"I wonder what prime minister Hong is doing outside the palace?" Xue Fang asked again.
"I'm just bored, sir. So I thought about taking a walk while relaxing my mind, tonight's air is very cold but it feels refreshing, isn't it Mister Xue?" Hong Lie replied with a friendly smile on his face.
"Ah.. that's true. I can feel it too," Xue Fang replied. He looked left and right, it was clear that he was looking for someone. Usually, several people always follow and surround the middle-aged man.
"I'm alone, sir. Bringing those maids with me is troublesome."
Xue Fang nodded at the middle-aged man's words, "That's right, sometimes we do feel like spending time alone and enjoying the night air without any disturbance from anyone. I do it often too, Prime Minister Hong. The mind can become more relaxed than usual," he replied.
