Qi Zhu swept the floor, stealing glances at the two palace maids standing to the side. They wore aquamarine female servant uniforms, not attire from the palace, but since Nanny Qi had said so, they must be from the palace.
Qi Zhu had considered this possibility before, but after so many years, the Empress had never sent anyone to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Why suddenly send two people now?
Qi Zhu paused. Had the Empress discovered something?
Cold sweat broke out on Qi Zhu, and before he could take any action, he heard Qi Jin rush into the room like a mouse escaping a fire, snatching the broom right out of Qi Zhu's hand.
"Quick, quick, the Commandery Princess is here," Qi Jin spoke in a panic. Qi Zhu was again frightened into a cold sweat and, setting aside any further deliberation, immediately headed towards the two figures standing like posts next to the Crown Prince's Study Room.
