In Harmony

Head Palace Maid Zhiqing whispered, "Confirmed. She walked directly from the Furong Pavilion without the usual detours, heading straight for the back entrance of Prince Ning's residence. This is why our people were able to keep up. Up until the Chen hour, she hadn't left Prince Ning's residence."

Hearing this, Empress Ma laughed heartily, her laughter full of joy. The soft laughter echoed in the front hall of the Kunning Palace for quite some time before coming to a stop.

Empress Ma wiped the tears of laughter from the corner of her eyes and casually inquired, "And what's this Furong Pavilion business about?"

Zhiqing murmured, "It seems to be a property she acquired. However, it was someone else who initially appeared, not her. Lady Chu, the wife of the Shuntian Prefect, is also involved. The two families have become quite close."

Empress Ma snorted, "Success goes to one's head."
