At noon, the Empress Dowager invited Bai Ruozhu and Dengdeng for a meal at Cining Palace. After eating, Bai Ruozhu, thinking of Dengdeng's naptime, took her leave from the palace.
As the horse carriage was traveling on the road, suddenly the coachman exclaimed and stopped, "Madam, someone is blocking the road."
Bai Ruozhu's heart tightened, and she was about to lift the curtain to look when she heard Jianqi, who accompanied her, say in a low voice from outside, "Master, it's Gao Zhou."
That handsome uncle? He left without a word last time. What was he doing stopping her carriage now?
The next second, Gao Zhou's voice rang out, "Is that Bai Xiao-you inside the carriage? Last time I received a distress signal from my servant and didn't get the chance to bid farewell to Bai Xiao-you. We wasted a good meal, for which I truly apologize!"
