"Your Majesty, watch your step!"

"Master, Master, where are you?"

"Azi! Azi!"

Calls for Ah Zi echoed from all corners of the forest, creating a lively atmosphere.

Azi, supported by Qinghe, searched for the exit. The plum blossoms they held had already been transferred to the palace servants behind them. Qinghe, seeing Azi's exhausted state, felt a pang of guilt.

"Master, let me carry you on my back. It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought you to this plum garden, you wouldn't have suffered like this."

Ah Zi was indeed exhausted. The roads were difficult to travel in the snow, let alone the rugged plum grove. Moreover, she was wearing many clothes, and now she was too tired to walk. Her shoes and socks were soaked, her feet were ice cold, and the hot water bottle in her arms was also cold.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's stop and rest for a while. Don't turn around. Just keep walking in this direction, and we'll eventually get out."

Qinghe nodded: "As you wish, Master."

To be honest, Azi and her companions were indeed a bit flustered and lost their way. They wandered around for quite a while and ended up in the plum grove on the northeast side of the plum garden, which was the most remote part of the garden.

The place we are in now is quite far from the Imperial Garden and the palace where the palace servants of Plum Garden live. Plum Garden is also much larger than imagined, so it is not surprising that we get lost.

Azi looked around and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Honestly, who built this forest so big?"

The palace maids who followed behind were also very tired, but they were in slightly better condition than Azi. One of the maids suddenly spoke up: "My lady, I heard that this Plum Garden was built with special permission from the Emperor for Prince Yuan."

Qinghe glanced at the palace maid without making a sound, and she quickly fell silent and withdrew.

Upon hearing this, Azi remembered that the man she had just met was none other than Prince Yuan. She really didn't know why they had built such a large forest. It was beautiful, but it was too difficult to walk through.
