Liugu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Princess, did you complete your tribulation ahead of schedule and return?"
Jingxiang looked at the innocent, almost foolish-looking Liushu and helplessly shook her head.
Did she really think the Princess had gone through a tribulation?
In that condition, with her body still injured, who would choose to descend to the mortal realm and undergo a tribulation at that time unless they had no other choice?
Su Qiao nodded perfunctorily. "Mm, more or less."
Liugu immediately ran outside excitedly. "Then I'll report to the Empress right away. She'll definitely be thrilled to know you've returned safely. She mentioned you worriedly just two days ago, afraid you might not be eating or sleeping well out there."
"You're not allowed to go." Su Qiao grabbed her back, then stared at the two of them with a serious expression. "No one is to know that I've returned for now."
"By the way, are there any other people in the palace right now?" Su Qiao looked around. She did not see anyone else in the palace, but for safety's sake, she had no choice but to question them carefully.
A trace of confusion flashed through Jingxiang's eyes.
Why did the Princess seem not to remember anything?
"No. Before you left, you said that only the two of us were allowed to enter and leave Yun Hua Palace. No one else has come in since."
Since there was no one else, Su Qiao felt relieved.
"Princess, why? Why can't we tell anyone?" Liugu asked, her face full of confusion.
Su Qiao pondered for a moment, then deliberately put on a serious and mysterious expression. "There are still some things I haven't figured out. Until I do, neither of you is allowed to reveal a single word. Otherwise..."
