Before departing, Prime Minister Bai took special care to advise Bai Susu, "Susu, it seems you won't be able to go home and rest for a while. With various factions gathering at the Imperial Palace now, staying here is actually safer than going elsewhere." Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately responded, "Grandfather, don't worry, I promise to stay here and not go anywhere. You can rest assured as you investigate the case."
Prime Minister Bai nodded and quickly followed Xia Ziyang, leaving the banquet scene.
No sooner had Prime Minister Bai left than the Western Princess Anata approached Bai Susu, dressed in a gauzy outfit revealing her arms and legs.
Upon meeting, Anata, a world away from her previously bold and arrogant manner in the street, greeted Bai Susu with a smile, saying, "Miss Bai is truly Da Qin's top female talent. Even a problem that neither Crown Prince Qi nor Zhao Sheng could solve was deciphered by you; you truly do us women proud."
