Chapter 2654: Nice Weather

Xiao Jiu flapped and flapped to the window, took a glance outside, it was pitch black: "Has the master gone mad? Talking about good weather! It’s all dark outside, what is there to stroll around?"

At this moment, Zi Xia came back, glanced left and right, the hall was empty, the young lady was here just a moment ago, how did she disappear in the blink of an eye!

"Eh? Where did the young lady go?"

"Went to see the scenery!" A sharp voice came from the beam above.

Zi Xia looked up and saw it was indeed Xiao Jiu, this bird is elusive, sometimes it hasn’t been seen all day, other times it suddenly pops out from nowhere.

Zi Xia turned to look outside the window: "What nonsense is that, it’s pitch black outside, what scenery are you talking about?"

Xiao Jiu: "Really, that’s what the master said!"

Zi Xia: "Did you make the young lady angry again?"

Xiao Jiu shook its bird head: "No, I didn’t."

Zi Xia: "Impossible, if you didn’t anger her, how could the young lady be outside this late?"

"Who knows, maybe she misses the big bad guy?"

"Exactly! It’s been days, why hasn’t the Prince returned yet?" Zi Xia started to worry: "I must go outside to check on the young lady."

Xiao Jiu flapped and flapped down: "Me too, me too."

Just as the person and bird reached the garden, suddenly they heard a loud noise...

"Boom...!"

It scared them to death, Xiao Jiu fell straight from the air.

Zi Xia thought he was hit, rushed over and picked it up from the ground: "Hey hey hey! Are you alright?"

Xiao Jiu: "Scared me to death, scared me to death...!"

Zi Xia also looked bewildered: "Exactly, what happened? Could it be an explosion?"

Zi Xia suddenly seemed to remember something, screamed: "Oh no, the young lady."

Finishing the sentence, she tossed Xiao Jiu in her hand and turned to run.

"Oh my, oh my, I’m going to fall to death." Suddenly tossed by Zi Xia, Xiao Jiu didn’t have time to react and fell straight in the middle of the flower bed, getting hung on a branch.

"Tiger lady is indeed a tiger lady, so rough!" Flapping flapping, Xiao Jiu struggled to fly up.

At this moment, the maids and servant boys were running back and forth with lanterns in their hands, looking very flustered.

"Chirp chirp chirp, what exactly is going on?" Xiao Jiu stopped a maid and asked.

A maid holding a lantern replied impatiently: "Go, go, play elsewhere, don’t bother the maid, the Princess Consort was almost blown up just now."

"What? Which scoundrel dared to have the Courage of Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Gall and actually tried to harm the master." Xiao Jiu immediately exclaimed.

Maid: "Quickly move aside, the steward is gathering us for a briefing!"

Xiao Jiu followed the maid, kept asking: "Where is the master?"

The maid couldn’t help but reply: "The Princess Consort and the steward are in the hall."

Hall.

The usually quiet and deserted hall was bustling today.

Servants and women stood all around the hall.

These women were sent to the Prince by The Emperor as entertainment, raised by the Prince in other courtyards, usually they are not allowed to step out of the courtyard, given specific ranges for them to move.

The steward just sent someone to call them all to the hall.

"Oh dear, what on earth has happened?"

"Who knows? Why has the Princess Consort and the steward become like this?"

"Could it be related to the explosion just now?"

"Who knows."

"Could it be they’re suspecting us?"

"Be careful, don’t get in trouble!"

A bunch of women whispered below, ever since the Prince married the Princess Consort, he rarely called them to spend the night, some women felt fortunate, while some were annoyed, how would they fulfill The Emperor’s mission if the Prince doesn’t favor them?"
