After thinking it over, Xu Yuehuai headed towards Zhao Yinfang, intending to ask him if he had any valuable intelligence.

Unexpectedly, before I had taken more than a few steps, I heard a commotion behind me.

She frowned and turned around, only to see a group of soldiers from the Dark Moon Kingdom suddenly appear, looking around with a portrait in their hands.

And it seems the same thing is happening on other streets as well, not just hers.

What happened?

The thought had barely formed in Xu Yuehuai's mind when a soldier approached her with a portrait and asked, "Miss, have you seen this person in the painting?"

She looked closely and immediately recognized her as the little princess of the Mingyue Kingdom.

"What happened to the little princess?" Xu Yuehuai blurted out.

"Who are you?" The soldier looked bewildered, searching his memory but unable to recall who Xu Yuehuai was. He became more vigilant, his hand even resting on the sword at his waist. After all, if someone was not a palace person he knew, yet looked unfamiliar but recognized the little princess, they might be a potential threat to her.

"Miss Xu, you've come to the Kingdom of Dark Moon again?" The soldier leader in the distance recognized Xu Yuehuai and hurriedly ran over to stop the soldier's hand.

Xu Yuehuai nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the little princess?"

"To be honest, she slipped out of the palace. The soldiers inside have all come out to search for her, but they've found nothing," the soldier leader said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Xu Yuehua frowned. The little princess wasn't usually such a willful person.

"I don't know, but there are rumors that she seemed to have appeared in this area. Miss Xu, did you see her?" The soldier leader shook his head and replied.

"No..." Xu Yuehuai was about to say no, but the figure from before suddenly appeared, so she quickly changed her words, "No, I saw it, it seemed to be running in that direction, I was wondering who it was."

"Everyone, follow me. Miss Xu will thank you again later." The soldier leader hurriedly disappeared.

Xu Yuehuai watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the little princess of the Mingyue Kingdom was no pushover either.

Although she wanted to go and see, she thought that she was now isolated and helpless in the Dark Moon Kingdom, so she couldn't take the risk.

With that thought in mind, she continued in Zhao Yinfang's direction.

Unexpectedly, she had only just turned the corner when she saw a familiar figure—it was none other than the little princess.

Before Xu Yuehuai could speak, she heard the little princess complaining, "Sister Xu! I've been looking forward to your return every day. How could you turn around and tell others where I am!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks.

"Huh?" Xu Yuehuai was taken aback by her sudden outburst of anger, but still managed to counterattack, "Then why did you flee? Don't you know the king would be worried?"

"I...I...it's none of your business!" The little princess stammered, unable to get a coherent answer, and simply pouted.

Xu Yuehuai had encountered children this age before and knew that the more she pressed them for answers, the more resistant they would become, so it was better not to ask at all.

However, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered something else.

“Since you’re not planning to go back anytime soon, why don’t you come with me to the inn first? If you keep wandering around outside, you’ll probably get caught in no time,” she coaxed gently.

The little princess stared at her toes for a long time.

She really has nowhere to go now, and she can't keep wandering the streets.

She looked up and immediately agreed to Xu Yuehuai's request.

Xu Yuehuai wasn't idle either. As they walked, she tentatively asked, "I heard that there was a Princess Chuchu in the Mingyue Kingdom, but I didn't see her last time I went there. I'm afraid it's all just a rumor."

“No, that’s not it.” The little princess was completely unsuspecting. “That was my older sister, but she has passed away, so you can’t see her.”

"It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of beauty," Xu Yuehuai said, leading the person to her room.

She paused, then continued, "Did she leave any children behind?"

The little princess raised an eyebrow, as if she had sensed the probing meaning behind Xu Yuehuai's question. She quickly covered her stomach and cried, "Sister Xu, can you please stop asking? I've been running around outside all day, and I'm really hungry."

Her stomach even made two noises in response.

Xu Yuehuai also wanted to get what she wanted first, but seeing her like this, she knew it wouldn't work. So she could only borrow the inn's kitchen and make some cold noodles.

The little princess was attracted by the aroma and immediately began to eat heartily.

"This is the taste! No one else can make it taste like Sister Xu's." She praised as she ate.

Xu Yuehuai wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and continued to ask, "Then can you tell me now whether she has a child or not?"

The little princess stopped what she was doing, a hint of shame on her face.

"Sister Xu, actually I don't know if my elder sister has children. My mother forbids me from asking about those things, and no one in the palace is willing to tell me. Sister Xu, I didn't mean to lie to you just now, please don't be angry..." she said, picking at her fingers. Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke the last few sentences, as if she was worried that Xu Yuehuai would be angry because she had lied.

But how could Xu Yuehuai bear to blame her? She simply patted her head and said, "Sister Xu doesn't blame you."

After saying that, he entrusted her to Tie Xiong.

"Whose baby is this? How come she's so beautiful?" Tie Xiong had never seen the little princess before, so he pinched her little face and laughed.

She seemed to have used too much force, pinching her painfully. She stomped hard on Tie Xiong's foot, and Tie Xiong reached out to hit her.

"Tie Xiong, that's the little princess of the Mingyue Kingdom. You should be careful," Xu Yuehuai's calm voice came.

Tie Xiong abruptly stopped, and finally patted her head.

"Big guy, why did you stop? Weren't you so smug just now?" The little princess, however, seemed to thrive on chaos and continued to provoke Tie Xiong.

"Manager Xu, could you perhaps have someone else watch over her?" Tie Xiong asked, forcing himself to speak.

"I can't change it. I've been asking you for help until I get back," Xu Yuehuai replied, waving her hand. Then she started walking to find Zhao Yinfang again.

Tie Xiong had no choice but to accept his fate.

Xu Yuehuai hurried along, but this time she encountered no trouble and arrived at the Zhao residence without incident.

Just as I was about to go in and inquire about some information, I heard a familiar voice.

A thought struck her, and she quickly hid, secretly observing.

Shaoqing, the side door opened, and Zhang Ting came out. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her before quickly disappearing.
