The night descended, with stars adorning the tranquil night sky. Inside a residence in Wuguan, a room was decorated simply yet elegantly. Xiao Yunxi gently laid down the Young Prince, whom she had just lulled to sleep, and then carefully tiptoed away from the bed, cautious not to disturb the child.
Her face still bore the tender affection of a mother's love, but fatigue was unmistakably etched at the corners of her eyes.
As she exited the room, the maid waiting outside whispered, "Princess Consort, the hot water is ready."
Xiao Yunxi nodded silently and walked towards the adjacent "bathroom." The moment she shut the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter."
"Understood."
Inside the room, steam rose above the bathtub. Xiao Yunxi personally ensured the doors and windows were properly closed, then unfolded a screen nearby, forming a semi-trapezoid beside the bathtub. Only after rechecking thoroughly did she feel at ease.
