Her late night visitor 1

The Duke's mansion

Lu Yingjie rode his horse during the ride back to the mansion from the palace so Zhu Fengyin was alone in the carriage. Everything that happened in the palace replayed in her mind during the ride back.

She didn't know what to make of the whole mess, she didn't understand who and why Su Liya was targeted. Why did it have to be Lu Yaozhu, madam Lu was like a tiger when it came to her children. This night wasn't going to be peaceful for her at the mansion but that was expected.

She didn't know how Su Liya was feeling while at the palace. The Emperor held her in the palace under the pretence of preparing for the wedding but any smart person could see that it was to protect his interest. The Emperor just conferred a marriage between one of his keep officials and a maid.
