Just as Hua Manman and Mu Qing walked out of the study, they saw a Chief Eunuch walking toward them.
'Only Hua Manman and Mu Qing lived here. Where did this outsider come from?'
Hua Manman stopped and frowned.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
The moment the Chief Eunuch saw Hua Manman, he immediately bowed.
"This servant has come to deliver flowers to the Princess, by order of Prince Wu Zhang.
A moment ago, this servant called out several times in the front courtyard but received no response.
Worried that something might have happened to the Princess, this servant took the liberty of coming inside to have a look.
This servant is relieved to see that you are safe."
After speaking, he bowed again, an apology to Princess Consort Zhao.
Hua Manman and Mu Qing had been in the secret chamber, which was so well-sealed they couldn't hear anything from the outside.
