ”It doesn't hurt, it's just that there's too much snow in the courtyard, and the mothers won't come to clean.

”It's important that old master fell, but I'm fine.” Xue Ronghua looked at the sky and saw a ray of sunlight shining on the ground, which was covered in snow.

Little Zhui laughed: ”Miss, why do you sound like you've been living a miserable life all this winter? Miss is the young miss of Prime Minister's Mansion, the would-be princess of Prince Duan, how could you be living a bad life?”

Xue Ronghua reached out to stroke her head, and said with a slight smile. ”Truly, because of the many good reputations I have to carry, you have to be even more careful in your conduct.”

Little Zhui thought for a while, then said: ”Then Miss should just listen to her reputation, at least she won't lead a miserable life like before.”

Xue put the handkerchief back into his sleeve thoughtfully. ”You have to work hard to get a good reputation, and you know how hard it is.

”Miss is going to have to be sentimental again,” Little Zhui smiled and said. ”With Prince Duan here, Miss will definitely not be affected.”

”You keep thinking about Prince Duan,” A smile appeared on Xue Ronghua's face as she continued, ”Little Zhui, if Prince Duan and I were to head to the Qi Nation, would you come with us?”

Little Zhui was startled, she did not expect the young miss to ask such a question, ”Why does the young miss want to go to Qi Nation, is it not good for our Great Qin Empire?”

It's just that I need to go to the Qi Nation to handle some important matters. Are you willing to come with me and the Prince Duan? ”

Little Zhui's eyes flashed with certainty. She nodded seriously, ”I'll go wherever Miss goes. I'm together with Miss.”

Xue Ronghua looked at her with satisfaction, then took her hand and said: ”I knew you would be willing to follow me.”

The streets of the palace were covered with melted snow. The head eunuch angrily cursed the palace maids who were sweeping the snow, loudly shouting, ”You little servants, why don't you hurry up. If you slip and fall to the ground, I don't think you can afford to lose ten heads.”

The people of the palace obediently complied, fearfully accelerating the movements of their hands.

Xianghe avoided the crowded streets, nimbly stepped across the puddles of water, and walked towards the bamboo forest. In the blink of an eye, all of the crabs powder was gone from the Princess Palace.

”Weren't you here to attend to Princess Wen Min's wedding? Why aren't you staying in the princess' palace? What are you doing here?”

From beneath the fake mountain behind the bamboo forest, the whispers of two female servants could be heard. Xianghe indifferently looked in that direction and prepared to continue walking towards the dining room.

”Princess Wen Min will not marry,” another servant girl said. ”The Emperor does not want her to go to the Qi Nation.”

Not getting married? Xianghe's footsteps gradually slowed down, if this Princess Wen Min did not marry into Qi Nation, then which other princess would do all these things?
