The matter of Princess Cuiwei secretly sneaking to the Cold Palace and almost getting attacked by a deranged concubine eventually reached the ears of the Empress.
After being called over by the Empress and admonished for quite a while, Cuiwei finally managed to slip away successfully with the timely arrival of her elder brother.
"Lanlan, look at how especially beautiful the flowers are today!"
As soon as she left the Queen's palace, Princess Cuiwei happily dashed toward the Imperial Garden. If it were in the past, after being scolded by the Empress, Cuiwei would always feel aggrieved for a while. But today, not only was she not unhappy, but she also seemed even more jovial.
Lanlan followed closely behind Cuiwei with a worried frown. Despite her young age, she had been working in the palace for years and was more perceptive than Cuiwei, who had been protected closely by the Empress from a young age.
