Qianru felt their strange behavior, so did Liu Wei, he stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of his sword, ready for the unexpected turn of event.
"Who is she?" Qianru asked, but didn't give the hat to them yet. She tried to take a peek of her face, but couldn't see it clearly as her hair covered the most part of her face and gave her nothing to see.
"She is only a mere servant Princess Xiao." The guard was fidgeting under Qianru scrutinized eyes.
"Why she is in bad shape?" Qianru still not satisfied with their lies.
"She was committing a crime, was stealing from one of the concubine's room and just received her punishment." The other guards explained it smoothly.
Lin Xingyan wanted to clap her hands for those guards quick witted thought, they could manage to come up with such a story and lied without batting their eyes, such an amazing talent.
Qianru didn't give any reaction or said anything.
