The plump old woman frowned and said, "Why isn't it Eunuch Wen coming?"
"Do you think anyone in this camp would dare to forge an imperial edict?" Zu'an said irritably, feeling no goodwill towards Bai Fei after what she had just done to her. "Eunuch Wen is guarding outside. If you're worried, go ask him yourself."
“That’s true,” the plump old woman said, wiping her hands off the pastry oil stains on her clothes. “You should have come sooner, making me waste so much time here.”
After saying that, she walked out, clearly not intending to watch what happened next.
As she reached the door, Zuan delivered a swift chop to her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Bai Fei, who had been lying numbly on the bed, widened her eyes upon seeing this scene.
Zuan came to her side and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened that got you into this state?"
Consort Bai smiled bitterly: "This is a long story."
Zuan knew that time was of the essence and there was no chance to listen to her slowly explain: "We'll talk about these things after I rescue you."
After he finished speaking, he helped Bai Fei sit up. She really did exude a pleasant floral fragrance, which was also faintly mixed with a milky scent.

"Don't waste time. This is a restriction personally placed by the Emperor. Unless he does it himself, it cannot be broken." Consort Bai shook her head, her beautiful eyes looking at Zu An. "I am already very grateful that you have the intention to save me, but this matter is of great importance. Don't let it implicate you in the end. You should just kill me to report back."
Zuan shook his head: "How could I possibly kill you?"
Entrusted by Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei, and considering that they had helped him a lot in the palace, how could he possibly harm her?
Consort Bai, unaware of this connection, was taken aback upon hearing this, a faint blush rising to her neck. Her voice softened, and her tone became increasingly sincere: "You really can't save me. Eunuch Wen is guarding outside, and the Emperor is also in this camp. He can suppress any disturbance with a flick of his wrist. If you really want to help me, then help me send a message."
She paused, a hint of shyness and sorrow in her voice, and said, "I understand your feelings, young master. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you with my life."
Zuan: "..."
You don't understand anything!
