"Something's come up at the Royal Academy, there's an urgent mission, Second Madam need not worry!"
These words landed heavily, Gong Qingwan's complexion worsened...
"Something's happened at the Royal Academy, what exactly is it..." Gong Qingwan asked cautiously, deliberately putting on an air of nonchalance, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, she was very worried.
Li Yan's thin lips parted, saying: "It's a royal secret, I cannot disclose it."
A royal secret...
What a grand excuse.
Gong Qingwan took a step back, nearly losing her balance, feeling unwell all over.
But at this moment!
Li Yan's voice, tinged with 'concern', echoed: "Second Madam didn't sleep well last night, why does she look so unwell!"
Having done harmful deeds, she still wishes to sleep peacefully; to look well would be a daydream.
Gong Qingwan's heart was heavy, anxious and scared, feeling as if the day and night passed in perpetual unease.
