After Ling Hua returned to the inner room, she quickly fell asleep.
The butler, following Ling Hua's instructions, chose a quiet and superior courtyard for Zhu Lan and arranged for attendants to serve her. He then inquired in great detail about Zhu Lan's dietary preferences, any food she might avoid, and so forth. If not for the fact that this was the Governor's Office, Zhu Lan might have mistaken herself for not a captive but a high-ranking guest.
As the Little Princess of Green Forest, could she easily reveal her preferences to others? Of course not.
