The treatment for the second visit to the palace was especially cordial compared to the first.
Last time he was here, Xu Yuan was directly taken by Xu Mengxi to that cold and damp prison reserved for severe punishments, but this time Xu Yuan was led by Xu Mengxi to the official residence of the Secret Investigation Department in Yamen.
Following behind Xu Mengxi, and after watching her swinging ponytail for a while, Xu Yuan shifted his gaze to the side.
The architecture of the Secret Investigation Yamen was imposing and solemn. In the open-air corridors, officials of the Secret Investigation Department in various ranks of official attire were busy coming and going, exuding a vibrant and serious atmosphere.
Most of the Secret Investigation Department's officials bowed and greeted Xu Mengxi when they saw her, but there was more or less a trace of disdain in their eyes.
Apparently, Xu Mengxi was not well-liked within the Secret Investigation Department.
