The Third Year of Zhao Wu The Lamp Behind the Curtain, the Sword in its Case (22) Ah Xin spent several days at Huaichen Mansion, feeling quite uncomfortable. Li Yanyi couldn't bring Ah Xin back to the Forbidden Garden.

During daytime, merchants in both the East and West markets had sparse customers.

Zhen Wenjun sent people to check the surroundings, but they found no suspicious individuals.
