Upon realizing something was amiss, Anran's expression became somewhat panicked, and her first reaction was to hurry back to check if the person was still in the room.
Just as she turned around, she was kicked unconscious by a shadow that flew down from the eaves.
Shen Nanxing looked at her, crumpled on the ground like a pile of mud, and frowned with evident distaste as she scooped her up.
In the room, the previously unconscious Qi Yu was now sitting on the bed, while the palace maid who had drugged her was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear.
Qi Yu swung a silver needle in the air and said with a slight smile, "Have you thought it through? This princess can give you a chance to redeem yourself."
The palace maid nodded vigorously, "Princess... please don't kill me, I'll tell you everything!"
Just then, Shen Nanxing happened to push the door open.
She tossed the unconscious Anran carelessly aside, causing a loud thud as she hit the ground.
