Su Xi-er walked out of the book depository after putting the last five books on the top shelf. There were only a few rooms in the Imperial Library: the main hall, the book depositories, the Calligraphy Pavilion, and the Lecture Pavilion, as well as the kitchens and bathrooms, as well as some private rooms in the backyard. The Imperial Library …

The Patriarch went to great lengths to send the Eldest Young Miss into the Beauty Palace, but now that the Beauty Palace has been dissolved, the Eldest Young Miss was kicked out as well! The Tan Residence has lost face again, and the Patriarch has given the order to leave her alone, but the Eldest Young Miss still has the …

The palace maid laughed again after she finished talking, her tone full of mocking intent. Her behaviour was the norm for palace maids; trampling on those who were weaker while bowing down to those who were stronger. If they saw that you have fallen from your position, they would gloat over your misfortune and hurl verbal abuses at you, doing …

Although the words were roundabout, they did make some sense. Xie Yun took a step back. “Since you put it that way, it would be this Prince’s fault if I continue to look into your mistakes.” Su Xi-er bowed. “Commandery Prince Xie, please forgive this servant if what I said offended you.” Before he could respond, she continued. “This servant …

Su Xi-er opened the door to the room, finding nobody in sight as she began to carry the bundle of coarse cloth back to the Palace Side Quarters.

The guard who reported the news to the Empress Dowager was panicking. When Pei Yaran saw the expression on his face, it only added to the anger in her heart. “Why are you panicking? It’s not the first time that Prince Hao has visited the Compassionate Peace Palace.” The guard’s expression stowed away his flustered expression and bowed. “This servant …

The palace maids immediately understood, quickly withdrawing while closing the doors behind them. Pei Yaran’s expression was solemn as she approached the upper seat and sat down before giving a smile. “Prince Hao, you haven’t paid your respects to this Empress Dowager yet, even after entering the Compassionate Peace Palace. You kept reminding this Empress Dowager that I need to …

“Don’t talk right now, let me check your wound.” Su Xi-er knelt in front of him and rolled his sleeve up. Fortunately, the blood from this sword wound is a normal bright red. As long as he hasn’t been poisoned, it will be a simple matter to clean and bandage the wound with some medicine. Su Xi-er walked towards the …
