Fang Guizhi's face suddenly turned as white as a sheet of paper, but she quickly looked away, slightly angry as she said, "Who has been gossiping to you? Who would pursue me?"
That last sentence carried a hint of grievance, sounding immensely desolate. Bai Ruozhu's heart ached, and she instantly softened.
She went over and put an arm around Fang Guizhi's shoulder, speaking softly, "It was because I saw someone's silhouette that looked familiar, but then he hid himself, which is why I asked. Don't overthink it. I've received a Holy Edict and will leave the Capital in five days, so I'm worried about you in case something happens."
"You're leaving the Capital? To do what?" Fang Guizhi became anxious upon hearing this, as if without Bai Ruozhu, she would lose her mainstay.
