At this moment, footsteps outside the door grew more numerous. Jiang Lai put on his clothes and shoes, tidied his hair, and looked towards the window of the sleeping quarters.
"Your Highness, I'll be on my way now."
Chu Yunci remained silent, watching as Jiang Lai gathered her skirt, dragged her slightly plump body, and jumped out of the window.
The action was still somewhat nimble.
Just as Jiang Lai left, a knock on the door sounded. Before Chu Yunci could respond, the main door burst open from the outside, and the Third Prince Chu Yunxiao barged in, shouting.
"Second Brother, Second Brother, nothing's wrong, is there? Are you alright..."
Upon seeing Chu Yunci dressed neatly and calmly, Chu Yunxiao's expression changed. He subconsciously glanced around the sleeping quarters and found no flaws.
The bed was tidy and clean, and Chu Yunci had a blanket draped over his legs, quietly reading under the lamp.
