Another little maid said, "If it's really a massacre, why haven't they come to kill us here? In my opinion, it certainly is not the case. The Imperial Envoy wouldn't do such a thing without reason."
"Who says there's no reason? It is said that the Lord Imperial Envoy suspects that rebel remnants have entered the city, so that's why he started the massacre..."
The chirping and fragmentary voices of the two little maids slowly drew Liu Sisi's mind back.
She never thought she would hear news about him while staying here.
Didn't they say he could only stay in Wanzhou City for seven days? Why is he still lingering here? Isn't he worried about defying the Imperial Decree?
She stretched out her hand and touched the poison sores on her face. The sores, after Young Master Wuxin's meddling, showed no signs of getting better; on the contrary, there were indications that they were spreading further. Each sore was beginning to fester, with a faint sense of being uncontrollable.
