As for the contents of the note, she didn't look at it, nor did she dare to .
However, after Su Xi-er discovered the note, the delight on her face made Miss Qing extremely uncomfortable!
"Miss Qing, thank you . " Su Xi-er grasped the note tightly in her hand .
"Remember what you have told me . Don't have wishful thinking about people you shouldn't forge connections with . " Miss Qing's voice was very low and carried a threatening tone .

"This servant knows, please don't worry, Miss Qing . "
After Miss Qing received Su Xi-er's a . s . surance, the former heaved a sigh of relief . "That is still acceptable . " She then turned and walked forward .
Some palace maids witnessed this scene and couldn't help but be curious in their hearts . How did Su Xi-er offend Miss Qing? Judging from that att . i . tude just now, it felt as if Miss Qing was going to strangle Su Xi-er to death .
Su Xi-er returned to her room with the note . After she closed the door, she immediately opened the white note up to find five large words written with forceful brush strokes .

Eunuch Zhang, Imperial Household Department
Hm? The one who took Ruo Yuan away was Eunuch Zhang? The Imperial Household Department arranges the a . s . signment of old maidservants, palace maids and eunuchs to the respective palaces, as well as handles various miscellaneous goods . Is it because Ruo Yuan is strong? That's why she went to the Imperial Household Department to work for Eunuch Zhang by carrying out manual labour and moving items?"
Su Xi-er was slightly relieved . Finally, she lit a candle and burned the note .
After tidying up, she laid down on the bed to rest .

Staying there until nightfall, she only woke up when Hong Li came to call her to eat dinner . After freshening herself up simply, she opened the door and prepared to leave .
However, Su Xi-er absolutely didn't expect she would see him right after she opened the door . Pei Qianhao! What about Hong Li? Where did she go? Just a moment ago, she was still calling me to go for dinner, but there's no sign of her now .
"This servant pays my respects…" She was about to bow when a large hand pressed against her shoulder and pushed her into the room .
As soon as the door closed, Pei Qianhao's stare made it seem as if he was trying to bore a hole through her .
Why is he looking at me like this? Su Xi-er was perplexed as she looked at him . When she saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she broke the silence, "Many thanks to Prince Hao for investigating Ruo Yuan's matter . Since she is in the Imperial household Department, I reckon that she was called over by Eunuch Zhang to do work . "
Although Pei Qianhao chuckled, his tone was unfriendly . "No need to thank this prince . You exchanged it with your kiss . "
The atmosphere immediately became awkward . The pa . s . sionate scene from last night engulfed Su Xi-er's mind in an instant .
"I wonder why you came to look for this servant today, Prince Hao?" She didn't understand . Even though the Empress Dowager has caused such a large commotion with her tantrum just for Prince Hao, he still chose to come here and trouble me instead of going to the Compa . s . sionate Peace Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager .
"What do you think?" Pei Qianhao walked closer to her step by step . This feeling made Su Xi-er very uncomfortable .
