"Father, I just said that there is still this place that I haven't searched, but I didn't say that Changle must be here."
Kangdi looked at him deeply.
"Changle is lively by nature. As an only child, my aunt has always doted on her. Her temper can easily offend people! She was going to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers for the Empress Dowager, but her whereabouts are unknown. Father, if Changle is really here, there must be a reason!"

"Seventh Brother, what do you mean?"
