By the time they arrived, it was already evening after a whole day of exhausting travel.
For dinner, they didn't go to any trouble and just ate in their respective courtyards.
After dinner, Xia Ruqing was so tired she could die. She had been sitting in the carriage for such a long time that her bones felt like they were going to shatter.
So, she took a bath, changed into inner wear, lay in bed flipping through the pages of a book, and fell asleep.
Zi Yue tidied up the book on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and let down the bed curtains before going out.
The Little Prince stayed in the side room as usual.
Zi Yue's footsteps were light as she stepped out of the door.
She looked up to see Sister Liang approaching in a hurry.
"Sister Liang, the master has already retired for the night. Do you need something?"
Sister Liang hesitated and glanced at the main hall, then lowered her head, looking somewhat troubled.
