The cloaked men, in order not to be discovered by the mansion guards, had come via the small path that the Princess Consort had taken just now.
After reaching the courtyard, they naturally wouldn't go around in circles and simply vaulted over the outer wall, landing right where Sister Sangsang had asked him to place the water tubs.
So, if they didn't land in the water tubs, who else would?
"Princess Consort, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Upon realizing this, Baiqing looked at his mother and asked.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Princess Consort Niu glanced at the courtyard gate and spoke.
"Mm-hmm."
Baiqing responded and followed his mother into the courtyard.
…
In the courtyard, Lin Caisang was sitting on a stone bench, reading a book.
When Princess Consort Niu and Baiqing entered, she heard their footsteps and turned her head, smiling as she spoke.
"How did it go, staying outside for so long, did you figure out the reason… right?"
