Bai Ruozhu was quite bold, but even so, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when a rustling sound, carried by the wind, drew near, and her heart couldn't help but race.
Almost immediately, she threw down her extinguished lantern and, with a swift move, hid behind a nearby tree, giving herself some cover.
But following that, some strange sounds came through the wind, like the panting of a woman...
Bai Ruozhu's face turned green with fear, startled to find it was a pair of secret lovers. Tonight, the palace's focus was all on the New Year's Eve Feast. It was indeed a golden opportunity for the palace maids to have a secret romance.
She had intended to walk away, but on a whim, she decided to see who was so bold. Considering the ladies were all attending the palace banquet, could it be a palace maid and a guard? Or perhaps a palace maid and a eunuch getting frisky?
