Chapter 39: I will accept this invitation

Chu Shao was asked to leave by the people of the fourth prince?

Xiao Jin's hand was suspended in front of the door, but she couldn't knock on it.

She turned her head and looked at Old Zhang kneeling in the snow, asking as calmly as possible, "When did it happen?"

Old Zhang's body was almost shaking like a sieve, "It's been... about three, three cups of tea."

Three cups of tea are roughly equivalent to half an hour.

Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, the palace maid inside the hall slowly opened the vermilion door, wanting to see who was making noise outside.

The palace maid rubbed her eyes and opened the door. When she saw the cold face of the visitor, her whole body trembled and she quickly knelt down to pay her respects, "I greet Her Royal Highness, the Prince Yan!"

However, Xiao Jin had no time to delay any longer.

She calculated the time and said a sentence that made everyone present fall into contemplation.

"It's almost too late."

Old Zhang, who knew the situation, understood this sentence too well.

He knelt on the ground and secretly thought: The prince said it was almost too late when the princess had only been gone for three cups of tea. It seems that the prince is really very concerned about the princess.

On the other side, Xiao Jin secretly thought that if she didn't go to save the fourth prince now, it would be too late.

The only confused person was the palace maid kneeling in front of the hall door.

Although she didn't understand what Her Royal Highness, the Prince Yan, was saying, she knew that she was weak now and must be welcoming the visitor inside.

However, when she looked up, she saw that Her Royal Highness had coughed violently twice, rubbing her forehead, and said to Old Zhang, "Find a carriage and go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion at the fastest speed."

Due to the cough, Xiao Jin's voice was slightly hoarse. But her speech was fast, obviously encountering something urgent.

The palace maid had heard some movement outside the door just now.

But she never thought that the Prince Yan  had already walked to the door of the Empress Shufei's palace and would turn around for a deceased princess and abandon the Empress to go to the Prince's Mansion.

The palace maid and the forgotten two stood together, watching Xiao Jin and Old Zhang's gradually disappearing figures.

"Can I tell Lady Shufei about this?" asked the Wen Yue palace maid, standing still and whispering, "I think such a big matter will soon spread throughout the entire palace, so I must tell Princess Zhao Yang later, otherwise it will be considered as incompetence."

The Yan Mansion's maidservant was also bewildered at the moment, "What about me? The prince left me here and didn't take care of me. Where should I go?"

The two palace maids looked at her, "You? You should pray that you won't be silenced by the Prince Yan when you fall asleep at night."

...

When Xiao Jin left the mansion, Chu Shao smiled and watched her leave.

After the other party disappeared, she first returned to her own room, and then quietly made her way to Xiao Jin's study and bedroom.

The study was filled with shelves of books.

Chu Shao randomly took down one book, most of which were military strategy books that had been read and were old.
