With a flash, Qiao Mu flitted past the maidservant and walked through the small arched door.
Jolting in fright, the two guards of the City Lord's Estate standing at the door quickly bellowed, "Who is it?"

"Your humble subordinate had not noticed that it was Crown Prince Consort. His Highness has orders for miscellaneous people not to approach this rear garden."
Qiao Mu waved her hand and then ran inside the rear garden toward where she sensed there were people.
She ran all the way past the artificial mountains and through the hallways. When she finally got near, she involuntarily slowed her steps.
A languishing scene of withered trees and yellowing leaves entered her eyesight, but the four people within indeed made people unable to turn their eyes away.
