Qing Yi stood up and started to walk toward the door. "This slave will be back soon; don't worry, Your Majesty the Empress!"
Su Luo wanted to grab Qing Yi, but Eryue held onto her waist tightly, refusing to let go.
In the brief delay, Qing Yi had already left the secret chamber.
Su Luo's heart was filled with unease. While coaxing Eryue, she kept glancing anxiously at the doorway.
The situation had deviated from the plan. This feeling of losing control was far from pleasant. She could only hope that nothing unexpected would happen to Qing Yi.
As Qing Yi exited Zhengyang Palace, Wei Shang had already brought his men into the palace as well.
Of course, he was only accompanied by a few attendants, and none of them were armed.
Lu Xingchi entered the palace along with them, but Lu Xinghe was not part of this group.
Lu Xinghe was to disguise himself as a vegetable delivery worker and entered the palace gates later.
