Shortly after Yue Jinghua entered the alchemy room, the palace maid looked back several times as she left Lie Family Mansion, a hint of scheming crossing her eyes.
She gathered her energy, and it was as if she tread on clouds beneath her feet, quickly dashing into the alley and began to run at full speed.
The house guards from Lie Family Mansion who followed her were taken aback. They lost sight of her after not too long.
The palace maid continued to sprint forward until she eventually stopped at the residence of Sha Fei in the Little Shang Palace.
The palace wall was about thirty meters high, but the palace maid entered as if it was a place without people, quickly disappearing amongst the towers and pavilions of the Little Shang Palace.
By the lake near Liu Palace, Princess Xiu Rong was playing with a vine ball with a palace maid.
Sha Fei, who was more than six months pregnant, sat by the artificial mountain next to the lake, her face full of serene smiles.
