The maids beside her all lowered their heads in a display of respect, but to Liu Sisi, it was nothing but an eyesore.
She walked slowly toward the outside as if she were riding in a leisurely carriage.
Despite everyone's attempts to stop her, she meandered through the winding pavilion and around the rockery in the heart of the lake, walking far and far, until all she could see was hills, as if, aside from her and the little maid behind her, there were no other people around.
Liu Sisi whipped around suddenly, "What does Old Madam intend by this? Does she wish to keep me here forever?"
The little maid retreated two steps in trepidation, "Princess, this order came from His Majesty himself, the slave does not know."
"What a convenient ignorance."
Liu Sisi knew she was directing her anger at the wrong person but could not suppress the fury in her heart, "Go and report back to Old Madam this instant, I want to leave!"
