Princess Yunrou stood at the entrance to the room, smiling gleefully: "Miss Bai, are you surprised? I sneaked away and made it here!"
Bai Zi jerked to her feet.
The movement was so abrupt that it knocked against Prince Aisi's hand and the big shrimp fell to the table with a clatter.
Looking up towards the red-clad Hong Yao at the door, Bai Zi saw him wincing in pain, his eyes closed as he pointed to his throat. He had been silenced by Yunrou's henchmen, who said they wanted to surprise Bai Zi.
Princess Yunrou's smile paused as she squinted her eyes and asked, "Miss Bai, are you having a private meal with Prince Aisi?"
She put particular emphasis on the word 'private'.
Bai Zi curtsied, "Just a chance meetup, your Highness!"
As she straightened up and looked around, a chill ran down her spine.
Behind Princess Yunrou was a group of luminaries from Ye City, both male and female, with the most attention-grabbing among them being Wei Jin, King Rui.
