When Chu Qianli woke up, it was already afternoon that day.
Beside her, it was empty, and there was only herself in the room.
After a simple wash, she immediately went out the door.
"Has the Prince been here?" she asked the Palace Maid and eunuch outside, but none of them had seen the Prince.
Only a guard replied, "He came several times last night. The last time was just before dawn, and seeing the Princess still busy, he did not disturb her. Since then, he hasn't appeared again."
"What about Prince Yexuan?" Recently, she had gotten used to having many people around her, and suddenly being alone made Chu Qianli feel inexplicably uneasy.
"Prince Yexuan left after dawn today and hasn't returned since." Answered the guard.
He didn't return—could it be that he is still studying the Treasure Map with Fourth Royal Uncle?
But for now, Chu Qianli did not dwell on this matter.
She hadn't expected to sleep so long; most of the day had passed by thus.
