Hua Qingcheng frowned slightly at Xiahou Jing's sarcasm, but quickly regained her composure, as if unaffected. "Prince Pingxi, don't worry about this trivial matter! Prince You, detain Xiahou Jing and Xiahou Yu and keep them under strict watch!"
"As you wish, Your Highness." Nalan Qiudi responded with a gloating look on her face.
"Nalan Qiudi, you little bitch!" Xiahou Jing glared at Nalan Qiudi with eyes wide open, scolding her fiercely, "Back then, I stood up against all odds in the court and strongly advocated for you to be crowned the Crown Princess! Now you treat me like this, you are simply ungrateful!"
"Hmph, I never begged you to do this!" Nalan Qiudi curled her lips slightly. If it weren't for the instigation of the Prince of Pingxi, who was eager for chaos in the world, her father, Situ Mingting, might not have been obsessed with power struggles all day long, and ultimately lost his life in vain.
Soon, Xiahou Jing and Xiahou Yu were imprisoned in the dungeon of Prince You's Mansion by Nalan Qiudi, and kept company with the princess Gongyang Jieying of Lengyue Kingdom.
"Fourth Imperial Sister, should we send someone to take you to see Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband now?"
After witnessing Hua Qingcheng's heroic battle against the wolves, Nalan Qiudi couldn't help but admire her—her pistol. As a result, she also developed a certain sisterly affection for her half-sister.

Then she solemnly instructed the butler waiting at the door, "Old Mo, why don't you quickly invite Her Highness the Princess to Songzhu Courtyard and arrange for her to have a meal and bathe and change clothes?"
"I obey your command." Butler Mo of Prince You's Mansion was stunned at first, then he understood and responded.
After all, it is reasonable to arrange the princess and the princess's husband to live in the same courtyard.
"Third sister, thank you very much." Hua Qingcheng smiled at the enthusiastic Nalan Qiudi and accepted her arrangement.
Soon, Hua Qingcheng was brought to Songzhuyuan by Butler Mo.
"Your Highness, I will arrange for someone to prepare meals and bathing water for you. In my opinion, in order to avoid catching a cold, you'd better change your wet clothes first." Butler Mo suggested very considerately.
Hua Qingcheng, who had originally planned to return to the space to take a comfortable bath, accepted her kindness seeing that the other party was so thoughtful.
Half an hour later, after having a midnight snack and taking a bath, Hua Qingcheng walked towards the main house of Songzhuyuan.
In the room, Mu Lige, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside, and he couldn't help but open his eyes suddenly.
