"My prince, you're finally back." After attending to Liang Zhaoyi's bath, Gui Xing had been waiting for Zhao Yao at the door. She had waited a long time and finally saw Zhao Yao return. If Zhao Yao hadn't come back, she was about to go out to find him.
Seeing Zhao Yao alone, without Tong Xi, she quickly asked, "Your Highness, why are you alone? Where is Tong Xi?"
"I sent him to handle something; he'll be back soon." Zhao Yao said, grinning at Gui Xing, "Gui Xing, I have something good for you."
"Something good?" Gui Xing asked curiously, "What good thing?"
"You'll know right away," Zhao Yao replied, "Where are Mother and Second Mother?"
"The Beauty and the Princess have returned to their rooms to rest, and the lady is reading," Gui Xing asked, "Your Highness, where did you go? I went to Chaoyang Palace and Xingde Palace but couldn't find you. Did anything happen to you?"
"Something did happen; otherwise, I'd have been back earlier."
