Bai Ruozhu softly reminded, "Everyone, be cautious. I'm afraid midnight is more advantageous for them."
Ning Yu nodded, "Otherwise, should we find a way to force them out earlier?"
"Not long now. Even if he comes out now, stalling for some time would bring us to midnight anyway. After all, he has a hostage, and there's nothing we can do to him. Better not to provoke him; pretend we know nothing." Bai Ruozhu was more concerned that Diao Bin might suffer.
However, Meng Jinse became anxious. She simply took off the disguise of the human-skin mask and stepped forward, saying, "Call him to see me."
She wore the most ordinary cotton clothes, with only a simple hairpin in her hair, yet her presence was impossible to ignore, like an empress gracing the world.
Seeing this side of Meng Jinse, Bai Ruozhu felt even more distressed.
When she was trapped in King Rui's Imperial Palace, tormented everywhere, how did she manage to grit her teeth and endure?
