Xiao Jinyan chuckled lowly, "I know my limits."
Shen Chuwei: "..." I don't believe you, damn it! Talk about limits, letting me rest at the fourth watch is already good enough.
Just as Shen Chuwei had expected, the light in the room remained on until the fourth watch.
The next day, Shen Chuwei skipped her morning meal and went straight to the study room.
The guard at the Crown Prince's bedchamber saw the Crown Princess and, giving a bow as a sign of respect, allowed her to pass.
Shen Chuwei smoothly made her way to the study room and pushed the door open to enter.
Inside the study room, it was empty and so quiet that she could hear her own heart beating anxiously with guilt.
She went to the bookshelf she had examined the day before, pressed the glass lamp, and heard a "click" as a secret compartment opened, revealing its contents.
