Clearly, what Bai Huamin wanted to convey was just this message.
After chatting about some other things, Bai Huamin then took her leave.
Her visit to the Prime Minister Mansion wasn't just to meet with Ding Zhennan; she indeed had other matters.
Although she didn't state it explicitly, the implication from the conversation was related to the recent naval battle and involved a diplomatic mission personally assigned by the Grand Secretary.
As expected, it's highly likely that she would act as a special envoy and secretly contact the Newland Authority through a neutral third country.
Not long after Bai Huamin left, the Prime Minister's secretary hurried over to inform the arriving generals that the military meeting would commence in 10 minutes.
