Bai Ruozhu dismissed the morning breeze and Muyu, instructing Muyu to accept his punishment once they reached their destination. Muyu, seeing that the lady had spoken, let out a great sigh of relief. After all, being able to delay it by even one day was still one day gained, and at least he wouldn't have to become a useless casualty.
"You didn't succeed?" After the others had left, Bai Ruozhu turned to Jianqi and asked.
Jianqi shook his head slightly, "No opportunity arose."
Bai Ruozhu knew Jianqi was prudent, and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, we won't make any moves tonight to avoid raising suspicion. We'll look for another chance tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord," Jianqi replied, then left the room, throwing Muyu a fierce glare, as if wishing he could poke a few holes through him.
Muyu shrank his neck and kept glancing at Jianqi. After a while, he couldn't help himself and leaned in to whisper a question: "What did you go do? The lady said not to hit him, so what method did you use?"
