Bab 179: What's Inside the Box (2)

Lin Xiaofei slowly pulled the hidden small compartment on top of the box. It was too small to notice and had the size of an inch of a finger.

After the cover was pulled to the side, there was a small mutton jade in the shape of a flower. That jade was the only embellishment that was on the box and encrusted deeply on the top of it thus, it wasn't visible to others.

Soon after she saw the jade, Lin Xiaofei held her palm over where the jade was and let three drops of her blood drop on it.

'Drip'

'drip'

Lin Xiaofei stared at the box for a moment before she secured a handkerchief around her bleeding hand. The rustling noise of the fabric was the only sound that could be heard inside the room.

In the past, Concubine Xian would always bring her along with her. It may sound like Xiaofei was being favored by the mother of the fourth prince but only she and the concubine knew what was really going on.
