At Green Hill Palace' secret meeting room.
Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang were waiting at the doors. A man with gold-plated armor with carvings of flames on it proceeded to report on their arrival to the higher authority. As for the other black-armored guard, he stood at the doors to keep watch on Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang.
One could imagine that Bai Linsu must have just put on her most serious look. She did not dare to look away from the doors. As for Linghu Shuang, she felt extremely nervous to enter the Palace. She did not even dare to take in deep breaths.
Creak…
The heavy stone doors were being pushed open. The guards who went in earlier were now out.
"The Empress will see you now, Bai Linsu!"
"How about me?" asked Linghu Shuang.
The guard then looked at her with a darkened face and did not even bother to answer her question.
"Shuang'er! Wait for me here! Remember! Do not simply spurt things that you shouldn't say!"
