Su Lixia lowered her head, and then the maid whispered something in her ear.
"Now you know, but you have to keep it a secret!" With that, the little maid skipped away.
Su Lixia watched her retreating figure and muttered, "What does a little brat know? She's just talking nonsense."
Xiao Lian stepped forward and asked curiously, "Princess, what did she say?"
Su Lixia didn't bother to hide anything and said directly, "It's nothing. She thinks that since her young master brought me to his mansion as a guest, it means he likes me."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian burst out laughing.
Su Lixia glanced at her sideways and said, "You also think what she said is nonsense, right?"
Xiaolian shook her head; this was not something she could judge.
After walking for a while, she happened to run into the butler walking out again, but Su Lixia had face blindness and did not recognize him at first glance.
"Why is the princess out here? Is she looking for the young master?" the steward asked as he stepped forward.
Su Lixia paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not looking for him, I'm not looking for him. I'm bored staying inside, so I came out for a walk."
The steward nodded and then asked, "The princess is not yet familiar with everything in the manor. If she comes out alone, she might not be able to find her way back. Why don't we arrange for a servant to show her around?"
Su Lixia waved her hand and said, "No need for that. The houses here are all unique. I can go back by myself after I take a look around."
Seeing that she was very insistent, the steward stopped trying to stop her and said, "However, the young master is not at home right now. He will be back later."
"Okay, no rush." After saying that, Su Lixia nodded slightly to him and walked past him.
"Speaking of which, he looks so familiar. Did he come to say something?" Su Lixia scratched her temple, puzzled, wondering why she couldn't remember.
After walking for a while, they got hotter and thirstier. Su Lixia fanned herself with her hand and said, "Not many people know where we live. Why don't we just find someone to take us to the main gate and go back to the Prince's Mansion?"
"Okay," Xiaolian agreed, then randomly grabbed someone and led them to the main gate.
The carriage was brought over, and the steward, startled, rushed over, panting heavily, and asked, "Is the princess going back?"
Su Lixia nodded and said, "It's time to go back, let's go, Xiaolian."
"yes."
So the two of them got into the carriage one after the other.
The butler frowned and sighed. What could he do? This was a princess; how could he stop her?
On the way, Su Lixia rested her chin on her hand, her eyes dim, thinking to herself, "Even if I don't do any missions, it's not good to be idle all day. If I stay idle any longer, I'll become useless. What can a chef do?"
"Chef!" Su Lixia suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "As a chef, how can you neglect your skills!"
Su Lixia slapped her thigh, ready to start a big battle in the kitchen, but the noise startled Xiao Lian.
Meanwhile, inside the teahouse…
"Don't let his appearance fool you, he's got a very deep mind. Even though most people in the court are on your side, there are a few who are with him. Besides, the Empress Dowager has always been in good health, so how could she have suddenly passed away? If we slowly follow this line of inquiry and find evidence, it might be the best opportunity to drag him down."
"We're still investigating behind the scenes. Let's take it slow and not rush things."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziwen raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, saying, "Indeed, there's no rush. It's been almost a year, and we only have a few clues."
