Chapter 732: Chapter 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.

Bai Qingyan sat calmly behind the screen, holding a cup of hot tea, waiting. When a servant reported that Bai Jinxiu had reached Lanshan Courtyard, she put down her teacup and said to Cuiyu, whose palms were tightly clenched, "Cuiyu, go tell the guards... to send a message to Zhenguang to bring the person to Qinghui Courtyard."

"Yes!" Cuiyu, suddenly named, stiffened for a moment and immediately ran out.

The Eldest Young Lady repeatedly emphasized that the most important aspect of this task was timing. The person delivering the message would enter Qinghui Courtyard just as Second Young Lady brought the Crown Prince’s people and the Imperial Physician, so they would hear the conversation between the Eldest Young Lady and the messenger clearly.

This was also the first time Cuiyu had handled such a task. Her heart felt tightly strung.

Soon, the patrolling guards of Bai Mansion nodded discreetly toward Zhenguang when they passed by, as she accompanied the servant sent by Li Mingrui around Qinghui Courtyard.

Zhenguang turned to Li Mingrui’s servant and said, "This way, please..."

Zhenguang had just brought Li Mingrui’s servant into the main room when Bai Jinxiu entered through the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard.

Standing on the porch, Zhenming gently knocked on the window lattice, signaling the maid inside to lift the curtains so the servant could speak to Bai Qingyan. She rushed up anxiously and said, "Second Young Lady, someone in our mansion claims to have important matters to discuss with Eldest Young Lady. Despite her condition, Eldest Young Lady insisted on getting up and calling him over! Please persuade Eldest Young Lady!"

"This is absurd! What could be more important than my elder sister’s health?!" Bai Jinxiu turned to the Imperial Physician, "Imperial Physician, please, check on my elder sister! She’s causing a scene!"

The Imperial Physician responded repeatedly, carrying his medicine chest and following Bai Jinxiu up the steps. Inside, they heard the servant respectfully say, "My master asked me to inform Princess of Zhen that Wang Qiulu has been in close contact with King Liang. Princess of Zhen must be vigilant!"
