'He agreed to let me go when I ran into him in Su Fengyue's courtyard earlier,' Ji Qingwu mused. 'He even told me where to find it. Is he going back on his word now?'
She was still holding Su Daiyue's last effects, which she had to return to her mother. She had made a promise, and she intended to keep it.
She reminded him, "Your Majesty gave me directions just a moment ago."
