He frowned and was about to say something when a soft voice spoke next to his ear, "Cousin Long Yin, you've been working all day. Have a drink and take some rest."
Long Yin gave a start and turned to look. He was a little surprised to see Lu Xue, but there was a happy twinkle in his eyes. "When did you come to the Palace?" His tone softened.
