Lian Hua stared in the direction Xu De Fei had left, lost in thought. Though she didn't know what had happened, she could guess something must have gone wrong.
Thinking of Nanny Qi in the Canglan Court, and the beast's roar coming from that direction, her heart became anxious and restless. She quickly restrained herself, reminding herself she must stay calm.
She was heavily pregnant; returning would only add to the trouble, and there were matters that tied her down. The Canglan Court was surrounded as tightly as an iron barrel, with people secretly guarding around it. The recently arrived young eunuchs and palace maids were skilled; they should be able to protect Nanny Qi well, at least for the time being.
Thinking this way, Lian Hua felt slightly reassured, regained her composure, and started organizing the matters De Fei hadn't had time to arrange.
