The soldiers stopped her, but did not dare to do anything to the Phoenix Girl, nor could they let her in. So all they could do was to stand in the way.
Gu Chaoyan walked forcefully for a while, stopped and turned around.
The imperial soldiers, who had thought that they were faced with the greatest enemy, felt very confused upon seeing the Phoenix Girl going away, but they let out a sigh of relief.
The King's order was to let them stop the Phoenix Girl from seeing Lord Huai. So they did not fail the mission since they successfully stopped her.
The soldiers looked at their chief, asking in confusion. "What is going on, Deputy General?"
The Deputy General patted their heads, asking, "What is going on? The Phoenix Girl is kind enough not to give us a hard time."
The soldiers felt so too. They kept saying that the Phoenix Girl was very understanding.
The General Deputy wiped his sweat, looking really tired.
