Bai Zhi said: “You look suspicious. Act more natural. You don’t need to look around. Just walk as you do on ordinary days. If he wants to come out, he will naturally appear in front of us.”

Jin’er nodded: “I understand.”

Jin’er took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. In the past 2 days, the princess talked and cried to her many times. There were some things that a slave like her shouldn’t say, but she still said it to the princess. She persuaded the princess not to associate with Song Lang anymore. Song Lang was no longer the former Song Lang.

The princess was very sad, but what can she do?

The princess begged her wholeheartedly, that whether her current situation or her brother’s disappearance related to Song Lang or not, they shouldn’t do anything to him. Instead, she wanted to repay what her imperial father owed to the Song Family.

Jin’er sighed inside her heart. Their princess was too kind. She didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

“There are a lot of people there, let’s go and see.” Bai Zhi said to Jin’er.

Jin’er pushed her close to the place, but when the crowd saw that she was a girl in a wheelchair, they all walked away.

They got to the front smoothly.

When the boss saw a girl in a wheelchair, he hurriedly came forward with a few lanterns. The lanterns were of ordinary style, but there was a note hanging underneath of them.

“Girl, are you here to guess the lamp riddle? You can get a reward for guessing three correct answers.” The boss asked with a smile.

Bai Zhi smiled and asked, “What is the reward?”

The boss pointed to the table at the back. There were three boxes on the table. The boxes were covered, so she couldn’t see what was inside.

“Mysterious gift is just right to be used as a nice surprise. Slight present but weighty meaning”The boss smiled.

Bai Zhi glanced at the lamp, stretched out her hand and grabbed one casually, then flattened the note and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written: When the moon set, the sun goes out. Guess what the word is.

Jin’er leaned forward to look and muttered to herself: “When the moon sets, the sun goes out. Guess what word is it? What word?”

Bai Zhi uttered these words twice, suddenly, her eyes lit up and then said with a smile: “Could it be rouge?”

The boss immediately nodded: “Yes, it’s rouge. The lady guessed so fast, let’s look at another one.” The boss immediately handed another lamp note to Bai Zhi’s hand.

“Sweeping the ground with prestige, guess what word is it.”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked up at the boss. The boss looked at her with a smile. He has the same expression as before.

She smiled lightly: “Could it be tiger force?”

The boss nodded immediately: “It’s tiger force. The lady knows so much. If you guess another one, you will get a prize.”

With that said, the boss gave her another note. This time, instead of removing it from the lantern, he took it out of his sleeve and passed it straight.

She took it and looked at it carefully. There were only four words written in it: The chimera was crying.

It didn’t say what to type, whether it was a word, a name, or something else.

She thought for a while, looked up at the boss, and asked: “Is it pearl powder?”

The boss immediately clapped his hands: “Yes, the young lady is really a talented girl. It is Pearl Powder. Come here, please come over here.”

Jin’er pushed Bai Zhi and followed behind the boss. They went close to the table where the boxes were placed.

There were three boxes on the table. The boss asked Bai Zhi: “There are three boxes that the lady could choose from. The lady cannot exchange it once she chose.”

Bai Zhi was not in a hurry to choose. She stared at the three boxes and looked at them carefully. The three boxes looked the same at first glance, but the differences could be found after a careful look.
