Seeing Xiao Heng and the others emerge, a flicker of joy flashed through the eyes of a woman in the pavilion. She hurried over and said respectfully, "Lord Xiao Heng, Her Highness the Princess invites you over."
"Lead the way," Xiao Heng said softly. Under the maid's guidance, they once again arrived at the grand hall from yesterday.
When they entered the hall, a lavish banquet had already been prepared. Nan He was there as well. Upon seeing them enter, she immediately rose and smiled. "You are all honored guests. Please, take your seats. It is merely simple food and drink; I hope you will not find it lacking."
"Flower, pour wine for our honored guests."
Nan He received them warmly, and Xiao Heng played along with a few polite exchanges. Nan He raised her cup and said, "A toast to our honored guests."
The wine was rich and fragrant, its pale yellow liquid caressing the walls of the white jade cup. Xiao Heng picked up his cup, glanced at the wine within, and smiled without betraying anything. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Once the words fell, everyone drained their cups. Qing Lin did not enjoy drinking, but since they were being so courteous, she found it difficult to refuse and could only drink along with them.
As the wine entered their stomachs, Nan He smiled faintly and waved her hand. All the maids withdrew from the hall, leaving only her and the three of them behind.
Nan He looked at Xiao Heng with a smile. "Mr. Xiao Heng, are you satisfied with Myriad Poison Cave?"
"Satisfied. Naturally, I am satisfied. I must thank Your Highness for this. However, I will be leaving soon, so I hope Your Highness can look after my people. Xiao Heng will surely repay you generously
