Bai Ruozhu was previously preparing dicine in her space. Jiang Yichun received the signal but didn’t disturb her until the rescue was completed, and she heard the commotion outside, so she exited the space.
She saw Tang Feng and the others covered in injuries, and she instantly exploded with anger.
"What happened? Who injured you?"
Jiang Yichun hurriedly explained, "It was a group of unidentified ninjas. They had just sent a signal, and since ti was pressing, we went to rescue people first."
Bai Ruozhu quickly helped Yizi and the others to sit down and said to Gao Zhou, "Let’s deal with their wounds first."
Gao Zhou nodded, checking Tang Feng first. Tang Feng was the most seriously injured, but it seed to be mostly superficial. Yizi had been hit by a few hidden weapons and was poisoned, with so internal injuries. Bai Ruozhu quickly fed her a green detoxification pill and helped disinfect and bandage her wounds.
Jianqi was also bandaged with Gao Zhou’s help. The three were exhausted after their escape, and Bai Ruozhu instructed them to rest well, actually not to worry about anything else for the mont.
Bai Ruozhu noticed Tang Feng’s hesitant expression and found an excuse to go to Tang Feng’s room.
"Did you discover anything?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
"It should be the sa group that sent shadow ninjas to attack us before. I didn’t notice anything else. Just at the critical mont, I took the two of them into my space. Jianqi seed to understand silently and won’t say much, but Yizi was quite confused. It wouldn’t be easy to explain if she ntioned it publicly, so you better remind her," Tang Feng thought for a mont and said, preferring not to remind Yizi himself to avoid misunderstandings.
Bai Ruozhu looked puzzled, "Since you have space to help, why did it get so critical in the end?"
Tang Feng scratched his head, "We went in once before and waited for a long ti, thinking the ninjas were gone, so we ca out and returned to the posthouse. But they ambushed us on the road. The problem is that I can’t take people in again within three days."
Bai Ruozhu looked at him in surprise. She hadn’t expected Tang Feng’s space, which seed impressive, to have such a limitation. It seed that everything had its pros and cons, and she didn’t need to envy others.
"Can you enter the space yourself within those three days?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
Tang Feng paused and eventually nodded slightly.
"Thank you." Bai Ruozhu didn’t ask further, sincerely thanking him as she watched Tang Feng seriously.
He could have hidden to ensure his own safety, but he stayed to protect Jianqi and Yizi. For this loyalty, Bai Ruozhu would never forget.
Tang Feng felt a bit embarrassed, smiling bitterly, "When I was trapped in Chengshui Country, you all helped save . Jianqi and Yizi have helped a lot, too. Am I soone who doesn’t understand gratitude?"
"Haha, we’re all people who know how to repay kindness, also those who repay grievances in kind." Bai Ruozhu laughed, grinding her teeth, "You take good care of your injuries. I’ve taken note of this incident and will surely make them pay."
Tang Feng couldn’t help but laugh, "Why do I feel they might suffer more? Thinking this way, my injuries don’t seem like much."
"You rest well; there are still tough battles ahead," Bai Ruozhu gave Tang Feng a knowing look. Tang Feng knew there was more to co, but since she didn’t say, she had her reasons, so he didn’t ask.
Once out of Tang Feng’s room, Bai Ruozhu’s face turned grim, her teeth grinding. She thought, "It was just a mont after returning from Zhaoti Temple, and they already acted. Unable to touch , they targeted those around . How bold they are."
"Ruozhu, it must be those people!" Fo Lanying quickly walked over, checking her surroundings, and whispered.
Bai Ruozhu shook her head slightly at her, "I know, which is why I must make them suffer dearly!"
Fo Lanying rolled up her sleeves, "I’m with you; let’s hit them hard. I don’t believe we can’t take them down!"
Bai Ruozhu put her arm around her shoulders, "Don’t be impulsive. We haven’t yet identified the mastermind. Otherwise, tearing down their house wouldn’t be a problem, but we can vent our anger in other ways."
She then whispered a few words in Fo Lanying’s ear, making a look of excitent flash in her eyes.
When Bai Ruozhu returned to the room, she heard Gao Zhou discussing with Jiang Yichun inside, "They’re retaliating for us killing several of their shadow ninjas. Is it necessary to act so urgently? Move in broad daylight? If it weren’t for Ruozhu visiting Zhaoti Temple and disrupting their plans, they fear Ruozhu would reveal the truth upon seeing the Second Prince’s body?"
Jiang Yichun, under Bai Ruozhu’s instructions, could only vaguely respond, "Perhaps it all relates."
Gao Zhou looked puzzled, "If so, they shouldn’t have let Bai Ruozhu leave for Zhaoti Temple in the morning, should they? Why chase after Tang Feng later?"
Bai Ruozhu quickly shrank back; she better not enter to avoid explaining things awkwardly to Gao Zhou. Thus, Achun, sorry, but you’ll have to handle your father yourself.
However, Gao Zhou’s words reminded her that first, she needed the Emperor to make a decision quickly. Otherwise, how long would she have to wait? Her current situation was very passive.
Secondly, on her way to Zhaoti Temple, there was no trouble. It couldn’t be that the other party wasn’t ready; it only ant they hadn’t realized her crucial role and didn’t want to scare them off. But after leaving the temple, they quickly acted, indicating soone knew her whereabouts. There must be a spy near the Emperor!
They attacked Tang Feng and the others without fatal intent, aiming to capture them to threaten her. The goal was to prevent her from saving the Second Prince.
Thinking about this made her distressed; she needed a good talk with the Emperor. If he hesitated any longer, she would beco the most vulnerable, endangering her companions.
But now, it wasn’t convenient for her to leave, especially not safe to go out at the mont. How would she discuss matters with the Emperor?
As she pondered, Qiu Zhi ca running with news, calling out from afar, "Master, Sa Tian is here, wanting to ask about Master Puru."
Inside, Gao Zhou jumped up, calling, "Bai Ruozhu, why won’t you co in?"
Bai Ruozhu felt her lips twitch, glaring hard at Qiu Zhiyi. She sighed, ’Why did I keep this trouble? This guy had no sense.’
"I’ll go see Sa Tian first, and we’ll talk later," Bai Ruozhu left these words and dashed off.
Qiu Zhi, confused by Bai Ruozhu’s glare, wondered if he had misspoken sothing? Maybe it was his lack of honorifics? Should he have said, "You"?
Poor Qiu Zhi remained bewildered about what he had done wrong.
Bai Ruozhu moved like the wind to the main hall, finding Sa Tian pacing anxiously inside.
