*CHAOXING'S POV
"Nothing. Nothing. Wu ling, I have to go." Jixia said smiling at Wu Ling before she left.
After she was gone, I turn to Wu Ling. Just as I am about to speak, Jixia's servant enters imside. Jixia was acting so carefully in her own palace. Clearly someone was blackmailing Jixia and forcing her to do jis bidding. Although I had heard of the two regents, I had never gotten to see them personally before. After seeing Jixia's reaction to Duke Henan, I think its safe to say it isn't Duke Henan who was blackmailing Jixia.
"Your Highnesses, this is where you will be staying. If you need anything, please let me know. The palace isn't safe for the moment. I beg you not to act carelessly" Jixia's personal maid, Tong Hua said
"Tong Hua, tell me. What is happening? What is your lady hiding from me?" Wu Ling asked
"Your Highness, please don't ask. I never expected you would dare to come here. I better leave" Tong Hua said and left.
