Xue Linglong said, "Okay."
Then the three of them came to sit inside the pavilion, and at this point Mu Zixuan turned to her maid and said, "Xiao Rou, quickly have someone make tea, the best tea from the Prince's Mansion."
The maid instantly understood the intent behind Mu Zixuan's words, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right now."
Mu Zixuan then said, "Sister Xue, you must have encountered many hardships on your journey to North Country."
Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong let out a sigh and did not speak, her face showing a look of sadness.
Mu Zixuan quickly tried to comfort her, "I'm sorry, Sister Xue, I shouldn't have mentioned that. You don't need to be sad, all of that is in the past now."
Xue Linglong grasped Mu Zixuan's hand and said, "Sister Zixuan is right, all of that is in the past now."
"It's all thanks to Ninth Brother. If he hadn't taken us in, I fear the dozens of us from the East Palace would have ended up with our heads fallen."
