"The crown prince consort is not inside the palace at present. She has gone to a small fortification faraway and will not be returning temporarily," Fan Qiuhe explained impassively.
"May this humble one ask where the seniors hail from." Fan Qiuhe cupped his hands towards the three people in salute. "If it is needed, this humble one is willing to guide you to the small fortification and search for the crown prince consort."
Fan Qiuming's eyes widened at once when he heard this, and he gazed at Fan Qiuhe in disbelief.
Of the two people who had not spoken, the young man announced coldly, "We come from Anyi Prefecture. This is the fourth miss Guan Yiying of our Anyi Prefecture, and he is our Pundit Zhao."
From beginning to end, the elder addressed respectfully as Pundit Zhao had shut his eyes to rest, folding his arms as he sat by the side.
