Hua Yan glanced at Lu Zhiling, who was under Su Zizhan's control, enduring the stares of everyone as if placed on a rack over a roaring fire, and couldn't help but smirk to herself. She appreciated the sight for a moment before letting him off the hook and turned her attention to Zhao Qingxi.
Zhao Qingxi stood beside Lady Zhao, her expression as fascinating as everyone else's.
She gave a slight smile and addressed her, "Sister Zhao, could you trouble yourself to find me a place to change my clothes? These damp clothes clinging to my body are truly uncomfortable."
Zhao Qingxi snapped out of it and hurried over, her face returning to normal as she smiled and said, "I'll take you there right now."
Hua Yan smiled, excused herself from Princess Dachang, King of Anyang's Consort, Duchess of Jingguo, and followed Zhao Qingxi away.
Qiuyue and Maid Fang and the others quickly followed suit.
