Lu Xiaoyou had the servants inform Zhou Qi that she wanted to follow them to the Secret Garden to pack her belongings and also wished to say goodbye to the sisters there.
In truth, she did not know any sisters; it was merely an excuse.
In Zhou Qi's eyes, Lu Xiaoyou was the antidote for Long Xiliang; as long as she made reasonable requests, Zhou Qi would agree to them.
Zhou Qi did not report to Long Xiliang and, with a grand gesture, approved Lu Xiaoyou and the servants to return to the Secret Garden once more.
The next day, when Lu Xiaoyou left the castle, she took the Sky-Annihilating Emperor with her.
"Master, why go through all the trouble to save Bai Dongye?"
Moreover, this risked angering Long Xiliang.
"Miemie, I need servants who are loyal to me!"
