Su Xi-er was organising the books in the book depository, since they would collect dust if left alone for a long period of time. By the time she was done wiping down the books and shelves, two hours had already passed. The wind had picked up outside the storage room, causing the doors and windows to rattle when it blew …

Yet, before she could even start to sweep, an apprentice pharmacist entered the Imperial Library. “Who is Su Xi-er?” Chao Mu glanced at him. “Why are you looking for Su Xi-er?” “Imperial Physician Zhao instructed me to invite her to the Imperial Physician Institute.” Su Xi-er understood that it had to do with Old Maidservant Liu’s case and immediately nodded. …

Su Xi-er eased up, and her gaze became distant. “Eunuch Zhang, how long have you known Old Maidservant Liu?” Despite not understanding her reason for asking, Eunuch Zhang still replied, “I can’t really remember very well; perhaps more than 40 years.” “Old Maidservant Liu dedicated her entire life for her master, ensuring that her master could rest in peace.” Su …

An imperial guard flung Lian Qiao to the ground, causing her hairpin to clatter against the ground with a crisp ‘ding’ sound. She stood up in panic and bowed. “This servant pays her respects to Prince Hao.” However, the only reply that she heard was the deafening silence of the Imperial Prison. The ominous atmosphere was matched only by the …

It’s not the Third Imperial Prince, but Prince Hao?! After waiting for him for so long last night, he’s only showing up in the afternoon. “Prince Hao’s expression doesn’t look too good. You have to be careful.” Grand Tutor Liu was worried and cautioned her once more. Su Xi-er nodded before leaving for the Calligraphy Pavilion. “Don’t worry, Grand Tutor.” …

Another wave of warm kisses came again, her hands hooking around his neck as she raised her head to meet him. After planting a trail of kisses down her cheek to her neck, Pei Qianhao raised his head and caressed her hair with his right hand. “This Prince came here today to inform you that the date has been set. …

“How could I understand your thoughts? Fang Lingdang has visited your repose palace a few nights in a row, and even stayed over for the night before.” Liu Yinyin’s voice became increasingly softer as she turned away from him. When I initially entered the palace, he came to visit me every day because he was afraid that I wouldn’t be …

“Little fellow, this is the Prince Hao Residence. You should quickly leave, otherwise your buttocks are going to get slapped if you get discovered.” Situ Lin blinked a few times. This woman doesn’t know me, and even wants to chase me away. Not bad, looks like things are going to be fun. Situ Lin winked at Su Xi-er, signalling for …

Su Xi-er swiftly boarded, and before long, the carriage was on its way back to the imperial palace. In the horse carriage, Situ Lin was laughing gleefully. “Beauty, why did you suddenly want to see Old Maidservant Liu? This Emperor hasn’t seen her in a long time, but I’ll come along now that you have reminded me.” The current Situ …

Imperial Physician Zhao understood Su Xi-er’s plan, but he was also aware that there was no palace maid serving by Old Maidservant Liu’s side.
