Wang Tingyue didn't hesitate, turning to Xiao Wu at his side. "Tomorrow, you will accompany the Lady and depart first."
This time, even a simple "yes" was omitted.
Liang Wan watched him in silence.
Wang Tingyue met her gaze. The corners of his lips twitched into a faint smile. "I can also make Lou Shixun travel even more slowly."
Liang Wan frowned. "Aren't you afraid I'll go ahead and tip him off?"
'On the surface, Gao Qian had adopted the Lou Family's suggestion, allowing Lou Shixun to take command of the army and escort Lu Xiu back to Jinye.'
'Although she didn't know the Empress Dowager's true purpose for employing Wang Tingyue, having him accompany the escort was surely a test. If Lu Xiu escaped, how could he possibly avoid being implicated?'
The half-moon cast a surprisingly bright reflection on the river. A cool, damp night wind brushed past their cheeks.
Perhaps it was the softness of the moonlight that made his gaze seem exceptionally gentle.
