Xiao Jizi was about to answer when he saw her reaction and thought something was missed, so he asked, "My lady, have you remembered something to instruct?"
Lian Hua did not heed his words, instead, she thought of His Majesty inside the room and the possibility that dawned on her made her eyes widen and her mouth open in an "Ah" as she thought, "It's all over."
The item in the secret compartment was not something she could entrust others to move to the Main Hall; she had planned to pack it into a small bundle herself once everything was ready, and have it moved under her watchful eyes. Then she would find a spot to hide it where no one, including Xiao Jizi, would notice.
Holding her waist, she hurried to the entrance of the Side Hall, ignoring the entreaties to slow down from those behind her. She stepped into the Side Hall and quickly walked up to the moon gate.
Just then, His Majesty looked up, as if only just noticing her return, and smiled tenderly at her, "Is Nannan back?"
