This earthquake lasted for a quarter of an hour, and just as it was settling down, government soldiers arrived, stating that they were acting under the Emperor's orders to protect the safety of the Noble Ladies and judges.
Seeing the situation stabilize, Bai Ruozhu took leave of everyone, planning to leave together with Jiang Yichun and the others.
Princess Ya'an seemed a bit absent-minded, perhaps still pondering over previous events, or unable to accept that her trusted friend Hui Zi would plot against her like that.
"Fangzi, shall we escort you back?" Bai Ruozhu whispered to Fangzi, fearing that once they left, Fangzi might be targeted by Hui Zi again.
Fangzi quickly shook her head, "You've already helped me a lot. The Emperor will arrange for someone to send us home. Master Bai, you've also worked hard all day, please go back and rest."
Bai Ruozhu saw her understanding, which made him feel a bit more fond of her, and then he left with Jiang Yichun and the others.
