"Are you upset with the Emperor?" Lu furrowed his brow, "We are old acquaintances, so I'll speak frankly. He is the Emperor. Many matters require his consideration, and they aren't as simple as they appear."
Bai Ruozhu was startled. Was Lu implying that the Emperor had listened, but was pretending it was a joke to avoid alerting the enemy?
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Lu. I really shouldn't enter the Palace. Please convey my message, and since the matter is still unclear, it's better to act discreetly to avoid alerting the enemy."
Chu Hai had previously told her that the poisoner was a mere pawn, and they're still after the big fish. Entering the Palace to detoxify now would just alert the other side to prepare.
Lu nodded, "You are right. I'll go report to the Emperor right away."
