CHAPTER 511 2 : CAST INSIDE THE PALACE (2/2)

”A-Jing, you knew that I wanted to come to the Compassionate Peace Palace.”

”Mmm, even if one has lost their memories, their own belongings may provoke a reaction. This is even more true if she’s feigning to be foolish.”

This had been exactly what Su Xi-er had in mind. We'll go to the Compassionate Peace Palace to find ornaments Pei Yaran is familiar with; it would be best if they are also items she cherishes a lot.

The only people who regularly visited the Compassionate Peace Palace were the palace maids who swept the floor. Once they were done with their job, there would be nobody left; the once bustling Compassionate Peace Palace had become abandoned.

When the two entered, the palace maids who were sweeping bowed and paid their respects.

Pei Qianhao waved his hand and coldly instructed, ”Leave.”

Once they had left,, Su Xi-er proceeded through the main hall, long side corridors, and finally arrived at the inner chambers. She directly went to the dressing table and began rummaging through the items there.

However, she quickly moved on to the wardrobe after finding nothing but ordinary rouge and ornaments.

Pei Qianhao quietly watched as she scoured the room; a good bit of time passed before she finally retrieved a locked black box from the bottom of the wardrobe.

Thinking quickly, Su Xi-er set the black box down on the dressing table before finding a fine silver hairpin, using it to pick the lock. It wasn’t long before a faint clatter signaled her success.

Pei Qianhao chuckled.”Xi-er, you're really experienced with lock picking.”

”Of course, I can do anything.” Su Xi-er gleefully replied.

Opening the wooden box, she only found a white silk handkerchief.

There was a lotus flower embroidered at the bottom, with a black ‘Hao’ character sitting next to it. It was evident that Pei Yaran had embroidered this for Pei Qianhao.
