The general did not take action immediately because he was confident in Princess Ji'er's martial arts skills. He also wanted to catch that woman while she was unprepared.
As he watched the woman who died a horrible death, the personal guard felt no sympathy for her at all.
It was because the woman was not innocent.
Chu Qi planned to carry Ji'er into the room after leaving the garden.
Before they entered the room, however, Ji'er suddenly said, "Put me down, Lil Qi. I'd like to sit here for a while."
"Alright," Chu Qi replied and put her down.
Ji'er leaned on the bench in the corridor. Her pale face looked almost translucent. When she saw Chu Qi still standing there, she smiled and said, "You have a lot of work to handle, Lil Qi. There is no need for you to accompany me. I'll be fine on my own."
