Nanny Yu saw the grim look on her mistress's face and said as they walked, "Your Highness, please try not to worry. They've rescued her. The fortunate are protected by heaven; she will be all right."
Yun Zhao hadn't encountered a situation like this in many years.
She was genuinely a bit unsettled by such an abrupt development.
'An Shutong is the Empress Dowager's own niece. The Empress Dowager will certainly use this as a pretext to cause trouble. There will be no peace tonight.'
As soon as Xiangxue left, Shizhu hurried to catch up. It wouldn't do for her mistress to be accompanied only by Nanny Yu.
When Yun Zhao saw her catch up, she immediately ordered, "Take this Token, gather some men, and go on ahead to Baihua Pavilion. Join Zhang Maoquan and secure the entire place for me."
"Yes, I will go at once." Shizhu quickened her pace and disappeared into the night.
