Save Her, I Beg You

Bai Fu Rong’s body swayed, nearly falling to the ground. The cup on the table was knocked onto the ground, causing Bai Ze to let out a “huh” sound. The knocking sound became even more urgent, “Bai Fu Rong! Open up the door!”

Bai Fu Rong steadied herself then took a deep breath. Managing to stabilize herself, she raised her voice to say: “Stop knocking. Even if you knock, I won’t open it!” Her voice sounded as it did in the past; however, she had to force her voice and expend a great deal of effort to shout it. “Don’t bother me. I want to sleep. Quickly leave!”

Her words were very impolite, but this sounded similar to how Bai Fu Rong should sound to Bai Ze, thus he did not suspect too much, only muttering “Good intentions are not repaid in kind” or something to that effect before leaving.

Only then did Bai Fu Rong let out a sigh of relief, dropping into her chair. She then felt a fishy sweet taste surge up from her chest. Despite desperately trying to hold it down, some blood still trickled out of the corner of her mouth.

“With this sort of suffering, I fear that I won’t be able to survive six days.” She sighed bitterly and supported herself back to the bed before falling asleep.

However, this did not last for long. At ten past midnight, the sound of a hawk came once more. Bai Fu Rong reflexively opened her eyes, and a hatred surfaced in her eyes. But even if she felt hatred, she had no choice but to climb out of her bed and quietly put on her clothes. She also put on the bamboo hat that she usually wore before quietly walking to the back window. There were no soldiers stationed there, allowing her to get out.

The problem was that she was no longer as agile as before. Even hopping out of a window, she moved slowly like a 60- or 70-year-old person. After three attempts, she finally managed to get out through the window. As a result, she lost her balance and fell on the snow and ice, making it so she could not stand for a while.

Bai Ze had received an order from Xuan Tian Ming to keep an eye on Bai Fu Rong and to take note of all of her movements. When the hawk first appeared in the sky, he knew that Bai Fu Rong would definitely go out on this night, thus he wrapped around to the back window to stand watch.

Bai Fu Rong falling caused Bai Ze to feel odd. At first, he laughed for a while at how clumsy she was. She wasn’t even able to get out of such a low window smoothly. After that, he began to worry that Bai Fu Rong had injured her leg on the ice. After all, she had already twisted her ankle before, so she had never recovered fully. But after a little while longer, he began to feel anxious because Bai Fu Rong lay on the ground like a dead person, not moving at all.

Just as he was no longer able to hold back and wanted to go forward to inspect the situation, Bai Fu Rong finally moved a little; however, the voice that spoke sounded old, saying: “That fall hurt like mad.” There was nothing wrong with what she had said, but that voice sounded irregular to Bai Ze. In that instant, he really wondered if the person in the snow was Bai Fu Rong.

Finally, that person stood up once more, and Bai Ze watched her stagger forward, stopping from time to time to straighten out her back. The feeling that she was not Bai Fu Rong became even more profound.

He forcefully held back his curiosity and quietly followed behind her. Finally, after walking around for an hour, the person ahead stopped in a small alley.

There was still a person in black clothes waiting there. Bai Ze recognized it as the man that Bai Fu Rong had been in contact with along the way. Seeing that Bai Fu Rong came, the other person immediately said: “Master has a new mission for you. He wants you to kill imperial daughter Ji An within five days.”
