The next day, after court ended, Jiang Zixuan went straight to the palace gates to wait for Jiang Nuan.
"Zixuan?"
Jiang Nuan circled Jiang Zixuan once, speaking in disbelief.
Jiang Zixuan usually kept a low profile, but today she wore pale pink robes, with lively butterflies embroidered along her skirt. As she walked, the butterflies seemed to flutter.
She had even applied lip rouge to her little face, which was normally free of makeup.
At first glance, Jiang Nuan had almost failed to recognize her.
"Yes. Nuannuan, let's go."
Jiang Zixuan spoke with a hint of anticipation.
After the two arrived at the Court of Judicial Review, they spotted Zhou Youjia waiting to welcome them at the entrance from a distance.
The moment Zhou Youjia saw Jiang Zixuan, his face flushed, and he even began to stammer.
"Y-Your Highness, Your Ladyship, please follow me."
Throughout the walk, Zhou Youjia did not dare look at Jiang Zixuan.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Zixuan could not help letting out a soft laugh.
That made Zhou Youjia blush even more.
Only after they reached the cells and Zhou Youjia settled into his work did he gradually return to normal.
He had originally intended to bring these prisoners out for Jiang Nuan to see, but that would have been too conspicuous. He could only ask her to put up with visiting the cells instead.
Jiang Nuan noticed nothing amiss. She simply assumed they were showing her the cells because she had wanted to come and have some fun.
Zhou Youjia brought her to the cells housing people who had not yet been convicted because there was insufficient evidence.
Compared with the dungeons housing the most heinous criminals, these cells looked much more normal. At least they could be considered clean and tidy.
