Mu Mian returned to the palace, covered in dirt and ash.
"Mu Mian, where have you been?" He Zhi called out to her.
Mu Mian wiped her face with her hand. "Don't mention it. His Highness made me go to the street to set some firewood on fire. I almost got caught."
He Zhi: "His Highness... what was that for?"
"How would I know?" Mu Mian waved her hand. "I need to go wash up first."
Chuzheng returned later than Mu Mian. As soon as Mu Mian entered the room and found no one there, she intended to call someone, but Chuzheng jumped in through the window.
Mu Mian: "..."
Chuzheng: "..."
Oops!
Spotted.
Mu Mian was dumbfounded: "Your Highness, you..."
Chuzheng took a deep breath and struck a pose as if she was a big shot. "Just getting some fresh air."
Mu Mian pointed at the door, then at the window, bewildered.
Does getting fresh air require climbing through the window?
Chuzheng calmly waved her hand. "You can leave for now."
