The elderly eunuch immediately lit up with a smile and addressed Qin Zhenzhen, "I shall return to the palace first. Tomorrow, at this very hour, I'll come to escort Miss Qin into the palace."
The Emperor had granted Qin Zhenzhen a day's reprieve.
For this night, she could remain within her current abode.
Her immediate concern was to confer with Su Bin on how to expedite their exit from the palace, so she could resume her role as the wealthiest individual in the prefecture.
Little did Su Bin anticipate that Qin Zhenzhen would make plans to depart the palace so swiftly.
Among the palace's eunuchs, he was compelled to restrain his excitement and, with a longing in his eyes, draw Qin Zhenzhen into an embrace.
"My beloved, I've yearned for you endlessly!"
Qin Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed as she instinctively attempted to extricate herself from Su Bin's sudden embrace.
How audacious of him to embrace her like this without warning!
