Although this place was remote and quiet, it was not very far from Lin'an City. It only took three days to travel between the two places, so news from Lin'an City quickly arrived.
Hence, Mu Yangling and the others learned that on the second day after they left, that the Second Prince had joined forces with Minister Qin to force the Emperor to abdicate. However, in less than two days, Bai Li brought back fresh news from the county.
Emperor Jingyan was not dead. He had gathered the 60,000 loyal imperial guards and now stayed 30 miles away from Lin'an City. Also, he had already ordered the generals to protect him. Therefore, Bai Li, who was not far away from them, also received the news.
"Fourth Madam, although this place is remote, if a war breaks out in Lin'an City, I'm afraid the refugees will flow here. Should we find another safe place?"
