Li Huaixi hurried to Jingyang Palace, while Qi Yu, accompanied by Shi Zhou, had already boarded the carriage bound for the Prince Residence.
After letting down the curtain, Qi Yu lowered her voice and said to Shi Zhou, "Just now, the Empress kept asking about your whereabouts. I suspect she's plotting to remove us root and branch."
Shi Zhou hummed in response, then added, "I'm not afraid of her."
Qi Yu chuckled and shook her head, "I know you're not afraid, but the Empress has many tricks up her sleeve. However, as long as you stay within the Prince Residence, she can't touch you."
Even if the Empress's reach was long, it could not extend into the Prince Qiu Residence.
The Imperial City was not like Jiangnan; any small disturbance within the Imperial Palace could not escape Li Tianze's eyes.
Upon entering the Prince Residence, Qi Yu went to the back yard to find Liu Wensheng and Feng Yue and told them about the day's events at the Imperial Palace.
