Chapter 89

QingWu had no sense of deliberately making trouble for anyone.

Because of Xiao Chenyan's silence, the conversation naturally shifted to the matter of the invitation sent by the Crown Princess.

"Are you going?"

"Of course!" QingWu's eyes sparkled with undisguised excitement. "I've been wanting to take a stroll around the palace for ages. Without an invitation from the host, I can't just waltz in."

"This Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace counts as, what, a quarter of a host at best!"

Xiao Chenyan raised a brow in surprise. "Is there even a place you can't get into?"

"The imperial city is the domain of mortal emperors," QingWu replied with a trace of mockery in her gaze. "Spirits and specters are forbidden to tread there. It's like an ordinary household that worships door guardians—regular ghosts can't enter such a home either."
