After entering the palace, Xingxing dismounted first and then helped Su Jin down.
After resting all the way, she had regained a bit of strength.
The little eunuch led the way in front, and Su Jin asked, "Is there a shortcut to Yaohua Palace?"
"There is one, but usually it's frequented by Palace Attendants," the little eunuch replied.
"Then let's take the shortcut."
Su Jin was afraid of getting tired and appearing pale, causing unnecessary worry and calling for a doctor.
Following Su Jin's orders, the little eunuch led them through the shortcut.
Yet no one expected Su Jin to encounter a robbery in the palace.
Of course, she wasn't the target of the robbery.
A palace maid was robbing another little palace maid.
Today was the day the palace distributed the monthly salary; the little palace maid had just received it and was checking the amount when another palace maid caught up with her and extended her hand, "Give it to me."
