Xiao Zhongxuan stroked his wine glass. "Fortunately, the Regent Prince may have just returned to the capital, and the security in his residence is not so tight. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter and leave the residence so easily."
Hongrui and Lühe were helping her tidy up the room when Shen Zhiyi, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, got up and walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with moonlight, its gentle glow spreading far and wide.
In the courtyard, a pear tree swayed in the night breeze. When the branches swayed, white petals fluttered down like snowflakes.
