Since being scolded harshly by Shaoyao the night before yesterday, Nian Ruting had not spoken to her for two days, only watching coldly as she left the Nian Mansion secretly every day, came back after one or two four-hour periods, went out again, came back, looking more and more anxious because she always came back empty-handed.
The heavily guarded Imperial Palace of Qian Country was an extremely familiar place for Shaoyao, as she had once been the "ghost" who could freely move within the high walls of the palace and knew some hidden places inside the palace.
Although when Duanmu Chen became the emperor, he learned that Shaoyao, one of the secret guards trained by Duanmu Yi, had disappeared and increased vigilance, the layout of the palace remained the same and could not block Shaoyao's snooping and investigation.
After not having any gains repeatedly, she came to the difficult place—Su Mansion, where people came and went every day.
