The Imperial Palace was resplendent with lights at night, yet also completely silent.
「In the study.」
Di Jiao, one of the Ageless Beauties, looked at the thick pile of unapproved documents on the desk and shook her head in resignation. "Has Your Majesty not returned?"
The Palace Maid standing quietly to the side said, "She left the palace early this morning."
"Sigh, neglecting her official duties... She's only concerned with matters of the heart. She is still so young, after all." With a soft sigh, Di Jiao said, "Notify Chief Attendant Hu immediately and ask him to escort Her Majesty back to the palace. These important documents must be signed by Her Majesty before dawn."

「Meanwhile.」
「In the mutton shop.」
Di Xuanji tilted her head slightly, looking at the hand placed on her shoulder. "Love at first sight?" she asked with a half-smile. "I think you're just acting on lust. You followed me all the way here, didn't you?"
