Qin Hui was startled, and cold sweat drenched him instantly.
Courtiers? Previously, he had learned that his own father was coming this way with his colleagues.
Although he didn't know exactly which courtiers were in Guiyuelou at the moment, if his own father was one of them...
By coincidence, there were people discussing nearby.
"Look, isn't that Lord Cao from the Ministry of Works? Oh my! Lord Yuan is here too... Tsk, tsk! Seems like a lot of people got caught up in this mess!"
Qin Hui trembled all over!
Although he did not recognize any Lord Cao or Lord Yuan, weren't they among the colleagues his father had been constantly talking about recently?
With these thoughts, he couldn't care about anything else and, like a fugitive, he turned and ran towards the edge of the crowd.
The crowd surged forward while he desperately pushed his way out, managing to escape the throng; he didn't even bother to pick up one of his shoes that got lost in the process.
