Chapter 41: Hey, Little Sister, What are You up to?

Behind Princess Xuehua, a maid was holding a wooden bucket in her hand. Faintly audible from the bucket were the panicked squeaks of mice and the sound of their claws scrambling around inside.

Raising her hand to signal the maid holding the wooden bucket to hide first, Princess Xuehua herself walked towards Nanny Jin and said, "Nanny, the two-hour mark is almost up. Please go and invite the Empress Dowager over now."

Nanny Jin, seeing the smile on Princess Xuehua's face, asked somewhat anxiously, "And what about you, Princess?"

Nanny Jin was an old nanny in the palace and had seen many of the scheming and plotting that went on in the harem. She had long noticed Princess Xuehua's animosity towards Su Qian and naturally did not feel at ease leaving her alone, so she asked her to stay.

"Of course I'll go with you, Nanny." Princess Xuehua blinked innocently and asked, "Why do you ask? Are you worried that I might do something bad to Miss Su?"
