Chapter 732 - 729: A Shock to the Eye_1
"Yes!" Zhenguang bowed and hurried out of Qinghui Courtyard.
Bai Qingyan knew the most crucial part of this matter was to grasp the timing. Too fast or too slow would both be wrong. This task could be said to be both simple and difficult, depending on the competence of the people executing it.
When Bai Jinxiu left, she left Cuibi and Cuiyu behind. Bai Qingyan instructed Cuibi, "Cuibi, go and instruct a squad of guards to wait around Qinghui Courtyard."
"Yes! I’ll go right away!" Cuibi responded and walked out of the main room of Qinghui Courtyard, her palms damp with sweat. It was her first time handling an errand for the Eldest Young Lady, and she desperately didn’t want to make any mistakes.
Bai Qingyan looked at the eager maid Zhenming and said, "Zhenming, go arrange for a few quick-handed gatekeepers to guard the main path leading to Qinghui Courtyard. Once Second Young Lady and her group arrive, report back immediately!"
"Yes!" Zhenming accepted the order and swiftly ran out of the courtyard.
As soon as Bai Jinxiu entered the Princess of Zhen’s mansion with the Crown Prince’s nanny and the Imperial Physician, information was continuously sent to Qinghui Courtyard.
Servants and maids went in and out of Qinghui Courtyard. A maid came to report that Second Young Lady had reached the Chuihua gate. Moments later, a servant reported that Second Young Lady had arrived at Shishan Hall. Another maid rushed in, panting, to say Second Young Lady had crossed Yanyu Pavilion.
