Xiao Ai's sleeping quarters in the inner city are called the Holy Martial Hall, while in Su City they are called the Burning Heart Hall.

A thin mist veiled the moon, and the sound of combat boots clicking crisply on the marble bricks echoed as Xiao Ai, followed by thirteen Valkyries, stormed into the inner city.

"Who goes there!"

The guards in black armor didn't recognize people, only Su Cheng's token. Trespassing into the inner city in the middle of the night was a capital offense!

Xiao Ai didn't speak, but He Guang spoke first.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is Lady Gu Ai. Lady Gu Ai has a badge. Do you dare to accept it?"

The young guard had never seen the so-called Lord Gu Ai before; he was just a gatekeeper.

Besides, who would walk through the door if they were someone of importance?

"Lord Gu Ai, I had no idea you were here..."

In reality, Xiao Ai never stopped moving forward, and she never held grudges...

The little guard could only shout out the menacing question, "Who are you?" and could only watch helplessly as the girl, who looked like a strawberry cake, and her entourage of Valkyries brushed past him without a moment's hesitation.

I would never get angry. No one would get angry over something like this. Lord Gu Ai has the right to be arrogant and would never get angry at a mere guard.

"My lord, with just one word from you, the whole world will honor you as the supreme ruler tomorrow."

"If Xiao Ai likes it, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. We're here to make money!"

Xiao Ai had to beg and plead with the Lord for a long time before she could "borrow" the money from the stingy Lord.

She had to coax and deceive, practically begging on the ground, to finally get the master to talk and reveal the location of the secret stash.

"Make money? Is there any money left in the inner city? Isn't all the money in the inner city in Lord Gu'ai's hands?"

"What are you saying? It sounds like Xiao Ai has embezzled a lot of money! Xiao Ai uses the Lord's money to do things for the Lord, what's wrong with that? It's Xiao Ai's duty as a personal attendant! Don't put it so harshly!"

"Yes, but that guy actually hid some money in his stash! Lord Xunye once said that a man who hides money in his stash is definitely not a good man!"

"Xiao Ai agrees, Master was very naughty~ But thankfully, Master confessed in time and was given leniency, so Xiao Ai has decided to forgive Master~"

As they walked towards the Zhuoxin Palace, Xiao Ai entered the inner city and planned to visit the Shengwu Palace. She hadn't been back for a while and wanted to check on Su Lin and the others.

Su Lin was in the Zhuoxin Palace at that moment. Upon hearing that Xiao Ai had arrived, he quickly changed his clothes.

A girl about the same height as Xiao Ai heard the maid's report and immediately sprang up from the bed!

"Quickly prepare an outfit for me to receive, quick, quick, quick!"

In an instant, the entire Zhuoxin Palace seemed to start running like a machine, with countless maids bustling about!

"Oh dear! You demon, hurry up! Xiao Ai is coming, where's my big sash? Bring it to me right now!"

The young princess had been waiting for Xiao Ai for a long time. She had only heard about her brother from her personal maid, Chi Mei. She had been eagerly anticipating his arrival, and finally, Lord Gu Ai was here!

Before Xiao Ai could even enter, the so-called acting Venerable One had already rushed out of the bedchamber and waited anxiously for Lady Gu Ai with his hands tucked in his sleeves.

"You demons, you demons, where is Lord Gu Ai?"

"The maid said that Lord Gu Ai has arrived at the Council Hall and is discussing matters with Lord Mengdie."

When is she coming? Can I go see her?

“My lord, let’s wait a little longer. The situation is sensitive right now, and you should also be mindful of your attitude. Things are different now than before. You are now both a princess and a lord.”

Neither the master nor the servant were tall, but for different reasons.

Princess Su Lin, like Xiao Ai, was born at a young age and her body remained that of a child.

However, Su Lin prefers being a princess to being an adult, so she can freely act spoiled with her brother.

Although it's hard not to suspect that Su Cheng is a lolicon, in reality, Su Cheng wouldn't even dare to look at these lolis, let alone touch them; he usually avoids them!

This also includes Su Lin and Xiao Ai. Su Cheng can't afford to offend Xiao Ai either; if things go wrong, she might throw a tantrum and refuse to pour him tea!

After waiting for a while, Xiao Ai walked over gracefully. Without needing to light a lamp, her row of golden eyes stood out conspicuously in the night.

An all-villain lineup, followed closely by thirteen Valkyries.

"Gu Ai greets Your Highness the Princess."

Without going into detail, since she was simply a princess, the Valkyries merely bowed slightly in greeting.

"Sister Xiao Ai, come in and sit down! Su Lin has missed you so much!"

Xiao Ai just smiled. Su Lin didn't actually miss her.

She clearly misses her brother!

Although Su Lin is now the Venerable One, Xiao Ai only has one King, and that is Su Cheng. Although Xiao Ai supports Su Lin's ascension to the throne, as long as Su Cheng lives, she will always be Princess.

"Little Ai, Little Ai, have you seen your brother, the King?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. His Majesty is well."

"Really? Can I go visit Brother Wang? I really miss Brother Wang!"

Xiao Ai thought about it for a moment, and to be honest, Su Lin had always played the role of a useless nobody. Frankly speaking, it didn't matter whether she was there or not in this inner city...

Mengdie resides in the Chaoxia Hall, while Xiao'ai resides in the Fuyue Hall. The two kings govern, with Mengdie in charge of domestic affairs and Xiao'ai in charge of military and political affairs. Together, they suppress the ambitious ministers in the Yizheng Hall.

Even without Sucheng, the princes could only tuck their tails between their legs and make some plans. They didn't have enough troops or money to gain entry into the inner sanctum.
